Objectives and activities

The Objectives of The Charity

The charity’s purposes, as set out in the objects contained in the company’s memorandum of association, are:

  1. The advancement of the Christian faith in accordance with the doctrine set out in the underwritten Fourth Schedule and the worship of God in the said county and elsewhere by any means whatsoever including (but not by way of limitation) the preaching and proclamation of the Christian gospel, the teaching of the Christian Doctrine and principles, the pastoral care of Christian people and the printing and distribution of the Bible and Christian literature including video, and audio recordings and by any other media which is, or may become, available.

  2. The relief of persons who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress or who are aged or sick.

  3. The advancement of education on the basis of Christian principles and, without prejudice, to the generality of the foregoing, the provision of such education in any educational establishment and, if the Trustees so decide, the provision of one or more charitable educational establishments for the general education of children and adults on the basis of such Christian principles.

2022 Vision, Values and Strategic Priorities

In 2022, the Strategic Leadership Team of KingsGate Community Church reaffirmed the vision, values, and strategic priorities of the Church as:

Vision: ‘Transforming Lives from our Neighbourhoods to the Nations by the Power of God’s Love’.

Values: Word, Spirit, Worship, Prayer, Fellowship, Discipleship, Mission, and Stewardship.

Strategic Priorities:

In 2022 we continued to focus on our core mission, which as a church is “TRANSFORMING LIVES from our neighbourhoods to the nations, by the power of God’s love”, and the call for us to be disciples and make disciples. Our priority is to disciple people in the four key priorities of a Transformed Life:

  1. Knowing God

  2. Finding Freedom

  3. Growing in Community

  4. Making a difference

2022 Activities:

The main activity continues to be teaching via Sunday services and Life Groups both online and in person whenever possible.

Finally, the Youth Advisory Council for multiracial inclusion, continues to see the voice of young people empowered in our commitment to racial inclusion. Through the work of the YAC, we completed our first annual youth survey to benchmark and assess our youth ministry provision with racial inclusion in mind.

2022 The Church We See Special Offering

In March 2022 we gave into ‘The Church We See’ Special offering. 60% of the offering raised allowed us to make a one-off payment on the mortgage of £193,229. 15% of the offering went into a Cambridge Building Fund, which is set aside to help finance a future building in Cambridge. 15% of the special offering will be put towards leadership development and other projects.

We additionally transferred 10% of this offering, into our Mission Fund. This helps to resource our Community Action projects, as well as resourcing our partnerships with overseas mission projects, as detailed above.

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

Financial review

Income

Total income, both restricted and unrestricted, of £4.05 million was received in 2022, an 8.2% increase from 2021 (£3.74 million in 2021). Trading income was £242,742 in 2022, a 617% from 2021 (£33,879 in 2021). Total income excluding trading income for 2022 was £3.81 million, a 6.0% increase on 2021 (£3.59 million in 2021, also excluding £116,866 of furlough income).

The charity’s main income stream is from tithes and offerings given by church members and regular attendees. In 2022, unrestricted tithes and offerings were £2,599,849 which was a 2.5% increase compared to 2021 (£2,536,053 in 2021). This included £558,940 of unrestricted offerings received by the Cambridge campus, a 3.0% increase compared to 2021 (£542,634 in 2021). It also included £87,126 of unrestricted offerings from our Leicester campus, a 10.5% decrease compared to 2021 (£97,307 in 2021).

Restricted offerings were £677,153, which was a 3.4% increase on 2021 (£652,136 in 2021).

Expenditure

Expenditure for the year totalled £3,508,624 (2021 £2,965,170) excluding commercial operations in the trading subsidiary.

During 2022, salaries (excluding salaries within the commercial operations) accounted for 47.8% of 2022 expenditure, £1.68 million, compared to 54.2% of 2021 expenditure (£1.61 million). The charity employs both ministry-based positions, such as pastors, children and youth workers and community action workers, as well as administration and management staff, all of which work under the overall direction of the Strategic Leadership Team.

Reserves Policy

It is the policy of the charity to work towards and then maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at a level which equates to approximately three months unrestricted expenditure excluding certain discretionary spend. This would provide sufficient funds to cover salaries and building running costs for three months. Unrestricted funds of the charity were £964k on 31[st] December 2022 (excluding interest in land & property). The current reserves level is £377k more than the minimum reserves required.

The need for the charity to hold significant reserves is generated by the employment of 57 full and part time permanent employees along with building running costs of the KingsGate Peterborough building.

It is the charity’s policy to monitor growth and income statistics carefully and if income were to continue to fall significantly, take immediate measures to minimise risk.

