## _**Hemel Hempstead Community Church Trustees’ Report for the year ended 31[st] March 2022**_ 

The trustees present their Report and Accounts for the year ended 31[st] March 2022. 

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity’s Trust Deed, applicable law and the requirements of The Charities Statement of Recommended Practice, ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities’, issued October 2019. The trustees also have due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission on public benefit. 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

Hemel Hempstead Community Church (HHCC) is a company limited by guarantee. 

## **Trustees** 

The trustees who served during the year were: 

Mr D J Young Mr C J Bennett Mr R J Tate Mr J A Noble Mr O N Cooper - resigned 5[th] December 2021 Mr R Winski 

Trustees are appointed and removed by the Board of Trustees as outlined in the charity’s Articles of Association.  Trustees are recruited from the established church membership to provide the wide range of expertise required to properly govern the charity’s activities. 

The current size of the trustee group has been found to be sufficient to serve the charity’s present needs.  The charity makes use of published material from the Charity Commission and other sources to inform trustees about their responsibilities and assist them with their work. 

## **Management** 

Responsibility for HHCC’s leadership falls broadly into two areas: legal, financial, health and safety, and other similar aspects that are mainly the responsibility of the trustees, and spiritual and pastoral matters and activities that are overseen by the Leadership Team. 

The day-to-day management of HHCC’s normal activities is undertaken by the Lead Pastors and other Leaders, who meet informally on a regular basis. Members heading up various aspects of HHCC’s ministry report directly to the Lead Pastors. 

## **Harvest Alliance UK** 

HHCC is an active member of Harvest Alliance UK, which is itself part of Harvest Alliance’s global family of churches and ministries.

_**Hemel Hempstead Community Church Trustees’ Report for the year ended 31[st] March 2022**_ 

## **Covid-19 Pandemic** 

During the reporting period, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, all normal in-person church meetings continued to be suspended until government restrictions were lifted in July 2021. During this time HHCC’s main Sunday service continued successfully via a live broadcast over Facebook, with all other meetings being conducted via Zoom or similar media. 

In August 2021, HHCC’s in person Sunday morning meetings resumed, initially in the open air in Gadebridge Park before moving back to Hemel Hempstead Seventh Day Adventist Church’s building in September. At the same time other church activities and meetings, such as mid-week groups and pastoral appointments, started to move from being online to in person. The prayer meetings that had been introduced successfully online during the pandemic continued on a bi-weekly basis, via Zoom. It has taken time for some people to regain the confidence to return to meeting in-person so live broadcasting of the Sunday morning service was maintained for the time being and this also enabled people joining our service from further afield to continue to do so. 

Prior to the pandemic the HHCC office was located within a shared office space at Liberty Tea Rooms and Community Hub (LTR&CH) in Hemel Hempstead town centre. Although LTR&CH was able to re-open in August 2021, Christians Against Poverty (CAP) and other services operating from the office required more space, so HHCC’s employed staff continued to work from home and this became a permanent arrangement. 

While meeting in-person continued to be restricted due to government measures, giving to the church was largely maintained through regular online payments directly into HHCC’s bank account. This method of giving has continued following the lifting of restrictions and is now the preferred way of giving for most church members. Despite all the challenges of the last couple of years, giving remained remarkably consistent and generous. 

Support and contact were maintained with churches and ministries in our local community and overseas in India, Nepal and Kenya, with whom we have an ongoing relationship. Although normal overseas travel was not possible for most of the reporting period, regular communications were maintained via video calls and update reports. 

Normal meetings of the Harvest Alliance UK network also continued online and the Lead Pastors and Administration Team continued to maintain active engagement and support. Following the lifting of government restrictions, a Harvest Alliance Leaders Gathering was held in Retford, in September 2021, which was followed by an open conference at the end of March 2022. A regular programme of UK Leaders Zoom meetings along with other National and Global Zoom meetings continued throughout the reporting year and provided an invaluable source of encouragement and resource.

## **Objectives and Activities** 

## **1. Advancing the Christian Faith** 

HHCC is a family of believers who seek to demonstrate the transforming love of Jesus Christ through word and action in Hemel Hempstead, the UK, and through its connections around the world. The main focus of the church’s work is directed towards achieving this objective. During the year the main activities of the church continued to be adapted due to the pandemic and consisted of the following: 

- Sunday Morning Service – conducted online via Facebook and in-person, comprising worship, bible-based teaching, prayer and communion. 

