## STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT 


**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>
|<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


## GOVERNING DOCUMENT 

The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 5 July 2002, merging together previous charities Riverside Ministries Trust (charity number 327647) and Riverside Fellowship Trust (charity number 1046841), The objects of Riverside Church Trust are defined in the Memorandum and Articles of Association and the Trustees ensure that the activities of the church remain in line with these at all times. 

## RECRUITMENT AND APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEES 

Trustees are appointed from the membership of the church following nomination and interview by members of the Board and the Senior Pastor, All trustees serve as Directors. 

## TRUSTEE INDUCTION AND TRAINING 

> Theresources Company Secretaryis responsible for the briefing and training of trustees, drawing on the from the Trust's solicitors, accountantsand other relevant organisations such as Charity Commission and the Evangelical Alliance. We keep abreast of developments in charity law and policy through several charity bulletins and seminars available for trustees, Significant. changes are worked through in detail, Trustees are provided with an induction pack giving an introduction to the legal requirements and responsibilities of trustees, anda comprehensive statement of the objects, values and beliefs of the church. They are introduced to the financial and management.arrangements of Riverside and supported in their role by the Chair and other Trustees. 

## ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE 

The Board of Trustees meet regularly throughout the year to provide support to the leadership team and oversee the direction of the church in keeping with the Objects, approve budgets, receive management accounts, and determine significant policy. The day-to-day activity of the church is managed by a Church Leadership Team acting within ‘teamresponsibilitiesand Trustees.delegated by the Trustees, Thereis regular liaison between members ofthe 

Page 5 of 22 



The Trustees are supported by a Finance and Risk Committee, which includes two Trustees, the Operations Director and other long-standing members of the church with appropriate experience and expertise. This team, acting within delegated responsibilities, reviews budgets, considers proposals for expenditure and makes recommendations to the Church. Leadership Team and Trustees. The majority of the work of Riverside Church Trust is carried out by a large and willing body of volunteers who are engaged in every area of the church's ministry, without whom most of the aims of Riverside Church could not be delivered as they are now. No appropriate value can be attributed to this contribution, which therefore is not included in the financial valuation of the Trust. irae lh neces gua eee tee tee <a gan eens RISK MANAGEMENT We are satisfied that we have systems in place to support giving, manage resourcesand hold an acceptable level of reserves. 

Trustees have established ‘Guardrails’ which provide early warning of financial exposure. They comprise minimum cash balances, together with limits on the proportion of income committed to staff costs. We also monitor levels of giving and other income. 

Our policy is that each year the Finance & Risk Committee review our Risk Register, which identifies the various risks to the church and considers the relative likelihood of those risks occurring. Where risks have increased, appropriate remedial action is initiated. 

Riverside has in place a Safeguarding Policy covering all of our activities with children and young people and vulnerable adults. This policy has been developed and is reviewed in line with legal requirements and current practice. Staff and volunteers receive appropriate training and information and are subject to all necessary checks, e.g, via the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS), The policy is reviewed annually by Trustees and updated as and when necessary. 

When employment legislation changes, our employment policies are reviewed, the changes are publicised to staff, and the staff handbook regularly updated. Given the nature of Riverside as a Christian church, we have a Christian Ethos Statement in place, 

As a Christian organisation, we aim to demonstrate the benefit we bring to our local and wider communities. Trustees have had due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission on public benefit. 

See RELATIONSHIPS TO OTHER ORGANISATIONS The church is a member of the Evangelical Alliance and has working relationships with local churches in Moseley, Kings Heath, Bournville and other parts of Birmingham and across the UK, 

We run a weekly youth club in conjunction with Church of the Ascension, Stirchley. The church supports a number of people working overseas, through prayer, financial and logistical support. This is often facilitated through regular funding to those people through the organisations who support them. Closer to home we provide support and supervision for a cross-cultural community worker employed by Interserve.

