CATFORD COMMUNITY CHURCH A charity (1103390) and a company (05039733) limited by guarantee
TRUSTEES' REPORT for the year ended 31 December 2021
The Trustees present their annual report together with the Financial Statements of the company for the 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2021. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) as amended by Update Bulletin 1 (effective 1 January 2015).
Since the company qualifies as small under section 383, the strategic report required of medium and large companies under The Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Director's Report) Regulations 2013 is not required.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
a. Policies and objectives
The principal object of the charity is to promote and advance the Christian Faith throughout the world generally including the worship of God, the introduction and edification of Christians, the care and the Christian instruction of young people and children and the evangelisation of nonChristians.
b. Activities for achieving objectives and to further the charity's purpose of Public Benefit
The principal activities of the charity include the provision of religious services and public community events that are open to all.
Before the COVID lockdown, Sunday services took place at The Calabash Centre and community outreach took place at “The Point”. Services were open to all and were advertised by a notice in the street.
The Calabash Centre was closed at the beginning of the national lockdown in response to the COVID pandemic and is still closed for refurbishment. Throughout lockdown services continued online which inevitably made them less accessible to the general public. However members living abroad were able to attend. Since the easing of lockdown restrictions, and while the refurbishment of the Calabash Centre continues, religious services have resumed at St Luke’s Church in Downham. This is the closest facility to our
2
catchment area that we could find, but it is 1 1/2 miles away. We hope to meet at The Calabash Centre, which is 100 yards from The Point, when The Calabash Centre re-opens later in 2022.
Before lockdown public community events mostly took place at the Point. These activities were advertised by notice visible to the public through a shop window. They include English classes which are especially for refugees, a toddler group known as Play Point for local residents, and a walk-in facility called Connection Point which provides cake and conversation to passers by including those in obvious need. There is also a knitting group for local residents. When the church is not using The Point, it is let to other local groups whose activities are of similar public benefit; these include refugee groups and NHS groups.
At the height of the lockdown most of these activities were closed, but The Point was used by local residents to distribute food to NHS workers from the local hospital. The charity managed this use and ensured that government guidance was followed.
The One Way School in Harare which was set up by two members of the church gives a Christian education to children in Zimbabwe. The church continues to support this school, although no funds were sent there in 2021.
Pastoral support is offered on an individual basis to church members and through small groups that meet in members houses or online.
Two households in the church foster and adopt vulnerable children including the leader of the church, who is a member of the Council’s committee for overseeing fostering and adoption.
In the above paragraphs the directors have paid regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit, in deciding what activities the charity should undertake and, in particular, the special guidance for those charities that have been set up for the advancement of religion.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
a. Key financial performance indicators
At the end of 2021 total funds were £55,655, compared to £44,433, at the end of 2020.
During the year income reduced by £9,935, to £82,131, and expenditure decreased by £3,083, to £70,939. As a result, the surplus for the year was
3
£11,192 and the charity's net assets increased by this amount to £55,655. The main reason for the reduction in income was the high level of giving at the 2020 gift days. Regular giving remained constant.
The COVID 19 pandemic had no significant effect on our overall financial performance. Although collections ceased following lockdown and income from letting The Point also ceased for the same reason, these two losses were balanced by equivalent savings from being unable to rent the space where the church usually meets on Sundays. Total giving was hardly affected by COVID
b. Review of activities
For the first 3 months of 2021 the church’s activities continued online as in the report for 2020. Thereafter in 2021 normal activities were gradually reintroduced
Food distribution
“The Point” which was closed due to COVID restrictions, was made available for the the distribution of food to NHS health workers at the local hospital. This was organised by a former member of the church together with other local volunteers. Food was donated by local shops and distributed to NHS workers by volunteers. The church managed this activity and put in place Health and Safety policies which followed government guidance as these developed. This service was closed in March 2021
Community services. Our usual Community services at “The Point” were closed for the duration of lockdown in 2020 following government guidelines. The English classes continued online until June 2021. We kept in touch with the mother and toddler group by phone, by home visits at Christmas and by meeting in a park when this was allowed.The walk-in community outreach, Connection Point, which had been started just before the pandemic was reopened on April 14 2021. English Classes were continued online and then by face to face contact from September 2021. Playpoint met during lockdown in the park when this was possible and then at The Point from September 13th 2021.
Sunday morning services continued online using Zoom until September 2021. Some aspects of the services were more difficult online, especially active involvement in worship, but others, such as teaching, continued unchanged while the use of break out groups enabled more participation than in a typical service. The online context also enabled people on holiday to
4
attend, and one church member was able to participate regularly from Trinidad.
Church weekend at Ashburnham. The church met in person for a weekend away from September 10 to 13 2021.
Sunday afternoon services were held at St Lukes Church Downham from September 26th.
House groups continued to meet online as did the weekly prayer meeting, a and a knitting group. A face to face men’s breakfast resumed on April 17 and a similar group for women started from July 3.
Overseas workers
One Way School in Harare, Zimbabwe was built and established under the leadership of Greg and Sophie Sangwine who are both school teachers and members of the church. They are supporting the school remotely and Sophie made a pastoral visit in 2021.
We continue to support the iNet trust which supports overseas workers from the Transform Network of churches of which we are part. Members of the church contributed to the annual conference for overseas workers, which this year was conducted remotely in 2021.
Leadership of the church
Ian Butcher leads the church with a team of five others, who are appointed in conjunction with the church membership.
Ian has been in post for 7years and so is eligible for sabbatical leave. Ian will take 3 months of sabbatical leave in 2022 and use much of that time to complete the thesis for his MA. The church has supported Ian on a postgraduate course at Redcliffe College from which Ian will soon have met the requirements for the award of an MA in Contemporary Missiology.
