TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
The trustees are pleased to present their report, together with the unaudited financial statements of the charitable company (the charity) for the year ended 30 September 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of The Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities’ (FRS 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 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.
Trustees of the Charity
The directors of the charitable company are its trustees for the purposes of charity law. Details of the trustees who have served during the year and since the year end can be found on page 5.
OBJECTS AND ACTIVITIES
Christchurch Durham is an evangelical church, based in the centre of Durham, which serves a breadth of age groups and nationalities including senior citizens, families, young adults and students. The principal objective of the church is the advancement of the Christian faith. As such, we undertake a variety of weekly and monthly activities with a Christian focus, including:
Two Sunday services during the morning and evening Children’s Church and crèche during the Sunday morning meeting Introductory Christianity Explored courses for the student ministry Mums and Toddlers group Friday evening Youth group for 11-18 year olds Mid-week groups across Durham, providing Bible study and pastoral support All-congregation monthly prayer meetings and weekly student prayer meetings A Ministry Training Scheme for people considering full-time Christian work Christian ministry training for students Breakfast meetings to build men’s and women’s fellowship Weekend retreat and fellowship for the families’ congregation
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The charity carries out a range of activities in pursuance of its charitable aims. The trustees consider that these activities, as summarised below, provide benefit to both the church and the wider communities served by the church.
Families
The family congregation currently includes around 110 adults, plus around 60 children who attend Children’s Church and around 10 who attend crèche. In addition, guests and visitors attend throughout the year. A dedicated family minister ensures support and pastoral care for this ministry. Whilst we have been legally allowed to open during lockdown, we have conducted a hybrid service with a restricted capacity in the building and the rest of our church family joining on Zoom.
Children
In lockdown, we ran Kidzone, a separate Zoom meeting for children of all ages which happened during the sermon. To supplement this, from Autumn 2020 we launched children’s groups in the church building on Sunday afternoons, with four separate groups for 3-11 year olds. These groups continued until Easter 2021. We also held two Children’s Services on Sunday afternoons in March 2020.
From Easter 2021, Kidzone was held in the building, with parents having to accompany their children, and from September 2021, we were able to relaunch children’s groups as they were run pre-pandemic.
The Mums and Toddlers group ( Sticky Fingers ) has been running for 14 years, with attendance regularly around 10 children plus 10 adults. Sticky Fingers meets on a Wednesday morning in the Vane Tempest Hall. We will be reviewing how we might continue this ministry after June 2022.

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (Continued)
Youth
Our youth ministry is targeted across the 11-18 year old age group. At the beginning of the year, this group met on Zoom with around eight regular attendees. As lockdown restrictions eased in April 2021, the group began to meet in person again, for a meal, bible study, and games. The change to meeting in person slightly changed the make-up of the group, and there were seven attendees in the summer term.
This group was overseen by our full-time Assistant Minister who is supported in the running of each group by one of our Ministry Associates on the MTS scheme.
Students
Around 200 Durham University students continue to attend our Sunday evening meeting set up specifically to meet the needs of students. During lockdown, the meetings have been running as a hybrid gathering with some in the Christchurch building and the remainder gathering on Zoom. The mid-week Bible study course for students continues in the same location. During lockdown, this ran primarily on Zoom with around 245 students signed up to groups. In addition to this we held a second part of this Bible study evening in the church building with formal instruction in Christian teaching, with some joining on zoom. Regular welcome suppers provide opportunities for new students to join in.
The number of international students attending our church this past year has been around 10 in an average week. We run a regular meeting for international students, Corners. Leaders also organise regular trips, walks and meals in their homes.
Hosting
The ‘ Adopt a Student ’ initiative continues to be appreciated by students and families. Approximately 100 students are linked with a particular family or individual within the congregation and enjoy meals together throughout the year.
Women
We have a dedicated Women’s minister who addresses the pastoral and fellowship needs of women in the area. Around 20 women with their children attend Women’s Bible Study while others attended various breakfast meetings and seminars.
Men
From January through to June 2021, a book group of around 15 men met every other week to equip them to live as Christians in the current culture.
Career Opportunities
We were able to offer five places on our Ministry Training programme, including three new Associates and two Associates continuing from last year. This training programme is for those graduates considering full-time Christian work. In September 2021 the scheme continued with four new associates joining and with two having left.
Training
Our staff and volunteers have again attended various training programmes in the areas of Fire Safety, First Aid and Food Hygiene, to ensure that our professionalism in this area is current.
In order to promote, co-ordinate and manage these activities the church has significant support and administrative costs.
The trustees regularly review the objects and activities of the charity and, as part of this review, they have considered the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and, in particular, its supplementary guidance on the advancement of religion for the public benefit.
Zoom Church Plants
A new opportunity which arose due to church being on Zoom was to plant churches in other parts of the country. Two groups of people, one from Guernsey and one from St Helen’s, got in touch with us about a desire to plant a church by gathering a group to view our Zoom services. Both churches were started due to dissatisfaction at the lack of evangelical churches in the area.

TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS’ REPORT) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE (Continued)
Coronavirus (COVID-19)
In March 2020, along with the rest of the country, Christchurch Durham had to close all physical meetings and gatherings. We sought, where possible, to run most of our ministries and groups online using Zoom. This included Sunday Services, groups for International Students, Groups for those investigating the Christian Faith, Sticky Fingers, mid-week small group Bible Studies, Student Bible Study groups, youth groups and prayer meetings. During this time, we were joined by people for many of our events from all over the country and the world. From September 2021, we have resumed church activities as they were pre-pandemic, the main difference being that we have retained putting our 10am service on Zoom for those who have been unable to return to the building.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
In terms of our income and expenditure, we had net incoming resources for the financial year of £7,040 (2020: net incoming resources of £6,142) over unrestricted funds. There was no restricted income and expenditure in the year under review or the previous year. When adjusted for this year’s non-cash depreciation of £4,836 (2020: £6,030), the revenue account for the general running of the church reflected a cash surplus of £11,876 (2020: cash surplus of £12,172).
The Balance Sheet at 30 September 2021 reflects total net assets of £2,096,690 (30.9.20: £2,089,650) all of which represents unrestricted funds.
The trustees remain confident as regards the ongoing financing of the church’s commitments over the medium and longerterm future.
Investment Policy
The charity’s surplus funds continue to be invested on current and deposit accounts with The Co-operative Bank.
Reserves Policy
Throughout the year under review, and in previous years, cash flow has remained positive despite the usual ‘peaks and troughs’ throughout the course of each year. Historically, it has been the intention of the trustees to endeavour to achieve and maintain cash-backed unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at the greater of £100,000 or three months’ gross expenditure within those unrestricted funds. Reserves remained considerably below this level at the beginning and end of the year under review and the trustees are reconsidering their minimum reserves policy for the current and future accounting periods, whilst continuing to pursue a surplus of cash income over expenditure in order to replenish bank and cash reserves.
Risk Management
The trustees have always given due care and attention to the risks the church faces and administer the charity’s finances and assets in a way that identifies and manages risk.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
Christchurch Claypath Durham will again run a Ministry Training Scheme and hopes to offer volunteer opportunities to three people in September 2022.
The recent Coronavirus pandemic has had a significant impact on the operations of the church and as such many plans for future periods have been put on hold whilst the trustees await further government guidance on lockdown and social distancing rules. In line with the government’s roadmap for unlocking the country, plans have been put in place for unlocking the various ministries of Christchurch Durham. Many of our midweek groups are now meeting in person and following COVIDsecure guidance and our larger meetings are currently operating as hybrid meetings with some joining in person and some joining online. We will continue to monitor Government Covid advice and be prepared to offer meetings on Zoom or physically as we did last year.

As the charity 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’).

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 in England and Wales (ICAEW), 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 that in any material respect:

-
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).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
1. CHARITY INFORMATION
The charity (registered number 1104981) is a public benefit entity incorporated in the UK on 25 June 2004 as a company limited by guarantee. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements. The charity’s principal activity is the advancement of the Christian faith.
2. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Basis of Preparation and Assessment of Going Concern
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention and in accordance with applicable accounting standards, 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) issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act 2006. The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties around the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Incoming Resources
Income received by way of grants and donations is included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably, and it is probable that the income will be received.
Income is recorded as being from church members (collections/regular giving) or from supporters who are not regular attendees of the church in Durham (gifts and donations).
Where donors specify that grants and donations are for particular restricted purposes, the income is included in incoming resources as restricted funds.
Where donors specify that income must be applied in a future period, the income is deferred until those periods.
(b) Resources Expended
Resources expended are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis, inclusive of VAT.
Any expenditure which is for a specific purpose is shown against the restricted fund for that purpose. All other expenditure is deemed to be for the general purposes of the charity and is recorded against general unrestricted funds.
Individual costs are allocated between the various headings in the Statement of Financial Activities by reference to the underlying nature or reason for which those costs were incurred.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021
3. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
(c) Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets belonging to Christchurch Claypath Durham are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates so as to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of fixed assets over their expected useful lives:
Freehold land - nil * Freehold buildings - see below * Office furniture and equipment - 25% reducing balance
- The charity’s policy is to depreciate the freehold building element of its freehold property down to an estimated residual value over 50 years. Following impairment reviews (and related provisions) of the initial property in the year to 30 September 2013 and of the subsequently acquired adjacent property (32 Claypath, Durham) in the year to 30 September 2016, the trustees agreed a combined carrying value of £2,140,000 on first time adoption of FRS 102, comprising £140,000 for freehold land and £2million for freehold buildings.
It is the trustees’ ongoing policy to maintain the freehold properties in a good state of repair such that estimated residual value is at least equal to book value. In the opinion of the trustees, any depreciable amount in relation to the freehold buildings is therefore immaterial and hence, subject to an annual review for any evidence of impairment, no depreciation is being provided on freehold property at this time.
(d) Pension Costs
Contributions, which are payable into a group personal pension and individual personal pension schemes, are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
(e) Operating Leases
Rentals applicable to operating leases, where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor, are charged against revenue on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.
(f) Stock
Stock is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after taking into account slow moving items using the first-in/first-out basis.
(g) Debtors and Creditors receivable/payable within one year
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.
(h) Loans and Borrowings
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the transaction price including transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment.