## HOW OUR ACTIVITIES DELIVER PUBLIC BENEFIT AND WHO HAS BENEFITED 

The year to August 2022 saw a huge shift in our church and staff as we were adjusting back to everyone coming back. Shifts included new roles that required to be filled and other staff taking on different roles as we changed some of our strategy and vision. We recruited a new operations director, house manager, events manager, a new children’s pastor and a new finance manager. 

i 

## WORSHIP AND PRAYER 

} 

The year was once again marked with the three days of prayer and fasting . 

Although we kept our online presence, we started seeing many people come back to our live services and prayer meetings. A vision cast which our senior pastor made in the summer of 2021 saw many people uniting and eager to partake in what God was doing at Riverside. We continued to give emphasis onlife groups, community groups and saw an increase to our youngof people groups too. Three new life groups started this year. We continuedto see a lot growth in the church and many still being reached by our online presence. With emphasis on prayer, there have been local community based prayer and prayer walks that many of our groups joined in. 

eee FELLOWSHIP AND PASTORAL CARE 

Over the last year, we have developed a central pastoral hub of champions and chaplains supporting people pastorally in multiple, wonderful ways both in church and across the community. 

We started volunteer chaplaincyto address the increased isolation.and loneliness in our community. Twelve wonderful volunteers have faithfully walked alongside people during the (Pandemic and beyond, Two people have now said that they might not still be alive today without their chaplain’s care. As part of our chaplains care, we provide; generational support such as “Breathe”,. “Lone Parenting”, “Champion for the elderly and youth zone” etc: We also provide emotional health services such as “Mental Health Support”, Red Flag pastors and Wellbeing Champion among others, And lastly we provide practical provision services such as Wednesday café, open lunches and many other services. 

Baptisms continued this year with 11 new baptisms. They were postponed for much of the year but we did manage to hold one baptismal service. We continued with our commitment to become a bereavement friendly church; we have continued running the Bereavement Journey course (Ataloss.org) regularly for the bereaved in our community. Children and families’ work has seen much growth and has flourished this year. Our stayand-play program runs two mornings a week with over 80 families on our books. We have kids life groups, and we are seeing huge growth in numbers, Sarah Thomson has joined this year as our new Children’s worker.

e 

Youth ministries continue to develop, led by John Goodliff and his team of volunteers. Many young people have given their lives to God, with 7 of them being baptised this year. About 45 youth come to the Friday night youth activities “Roc Solid and Miff’. The youth continue to enjoy a variety of activities and go away together to the Limitless festival, which has had much impact on their faith. 

Riverside Academy was running again this year and had 4 people join our team, 3 of them joining the performing arts track and one Joining the youth track. It has been wonderful to see them impacted by the ministries at Riverside, 

## MISSION

## FINANCIAL REVIEW 

Regular giving income has remained steady. The economic conditions, however, meant our expenditure was a bit higher than the previous year. With additional staff members, our staff costs are also higher. The staff costs, however, remain under the set guardrails that were put in place by the Riverside trustees. Overall,ouraccounts continue to look positive and healthy. We continue to operate sustainably with our regular expenditure covered by regular giving. 

## RESERVES POLICY 

—_ 

Our policy is to hold unrestricted cash reserves necessary to cover running costs for four months in the event of a. major variation of circumstances. Reserves are monitored quarterly as part of our management reporting. 

## FUNDING SOURCES 

i 

Riverside’s main funding source is through the kind donations of Riverside members who are part of our congregation, through standing order and direct debits and through our weekly offering within our services. 

We continue to apply for grants-to fund particular projects or initiatives and have been successful in securing such funds for Riverside Performing Arts and Riverside Money Advice. Where grant funds are unrestricted and expended, these are accounted for as part of our general fund.

(K) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 

TheSection charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments”and 12 “Other Financial Instruments Issues” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Page 14 of 22 



Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 

(L)BASICFINANCIALASSETS = ~~ Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. (M)BASICFINANCIALLIABILITIES ~~ Basic financial liabilities, including creditorsand bank loans are initially recognised at transactioninstrument price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt. ismeasured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
