Vineyard Churches UK and Ireland Trustees’ Report For the year ended 31 December 2021
The Trustees submit herewith their Annual Report together with audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity. Tha financial statements have heen prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and 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 published in October 2019.
When planning the activities for the year, the Trustees have considered the Charity Commission guidance on the public benefit and the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion to provide public benefit.
-
1) Objectives and Activities The primary object of the company is the advancement of the Christian faith including missionary activities in the United Kingdom and overseas and the planting of new churches. Frorn these, five key objectives can be drawn: e to provide pastoral oversight » _ to provide training and resources to the members and associate members of Vineyard Churches UK and Ireland (thereafter VCUKI)
-
« to oversee the planting of new Vineyard congregations in the UK and Ireland e to support international missions.
We believe that these lead to the propagation of Christian beliefs, which bring hope and reason to those in need, spread ethical values to society as a whole, and contribute to social action.
-
a) Public benefit When planning the activities for the year, the Trustees have considered the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit, and in particuiar, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion to provide public benefit.
-
b) Summary of Objectives The Company is established to:
-
e Provide oversight to the senior pastors of existing churches and facilitate the planting of new churches. e Bring together churches who hold common values and practices. e Doall it can to help people become all that they can in Christ, by helping, serving and strengthening our churches. VCUK! believes this can only be achieved through the building and sustaining of strong relationships among the churches, based on love, openness and trust.
-
c) Values In Meeting aur Objectives, we adhere to five main values: « €xercising spiritual authority supported by minima! structural authority - our understanding is that authority resides in the spiritual and relational aspects of ministry as well as in the structure.
-
e _ Self-gaverning legally —- we want local churches to be free to express and govern themselves within the context of the values and theology of VCUKI.
-
e Relationships are key amongst leaders who like to be together and work together and are key to maintaining a highly trust-based movement.
-
e Minimal bureaucracy. - our organisation's structure is built on people who, for as long as possible, continue to remain as Senior Pastors. By maintaining a system where those in church government are also on the front line of pastoral ministry, we hope to avoid losing the vision in the process of carrying it out.
-
» Low profile - the role of VCUKI is to support and encourage pastors and leaders and to provide resources to the movement.

d) Strategies for achieving objectives The Company delivers its objectives through:
-
e Church Planting During the period of these accounts the number of Vineyard Churches stands at 127 (2020 ~— 126) with 20 (2020 — 23) satellite churches.

© Coaching The coaching initiative continued this year, the aim is for each new Church Planter and existing Senior Pastor to have a coach to aid and assist them in the journey of planting or running a church. We have a number of certified coaches as well as a number of people who are on the training programme. This allows the true empowerment of leaders to be all God has made them to be, whilst also building a healthy, dynamic, life-giving church culture and a healthy bafance between being and doing, a vital challenge, as we look after our leaders.
-
° Events For the furtherance of religious education of the wider Church, several national events were held throughout the year as follows:
-
a. Vineyard national Gathering (formerly NLC) in January. The event was held online with 12,674 on average during the evening sessions, and 3,004 for the morning sessions, a further 32,846 views of the whole conference after the event (2020 -— 1,484), teaching came from speakers such

-
e Pastoral Oversight The countries are grouped into Regions and Areas. There are 5 regions and 12 areas
-
» The primary work of the Movement is carried out through the local churches These are grouped together geographically into Areas, typically with 10-12 churches per area. Different activities have been carried out in different areas, but the main activities include: a. Relationships — encouraging networking, co-operation and encouragement amongst the church leaders within the area, investing time in Senior Pastors and worship leaders and looking at potential church planters and church growth.
-
b. Teaching and Training facilitated by area days, HUB training centres around the country, Trustee training days and the Nominated Trustee website.
-
c. Pastoral Support — Area Leaders spend time supporting Senior Pastors and this can include dealing with difficult local issues that arise as well as general mentoring where required.
-
e Each region has a cluster of churches grouped together by area. The pastoral support and care for those churches is facilitated by an Area Leader, Coach, Spiritual Director and Pastoral Mentors. These Area Leaders work together with their Regional Leader to provide leadership, vision and encouragement. The five Regional Leaders all report to the National Leadership Group which enables the national strategy and its local implementation to be disseminated quickly.

