the accounting policies set out on page 8 and t￿mplY with the charity's trust deed, the Charities
Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charits'es.. 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 published on 16 July 2014.
The trustees also gave consideration to the Charty Commission's guidan￿ on public benefit
and, in particular the specific guidan￿ concerned with the advancement of religion. Our
constitution and objects as described below set out our mission to proclaim the Christian faith
through the advancement of edu(3tion amongst children and young people, and through
supporting those in need, both in Burscough and in other countries around the world.
Constitutlon and objects
The Burscough Outreath Trust is constituted under a trust deed dated 6 September 2001 and
is a registered charity number 1089034.
The objects of the charity are to advance the Christian faith in Burscough and other such parts
of the UK or world as the trustees from time to time think fit, in any of the following ways:
To advance education in aC￿rdance with the Christian faith amongst children and
young people including those in schools, colleges and othereducational establishments.
To relieve persons who are in conditions of need or hardship or who are aged or sick,
and to relieve the distress caused thereby;
To promote and fulfil any such other charitable purposes in furtherance of the above
objects as the trustees from time to time detemiine.
Appointment of Trustees
The body of trustees consists of 5 persons being 3 ex-officio trustees. namely the vicar and
two of the church wardens of the ecclesiastical parish of St John the Baptist, Burscough,. and
2 nominated trustees who shall hold office for 4 years.
Risk Assessment
The major risks to which the chanty is exposed, as identified by the Trustees, have been
reviewed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks.
Reserves Pollcy
As an employer, the trustees believe that it is important to have a reasonable and morally
responsible policy to the holding of reserves. Our policy, therefore, is to always hold enough
unrestricted reserves to cover our employee costs for at least 6 months.
At 31" December2020. restricted reserves were held totalling £61.418 (2019: £30,805). These
related to: Salaries (£5.751,. Belarus projects (£7.944).' support of young people on mission
projects (£4,663). Hardship grants to families and young people (£24,267). Democratic
Republic of Congo project (£18.136}', and several other small restricted reserves {totalling
£657). In addition, the trust held unrestricted reserves amounting to £50.521 {2019.. £36,877).

THE BURSCOUGH OUTREACH TRUST
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED)
General review of th8 year
During the year the trust has re￿iVed both restricted and unrestricted donations from
individuals and other organisations. The trust is grateful to have received generous grants
from St John the Baptist Church. Burscough, towards the payment of salaries. and future
mission projects in Belarus. Total incoming resources amounted to £79,801.
During the year the trust supported three roles: a Youth & Young Adull's Ministry Co-ordinator.
a Children & Families, Ministry Co-ordinator (whojoined the team towards the end of the year).
and a Pastoral Ministry & Social Action Co-ordinator. Through St John the Baptist Church, and
working with many volunteers, they provide a wide range of activities for teenagers, children.
families and older people in the local area and support in times of crisis and need. The trust
was also able to fund training for some of the volunteers working with young people. As the
restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic severely limited the ability of some staff to be able
to fully cary out their roles, one member of staff was furtoughed for part of the year.
Funding was also provided, using income from specific donations, to Oaks Church Plant in
Skelmersdale. Again. due to the COVID-19 pandemic it was not possible for the chutch led
project to take place in Belarus and therefore monies received for this have been held for a
future project. Grants were also made to enable children and young people to take part in
churchlschool activities. Total resour￿$ expended amounted to £35.544.
ststement of trustees, responsibilities
The charity trustees are responsible for preparing a trustees, annual report and financial
statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards
{United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial
statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the charity s financial
activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those
financial statements, the trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.,
observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended
practice have been followed subject to any material departures that must be disclosed
and explained in the financial statements.,
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to
presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with
reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure
that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities
(Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the Trust deed. They are also
responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and taking reasonable steps for the
prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

THE BURSCOUGH OUTREACH TRUST
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED)
Throughout 2020, the charity took steps (in line with government advice) to help contain the
ou+break of COVID-19. This included staff working from home and any activities undertaken
to support children, young people and families moving online. The pandemic does not appear
to have had a material impact upon the income of the trust, but the trustees are monitoring
income and expenditure and, if it becomes necessary, will take measures to mitigate the impact
of COVID-19 on the charity's free reserrfes.
