## **THE WELLSPRING FAMILY CHURCH-DEREHAM (COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) DIRECTORS'  REPORT** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022** 

## **Leadership and Links** 

Direction and decisions relating to the incorporated charity are made by the Trustees in consultation with the Elders/Leaders, who are responsible for governing the life and teaching of the church.  On 31 March 2022 Wellspring Family Church had four Elders and six trustees. 

Day-to-day decisions on expenditure and activities are decided by the leaders and volunteers in charge of defined areas of the church, with budgets set and monitored by the Trustees. 

The powers of appointment or removal of Trustees rests with the members of the charity, who are at present the Trustees and Elders.  New Trustees are selected from the members of the church or from the leaders of other local churches sharing the same vision, so that the Trustee body is wholeheartedly involved in seeing the mission of the church worked out in practice. 

On being appointed, new Trustees spend time with the existing Trustees to ensure they understand the responsibilities and the legal and financial framework in which the church operates.  The trustees continue to keep all of our policies and procedures under review to ensure good practice in progressing the charity’s objects. 

Wellspring Family Church, its Trustees, Elders/Leaders and members are committed to the restoration of New Testament principles in the structure and operation of the Church. 

The church values the work of Peter Collinson who fulfils the role of Team Leader. Together the team of Elders bring spiritual leadership to the church. 

The achievement of the charity’s objects depends to a large extent on the commitment and work of church members in their day-to-day lives and in the wider community, and so a purpose of the leadership must be to train, encourage and support the rest of the church membership in this.   This helps the church achieve its great commission through praying, visiting and assisting the sick and others in need, and in public teaching and worship. Very significant levels of volunteer service are given by the members of the church in these areas, some of it channelled through the important projects of our sister charity Wellspring Family Centre. 

Wellspring Family Church operates primarily but not exclusively in Dereham and the surrounding local villages. Although the Church is totally autonomous, self-supporting and is not part of a denomination, it does form part of a strong affiliation of about 75 evangelical churches and new church plants across the UK and beyond called ‘Relational Mission’. 

Wellspring Family Church is actively involved with a ‘Relational Mission Community’ which is led by Jon Beardon. This smaller sub-group of churches which includes Life Church Sheringham, New Life Community Church, North Walsham, Kings Community Church, Norwich, Aylsham Community Church, Hope Community Church, Wymondham, Christ Community Church, Attleborough, Hope Church, Thetford, Kingsgate Church, Great Yarmouth, and New Life Christian Fellowship and Beccles. 

The links with Relational Mission provides the leaders with friendship, mutual advice and support; it gives the church a broader perspective on developments in the Christian world and practice, and permits participation in broader projects such as conferences and overseas projects. 

The Church belongs to the national organisation 'The Evangelical Alliance' that represents over a million Christians in mainstream evangelical churches. 

Locally it has a good working relationship with many churches across the denominations.  The leaders meet regularly for fellowship and regular inter-church activities are well supported. 

Overseas ministry plays a very important part in the life of Wellspring Family Church and particular links with Serbia, supporting Good News Church in Nis in the south of that country and also the Oaks Community Church, in Pardubice, Czech Republic. 

The achievement of the charity’s objects depends to a large extent on the commitment and work of church members in their day-to-day lives and in the wider community, and so a purpose of the leadership must be to train, encourage and support the rest of the church membership in this. This helps the church achieve its great commission through praying, visiting and assisting the sick and others in need, and in public teaching and worship. Very significant levels of volunteer service are given by the members of the church in these areas, some of it channelled through the important projects of our sister charity Wellspring Family Centre.

## **THE WELLSPRING FAMILY CHURCH-DEREHAM (COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) DIRECTORS' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022** 

## **Review of Charitable Activities** 

Activities addressing the above objects have been significantly impacted by the ongoing effects of the coronavirus pandemic during the past year. In order to adapt to the pandemic and in line with Government guidance most of our weekly activities had moved online. As lockdown measured eased, we were able to hold socially distanced meetings adhering to government restrictions and adapting as further easing was implemented. This year, we ran two Alpha courses followed by a Freedom in Christ course. 

We continue to invest in various sorts of educational training of our staff and members. Two of our volunteers began the second year of the 2-year long leadership training course LEAD, and the SHEPHERD training course has been continued by one of our elders. 

Jon Beardon is employed full-time as an elder, bringing oversight and leadership to all areas of our work for 2 days per week. Contributions are given by Relational Mission for 2 days per week for his role as coordinator, and 1 day per week for his leadership of the Relational Mission Community. 

Since September 2021, Phil Eggleton is employed as a pastor-elder for two days a week. Phil continues to strengthen the church’s links with the local community through his work. With the rising needs surrounding mental health, Phil has worked closely with Wellspring Family Centre’s Well-come project ensuring a close link between this project and the work of the church. 

Since September 2021, Peter Collinson is employed as eldership team leader. Part of this work included oversight of Sunday meetings, and as part of this work he has introduced a new two-meeting format whereby an earlier service aimed at families took place at 9:30am, and a more familiar style service took place at 11:00am. 

