REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

for the year ended 31 July 2020

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The Charity's objects are to promote the advancement of Evangelical Christian Causes on an ecumenical basis.

The principal activity of the charity during the year was the running of the Christian Resources Centre known as 'The Triangle', In addition the Charity sponsored and facilitated a number of local events.

PUBLIC BENEFIT

The Charity is of public benefit in the following ways:

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Bookshop sales for the year reduced to £75,977 (compared to £104,501 in 2019) against a background of difficult trading conditions for retailers and the Covid 19 pandemic restrictions and lockdown. Out of shop sales including orders for Schools and Churches have continued during the lockdowns where possible and we have had support from individual customers with telephone, email and website placed orders.

Voluntary income including legacies for the period was slightly lower at £56,875 (compared to £58,455 in 2019).

The reduction is rent and reduced purchases resulted in total resources expended reducing to £137,426 (from £164,266 in 2019) meaning there was a net income for the period of £6,197.

The Charity's subsidiary, The Triangle Café Limited had a turnover for the period of £41,710 (compared to £68,553 in 2019). The subsidiary did not pay any management charge to the Charity. The net result was a loss of £11654 (compared to a loss of £6,916 in 2019). The café continues to be significantly impacted by the pandemic and has been closed for the majority of the 2020 and into 2021.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Principal funding sources

The main sources of income, derive from the sales of Christian literature and media, donations from members and supporters and sales from the subsidiary, the Triangle Café Limited.

Investment policy

Under the memorandum and articles of association, the charity has the power to make any investment which the trustees see fit, after obtaining advice from a financial expert and having regard to the suitability of investments and the need for diversification.

Reserves policy

The General Fund represents the Unrestricted funds arising from the past operating results. It also represents the free reserves of the charity, as all fixed assets are included in the fixed asset fund, which is a designated fund. The general fund balance was £68,885 at 31st July 2020 and the aim of the trustees is to build this up to a balance which represents 3 months of operating expenditure.

FUTURE PLANS

The General Fund represents the Unrestricted funds arising from the past operating results. It also represents the free reserves of the charity, as all fixed assets are included in the fixed asset fund, which is a designated fund. The general fund balance was £68,885 at 31st July 2020 and the aim of the trustees is to build this up to a balance which represents 3 months of operating expenditure.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Farnborough Christian Outreach (a company limited by guarantee) was incorporated on 3rd August 2000, and was registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales on 28th November 2000. On 31st January 2001, all of the assets and liabilities of the Farnborough Christian Outreach Trust (an unincorporated Charity, registered under the charity number 285306) were gifted to Farnborough Christian Outreach.

On 15th December 2000, The Triangle Café Limited (company number 4126321) was incorporated, with the sole issued share being held by Farnborough Christian Outreach. This company carries out the activities of the café situated in the new premises of Farnborough Christian Outreach, to which the charity moved in November 2001.

The company was established under its Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed by its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up, members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10.

Appointment and induction of trustees

Trustees are appointed by the members and at each Annual General Meeting, one third of Board Members will retire from office. On retirement, trustees are eligible for re-election. The Articles of Association provides for a minimum of three trustees and no maximum. The trustees are also responsible for the appointment of new members.

New trustees undergo an induction to brief them on their legal obligations under charity and company law, the content of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the decision making processes and the recent performance of the charity. They meet key employees and the other trustees.

Organisational policy

The trustees meet every month. The general manager is appointed to manage the day to day operations of the charity. To facilitate effective operations, the general manager has delegated authority, within the terms of delegation approved by the trustees, for operational matters including finance and employment.

Risk assessment policy

The trustees have worked with staff to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF FARNBOROUGH CHRISTIAN OUTREACH

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Farnborough Christian Outreach ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 July 2020.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
