Report of the Directors
King’s Church Lewes
The Directors present their report and accounts for the period ended 31 March 2021.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity’s memorandum and articles, applicable law and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP - FRS102) and the Charities Act 2011.
Organisational Structure
The Church is managed on a day to day basis by the Church elders, two of whom are employed full time together with supporting office staff. The elders and staff are overseen by the trustees/directors of the charity.
Objectives of the Charity
The charity was established by a charitable trust deed on 5 May 2000. The charity’s objects are:
-
To advance the Christian faith by such means as the charity from time to time shall determine
-
To relieve persons who are in condition of need, hardship or distress
-
To educate and assist young people through their leisure time activities so as to develop their physical, mental and spiritual capacity
-
To advance education in family life, in marriage and family relationships
Impact of the Pandemic
The Government imposed lockdowns during the past year, risk assessment and listening to the concerns of its members meant that the Church closed its Sunday services during 2020-21, except for September, October and November. The Church provided video teaching and worship on Sundays through its website, plus Sunday meetings on Zoom in the early part of the 2021. Connect Groups and Prayer meetings continued online through Zoom. The elders provided pastoral care through phone calls, text messages and outdoor meetings.
The Church lost income due to periods of being unable to hire out its building. It furloughed several staff members and later made one administrator redundant due to lack of work. However, as charitable giving from its members held up together with saving money on utilities, this meant that it made a surplus.
During the past year, the Church lost around 10% of its members: through death (not with Covid), moving away, changing churches, and deciding not to return to church.

Report of the Directors
King’s Church Lewes
Review of Activities
The Church continues to serve the people of the Lewes area in accordance with its aims and objectives. Church membership consists of around 100 adults. There are also about 50 children who attend. It serves the community in a variety of ways:
-
Explore courses for those seeking to learn more about the Christian faith
-
Other courses such as: keep fit, art, marriage, finance, parenting and freedom in Christ
-
Connect groups for the support and care of members
-
Social action activities which provide a variety of practical support to the local community including King’s Friends (befriending scheme for vulnerable and lonely adults), Transforming Lives for Good (coaching for primary school students at risk of exclusion) and hosting the Malling Food Bank.
The majority of activities are largely staffed by un-paid volunteers. The Church supports disadvantaged people in other parts of the world. We have ongoing relationships with churches in Albania and provide financial assistance to support various projects throughout the year. The Church is well regarded in the local community for its work with children and young people, and is seeing a continuing use of its building by the local community despite the pandemic.
The Church was able to continue employing a full-time youth worker. This role has meant co-ordinating the youth work, the other (adult) volunteer helpers and events aimed at reaching out to the local community. Provision on a regular basis includes a Sunday morning meeting for the Youth and a regular mid-week Youth Group gathering, as well as many other opportunities for the young people to connect through socialising, activity and leisure, even if some of these things have been conducted remotely via online channels. This support has helped to build relationships and community amongst the Youth, encouraging them in the development of their own faith and further develop links with the youth in our community.
Financial Review
The Church is funded mainly by the regular giving of its members and has a limited need for reserves. Giving by Church members remained stable even though the economic outlook was uncertain at times. The Church membership also supported a one-off gift day to raise funds to continue the employment of its full-time youth worker. Additional revenue was generated by hiring the hall and rooms in the building to individuals, community groups, NHS Trusts, the police, businesses, and local government.
The financial results for the period are set out in the annexed financial statements. The income was £242,638 with £198,760 expended during the year and capital repayments made of £28,057. The only loans outstanding being the mortgage from Santander Bank, which at the end of the year stands at £156,211. The property has a market value of approximately £850,000.

Future Plans
The Church’s aim is to provide similar activities to those currently operating. These activities would generally take place in the premises that are owned by the Church and are fitted out for this purpose. Our hope is that when all restrictions are lifted the Church will be able to resume many of the other activities that it was running before the pandemic.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Preparation & Assessment of Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) - Charities SORP (FRS102)) and incorporating update bulletin 1, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
The functional currency of the charity is sterling (£).
The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
Advantage has been taken of Section 396(5) of The Companies Act 2006 to allow the format of the financial statements to be adapted to reflect the special nature of the charity's operation and in order to comply with the requirements of the SORP.
The charity has opted to prepare its accounts using natural categories.
Changes to accounting estimates
No changes to accounting estimates have occurred in the reporting period
Material prior period errors and changes to previous accounts
No material prior period errors have been identified and there have been no changes to the previous financial year accounts.
Assessment of Going Concern
Preparation of the accounts is on a going concern basis. The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Income
Recognition of Income
These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when:
-
the charity becomes entitled to the income;
-
it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and
-
the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Offsetting
There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.
Grants and Donations
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS 102 SORP).
Tax Reclaims on Donations and Gifts
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
Gifts in Kind
Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Legacies
Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met.
Government Grants
The charity has received government grants relating to the job retention scheme in the reporting period.
Donated goods
Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so.
The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.
Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'.
Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.
Donated Services and Facilities
Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.
Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA.
Volunteer Help
The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the Directors' annual report.
Income from interest, royalties and dividends
This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.
Expenditure and liabilities
Liability Recognition
Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
Governance and Support Costs
Support costs represent the cost of central functions, for example governance costs, payroll administration, information technology. Governance costs are those support costs which relate to public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.
Employee benefits
Short term benefits including holiday pay are recognised as an expense in the period in which the service is received.
Redundancy cost
The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period.
Deferred income
No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts.