Risk Management

The trustees has assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

Future Plans

In 2023 we will be continuing to focus on our core mission, which as a church is “TRANSFORMING LIVES from our neighbourhoods to the nations, by the power of God’s love” with an emphasis on being RADICAL DISCIPLES who:

  1. Keep on ENCOUNTERING Jesus (Knowing God)

  2. Keep on FOLLOWING Jesus (Living in Freedom)

  3. Keep on GROWING together in Jesus (Growing in Community)

  4. Keep on MISSION with Jesus (Making a difference)

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

The trustees, who are also the directors of Kingsgate Community Church for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' 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 affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity 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 charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

KINGSGATE COMMUNITY CHURCH

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES OF KINGSGATE COMMUNITY CHURCH

Opinion

We have audited the accounts of Kingsgate Community Church (the ‘charity’) and it's subsidiary for the year ended 31 December 2022 which comprise the Group Statement of Financial Activities, the Group and Parent Charitable Company Balance Sheets, the Group and Parent Charitable Company Cash Flow Statements and the notes to the accounts, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:

KINGSGATE COMMUNITY CHURCH

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF KINGSGATE COMMUNITY CHURCH

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and Parent charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Directors’ Report included within the Trustees' Report.

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the trustees' report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the statement of trustees' responsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose 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 charity’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.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https:// www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

KINGSGATE COMMUNITY CHURCH

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED) TO THE TRUSTEES OF KINGSGATE COMMUNITY CHURCH

Extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above and on the Financial Reporting Council’s website, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud.

We obtain and update our understanding of the entity, its activities, its control environment, and likely future developments, including in relation to the legal and regulatory framework applicable and how the entity is complying with that framework. Based on this understanding, we identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. This includes consideration of the risk of acts by the entity that were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud.

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, including fraud, we designed procedures which included:

Because of 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. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

KINGSGATE COMMUNITY CHURCH

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Kingsgate Community Church is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 2 Staplee Way, Parnwell, Peterborough, PE1 4YT, United Kingdom.

1.1 Accounting convention

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 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 (FRS 102)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2019). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Group financial statements

The financial statements consolidate the results of the charitable company and its subsidiary undertaking KingsGate Trading Limited on a line-by line basis. Intra-group sales and profits are eliminated fully on consolidation. A separate Statement of Financial Activities and Income and Expenditure Account for the charity has not been presented because the charity has taken advantage of the exemption afforded by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006.

1.3 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.4 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

Designated funds - these are funds set aside by the trustees out of unrestricted general funds for specific future purposes or projects.

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

1.5 Income

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Donated facilities and donated professional services are recognised in income at their fair value when their economic benefit is probable, it can be measured reliably and the charity has control over the item. Fair value is determined on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity. For example the amount the charity would be willing to pay in the open market for such facilities and services. A corresponding amount is recognised in expenditure.

No amount is included in the financial statements for volunteer time in line with the SORP (FRS 102). The charity benefits from many voluntary hours and unclaimed out-of-pocket expenses contributed by a number of supporters. The charity is extremely grateful for all these gifts in kind.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

The charity receives grants in respect of its activities. Income from grants are recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred.

Income from trading activities is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred.

Investment income is accounted for in the period in which the charity is entitled to receipt.

1.6 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Expenditure is recognised where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. It is categorised under the following headings:

Irrecoverable VAT is charged as an expense against the activity for which expenditure arose.

Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs and other administrative costs. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to cost of raising funds and expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with use of the resources.

1.7 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

All assets costing more than £250 are capitalised. No depreciation is provided on freehold land.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Freehold buildings 1% p.a. straight line Office equipment 25% p.a. reducing balance Computer equipment 25% p.a. straight line

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

1.8 Fixed asset investments

A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the charity. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less impairment.

1.9 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.10 Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing stock to its present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the first in, first out formula. Provision is made for damaged, obsolete and slow-moving stock where appropriate.

1.11 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

1.12 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.13 Taxation

The charity is an exempt charity within the meaning of schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011 and is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes.

1.14 Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the charity has a legal or constructive present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that the charity will be required to settle that obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting end date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount expected to be required to settle the obligation is recognised at present value. When a provision is measured at present value, the unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in net income/(expenditure) in the period in which it arises.

1.15 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.16 Leases

Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged as an expense on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

A gift aided donation of £3,144 (2021 - £nil) was also received from KingsGate Trading Limited. Included within debtors is £47,108 (2021 - £26,719) due from KingsGate Trading Limited.

Donations of £90,220 (2021 - £61,122) were received during the year from eight Trustees (2021 - six Trustees). No conditions were attached to these donations.

During the prior year the charity had an arrangement with a third party to create videos based on a book authored by D Smith, a trustee. Many churches and individuals benefitted from the videos, as did KingsGate. The creation of the videos promoted books sales and therefore may have impacted on royalties earned by D Smith, but it is not possible to quantify the effect. A proportion of royalties from the book earned by D Smith will be gifted back to the project and the church will receive an equal share of any surplus generated from video sales over and above costs incurred.
