DIRECTORS’ REPORT
The Directors (regarded as Trustees of the Charity) present their report and unaudited financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2021.
The financial statements comply with current statutory requirements and the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities, issued in March 2005. Redeemer Worthing Limited (previously known as Jubilee Community Church Limited) was incorporated on 12[th] February 2003 as a company limited by guarantee and registered as a charity on 14[th] March 2003. The charity’s name was officially changed to Redeemer Worthing Ltd on 27[th] April 2020 with the approval of Companies House and subsequently the Charity Commission.
From this point forward in this document, Redeemer Worthing, shall be referred to as ‘ the Church ’.
The Church met online during the first half of the financial year before it started to meet at the upper floor of the Guildbourne Centre (GBC) in the centre of Worthing retail district; initially with a limited congregations to meet UK government guidelines related to the global Covid-19 pandemic.
OUR PURPOSES, AIMS AND PUBLIC BENEFIT
The main areas of charitable activity of the Church are the advancement of the Christian faith and the provision of relief, education and assistance for persons in conditions of need, hardship or distress. In order to achieve this, the objects of the company are as follows:
-
to advance the Christian faith by such means as the Company shall determine
-
from time to time.
-
to relieve persons who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress as a result
-
of local or international disaster, or by reason of their social, medical or economic circumstances.
-
to educate and assist young persons through their leisure time activities so as
-
to develop their physical, mental and spiritual capacity, that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society, and that their conditions of life may be improved.
-
to advance education in family life, in marriage and family relationships, in
-
particular, but not exclusively, by the organisation of courses for the teaching of skills and parenthood.
-
to advance Christian religious education and training.
When planning our activities for the year, the Trustees and Members (church directional team) of the charity have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. The review of activities below reflects how we have implemented this through a range of activities, which we consider to be in line with both this guidance and our objectives.
REVIEW OF THE YEAR’S ACTIVITIES (2020-21)
Church Activities
The Church is continually looking for strategies to bring help not just to its members but also to the local town, the UK and internationally. This report reflects aspects of each of these three components. In each area of activity, the Trustees recognise, and are sincerely grateful for, the volunteers who contribute so much to all that happens in the life of the church.
Guildbourne Centre – New Home for Redeemer Worthing Limited
After 15 years of searching for a permanent meeting venue, the Church signed a long term lease on 13[th] September 2020 with the owners of the GBC in Worthing for the first floor of the
2
centre. The conversion works started in September 2020 and were completed to budget in May 2021. The conversion included a large meeting venue for the Church to gather, office space for the Church staff team, storage space for Foodbank and multi-use space.
In September 2020, a subletting company ‘The Rooms (Worthing) Ltd’ (Company number 11750254) was established to allow the Church to sublet the space to others when not in use by the church. The raising of funds will help contribute towards venue costs when not being used by the Church and as a mechanism to finance the furthering of the charity’s objectives. The subletting of rooms and space follows 2 approaches:
-
Co-working space for business people who need to work at an alternative
-
location to their home or office. A subscription is offered for those wishing to regularly use the space.
-
Hiring of rooms to businesses, community groups, charities, and other private
-
functions. There are multiple rooms of different sizes offering different facilities
Covid-19 Pandemic
The Covid-19 global pandemic impacted the activities of the church, like all businesses and charities in the UK. During the first half of this reporting period, the Church continued to meet virtually through the following various online means in accordance with UK government guidelines.
-
The church continued with online broadcasts (started March 2020)
-
Sunday morning recorded broadcasts on YouTube included Redeemer Kids
-
and Redeemer Online.
-
Community groups continued using video conference platforms such as Zoom.
-
Meetings of directors and members were also carried out similarly online.
The completion of the refurbishment of the GBC in spring 2021 correlated with the relaxing of UK government guidelines and therefore on June 23[rd] 2021, the Church was able to hold its first in person meeting since March 2020. Guidelines were followed through the wearing of masks, social distancing and restricted number in attendance. As and when the law has allowed, the church has met physically for small socially distanced groups at the GBC.
Giving
Over the year church members have given £508,930 including recovery of tax through Gift Aid.
This has been used both for the active ministries of the church and for gifts to other charitable causes both in the UK and internationally.
