## **TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING DIRECTORS' REPORT)**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**
The trustees, who are the charity's directors for the purposes of company law, have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts for the year.
## **Objects of the charity**
The charity is a charitable company and is governed by its memorandum and articles of association. The objects of the charity, as set out in the governing document are:
a) to advance the Christian faith
b) to relieve persons in need or hardship or distress (be it due to poverty, age or sickness)
c) to advance Christian education
in Wokingham, elsewhere in the United Kingdom and the world.
To help fulfil the above objectives, the charity operates a church, and through the church, seeks to demonstrate the Christian faith in action. Currently this includes support for:
- Crowthorne Foodbank (part of the Trussell Trust network)
- Zoe Zambia (improving the lives of children and poverty-stricken farmers in the villages of Eastern Zambia)
- Kids Matter & Babies Matter (parenting programmes)
- Growbaby
## **Summary of the charity's main activities and achievements**
In planning the activities the Directors have applied the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.
To further the above objects and vision, the charity's main activities and achievements were as follows:
## Church Services
We meet at Edgbarrow School on Sunday mornings. Attending church services, as well as getting connected by serving on a team and joining a mid-week group is a normal part of life within Wokingham Vineyard Church.
We started the year by broadcasting our services from Edgbarrow School, with a small team of people on site. Over the summer we moved our church services outside and were able to gather as a church community in a safe environment. It was wonderful to see each other in person again and connect with each other. We came together at the end of the summer to enjoy a hog roast and some extended time together.
We continued to broadcast the service throughout the summer and beyond. When the autumn term started, we began meeting inside the school building as a community for the first time in about 18 months. We had hoped that our Christmas services would go ahead as planned, however we reverted to prerecording our Christmas eve and Christmas day services at the last moment due to the increased rise in covid cases. We continue to welcome many new faces to the church.
## Youth work
Our youth work is for those in school years 6–11; we have had an amazing team of youth leaders working with our young people and building relationships over the past year. Recognising the importance of in person gatherings for young people, and as restrictions eased, we started the year running our youth group outside with socially distanced activities. In the autumn term we were able to do some mid-week social activities giving the young people a chance to reconnect. We have re commenced Sunday morning youth work; however, attendance has been limited.

## Kids work
Our kid’s work is for children up to the age of 11; which includes crafts, worship and bible stories and a big dose of fun. We started the year pre-recording kids church before moving to Zoom. The children really enjoyed being able to interact with each other which encouraged us to start hosting kids church once a month on a Sunday afternoon in person, outside. By the summer the children were enjoying kids church every week on Sunday mornings. We started with just a handful of children, but we have seen numbers increase as families have started coming back to church and new families have joined us.
As we are now broadcasting the church service, this has enabled us to set up a live stream link into our creche which is for children under 2 and their parents. The Big Nativity is often a highlight of the year, and once again, covid changed the format of the nativity. The children rehearsed and recorded the nativity on Sunday mornings ahead of the main event which combined pre-recorded material with live narrators.
## Emergency Compassion Assistance
Compassion has been and will continue to be a major focus of Wokingham Vineyard. Emergency Compassion Assistance enables those within the Wokingham Vineyard community to make a request for assistance. Reasons for needing emergency assistance may include medical emergencies, job loss, or severe family crisis. Once a request for assistance has been made, our Service Navigator will seek to understand the situation and assess the needs of the individual or family. A plan will be put in place to address the needs which could include practical support, material support, financial support or spiritual support. It could include the provision of meals cooked by others, a referral to foodbank or clothing referral. Whilst we have supported people in the past with these needs in an ad hoc fashion, this framework will ensure a more consistent and holistic approach is used.
## Growbaby
Growbaby stay and play sessions were suspended at the start of lockdown. During this time we had the opportunity to re-think what Growbaby looks like going forward. We recognised the need not just for material support but also relational support. In the summer term we were able to run some new activities which included Toddler’s in the Park and Baby Café, for pre-walking babies – these opportunities to connect were of real value to those who joined in. We also started up coffee and cake in the summer term which has continued to run since then. Volunteers are also able to refer and signpost people to other services when needs arise, including referrals to other local charities which specialise in the provision of children's clothing and baby equipment.
## Kids Matter & Babies Matter
Kids Matter & Babies Matter are 6-week parenting programmes which are effective and accessible parenting programmes for families who want to learn skills to help their children flourish. Kids Matter was on hold throughout lockdown but was able to run every term during this year. We also started Babies Matter for the first time and ran this twice over the year. Many families are referred to us through community links with health visitors and social services - we have had to create a waiting list for parents to attend.
We were delighted to receive funding from the National Lottery, Cinnamon Network and Arnold Clark which will be used to enable the consistent provision of these programmes for a year. The grants enabled us to welcome a new member of staff to the team taking on the role of co-ordinating the parenting programmes.