- Life Groups – small groups meeting online and in-person during the week where members support and encourage one another and grow in faith. These groups include worship, prayer and bible study. 

- Men’s Group – meeting online and in person. Affiliated to Christian Vision for Men and providing leadership and support for a men’s meeting on Monday nights attended by HHCC members and others from different churches and the wider community. 

- Prayer – regular prayer guide and focus with online prayer meetings via Zoom. 

- Coffee Lounge – online meeting for encouragement and support following the Sunday morning service until August 2021. 

- Gifts – HHCC made gifts from both general funds and special offerings in support of other charities and individuals in the United Kingdom and overseas. This included a grant to New Horizons Christian Fellowship (NHCF) towards the cost of building a combined church and residential bible school in Damak, Nepal and supporting the salaries of the NHCF pastors in India and Nepal. 

## **2. The Relief of Poverty** 

- HHCC continued to support the Debt Centre and other services operated by CAP in Hemel Hempstead by LTR&CH. David Young (Lead Pastor) was an active member of LTR&CH’s CAP Church Partnership Team.

- HHCC and members gifted funds to support families affected by the war in Ukraine. 

- HHCC gifted funds to NHCF India towards the cost of establishing a dairy farm as a new business enterprise in Chittoor.

## **4. Provision of Community Facilities** 

No activity reported during this year. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

A summary of achievements is as follows: 

- The main Sunday morning service successfully continued online before returning to in-person meetings in August 2021. 

- A Coffee Lounge Zoom meeting following the Sunday morning service continued to be run until the return to in-person meetings. 

- A weekly Prayer Zoom meeting provided a place for corporate prayer for the church although this reverted to bi-weekly from September 2021. 

- A weekly Prayer Guide was published providing spiritual direction and encouragement along with a focus for prayer for the church family. This reverted to a monthly prayer guide and focus from September 2021. 

- HHCC’s office space at LTR&CH was closed due to the pandemic until August 2021 and consequently all employed staff continued to work from home and this subsequently became a permanent arrangement. 

- David Young completed his ‘Love Hemel’ Prayer Walk on the 15th December 2021. The Prayer Walk covered every street in Hemel Hempstead and used “The Lord’s Prayer” as a template to pray for the healing and recovery of the community from the effects of the pandemic and was featured in the Hemel Hempstead Gazette in December. In March 2022 another ‘Love Hemel’ Prayer Walk was launched to facilitate prayer in every street in Hemel Hempstead. 41 people from 10 different churches joined together to saturate the town in prayer in the two weeks leading up to Easter. 

- HHCC continued its association with Samaritan’s Purse (www.samaritans-purse.org.uk) and, as a result of the dedication and commitment of a church member over a number of months, 38 shoeboxes were filled with toys, hygiene items and school supplies, and despatched for ‘Operation Christmas Child’. Some church members alternatively used the online service (set up during the pandemic) to donate towards shoeboxes. 

- HHCC continued to support the work of Dacorum Street Pastors, Charity No. 1179935, with three church members serving as Street Pastors on weekend patrols in Hemel Hempstead town centre as Covid-19 regulations permitted. 

- David Young attended a monthly meeting of local church leaders facilitated by Churches Together in Hemel Hempstead. 

- HHCC Leaders Derek and Penny Oliver continued to develop the work of Route 61 (International) (Route 61), Charity No. 1189501 (www.route61.net), in Kenya with children in the juvenile justice system and their families. HHCC Leaders David Young, Derek Oliver and Sarah Bennett served as trustees of Route 61, and HHCC provided regular financial support. 

- HHCC continued to provide administrative support to Harvest Alliance UK (HAUK), Charity No. 1123185. David Young served as a trustee of HAUK, he and Caroline Young served on the UK Core Team, and David Shaw served as treasurer.

## _**Hemel Hempstead Community Church Trustees’ Report for the year ended 31[st] March 2022**_ 

- HHCC continued to provide financial support to LTR&CH, Charity No. 1077335, which successfully reopened in August 2021 following the lifting of the government’s pandemic restrictions. David Young and Owen Cooper served as trustees of both HHCC and LTR&CH until December 2021. 

- HHCC continued its practical support and involvement in delivering CAP’s services through LTR&CH. The work of the Debt Centre providing support to local people with unmanageable debt continued via online meetings throughout the period LTR&CH was closed during the pandemic until in-person meetings resumed in August 2021. One church member served as a Debt Coach, two others were involved in running CAP Money (budgeting and financial management) courses, and others as CAP client befrienders. HHCC hosted a CAP Sunday Service on the 17[th] October 2021 to highlight and celebrate the charity’s work nationally and within the local community. 