Church Family
All are welcome to attend our regular Sunday services and, since we have been able to physically meet again, we have seen an average attendance of 130 since 31st August 2021. Sunday service attendance has not returned to the situation prior to the first lockdown in March 2020, which is a shared story with other churches. However, we have been pleased to welcome a number of new people, some of whom have connected with us through online church, since we have started to gather on a Sunday in our new town centre venue at the GBC.
In addition to Sunday gatherings, church members meet midweek in small fellowship groups.
We also have ministries to a wide range of groups:
-
Alpha Course for those interested in learning more about the Christian Faith
-
including for the first time online Alpha courses
3
-
Marriage Preparation courses
-
Training in the spiritual gift of prophecy over Zoom for other churches in the UK
-
and overseas
Development of Leadership
The Directional Team of Redeemer established a new Eldership team for the church in July 2021 and this consisted of
-
Joel Tostevin
-
Rodney Haggar
-
Peter Saner
The team will look to add further Elders to this team during the next 24 months.
Starting March 2021, the church also benefited from a part time voluntary internship of Theo Walden.
Evangelism
Sharing the good news of the gospel is core to our life as a church. Through the Alpha Course, guest services and various other events, opportunity was made for many to hear the gospel. Some found a new faith and some were baptised.
Young People
We value highly the work with all our children on Sunday mornings, whatever their age. Fun activities based on biblical teaching for the younger children and regular teaching for our older children and teens take place. This includes:
-
Building Blocks – for ages 6 months to 2 years
-
Pathfinders – for ages 3 to Reception year.
-
Adventurers – for school years 1 - 3
-
Element – for school years 4 - 6
-
Origin – for school years 7 – 10
Redeemer Tots
This is for babies and pre-school children of church and non-church parents and started at the GBC in September 2021 and is already seen a number of visitors from the local community
College and Students
Foundry – for 15-18’s
Foundry youth group gives young people the opportunity to experience God, to build solid friendships in the process, and to discover God’s purpose for their lives. It also provides spiritual preparation for those who are going on to university. The group meets regularly midweek for social activities, worship, prayer and discussion.
Overseas Mission
We continued to be involved with the family of Regions Beyond churches around the world. We have continued to develop links with various churches and projects in Dubai, South Africa, India, Sierra Leone and the Philippines.
Local Mission
We have a target of planting 5 new churches over time within a one-hour drive of Worthing. These churches will be established with the help of the church but operate as autonomous, independent churches. The first of these local church plants was Trinity Church in the
4
neighbouring town of Littlehampton. Trinity was established in September 2018 with a team of 30 people mainly originating from the Church.
Worthing Foodbank
The church is proud to have started the Worthing Foodbank under the auspices of the Trussell Trust. On the announcement of national lockdown in March 2020 and the onset of business closures, the demand for Foodbank services increased significantly.
Since March 2020, there has been an increase in need to provide a delivery service to distribute food packages by using volunteer packers and drivers, rather than only providing the food through collection. Foodbank moved to the GBC in June 2021 and now the office, collection centre and short-term food storage are all located there.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Incoming Resources
Total incoming resources for the year increased from £439,589 in 2020 to £550,930 in 2021. Of this £216,421 including gift aid reclaim was raised for the Guildbourne Centre building project.
Resources Expenditure
Total resources expended for the year remained at a similar level to last year (£366,665 in 2020 to £366,386 in 2021). In addition, £876,242 was spent on fitting out the Church’s new home in the Guildbourne Centre, and has been capitalised in these accounts.
Funds and Balance Sheet
The movement in total funds for the year is a net increase of £184,544 reflecting the additional resources received to fund the expenditure on the building and fitting out costs to the Guildbourne Centre. At the year-end total funds held were £912,595 of which £767,796 are General funds being unrestricted and undesignated. This balance is in line with the Church’s reserves policy.
PLANS FOR THE COMING YEAR
The key objectives to be addressed during the coming year (2021-22) are:
-
to continue to communicate the Christian gospel in a way which is clear and
-
contextually relevant.
-
to continue to develop our work in the local community.
