Trustee's Report for theyearended 31 March 2024
INTRODUCTION
The Trustees and directors of Hull Vineyard Trust (the 'Charity') present their annual report
together with inspected financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2024. The trustees
have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice ISORP) 'Accounting
and Reporting by Charities, IFRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of
the charity.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out
in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting
by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities in accordance with the
Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland published on the 16th
July 2014 (as amended by Update Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016).
When planning the activities for the year, the Trustees have considered the Charity Commission
guidance on the public benefit, and in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the
advancement of religion to provide public benefit.
VISIONANDOBJECTSOFTHECHARITY
The vision of the Hull Vineyard Trust is to worship God, extend His Kingdom, build the Church
and welcome our city and beyond home. This is achieved through its ministries which are
outlined below, we are always looking to develop and expand these to outwork out vision and
aims. The ministries we have fall into the following categories, which align with our aims and the
object of the charity which are outlined below.
Sunday Services
Multiplication of groups and sites around the region
Compassion and Community Ministries such as Foodbank, Growbaby, Debt and Money
Advice, Parent and Child group and Warm Spaces for the homeless and vulnerable
housed
Children, Youth and Young Adults
Pastoral Care of our attendees
Training and Development through meetings, conferences and discipleship programmes
Much of this work is done in our church building to ensure that we maximise the use of this
facility and is undertaken by a large voluntary workforce who have themselves experienced
God's help and wisdom and want to offer practical help to others in need using their individual
skills.
The principle objects of the Charity, as outlined in our memorandum and articles, are as follows:
Advancement of the Christian faith.
Relief of the needs of the people in the City of Hull and East Yorkshire.
Furtherance of religious and secular public education including the provision of life skills.
In support of these objects the Church receives gifts and donations by its attendees and
supporters and many of these are given by way of Gift Aid and so are further enhanced by a tax
reclaim.
In the execution, the objects of the Church are expressed in specific and practical ways
described below and as such, the application of its resources are similarly displayed in the
financial statements.

Trustee's Report (continued) for the year ended 31 Mareh 2024
RISKMANAGEMENT
We have a formal risk management process to assess business and operational risks and
implement risk management strategies in order to minimise the effects of these. This involves
identifying major strategic, operational and financial risks to which the Church (charity) is
exposed, prioritising them in terms of impact and likelihood of occurrence. Systems have been
established to minimise such risks. The action plans are reviewed at least annually, in order to
identify new risks and review existing strategies. Usually when new projects are undertaken
during the year a risk analysis will be done prior to commencement. One permanent member of
staff has risk assessment as part of their job responsibilities.
ACTIVITIESANDACHIEVEMENTSFOR THEPERIOD
When planning the activities for the year, the Trustees have complied with the duty in section 4
of the Charities Act 2006 to refer to the Public Benefit guidance published by the Charities
Commission, and in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion
to provide pastoral care, training, work with the local community and our compassion ministries.
We are always looking for ways to develop our ministries to better reach and serve the people
that interact with us during the year, these are not just members of our church but anyone
across the region and beyond.
Below we have outlined how we have applied our resources to reach the objects of the charity
as well as the areas we have expanded into as a church.
In the execution, the objects of the Church are expressed in specific and practical ways
described below and as such, the application of its resources are similarly displayed in the
financial statements.
SUNDAYSERVICES
We meet on a Sunday morning and evening during term time, as well as our West Villages site
meeting once a month at Hull lonians. Each morning services we run Vineyard Kids and Youth,
which is available for 1-18 years, more details are found below. The services in their ethos will
always have elements of teaching and training in them where-by people can apply Christian truth
to their lives.
Our congregation has continued to grow and has increased by 60 % over the last financial year,
from an average of 330 to 530 on a Sunday. As a result in February 2024 we launched an
additional morning service-, welcoming new people every week who are integrating into the life of
the Church and calling Hull Vineyard their spiritual home. We continue to live stream on our
Sunday morning services.
We have also during this year dedicated 13 children and 20 people baptised, as well as hosted
weddings and funerals.
COMMUNITY ANDCOMPASSIONMINISTRIES
Here we seek to touch the community with both God's love and kindness, we do this in a number
of ways both weekly and as one offs throughout the year. The need we see continues to be
high, and this continues to be reflected in those accessing our services.
Alongside people coming directly to us we work with 20 agencies in the local area who refer
people to us for food parcels, debt advice and baby food and equipment. We have also worked
alongside other churches in the area supporting the needs of their local communities where we
are able to, for example, by providing food.

