The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, - to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of independent examiner's statement** My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the organisation and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. ## **Independent examiner's statement** In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that: - proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act); and - accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act; or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. Zita Derbak MAAT AATQB Independent Examiners Ltd 2 Broadbridge Business Centre Sign: Delling Lane Bosham West Sussex Dated: 25.01.2024 PO18 8NF 4 ## **BRIDGE CHURCH HAYLING ISLAND** ## **TRUSTEES REPORT** ## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** The principal activities of the church continue to be: • To advance the Christian faith in this country and overseas; by following and proclaiming the principles and truths of the Bible; by arranging public and other meetings for worship, praise, evangelism, teaching, study and encouragement and prayer; by supporting other churches on Hayling Island and in South-East Hampshire, and nationally where appropriate, sharing these objectives. - To relieve persons in need and hardship both in this country and overseas. The church has supported initiatives on Haylin - Island and runs The Bridge Advice Centre for all areas of advice, but specialising in debt, benefits, and form filling. We also provide a Food Bank & Crisis Fund and drop-in centre. We have provided financial support to an area around Bhadrachalam, Andhra Pradesh, India to support orphans and the local community as shown in the annual accounts. - To advance Christian education by providing assistance at schools and colleges on Hayling Island and surrounding areas - South East Hampshire. (Part of the financial support to the Indian orphanage, see point 2 above, also covers some of their education.) ## Trustees and other Church Officers Trustees Mr Paul Dennison Mrs Sandra Harmer Mr Barry King Mr Keith Peake Church Leader Mrs Mary Dennison ## **Review of Annual Activities** We continue with community outreach programmes, as appropriate, to support Hayling Island and other areas in close proximity to the Island. Within our activities we incorporate Computer Courses, a Pre-School Group, and The Bridge Advice Centre which provides debt and benefits advice. The work of the Bridge Advice Centre is affiliated to Frontline Debt Advice (UK), Charity No 1134908. The Bridge Café offers coffee and tea and other refreshments in a friendly atmosphere where members of the public can meet with various representatives of community groups. All our activities are undertaken within the national guidelines in place at that time. We support other churches on the island on an informal basis. Our Church Leaders continue to liaise with a number of churches, both locally and further afield, and also the local schools. We continue to provide direct support to India for Orphans in the hostel at Rajivnagar. We continue to operate the Food Bank and Crisis Fund with the support of local churches, and individual donations. We manage this working with the other churches, local agencies and government organisations, and liaising with The Bridge Advice Centre. The objective is to give ‘a hand up’ and not just provide ‘a hand out’. We also assist with some homeless situations and the needs of people trying to return to work. We have provided some financial help where considered appropriate. ## **Contribution made by volunteers** All our activities are operating with the help of volunteers and are as listed below:- - Our Café/Drop-In Centre operates with 6 volunteers during the week. - Our Pre-School group operates with up to 5 volunteers. - Our Seniors computer course operates with 2 volunteers. - Our Debt Advice team has 5 volunteers. - (We have a volunteer manager who oversees the Bridge Advice team activities). 5 BRIDGE CHIIRCH HAYLING ISLAND TRUSTEES REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023 There wert 51>me SIOn￿cant changes to rnember5hip in 2021-2022.

The Bridge Church Hayling Island meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. ## Preparation of accounts on a going concern basis Preparation of the accounts is on a going concern basis. The Trustees are of the view that the level of reserves will support the charity going forward. The charity has applied Update Bulletin 1 as published on 2 February 2016 and does not include a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is applying FRS 102 Section 1A. ## 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - a) Donations: Donations are accounted for gross when received. ## b) Legacies: Legacies are accounted for when their receipt is certain and can be properly quantified. - c) Investment Income: Investment income is included in the accounts in the year it is receivable. - d) Fund Raising and Publicity Costs: The church does not make formal appeals for funds, and expenditure on these items is therefore not material. - e) Grants Payable: The church makes grants to other organisations whose charitable objects complement its work. They are accounted for in the year in which they are paid. - f) Governance Costs: - This represents direct expenditure on the governance of the church. Most of the management is carried out without charge by volunteers. This intangible cost is not included in the Statement of Financial Activities since there is no measurable cost to volunteers for their service. - g) Fixed Assets: Fixed assets are measured at cost. ## h) Depreciation: Depreciation has not been charged on the land as it is assumed to have an unlimited useful life. Depreciation has not been charged on the Church or Manse premises, because in the opinion of the Trustees, the residual value of the asset is not less than the original cost. Depreciation on other fixed assets are calculated on a straight line basis over their expected useful life, at the following rates: |rates:|| |---|---| |Computer Equipment|25%| |Music Equipment|25%| |Projection Equipment|25%| |Fixtures and Fittings|25%| 9 **BRIDGE CHURCH HAYLING ISLAND** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** ## **1.