-
to continue to develop our links with work in overseas churches in South Africa,
-
Dubai, Mexico, India, Australia, Sierra Leone and the Philippines through video conferencing platforms.
-
Further developing budgeting and reporting processes with specific objectives
-
and plans over the longer term. This will include how the finances of the church are communicated to the wider church membership on an on-going basis.
GOVERNANCE AND DIRECTORS
Of the directors set out on page 1 the following changes occurred during the year ending 31 August 2021.
-
Matthew Sellens retired as Director and Chair of Trustees 19[th] July 2021
-
Stuart Britton appointed as Chair of Trustees 19[th] July 2021
-
Furthermore, Chris James and Steve Myerscough advised the team during the
-
directors meeting of 18[th] July 2021 that they were planning to resign as directors during the September 2021 meeting, leaving the Church with 3 remaining directors.
5
Although the charity memorandum states a minimum of 3, the team agreed to identify replacements in readiness for the September meeting - this was duly met.
The directors are regarded as the trustees of the charity for the purpose of the Charities Act 2011.
The board of directors, who meet four times a year, are responsible in law for implementing the strategic decisions and direction given by the Eldership/Directional Team of the Church. Directors are appointed by the Members at the Annual General Meeting. The Directors may also appoint a director to serve until the next Annual General Meeting, at which time he or she would cease to hold office but would be eligible for election.
The Directors monitor finance, risk management and internal control.
The directors delegate the running of the charity to the Eldership/Directional Team of the Church set out on page 1. The Eldership/Directional Team oversees the achievement of the objectives of the charity, day-to-day operational decisions and the co-ordination and direction of the church’s work. Progress is monitored regularly by the directors.
The directors are members of the church and bring experience and expertise in business, accounting, public sector and charity sector and law. Training is provided to board members as required.
Directors’ responsibilities
The directors (who are also Trustees of the Church) are responsible for preparing the Director’s Report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). Company Law requires the Directors (Trustees) to prepare Financial Statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for the year. In preparing these financial statements, the Directors are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to
-
any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is
-
inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The directors are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy, the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.
They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Internal control and risk management
The directors have overall responsibility for the Church’s system of internal control. Such a system can provide only reasonable and not absolute assurance against errors or frauds. There is a clear delegation of the directors’ authority through the Eldership/Directional Team to the rest of the charity.
The Church operates a planning and budgeting system with an annual budget approved by the board of directors. Significant changes are subject to specific approval. A financial reporting system compares results with the budget on a bi-monthly basis.
The directors are satisfied that systems are in place to monitor, manage and mitigate the Church’s exposure to major risks. They consider that maintaining the Church’s reserves at the policy levels and reviewing internal controls and risks will provide the Church with adequate risk assurance and sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. They also recognise that the nature of some of the Church’s work requires active acceptance and
6
management of some risks when undertaking activities to achieve the objectives of the charity.
RESERVES POLICY
The directors review the charity’s reserves policy regularly in the light of Charity Commission guidance. There are three categories of reserves held.
General funds are unrestricted and the charity’s policy is to maintain these at a level of between two to three months of regular church giving income.
Designated funds arise from the setting aside of some general giving against the identified need to maintain a fund with which to be able to assist members of the church who have a particular need.
Restricted funds arise where gifts are received for specific purposes. Expenditure is distributed in line with these requirements.
INVESTMENT AND TREASURY POLICY
In keeping with the reserves policy, funds are maintained to meet foreseeable recurring expenditure. It is not the charity’s general policy to commit to investments. During recent years with a view to the economic situation some investments have been made. No new investments have been made during the year to 31[st] August 2021.
EMPLOYEES
The work of Redeemer Worthing relies on the commitment and hard work of its valued staff. Communication links are maintained through team meetings and other channels. The full and part-time staff during the financial year 2020-21 were:
-
Rodney Haggar – Full time elder

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF
REDEEMER WORTHING LTD ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 August 2021 on pages 9 to 20 following, which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out on pages 12 to 13.
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 the Company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland, 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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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
-
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 ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021
1 Statutory Information
The charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee and is incorporated in the United Kingdom. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.
2 Accounting Policies
These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets, which are measured at fair value through the Statement of Financial Activities.