## Crowthorne Foodbank
Crowthorne Foodbank continues to provide a vital community service, feeding 1100 people this year (2021: 1143) through the provision of emergency food parcels. We continued to support clients, however, to minimise the risk of transmission of covid we greeted clients at the door rather than inviting them into the premises. The local community continues to support us generously – this support has ensured the continued provision of emergency food to those in need. Wellington College provides us with a home for our temporary storage and packing facilities. The storage units were moved during the year to a new location within the grounds of the College. We had hoped to enhance and improve our warehouse facilities at the start of 2022; however, this has been delayed.
## Zoe Zambia
We continued to support orphaned children in Zambia which includes the provision of education. A small number of children that are supported have completed basic school and are now continuing into secondary education. Zoe has funded the building of a new basic school which was built by a community workforce. Phase 2 of the build was completed during the year. In November 2021, the school was visited by one of our UK based Zoe Zambia representatives. Since then, solar panels have been funded and installed which allows the admin block to be used in the evenings for adult education classes.
## **Volunteers**
We encourage people to volunteer their time by serving through the activities listed above. Most of the charity's activities are undertaken by volunteers and the charity could not operate effectively without their generosity and dedication. We are so grateful for their continued commitment and support as we have emerged from the pandemic.
## **Administration**
Wokingham Vineyard has a lease agreement for an office unit on Wellington Business Park in Crowthorne. It provides the church with a central location for events, meetings and administrative tasks. Parenting courses are run from here, and Foodbank clients visit the church centre at appointed times during the week.
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
Responsibility for setting policy and for determining the parameters within which the charity should operate rests with the trustees, who meet regularly to monitor the activities of the charity. Responsibility for the day to day operation of the charity has been delegated to the Senior Pastors. New trustees are recruited and appointed by the existing trustees, by a majority vote.

## **Financial review**
## Unrestricted funds
Unrestricted income remained stable this year £139,200 (2021: £138,900) however unrestricted expenditure increased to £127,600 (2021: £118,700), this gave rise to a surplus of £11,600 (2020: £20,200). Unrestricted net assets include cash of £140,000, of which £80,000 is set aside to meet the future cost of employing a full-time pastor.
## Restricted funds
Restricted income increased to £186,000 (2021: £181,000) and unrestricted expenditure decreased to £117,000 (2021: £128,500), which gave rise to a surplus of £69,100 (2021: £52,500). Restricted net assets include cash of £184,300. Looking at the charity's principal restricted funds in greater detail:
## Zoe Zambia
Income increased to £107,100 (2021: £80,900) following fundraising efforts for phase 3 of the school project and a charity golf day. The charity golf day was attended by many golfers, including a number who have been long term supporters of Zoe. Expenditure decreased to £56,600 (2021: £64,100), as phase 2 of the school project was completed in April 2021.
## Foodbank
Income decreased to £65,700 (2021: £92,400); in 2021 there was a sharp increase in monetary donations received following the covid-19 pandemic, which has now subsided. Expenditure decreased to £56,100 (2021: £59,600).
## **Reserves policy**
The Board of Directors have determined that the charity should aim to hold free reserves (which the Directors define to be unrestricted, undesignated net current assets) of £74,000, which equates to about 6 months' of unrestricted expenditure, so that the charity could continue to operate should income and / or expenditure vary adversely. At year end the company held free reserves of £68,500, which is lower than the target set by the Directors. In addition at year end the charity held cash of £80,000 in a designated fund; no commitment has yet been made to spend the money in this fund and, should the need arise, this cash could be used to help fund the charity's activities.
## **Key risks and uncertainties**
The charity is exposed to various risks - be they operational, financial or reputational. The Directors review the charity's activities regularly to identify significant risks and, where possible, they take appropriate measures to mitigate those risks.

