Destiny Christian Church - Wakefield

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2024

The Trustees present their annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024.

The board of trustees are pleased with the overall performance of the Charity during the year, the position at 31 December 2024 and consider that the Charity is in a stable position to continue its activities during the coming year, and that the Charity's assets are adequate to fulfil its obligations.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

-To advance the Christian faith in our City, the UK and around the world as we are able. To help bring relief to those who are needy.

-Through the provision of Sunday Services and other mid-week services including children's club and youth events, Destiny aims to strengthen peoples Christian faith and extend the Christian faith to the local community.

-To give relief to people in hardship in the UK and overseas by giving financial support and arranging mission trips to help in community projects.

-To help serve the needs of our local community by providing a variety of community initiatives which are available to all.

The Charity's Strategies

Grantmaking

The Trustees carefully consider the help that they might give to support other churches in their mission, be that in the UK or abroad. All such organisations would have similar aims and objectives to Destiny Christian Church - Wakefield. Generally, most donations are made to organisations with whom we have a long term relationship and we remain involved in the overseeing of those donations being used for the purpose for which they are given. Such donations arise because of the decision of the Trustees of Destiny Christian Church and not from requests and applications.

Volunteers

The Church relies on, and greatly appreciates, the very considerable input of volunteers who help to make most of the activates of this busy church happen.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

The directors have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the Charity's needs. This is based on the Charity's size and the level of financial commitments held. The Directors aim to ensure the Charity will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure. The Directors will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily.

The Trustees of Destiny Christian Church have decided to keep some funds in reserve to help pay ongoing costs of running the Church - especially the loan, should the Church experience any loss or dip in incoming donations. We endeavour to keep 3 months of the cost of the building loan repayments in savings.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Destiny Christian Church - Wakefield

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Destiny Christian Church - Wakefield ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024.

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

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Income

Incoming resources are accounted for on a receivable basis deferred as described below where appropriate.

Investment Income

Bank interest received is included on an actual receipts basis.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 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.

In particular the policy for including items within costs of generating funds and charitable activities costs is:

Charitable activities

This includes the cost of goods and services and ancillary costs that have been incurred in charitable activities. The ministers are involved with such activities and therefore the relevant stipend costs are treated as direct charitable expenditure.

Allocation and apportionment of costs

The methods and principles for the allocation and apportionment of all costs between the different activity categories of resources set out above are:

The Charity's operating costs including staff costs, rent and other related costs. Such costs are allocated between types of resources expended and between charitable expenditure and management and administration on the basis of estimates made by the directors.

The bases of the estimates used were a common sense assessment of the nature of the costs involved.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Freehold property - 2% on cost Fixtures and fittings - at varying rates on cost

A regular annual review of the likelihood of asset impairment is undertaken. The basis of this review is to examine the assets in their current use and establish that they are fit for purpose.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Capital Grants

Tangible fixed assets

Gifts of tangible fixed assets or grants of a capital nature given for the specific purposes and fully utilised in the furtherance of the objects of the Charity should be credited to the relevant fixed asset fund after the sums have been properly expended on the restricted purpose. The related asset is shown in the balance sheet at the full cost of acquisition or subsequent revaluation.

If the related assets are subject to restriction by the grant making organisation or individuals on their use and disposal, then this restriction is noted in the fixed asset section of these accounts. In such circumstances, the fixed asset fund created is treated as a restricted fixed asset fund. As the related assets are depreciated, then a transfer is made from restricted fixed asset funds to unrestricted revenue reserves to reflect the diminution in the asset subject to the restriction.

If the related assets are not subject to restrictions by the grant making organisation on their use and disposal, then the fixed asset fund created is treated as a designated fixed asset fund. As the related assets are depreciated, then a transfer is made from designated fixed asset funds to unrestricted revenue reserves to reflect the diminution in the asset. In this year a sum of £nil (2023: £Nil) was transferred from designated fixed asset funds to unrestricted revenue reserves.

Any residual liability to the donor arising from, for example, the asset's future sale, is disclosed as a contingent liability unless the event that would trigger repayment of the grant becomes probable in which case a liability for repayment is recognised.

Taxation

As a registered Charity, the Company is exempt from income and corporation tax to the extent that its income and gains are applicable to charitable purposes only. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the company and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities.

Fund accounting

The Charity maintains a general unrestricted fund which represents funds which are expendable at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the objects of the Charity. Such funds may be held in order to finance both working capital and capital investment.

Restricted funds have been provided to the Charity for the particular purposes, and it is the policy of the Board of Trustees to carefully monitor the application of these funds in accordance with the restriction placed upon them.

There is no formal policy of transfer between funds or on the allocation of funds to designated funds, other than that described above.

Any other proposed transfer between funds would be considered in the particular circumstances.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts are capitalised in the balance sheet and depreciated over their useful lives. The interest element of these obligations is charged to the profit and loss account over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.

Finance and operating leases

Rentals payable in respect of operating leases where substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as incurred.

Winding up or dissolution of the charity

If upon winding up or dissolution of the Charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all the debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the Charity.