These 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 (FRS 102) ("the Charities SORP"), with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102") and with the Charities Act 2011. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as set out in FRS 102.
The principles adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.
a) Going concern
The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular the trustees have considered the charity's forecasts and projections and the possible implications should projected income and / or expenditure vary unexpectedly. The trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements. In making this assessment the trustees have considered the impact of Covid-19 and have concluded that its impact on net income will not be material.
b) Income
Income including investment income is recognised in the period in which the charity becomes entitled to receipt, the amount receivable can be measured with reasonable certainty, and receipt is probable. For the most part, income is generally recognised when it is received. Income is only deferred when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor has specified that the income is to be expended in a future period.
Income from donations and legacies includes:
-
i) Recoverable gift aid. This is recognised when the related donation is received. Gift aid that has not been recovered by the balance sheet date is included as a debtor.
-
ii) Donated facilities, services and goods. Goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries are recognised as income when receivable at fair value (being an estimate of the amount it would cost to purchase those items).
The charity relies on volunteers to carry out many of its activities. However, in accordance with the SORP, the value of these services has not been included in these financial statements as they cannot be reliably measured.
When donated goods, services and facilities are distributed or consumed, an expense in respect of those items is included in the Statement of Financial Activities. At the year end any goods that have not been distributed or consumed are recognised as stock; donated fixed assets are capitalised.
The charity has taken the view that it has only one charitable activity, namely the advancement of the Christian faith, and all income from donations, legacies and charitable activities is in respect of this one activity.
c) Expenditure Expenditure, including irrecoverable VAT, is recognised when it is incurred or, if earlier, when a legal or constructive obligation for a payment arises provided that it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
The charity makes grants to other institutions and individuals to further its charitable objectives. Grants payable are recognised as constructive obligations arise, which is generally when the charity expresses a commitment to the recipient that can be measured reliably and then only to the extent that any conditions associated with the grant are outside of the control of the charity.
The Charities SORP requires charities with income over £500,000 to allocate costs to the various activities undertaken by the charity. The nature of the work of the church is considered to be so integrated that the core charitable activity costs are considered to be for the one activity.
Governance costs, which are included in expenditure on charitable activities but are identified separately in the notes to the accounts, includes costs associated with the independent examination of the financial statements, compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements and any other expenditure incurred on the strategic management of the charity.

d) Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are donations which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors; they include donations received from appeals for specific activities or projects. The nature of the restriction determines whether the endowments represent permanent endowments or expendable endowments.
e) Tangible fixed assets
Items purchased or donated for the charity's own use are capitalised when the cost of purchased items, or the fair value of donated items, is more than £1,000 and the item is expected to benefit the charity over more than one accounting period. Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis so as to write down the value of each asset to its estimated residual value (if any) over its expected useful economic life. To achieve this objective the following rates of depreciation are charged:
Equipment Over 3 to 10 years Furniture 20 years Fit-Out costs 20 years
The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment in periods when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
f)
Investments
Fixed asset investments are held to generate income and for their investment potential. Investments are valued as follows:
i) Listed investments are valued at their market value (fair value) at the balance sheet date. ii) Unlisted investments are measured at cost less impairment where it becomes apparent that the amount that could be realised is less than cost.
Impairment losses and losses arising on the disposal of social investments are included in the Statement of Financial Activities under the heading 'Expenditure on charitable activities'. Gains arising on the disposal of social investments are included in the Statement of Financial Activities under the heading 'Other income'. All other gains and losses on investment assets are included in the Statement of Financial Activities under the heading 'Net gains / (losses) on investments'.
g) Stocks
Stocks of donated items held for distribution to beneficiaries are measured at fair value; stocks of goods donated for the charity's own use are valued at an estimate of their value to the charity.
h) Pension scheme arrangements
The charity operates defined contribution pension schemes for its employees. Obligations for contributions to these schemes are recognised as an expense when the liability arises. The assets of these schemes are held separately from those of the charity in independently administered funds.
i) Taxation
The charity has taken advantage of the various reliefs from taxation available to charities and no tax is payable on the charity's income.
j) Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement
The trustees do not consider that there are any material sources of estimation or uncertainty at the balance sheet date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities in the next reporting period.