(Charity Regislralion No. 11027821 Icompany Reglslration No. 50396181
Trustee's Report (continued) for thoyear ended 31 March 2024
We have found our current building is not large or suitable enough. Therefore, we have
considered our next steps to better serve the community. As such we have launched the Hope
Project, this will be an additional building on our current site which will house our current
compassion initiatives and provide room to grow. We will be able to expand our current
ministries and develop into new ones. This will be a two storey building with a retail unit for our
foodbank and growbaby., as well as a café, meeting rooms, large storage spaces. A planning
application has been granted, by Hull City Council, in September 2024. We have raised an initial
amount from the churches congregation of £463,914, bank funding and grant bodies will be
providing the remaining monies.
Foodbank - We distribute a number of food parcels each week, we have seen a huge increase
during the last year food parce15, Wlth this increasing. We gave out approximately 3500 food
parcels in 2023/24 to food parcels for both family and individuals. Each food parcel is enough
for 3 full meals for 3 days. We have worked with several schools during the year giving food
parcels to them to distribute, as needs arises. Additional Food Hampers and gifts were given at
Christmas and Easter. We also came alongside the students of Hull University with acts of
kindness through free giveaways. We have an ongoing program for supporting the elderly in local
Care Homes by arranging to send letters and cards for the elderly.
Growbaby- We provide quality clothes and baby equipment to those in need. We continue to
help many people, with 750 families supported in the last year.
Community Money Advice (CMAI continues to see people throughout the year to help with debt
advice and budgeting. We have seen a number of referrals from those receiving food parcels to
CMA, which continues to show the need and benefit of offerings a number of different ministries
which interlink. Helping 45 people with over £280,000 worth of debt.
We run 'The Table, weekly, a time for those that are homeless or vulnerably housed to come for
a 3-course meal and have time together as a community of people. We continue to develop
friendships and provide support as we can, which has meant they have linked up with our other
projects including food parcels, debt support and Growbaby.
Our Warm Spaces have developed over this last year. We are open on Thursday for people to
come and receive a free meal, we have a regular group of people attending and through this
several people have accessed the additional services we offer. On a Wednesday we extended
the warm space to be a family café running after Stay and Play our group for under 5s and their
caregivers. This has been hugely successful, and we regularly see 25-30 people staying for
lunch.
Summer Fun Day ran during June, we had over 1300 people from the local community come for
a day of fun at our Church site. We had bouncy castles, face painting, hair braiding, crafts, food
stalls and free pack lunches for every child that came. The local fire station brought their fire
engine and the police a police car. It was a great time of fun and building connections with those
in our community.
Bonfire Night saw us run a Fireworks event for the local community, this was a sellout event with
over 3000 people coming to see the fireworks and bonfire. We also invited locally based food
tracks to come and trade throughout the event.

Trustee's Report (contlnued) for theyear ended 31 March 2024
Christmas time saw us run a number of events. We hosted and co-lead a carol service at Hull
City Hall for the whole City, we had two services attended by over 2000 people. Our Christmas
Family Services at our building were great events attended by 100s of people and included live
reindeerl We also use Christmas as a time to bless, over and above, those that are in need and
as such we put on a Christmas Lunch for the agencies we work with through the foodbank and
those they support. We had over 70 people attend for a 3-course lunch with entertainmentl We
also had a Christmas lunch and party for women we work with who are particularly vulnerable.
CHILDREN, YOUTHANDYOUNG ADULTS
Throughout the year we have continued to run groups during our Sunday morning services, they
run for 1-18 year-olds, broken down into age ranges with relevant activities for those age groups.
We have over 200 children and young people attending our groups, and this has grown over the
last year. We use 95 volunteers, across the month, on a Sunday to run the groups
We also have a Stay and Play group which meets weekly during term time. This is a group for
parents/guardians with their under 5s to come along to have community together on a
Wednesday morning, we have 80 people attending each week. This is a time of community, and
several of the families stay for lunch at our Family Café afterwards.
We launched our family café in September, this is a café after our Stay and Play group on a
Wednesday. It provides healthy and nutritious lunches for parents and the children as well as
space to play. It has been successful with up to 25 people coming each week.
We have go young people aged 11-18 who meet on Friday evenings and Sunday morning. This is
run by a team of 13 and it provides a time of community and teaching for our young people. We
also offer a mentoring scheme for those over 16. Each summer we take a group of young people
to Dreaming the Impossible, a summer camp this runs over 5 days, it is a chance for these young
people to learn more about God, explore their faith and have fun!
We also run events for under 30's where they can have community together and build
relationships. This is mainly undertaken through social events such as bowling.
PASTORALCARE
We mainly operate this through small groups of about 10-20 people, which are headed up by a
trained leader, and in that smaller community of a weekly meeting, most needs would be taken
care of.
We also signpost individuals, couples and families to specialists should this be required such as
marriage support and mental health support.
We look to support people in practical ways when needed by providing meals for those who have
a new baby or have experienced a loss.
MID-WEEKGROUPSANDSITES
We have 14 mid-week groups, and they meet across the City and surrounding areas, there are
between 7-15 meeting in these groups. They study the bible together, worship God, support
each other and undertake activities in their local communities. Once a month groups in a similar
area meet together for a larger gathering. once a month for a larger gathering. Some of these

