TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING DIRECTORS' REPORT)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

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 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 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 Mission statement of the church is: "We are here to help people: Know God, Find Freedom, Discover their Purpose and Make a Difference."

The Vision statement of the church is: we see "A growing church of 500 people, transforming lives and building community."

In planning the activities the Trustees have applied the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.

Summary of the charity's main activities and achievements

To advance the Christian faith, we have continued to work hard at making our Sunday services more accessible to people who are not yet Christians. Towards the end of the period under review, we gave more staff resource to this end, adding one new paid part-time staff to support the worship team, and adding “worship team” to another existing staff member’s job description. We have continued to see an average of 7 new first-time adult visitors on a typical Sunday. To give some context, when the church first met in person post-Covid in July 2021, we had 162 attend. During 2023-24 we regularly had more than 280 in attendance, and we had 327 attend on Easter Sunday 2024. In this respect we are moving closer to our vision of being a growing church of 500 people.

In terms of our mission, we saw people come to “Know God” for the first time. This was both at Sunday services and on our Alpha Course, which moved in person after 3 years of being online only.

One of the things we do to help people “Find Freedom” is Debt Counselling. That is to say that we partner with a debt counselling charity called Frontline, who provide free debt counselling for anyone in the area. Three of the 4 Frontline counsellors who operate out of our building, The Beacon Centre, are

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.

TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING DIRECTORS' REPORT)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

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. The trustees meet together corporately at least quarterly.

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 £60,262 to £458,562, and expenditure increased by £42,985 to £457,885. As a result the charity made a surplus for the year of £677 compared to a deficit in the prior year of £16,600 increasing the charity's net assets to £1,164,477.

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 2024, reserves, being equivalent to net current assets in general funds, totalled £256,500 (2023: £192,700). The current reserves are allocated as follows; 3 months’ staff costs which approximate to £43,000 and equipment replacement reserve is set at £35,000, recognising the Beacon Centre being 13 years old. Restricted funds come to a total of £13,300 (2023: £13,700). £178,500 (2023: £114,700) 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:

  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

  1. prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES OF

THE BEACON CHURCH CAMBERLEY

('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024 on pages 7 to 16 following, which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out on pages 9 to 10.

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 member of Institute of Chartered Accountantsof Scotland, 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 BEACON CHURCH CAMBERLEY

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

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 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.

Income from donations and legacies includes:

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.

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 asset.

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

Page 9

THE BEACON CHURCH CAMBERLEY

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

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.

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

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

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
