TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The trustees of The Beacon Church, Camberley, who are the charity's directors for the purposes of company law, have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021.
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 who are in conditions of need or hardship or who by reason of age or sickness are in need and to relieve the distress caused thereby.
c) To promote and fulfil such other charitable purposes.
to the community in the county of Surrey and in such other parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the trustees may from time to time think fit.
The trustees note that the Church is not a building, but a gathering of ordinary people of different ages and backgrounds, whose lives have been changed by Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The New Testament reveals the Church as a community of people, properly taught and cared for, who by loving and serving Jesus Christ, were also committed to love and care for each other and to bring a blessing to the area in which they lived. The Beacon Church, Camberley; its trustees, elders and members are committed to the restoration of those New Testament principles. It is not alone in this, it is one of many Churches in the area, country and all over the world that is re-discovering the excitement of knowing Jesus Christ.
The Beacon Church, Camberley belongs to Commission , which is part of the New Frontiers family of churches. Commission is an international family of churches working together to see ‘Thousands of lives transformed, through hundreds of churches, in tens of nations’.
The vision is “Together – Knowing Jesus Better and Making Jesus Known”
Summary of the charity's main activities and achievements and Covid-19
To further the above objects and vision, the charity's main activities and achievements were as follows: In April 2020, due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, the way we run the church changed very significantly as the UK was placed in lockdown. The pastoral structures and the high value of ‘togetherness’ was placed under test.
The global COVID-19 pandemic has created a significant increase in appetite for answers to the meaning of life. Research shows that church attendance using online platforms has increased significantly since March 2020 and The Beacon Church Camberley has been keen to serve the needs of our community in this way. All our services became ‘Church at Home’ and moved to online in March 2020 on Youtube, Facebook Live and Zoom. We have seen much larger viewing figures than we would have had at our in-person services. We were encouraged by this and looked at ways we could make connections with those who are new to the church and support them. From September when Adrian Holloway joined, we went to ‘Church online’ setting up a ‘Studio’ in the Beacon Centre where we live streamed Sunday services. This included welcoming, live worship and live preaching. We also continued the kids work every Sunday morning at 9am for half an hour, live streaming from the studio. Volunteers worked tirelessly producing videos for games, craft, worship songs, bible stories and memory verses. We even had viewers from Scotland for this!! It was even likened to a CBBC programme!
Further to this, our kids workers put on a Zoom Light and Bright Party , which talked about the true meaning of Halloween and how we as a church celebrate Jesus instead.
None of these things would have been possible without the faithful volunteers, particularly on the ‘Tech Team’ that supported and helped film, collate, produce, cut and show on all our platforms.

TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
We put on an Alpha Course online for the first time. This is a course for people who are interested in exploring the Christian faith, 6 guests attended in November 2020 with another course planned to start at the beginning of April 2021.
In the last year it has been difficult to connect with our local community due to the lack of in-person ministries. However, we continue to run the Frontline Debt and Benefit Advice Service which was manged by a part time employed member of staff plus 3 volunteer advisors. Since September 2020 the employed member of staff left but the service has continued under the 3 volunteers. They have supported many clients, seeing them empowered to manage their finances and numerous set free from the overwhelming burden of their debts. Our partnership with Cordwalles School with TLG stopped during lockdown and it was decided not to continue once the schools reopened.
Locally we support a food bank charity called Besom , providing a monthly grant to them. We give a monthly amount to support Camberley Youth for Christ , a local charity that brings the good news of Christ relevantly by working in local schools and partnering with local churches and youth workers. We are also supporters of the charity Compassion , with many in the fellowship sponsoring children in 3[rd ] world nations in education and feeding programmes.
We were waiting for a time to meet in person again. We are unlikely to be able to go back to Tomlinscote school to meet due to the hiring regulations. Adrian Holloway is challenging and shaping us and we have plans to grow while planning a big review of the life and business of the church which we pray will lead to significant church growth.
Pastoral Care
Pastoral care also looked very different during the pandemic as we were working from home and our Pastoral Care Overseer did a good job in checking in with people and supporting the small group leaders in caring for their immediate community. He also produced some short videos to put on all our platforms called: 60 Seconds of Hope, Lockdown Testimonies along with #loveyourneighbour. Small groups met online over Zoom
We had Zoom 'Coffee and catch up' sessions running on Saturday mornings
Our Operations Manager organised a Beacon Church Family Day which ran over zoom which culminated in a Quiz evening.
There were zoom prayer meetings, kids after school online events, an online Freedom in Christ Course and online parenting course.
Community Building
This is the area in which Covid-19 has had the most impact. With many people told to stay at home at the end of March 2020, we were keen for the church to still be good news to the communities around them. Our #loveyourneighbour campaign sought to encourage the church from their homes to be community focussed, and to find ways to be a blessing in their neighbourhoods.
The Golden Years (ministry to the older people of the community) closed their doors at the beginning of the first lockdown in March 2020 and due to the lack of people to run/lead it it has not re-opened. Smarties (our parent and toddler group) stopped running in person in March 2020, however, our Children’s and Families worker did a great job in the first few months of lockdown doing an on-line ‘Smarties at Home’ group, by delivering an online craft and reading stories for the toddler age group every Thursday morning. Unfortunately, it was not sustainable throughout the summer and Smarties has not returned.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The Beacon Football Team obviously was not able to finish their 2019-2020 Season due to the national lockdown. It did start the 2020-21 Season in September with restrictions in place and ran a reduced schedule when it was allowed to play. The team recruits from both members of the church and of the local community. The club manager aims to provide a highly professional club experience for those who play and expects high standards of conduct on and off the pitch. The team prays at the beginning of every game and players are aware that it is a Christian club.
In December 2020 we planned and organised to put on a ‘Drive In’ Carol Service in Tomlinscote School carpark and ‘sold’ free tickets to the event. However, unfortunately this was cancelled 2 days before hand due to the area going into Tier 4.
Staffing and Volunteers
In April 2020 to end of August 2020 the church was led by three Elders: Andrew Booth, Tim Chapman and Chris Mackinlay. In September 2020, Adrian Holloway joined the staff team to become our Lead Pastor to replace Andrew Booth on staff, although Andrew has remained an Elder of the Church. Between the beginning of April and end of July 2020, due to the pandemic, to save costs to the church, 2 members of staff were placed on Furlough. Jon Oldaker, the Youth & Community Pastor and Tina Craig, the Finance Assistant & Facilities Manager. Both were then put on ‘flexible furlough’ from beginning of August 2020 to end of March 2021. However, in November 2020, Jon Oldaker, left the role to pursue another role elsewhere. His role was not replaced immediately as discussions took place to see what the church required. After much consideration and prayer and several rounds of interviews we appointed a Full Time Youth Pastor in April 2021.
During this period all members of staff, when working, ‘worked from home’ and the Beacon Centre was closed to the public.
These are the staff roles during this period:
-
A part time Lead Elder (until August 2020)
-
A part time Lead Pastor (from September 2020)
-
A full time Youth & Community Pastor (until December 2020) (Full time furlough April to
-
June 2020, Flexible furlough from July 2020 to November 2020)
-
A full time Pastoral Support Overseer
-
A part time Children’s & Families Pastor
-
A part time Operations Manager
-
A part time Finance Administrator & Facilities Manager (Full time furlough April to June
-
2020, Flexible furlough from July 2020 to March 2021)
In addition, approximately 30 volunteers give up their time to lead and help the online services and zoom ministries at the church. We are greatly indebted to these volunteers for their commitment and support.
In planning the activities the Trustees have applied the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.
Structure, Governance and Management
The trustees who have served during the year and since the year end are set out on page 1. Trustees are appointed by the members of the charitable company by way of ordinary resolution. Alternatively, existing trustees may appoint trustees to serve until the subsequent annual general meeting, at which they may be reappointed by the members.
The Elders who are also trustees of the charity, meet regularly to oversee the spiritual leadership of the church. The day to day management of the charity has been delegated to the Elders, one of whom is employed full time. The trustees meet together corporately at least quarterly.