The church provides Ian with a pension under the Government’s Automatic Enrolment scheme.
The New Wine conference, which groups from the church usually attend in the summer, was cancelled during the pandemic, and has not resumed except online.
Links with other churches. We value our ongoing local relationships with Transform Network, a network of local churches mainly in Lewisham
5
Borough. We are also a member of a wider network of churches which support oversees workers and our support of One Way School in Harare continues as part of that network. We are also members of the Lewisham Inter-Faith Forum which promotes local community and organises an annual Inter-Faith Peace Walk.
Rental of “The Point” . The Point is a small shop front space on Lewisham High Street from which most of our community services are given. The space we use is fit for purpose but the building as a whole is in a poor state of repair. We have not been able to find an alternative site, and having obtained legal advice, we have negotiated a reduced liability for our share of liability for repairs from 60% to 40% and we accepted an increased lease. The break point in the lease is August 19th 2021 and the lease will need to be renewed or terminated 6 months before August 19th 2024.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
- a. Going concern. After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the immediate future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the Accounting Policies.
b. Investment policy and performance
The company does not invest monies in shares but places surplus funds in deposit or money market accounts to earn interest prior to its being withdrawn for use within the company's activities.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
a. Constitution
The company is a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Memorandum of Association on 10 February 2004 . During July 2012, a constitution was adopted, with a view to making church leadership more transparent.
The company is constituted under a Memorandum of Association dated 10 February 2004 and is a registered charity number 1103390.
b. Method of appointment or election of Trustees
The management of the charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the governing document being the Articles of Association.
6
The minimum number of members of the Board of Directors shall be three. At each Annual General meeting one third of the Board shall retire, those who retire will have held the office of trustee the longest.
c. Organisational structure and decision making
The Board meets regularly to discuss the Companies's affairs. The Board will, on occasions, ask various people to attend the meetings to discuss certain aspects of the charity requiring specialist knowledge. The church leader attends all meetings of the Board.
d. Risk management
The Trustees continue to assess the major risks to which the Charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the church, and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place at present to mitigate our exposure to the major risks as best they are able to. One significant risk arises from the poor state of the building in which The Point is located and the Charities’s responsibility for a share of any repair costs. That is why we have negotiated a reduction of our contribution to repair costs as described above.
Another risk that we have previously identified, arises from the fact that a large proportion of our giving comes from a small group of households. One family left the church in 2022 and a second will do so in 2023 and the net loss of income will be £14,000. We are increasing our efforts to lease The Point to users whose activities meet our charitable objectives, and by the end of 2022 we expect to have increased our income from such subletting by at least £5,000 pa. We are trying to raise an additional £10,000 in 2023, but if we are not able to do that, we could hold our religious services at The Point.
We keep a relatively large financial reserve of at least £40,000 in view of the above risks. At the moment the charity holds reserves of £55,655.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
a. Future developments
The charity plans to continue all of its core activities.
The Point
The charity will continue to hold language classes for refugees, the play group for young children, the walk in morning for any local resident and the knitting group.
7
The charity will continue to let the Point for activities that are compatible with its charitable objectives. These include homework classes for immigrant groups, groups run by the Refugee Council and the NHS. Excellent working relationships with these and similar groups have been resumed following the easing of lockdown restrictions and discussions with users are taking place about the expansion of these activities.
The Calabash Centre
The Calabash Centre is expected to re-open in the near future and they know of our interest in resuming Sunday morning services there. No rental rates have been mentioned and we will aim to avoid a large increase in rent by reducing the time that we use the building each week. If we are not able to afford the new rent we will try to hold Sunday services at The Point.
One Way School Harare
Greg Sanguine will make a pastoral visit to the school in 2022.
EMPLOYEE INVOLVEMENT AND EMPLOYMENT OF THE DISABLED
Employees have been consulted on issues of concern to them and have been kept informed on specific issues directly by the Trustees. The company carries out exit interviews for all staff leaving the organisation and had adopted a procedure of upward feedback for senior management and the Trustees.
The Company has reviewed its Health and Safety Policy and Child Protection Policy. Full details of these are available at the company’s offices. The company has introduced an Equal Opportunities policy as well as a Volunteer’s policy. The company has long established fair employment practices in the recruitment, retention and training of disabled staff.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES UNDER COMPANY LAW
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for
8
the financial year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed,
subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is
inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
APPROVAL
This report, which has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies, was approved by the trustees and signed on their behalf by:

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

CATFORD COMMUNITY CHURCH
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 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.
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"), with the Companies Act 2006 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 (who are the charitable company's directors for the purposes of company law) 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 how Covid-19 might affect projections.
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 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) 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.
Income from charitable activities represents income receivable from goods, services and facilities supplied in furtherance of the charity's charitable objects. It includes income from church retreats and other events and courses.
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
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.
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.
13
CATFORD COMMUNITY CHURCH
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
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.
f) 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 £500 and the item is expected to benefit the charity over more than one accounting period. Depreciation is charged on a reducing balance 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 33%
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.
i) Leased assets
- Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the charity are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term (unless another systematic basis is more representative of use).
j) 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.
k) Taxation
-
The company is a registered charity; it has taken advantage of the various reliefs from taxation available to charities and no tax is payable on the charity's income.
-
l) Financial instruments The charity's financial assets and financial liabilities all qualify as basic financial instruments, as defined by FRS102. Except for loans, creditors and debtors are measured at their expected settlement value (normally the amount of cash that the charity expects to pay or receive). The charity recognises liabilities for the principal of those loans that remains outstanding at the year end (i.e. the liabilities exclude any interest chargeable on the loans in future years).
n) Exemption from preparing a cashflow statement
The charity has taken advantage of an exemption conferred by the Charities SORP and has not prepared a cash flow statement.
- o) 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.