-
e) Trademarks Part of our role is to articulate what it means to be a local Vineyard Church and at the same time to protect the reputation of all Vineyard Churches. One way we do this is by registering the Vineyard name and associate devices as Trademarks and licensing these to accredited individuals who are planting churches.
-
f) Taskforces The Company delivers its identified priorities through taskforces — these include: e Church Planting — continues to be a high priority for the Vineyard Movement. Led by James Rankine from Cardiff Vineyard.
-
« International Missions — we estimate that half of the Vineyard Churches in the UK and Ireland are actively involved in supporting overseas mission. They support church planting efforts, ministry to the poor and advancing social justice to those around the world. This is led by Nick Sutton from Coventry Vineyard.
-
e Children — the purpose of this taskforce is to facilitate the on-going development of children’s ministry in the churches, the team meet to build relationships, facilitate regional networking and share resources. Sadly, Katie Wilson from Belfast City Vineyard stepped down trom running this ministry, a replacement is yet to found. We are grateful for her helpful contribution.
g) VCUKI Grant giving policy and philosophy Often, the primary work of the charity is carried out through some of our specific local churches, as they are commonly in direct contact with our target group. Additionally, they have existing skills and resources on which we may “piggyback”. Thus, by giving them grants, to cover their marginal costs for these tasks, we are able to fulfil our objects in a highly efficient and focussed manner without having to carry extra overhead. So, we make grants to them in the context of specific objectives and tasks which help us to achieve the charity's overall objectives, namely:
-
» to assist in pastoral oversight of individual churches by resourcing Area and Regional Leaders. e to assist in the training and resourcing of the member churches via means of theological training and other leadership training
-
» to assist in the planting of new churches within the UK and Ireland e _ to assist in the development of theological knowledge within the UK and internationally e to assist the global Vineyard Movement to train and equip leaders to advance the Christian faith through missions in the UK and overseas
-
it is further understood that on the receipt and expenditure of the grants these churches will, annually, account for the expenditure as well as describe the nature and details of the activities they have undertaken in helping us fulfil our objectives.
-
h) Vineyard Training This digital platform is used to train the movement. This platform brings together the best training in ministry specific modules for people to use whenever they need on any device. Partnering with the Vineyard Institute a number of modules have been created to aid theological education in the Vineyard, covering such topics as: Hermeneutics, The Story of the Kingdom, and The Pentateuch for example
-
i) Plans for the Future Highlights of the 2022 plan include « to setup a Leadership College to train and equip potential church leaders and senior Pastors, through a group of dedicated campuses.
-
e Church Planting and Church Development. » Relaunch Hub as Vineyard Essentials to equip leaders and potential leaders in their gifting, focusing on three main areas of leadership training: spiritual formation, hands-on experience for ministry and biblical training. Increase the number of churches running these programmes.

Vineyard Churches UK and Ireland Trustees’ Report (continued) For the year ended 31 December 2021
2) Financial Review
Trustees believe that the internal financial controls conform to guidelines issued by the Charity Commission.
The principal stream of income of the charity continues to consist of regular cantribiitions from focal Vineyard Churches. These are supplemented by one-off gifts to initiate new projects. During this period major grants were made totalling £260,824 (2020 - £214,191), a detailed breakdown is included in note 7 to the accounts. Total incoming resources for the period amounted to £1,450,931 (2020 - £1,324,449), all applied for genera! purposes, except for that given at various conferences and restricted to that offering. Total resources expended for the period amounted to £1,542,162 (2020 - £1,393,096).
Leaving reserves at the year-end of £966,879 (2020 - £1,058,1 10).
-
a) Reserves policy In fine with Charity Commission guidance, the Trustees have reviewed their policy on the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets (the free reserves) and find the charity should have:
-
e Operating Reserves equivalent to 4 months of core expenditure in the current year. At present the free liquid reserves are £292,022 which represents 4.0 months of expenditure at 2021 levels.
-
e Designated Funds — Fixed Assets, this represents resources in the charity's fixed assets. The fund is therefore not readily available for other purposes.
-
e Strategic Reserves are unrestricted funds over and above those needed for operating reserves and designated reserves to be used for strategic developments as identified by the Trustees for the five key strategies of the movement: Church health and growth, Developing tomorrow's leaders, Worship, Kingdom impact and Church planting.
Each of these has been running for the past three years and it is assumed that these are now part of the warp and weft of normal activities and are covered by income from the Vineyard Churches. However new initiatives may well come up and these will be paid for from Strategic reserves, currently £120,000 has been identified all to do with Church Planting and setting the new Leadership College training initiative.
b) Investment policy In the current investment climate, our policy has been to hold reserves on deposit at the highest rate of interest that can be earned safely and ethically.
The COVID-19 pandemic and the control measures that have been put in place towards the end of the first quarter of 2020 continue to impact the charity's plans for the future.
The charity is able to continue most of its day-to-day activities, by alternative means where necessary. Certain activities are currently on hold where alternative means are not feasible.
Whilst the values of the charity's assets have not been affected, future income streams may be. Given the charity's reserves position and its ability to flex future plans, the trustees have no immediate concerns over the charity's ability to continue operating as a going concern.

Systems have been established to mitigate those risks. The action plan is reviewed annually as required to ensure its validity. As part of this process, the Trustees have reviewed the risk to the reputation and image of VCUKI, and a comprehensive process has been established to mitigate the risks we face in this area.
The systems of internal control are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance against material misstatement or loss. They include:
-
a) An annual budget approved by the Trustees. b) Regular consideration by the Trustees of financial reports. c) Delegation of authority and segregation of duties. d) Identification and management of risks.

Vineyard Churches UK and Ireland Independent Auditors’ Report To the trustees and members of Vineyard Churches UK and Ireland

Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 10 and 11, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditor under section 44(1)(c) of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and under the Companies Act 2006 and report in accordance with regulations made under those Acts.
14
Vineyard Churches UK and Ireland Independent Auditors’ Report To the trustees and members of Vineyard Churches UK and Ireland
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but fs not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
The extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the charitable company, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation, data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation. An understanding of these laws and regulations and the extent of compliance was obtained through discussion with management and inspecting legal and regulatory correspondence
We assessed the susceptibility of the charitable company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by making enquiries of management and considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
-
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: - performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships. - tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions. - assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and
-
- investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were nat limited to: - agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation. - reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance. - enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and - reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators and the charitable company's legal advisors.
Due to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission, or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following the 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 issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 Apri! 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £1.
The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure are sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity io be able to continue as a going concern.

1.3 Incoming resources All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
Income received by way of donations and gifts is included in the Statement of Financial Activities on a receipts basis. Tax recoverable on gift aid donations is recognised in the same period as the gift to which it relates. Investment income is included when receivable. Income from charitable activities is recognised when the activity occurs.