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**
## **Plans for the future**
## Church Services
We hope to hold some additional church gatherings throughout the year, including easter activities and an outdoor service and celebration for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. We will also host a meet and mingle event after church, creating space for those who have joined the church recently to meet other people and get to know us. We would also like to hold a baptism service – something we have not been able to do for some time.
## Kids & Youth work
We are looking forward to expanding the Kids & Youth teams in the coming year. We also plan to develop our provision and would like to introduce kid’s worship.
## Growbaby
We have not used the name Growbaby for any of our activities since lockdown, however several of the activities we run today have been birthed from what was Growbaby. In many ways Growbaby has expanded into multiple activities and services including the provision of parenting courses.
## Kids Matter & Babies Matter
The funding we have received for parenting programmes will allow us to continue running the courses throughout 2022. We hope to be able to continuing offering the these programmes in 2022 and beyond.
## Crowthorne Foodbank
We plan to continue providing this vital support in the coming year and hope to be able to welcome clients back into the premises again soon. We anticipate that need will rise, as cost-of-living increases put pressure on household income. Crowthorne Foodbank is open from 12-2pm two days per week. We plan to trial adding some new opening times in the evenings, to ensure that those in need can get the support they require.
## Zoe Zambia
We anticipate the completion of the third and final phase of the school building project in the coming year. Once this has been completed, the focus for Zoe Zambia going forward will be supporting orphaned children, rather than community development projects.

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**
## **Responsibilities of Directors under company law**
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Directors' 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 Directors 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 the financial year. In preparing these financial statements, the Directors are required to:
1. select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
2. observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
3. make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
4. state whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
5. prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Directors 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 Directors and signed on their behalf by:

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF**
## **WOKINGHAM VINEYARD CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP**
## **('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2022 on pages 9 to 19 following, which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out on pages 11 to 12.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity’s 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’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 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 Fellow of the Association of Charity Independent Examiners, 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:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. 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
4. 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).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The members have not required the company to obtain an audit of its financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022 in accordance with Section 476 of the Companies Act 2006 however, in accordance with Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011, the accounts have been examined by an independent examiner and their report has been included in these financial statements.

## **WOKINGHAM VINEYARD CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP**
## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**
## **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.
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 and legacies 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) Donated facilities, services and goods. Goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries are recognised as income when receivable at fair value (being an estimate of the amount it would cost to purchase those items). Facilities, services and goods donated for the charity's own use are recognised as income when receivable at their value to the charity.
The charity relies on volunteers to carry out many of its activities, particularly Sunday services (including children's and youth work), Foodbank, Kids Matter & Babies Matter. 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.
When donated goods, services and facilities are distributed or consumed, an expense in respect of those items is included in the Statement of Financial Activities. At the year end any goods that have not been distributed or consumed are recognised as stock; donated fixed assets are capitalised.
Income from charitable activities represents income receivable from goods, services and facilities supplied in furtherance of the charity's charitable objects.
Income from other trading activities represents income receivable from activities undertaken to generate funds for the charity. It includes income from Golf Days and similar events.
Investment income represents income generated by the charity's assets and comprises bank interest.
Other income comprises gains arising from the disposal of tangible fixed assets.
## 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 reliably.
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.
The cost of raising funds is not significant and has not been separately disclosed.
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.

## **WOKINGHAM VINEYARD CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP**
## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**
## 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.
## e) 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 £1,000 and the item is expected to benefit the charity over more than one accounting period. Depreciation is charged on a straight line 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 Over 3 to 7 years
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.
## f) Stocks
Stocks of donated items held for distribution to beneficiaries are measured at fair value.
## g) 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.
## h) 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.
- i) 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).
## j) 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.
## k) 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.