- Caroline Young and another church member served as trustees of Cornergate Foundation, Charity No. 11652641, which works with prisoners and ex-offenders helping them rehabilitate and resettle after prison. A financial gift was made to support this valuable ongoing work in the community. 

- A new series of online media content entitled “In the limelight” was launched comprising interviews with charities and ministries with which HHCC has a relationship. The aim of these videos is to provide a more in-depth insight into what the work of the organisation looks like on the ground, and in November 2021 began with an interview with Kim Hobbs, CEO of Cornergate Foundation. 

- HHCC continued to provide regular financial support to NHCF in Vellore, India. This finance was used to fund the ongoing education and other needs of three young people under NHCF’s Wonder Kids programme and the employment of a teacher at the Parivarthan (Transformation) School, situated in Company Village, Chittoor, as well as the provision of school books and supplies. The support also assisted with funding the monthly salary of the church pastors. Support continued to be provided for a Dairy Farm Enterprise project. Due to the pandemic and extreme local weather conditions, the progress of the Dairy Farm groundwork and construction was delayed but it was anticipated that this start-up enterprise was should be in operation by the end of summer 2022. 

- HHCC supported NHCF in Damak, Nepal by assisting with funding for the pastor’s monthly salary. This ensured the continued growth, pastoral and spiritual support for the church membership, and the spread of the Christian Gospel in the wider area. Support was also provided to support the construction of a new church building for that will also become the home of the Ezra Bible School, a 3-month residential Christian Leadership Training programme. 

- HHCC provided pastoral and spiritual support to John Noble who continued his long association with Heart for Kids (www.heartforkids.org). Covid travel restrictions meant that volunteer teams to China were suspended but John participated in online calls with volunteers, organisation leaders and in-country staff, and co-hosted online monthly prayer meetings with supporters in Europe and South Africa. 

- John Noble served as a trustee of Chinese Church Support Ministries, Charity No. 327709. 

- HHCC successfully launched a new website, www.hhcc.org.uk/, in February 2022 that incorporated a branding refresh and integration with existing social media platforms.

## _**Hemel Hempstead Community Church Trustees’ Report for the year ended 31[st] March 2022**_ 

## **Grant Making Policy** 

HHCC makes grants to other charities and individuals that are working to achieve the same objectives, namely making Jesus Christ known. These grants may be gifts to speakers, often partly funded by special offerings taken for this purpose and supplemented from general funds. Many grants are made to other charities working both in the United Kingdom and abroad with similar aims to the church and a policy has been established of making regular grants of income received by the church. 

Additionally, grants are made to organisations within Hemel Hempstead that work with children, young people, the homeless and other needy groups. As part of HHCC’s mission to share the love of Jesus Christ in our local community, grants are made to needy people, both members and contacts from outside the church family. Significant grants are made after the trustees have agreed on the amount and recipients. They may be made in response to a specific appeal or need of which HHCC’s Leadership Team or members have become aware. 

## **Financial Review** 

## **Income and Expenditure** 

For the year ended 31[st] March 2022 total income was £171,270, which was £19,892 higher than the previous year. Expenditure was £145,027, which was an increase of £17,991 on the previous year. This resulted in a net surplus of £26,243, which was £1,901 better than the previous year. 

The trustees continue to monitor expenditure to maintain costs in line with general income. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The charity’s reserves policy is that unrestricted funds (funds that have not been designated for a specific use) should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three- and six-months’ expenditure. The trustees consider that maintaining reserves at this level would ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, the charity would be able to continue its current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds might be raised or expenditure reduced. The trustees continued to pay close attention to the level of reserves, with a view to these being maintained within the levels outlined. 

## **Asset Cover** 

Note 16 to the accounts sets out an analysis of the net assets attributable to the various funds and a description of the trusts. These assets are sufficient to meet the charity’s obligations on a fund-by-fund basis.

## _**Hemel Hempstead Community Church Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities**_ 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. 

Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year that give a true and fair view of the charity’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. 

In preparing accounts giving a true and fair view, the trustees should follow best practice and: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently 

- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent 

- State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the accounts 

- Prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation 

The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ascertain the financial position of the charity and which enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the provisions of the Trust Deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