groups are geared to university students where we help them through their university years
helping them to have "a home" as well as training them for life and maximising the educational
opportunities.
We have an additional Sunday site meeting at Hull lonians once a month, this is a Sunday service
attended by people living in that locality and has between 35-40 attendees. We are looking at
other areas to expand have sites in, and this continues to be an important area of expansion for
us.
TRAININGANDDEVELOPMENT
As an organisation we are looking to train current and new volunteers as well as staff. This
training has included how to lead a group, leadership development, safeguarding children and
vulnerable adults and health and safety. We use several outside agencies to provide this training
either in person or online.
Members of the congregation and staff have also attended various conferences throughout the
year. These have included conferences for leadership development, 20-30's age group,
students and Dreaming the Impossible a conference for under 18s.
In October 2023 we ran an Alpha course, for people who want to explore the concept of faith.
We had 120 people attend the course, which lasted 7 weeks, for a meal and discussion. A
number of these people have become Christians and have become full members of the
congregation.
During the year an internship course ran with 14 participants, this was a time of monthly learning
together through an organised programme of learning, self-directed study and serving the
church using the individuals gifting. This was tailored to the individual but included admin, help
with our food bank, speaking on Sunday's, work in our children's ministry.
One of our priorities is to train people to plant new churches and multi-sites acros5 our region. A
number of individuals have started the training for this and structures are being put in place for
this. The York Vineyard church celebrated its 13th Anniversary during the year, the first church
planted out of Hull Vineyard. We have a continued relationships with a charity that is based in
Ukraine and have been supporting them during this uncertain time.
GIVINGOFGRANTS
As approved by the trustees, we give grants to those in need and to other charities whose
objects converge with ours. The details of the grants are in the financial section below to the
accounts.
FINANCESANDOTHERMATTERS
RESERVES
Having previously used up its reserves to move into the premises on Vulcan Street, the Church
has built up cash reserves in excess of £100,000 to cover the following eventualities:
To enable the Charity to continue relatively unaffected if there is a decline in income.
2. To allow the Charity to make decisions based on what is optimal for the long term rather
than be at the mercy of short-term cash flow restrictions.

3. Give sufficient funding to restructure the Charity in the event of a more permanent change in
circumstances.
This reserves policy is being kept under review to keep reserves appropriate to the size and
circumstances of the Charity. This policy enables the Trust to be appreciative of its going
concern obligations. The Trustees consider that as a general matter, considering
the Charity's size, ongoing liabilities and ability to raise funds, it is appropriate to maintain
reserves equivalent to 3 months, costs, being about £100,000.

charity and to be a place where people can find a home
Build the Hope Centre, a home of compassion for our city, so that we can expand and

The notes form parl ol these financial statements
l. Accounting Policies
Statement of compliance
The Hull Vineyard Trust is a company limited by guarantee and registered as a charity in
England/Wales. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 9
of these financial statements. The nature of the charity's operations and principal activities are
set out in the Report of the Trustees on pages 2- 10.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with 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, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland
(FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
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 April 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 is sufficient with the level of reserves for the
charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
b. Funds Accounting
All funds have been analysed into their different types, namely unrestricted funds, which are not
subject to any special restrictions, and they can be used as the Trustees decide. Restricted
funds are where the donor has imposed restrictions on how the fund may be used, but which do
not prevent the fund being spent. Endowment funds are where the capital may not be spent but
which allows income to be used. The Hull Vineyard has received no endowment funds.
Restricted grants for the purchase of fixed assets are taken to a capital reserve account and the
associated depreciation is charged to that account over the life of the asset.

c. Incoming Resources
Donations and tithes are credited to the financial statements as received. Tax refunds are not
taken until received, however, the amount receivable is calculated and noted in the accounts.
The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included in these accounts.
d. Resources Expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any
VAT, which cannot be recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
Charitable activities expenditure comprises of those costs incurred by the charity in the
delivery of its activities and service for beneficiaries. It includes costs of an indirect
nature necessary to support them. As noted in the Trustee's Report the principal objects
of the charity are advancement of the Christian Faith, Relief of the people in the City of
Hull and beyond, the sick and the elderly and the furtherance of religious and secular
public education including the provision of life skills. These are practically expressed
under the following activities:
Pastoral care.
Children, youth & young adults;
Outreach,.
Compassion,.
Training and life skills;
Worship services;
As such all expenditure is analysed under that basis.
Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and
statutory requirements of the charity and include independent Examination fees, and
costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
e. Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Fixed assets are capitalised if the expenditure is over £500 and have an expected economic life
of more than two years, except where the purchase is part of a larger project, which will amount
in total to over £500 and have a useful life of more than two years.
Depreciation is based on 500/0 on the year-end reducing balance except in the case of the
buildings, which are depreciated on a straight-line basis over 25 years. As no specific valuation
for land and buildings exists the Trustees deem for depreciation purposes the buildings to
represent 400/0 of the land and buildings initial gross cost. Freehold land is not depreciated.
f. Comparative Figures
All comparative figures are presented on a like for like basis.
g. Financial Instruments
The charity has adopted section 11 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments. Short term
debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Short term creditors are
measured at transaction price.
h. Investments
Investments are stated at market value. Investments in property are reviewed annually as at the
year end to determine fair market value. A view is taken as to the fair value of the investment.
Any gains or losses on investments are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities.