The church has been active in wider mission in Norfolk and North Suffolk and also in Europe. This is possible through the work of Jon Beardon continues bringing leadership to the other Relational Mission churches who are in his ‘Relational Mission Community’. Local churches who have joined in with the ‘20/20’ mission to Norfolk and North Suffolk are aiming to reach twenty more places in the next twenty years whilst simultaneously caring for the existing ten. As one of these churches we are taking a lead in starting new churches in Watton and Fakenham where a number of our members live. 

The Community also includes churches in Serbia and the Czech Republic. As a local church we have focused energy, money and volunteer time given to support for these our network partners. We have worked with partners to raise another £12,750.44 for the Covid related emergency food aid amongst Roma families, distributed using our local partners in Serbia. 

In November 2021 we successfully hosted a conference ‘From Everywhere to Everywhere’, the third such conference, encouraging and inspiring members and leaders of churches to excel in pursuing our calling and mission. 

This year, we have hosted a young person from Serbia as part of the gap year ID course. He has been serving the Church is a variety of ways; including supporting our youth work ministry, assisting the work of the Well-come project, and supporting our international mission efforts. 

Our second charitable object is largely met through our partnership with Wellspring Family Centre charity. We have continued to make our premises available for this, although initially in a limited capacity due to lockdown and social distancing measures. As lockdown eased and we were able to host more groups, we have worked hard to monitor and adapt to infection levels and government guidelines. We continue to encourage church members to lead and support this work, contacting and hosting local children, youth, and people with mental health problems and other long- term conditions. 

We have continued to provide the local distribution centre for the Mid-Norfolk Foodbank, the demand for which sadly continues to grow. We would like to express our thanks to the dozens of volunteers from amongst the church members, as well as the support we receive from other church groups in the Dereham area, and the partnership with other Relational Mission churches across East Anglia with which we have close friendship.

## **THE WELLSPRING FAMILY CHURCH-DEREHAM (COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) DIRECTORS' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022** 

The Trustees continue to keep under review the various risks which may affect the operation of the Church, and to work with Wellspring Centre on specific areas of risk which affect their joint activities. The Trustees continue to regularly review and update policies and risk assessments. 

In planning our activities, the Trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on 'Public Benefit'. The Trustees have complied with the duty in Section 4 of the Charities Act 2006 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission in December 2008. 

## **Financial Overview** 

Between 1st April 2021 and 31st March 2022, the overall income was £208,932 and the expenditure was £156,753. The surplus of £52,179 will be added to our reserves. We recognise that a large portion of our reserves (£58,364) is restricted funds we are holding for other parties as part of our intermediary work for international mission, funds for the purchase of a building, and events. We are encouraged by an increase in regular giving within the church despite the pandemic, and we continue to review the churches finance regularly. 

Where there are specific capital expenditure foreseen amounts are set aside into designated funds so the general reserves are available to meet the costs of normal running and expansion of the Church and to ensure the Church can meet the commitments that have been entered into. This includes our role as an employer. 

The level of general reserves is not set as a specific formula, but are anticipated to be between one and three months of the level of fixed expenditure over committed income. 

The Church has continued to see growth in numbers attending and continues to raise its profile with and to serve the local community and beyond through the various examples mentioned above. 

## **Grant Making Policy** 

Gifts to external organisations and individuals are considered by the Trustees on the basis of need and fulfilment of the charitable objectives. There are no upper or lower limits. 

## **Risk Statement** 

The Trustees continue to review the major strategic, business and operational risks which the charity faces to ensure that these risks are minimised or properly managed. All major insurable risks are subject to normal church and employers’ insurances. Contractual risks are reviewed before being entered into to assess that they could not significantly impact upon the church’s ability to fulfil its objectives.

## **THE WELLSPRING FAMILY CHURCH-DEREHAM (COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

The principal accounting policies are summarised below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year. 

## **Basis of preparation:** 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes. 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 (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP  - FRS102) and the Charities Act 2011. 

The Charity 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. 

## **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. 

## **Recognition of Incoming Resources** 

These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when: 

- the charity becomes entitled to the resources; 

- the trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and 

- the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

## **Incoming Resources with Related expenditure** 

Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the SOFA. 

## **Grants and Donations** 

Grants and donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources. 

## **Tax Reclaims on Donations and Gifts** 

Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the SOFA at the same time as the gift to which they relate. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Legal Status of the Charity** 

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and has no share capital. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. 

## **Gifts in Kind** 

Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity or the amount actually realised. Gifts in kind for sale or distribution are included in the accounts as gifts only when sold or distributed by the charity. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SOFA as income receivable. 

## **Volunteer Help** 

The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts and is described in the Directors' annual report if applicable. 

## **Donated Services and Facilities** 

These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material. The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received. 

## **Investment Income** 

This is included in the accounts when receivable. 

## **Investment Gains and Losses** 

This included any gain or loss on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.

The Directors actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining the free reserves stated combined with the annual review of the controls over key financial systems carried out on an annual basis will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions.

## **THE WELLSPRING FAMILY CHURCH-DEREHAM (COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022** 

Report to the trustees/ members of The Wellspring Family Church Dereham on the accounts for the year ended 31st March 2022. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 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 Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity 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 connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention 

1.    which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements: 

- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and 

- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 

have not been met; or 

2.    to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