THE BEACON CHURCH CAMBERLEY
TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
Trustees are selected based on experience within the church and of charitable and operational knowledge. Anybody chosen as an Elder, which follows a separate process by which the church and Elders prayerfully consider appointment, is expected to become a trustee. During the appointment process, prospective trustees are informed of their legal responsibilities should they become trustees of the charity. Changes to these responsibilities are discussed at trustee meetings.
All of the trustees are members of the charity. The members’ liability is limited to £10 each.
Financial review
During the year income increased by £37,700 to £318,200, and expenditure decreased by £57,800 to £305,300. As a result the charity made a surplus for the year of £12,900 compared to a deficit in the prior year of £82,600 increasing the charity's net assets to £1,244,700. Net current assets increased by £69,800 to £205,700.
Reserves policy
The reserves policy, as set and reviewed regularly by the trustees, is to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at a level which equals the sum of the equivalent of three months staff costs, plus an additional amount for equipment replacement recognising the need to maintain or replace larger items the Beacon Centre.
At 31 March 2021, reserves, being equivalent to net current assets in general funds, totalled £205,700 (2020: £135,900). The current reserves are allocated as follows; 3 months’ staff costs which approximate to £49,900 and equipment replacement reserve is set at £40,648, recognising the Beacon Centre being 10 years old. £113,928 remains as free reserves available to be used for the future activities being explored as described above. The trustees have forecasted income and expenditure for the foreseeable future and plan to retain the majority of the free reserves in the coming year. They believe sufficient funding is in place to support the ongoing activities of the Church.
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 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.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
1 Statutory Information
The charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee with no share capital and is incorporated in the United Kingdom. The liability of each member in the event of winding up is limited to £10. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page 1.
2 Accounting Policies
These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets, which are measured at fair value through the Statement of Financial Activities.
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 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. 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.
- iii) Legacies. Income from legacies is recognised when a distribution is received from the estate or, if earlier, when the charity has been notified that a distribution will be made and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.
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.
Investment income represents income generated by the charity's assets and includes income from cash deposits.
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
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.

THE BEACON CHURCH CAMBERLEY
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
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.
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 £500 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:
Freehold buildings Over 50 years after taking account of the building's residual value Fixtures and fittings 15 to 25 years Short lease 10 years Furniture and equipment 4 years Land and assets under construction are not depreciated.
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) 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.
g) 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.
h) 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).
i) 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.

The church supports missionaries in the UK and internationally. Where a particular missionary has been supported by the church for a number of years, strict compliance with the Charities' Statement of Recommended Practice (SOR) may regard some arrangements as constituting constructive obligations such that future years' support is accounted for in these accounts as a liability. Whilst the support has no final end date in some cases, the church officers assess missionary funding on an annual basis and are confident that the missionaries would not view their support as an open-ended obligation by the church.
