TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply 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)" (effective 1 January 2019).
Objectives and activities
The purpose of the Charity as set out in the objects contained in the company’s Articles of Association are:
-
To advance the education of the public particularly but not exclusively by providing nursery and adult education in Rustington and the surrounding area;
-
To provide or assist in the provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure time occupation in the interests of social welfare with the object of improving the conditions of life for the inhabitants of Rustington and the surrounding area without distinction of sex or of political, religious or other opinions;
-
To advance the Christian faith in accordance with the Statement of Beliefs appearing in the scheulae hereto in Rustington and such other parts of the United Kingdom and the world as the trustees may from time to time think fit; and
-
To relieve poverty and to preserve and protect the good health of the public in Rustington and the surrounding area by providing advice and counselling services.
We seek to outwork these aims locally within the immediate geographic area, but also across the UK and internationally with various contacts that the Charity has.
Ensuring our work delivers our aims
We continuously assess our activities and impact, reviewing the aims and objectives each year. This following report looks at what we achieved and the outcomes of our work in the previous 12 months. The report highlights successes and challenges of each key activity and the benefits they have brought to those groups of people we are set up to help.
The report also helps us ensure our aim, objectives and activities remained focused on our stated purposes. We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aim and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
The focus of our work, and public benefit
In pursuance of our objects of advancing education, providing facilities, promoting the Christian Faith, and relieving poverty, the Charity runs a range of activities and services, engaging with many different people in the local communities.
The Trustees strongly believe that the work of the Charity is for the public benefit. We provide registered pre-school education across two locations, and maintain a large community facility used by multiple agencies to serve thousands of local families, particularly those in deprived areas or with multiple needs.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Achievements and performance
The year April 2021 to March 2022 continued to present challenges related to the Covid -19 pandemic, particularly in regard to restrictions on services and public gatherings using our community centre in the early part of the period.
The following are reviews on the four main areas of our activity:
The Wickbourne Centre
The centre continues to provide the base of operations for Arun Community Church and the West Sussex County Council Arun East Family Hub (Early Help). In line with a long-standing agreement, the council have priority use of most public parts of the building between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday. During this period, the Early Help service had an internal restructure with various staff changes and closure of other family centres across the county. However, the Wickbourne Centre was considered a priority for the council and continues to be used as an office and service delivery point for the community.
As part of that offer, early Early Help allow the Community Midwife Service and Health Visitor Clinic to operate from the Centre in addition to their other family support services, ensuring the building continues to be a well-used asset in the local community.
Arun Community Church also use the building daily, having priority use at all other times. The church continues to run youth groups, band rehearsals, evening courses, family events and meetings out of the centre. Their staff team work from the building, providing pastoral and practical support alongside the County Council to anyone from the local community.
The Centre has a catering kitchen that is used to provide food to the coffee shop and to the Playcentre (early years childcare service) in the building. Due to the coffee shop being open irregularly, the need for the kitchen has decreased significantly and we temporarily closed it in February 2022. Children in the playcentre now bring packed lunches where needed. We intend to reopen the kitchen in future when things can be more consistent.
During the year, we have continued with regular maintenance and decoration, helping to make the building more welcoming and inviting. This included new branding and logos in line with Arun Community Church. We also appointed into some key roles as previous employees have moved on, these include a Maintenance Lead, a full-time Receptionist, and cleaning staff.
The trustees also started a review of our HR support, seeking a more complete service that included Health and Safety advice. This new service started in April 2021 and promises to provide a variety of new options for the employees, leaders and trustees. In addition, the trustees started a period of review in January 2021 that includes advice and training on governance issues.
Wickbourne Playcentre
The Playcentre is situated within the Wickbourne Centre. After moving from a year-round nursery to term-time only in previous period, the Playcentre has now settled into a good routine, taking up to 32 children per session.
Highlights during the year included installing a new, landscaped garden and outdoor play-space complete with soft-flooring, artificial grass, sandpit, and climbing frame. It has revitalised the outdoor area and the children love using it in all weathers. Another highlight was the Christmas nativity in December where parents came to watch their children perform.
Rustington Playcentre
This Playcentre is situated on the High Street in Rustington Village and continues to enjoy a great reputation locally. There were no significant changes during this period as it continues to operate well. During the summer, the outside paving was replaced. Highlights this year included the Christmas nativity and parties at The Wickbourne Centre.
Refresh Coffee Shop
Refresh is a trading company joint-owned by the Charity and Arun Community Church, providing refreshments inside the centre and creating a more welcoming environment. Recovery from Covid-19 has been challenging without regular activity in the building, so the coffee shop has not been open each day. Instead, we have attempted to open at key times when events are happening, part-staffing with volunteers.

ARUN COMMUNITY CHURCH: WICKBOURNE CENTRE
TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Financial review
Under challenging circumstances, the charity has continued to develop its services and successfully retained a similar income to previous years. However, there was also increased spending during the period with costs of most activities, services and goods going up due to wider economic factors. As a result, the church made a loss at the end of the financial year, and has used some of its reserves.
Principal funding sources
Just over half of the charity income is from our childcare services (56%) including fees from parents and Early Years Free Entitlement. Around 36% comes from use of the Wickbourne Centre building by partners such as Arun Community Church and West Sussex County Council., with the remaining 9% is made up of small grants, charitable donations and sales.
Investment policy
The Memorandum & Articles of Association authorises the trustees to make and hold investments using the general funds of the charity, but no such investments are presently held.
Reserves policy
The Board has established that the Charity will not keep specific reserves of funds for any purpose other than for day-to-day operational costs included in the budget. Some reserves exist within the Charity, but these are allocated to specific projects and expenditure lines. The intention is that the Charity will keep up to three months operating costs in a current and reserve bank account, but that the amount in these accounts will fluctuate in time according to the fees and grants received, and other sources of income for the Charity.
Plans for the future
For 2022/23 the Charity aims to maintain its existing activities and services, developing them according to the needs of the beneficiaries. Funds received will continue to be spent broadly in line with the current pattern of expenditure.
It is also planned that the charity will start to review the facilities and use of the Wickbourne Centre post-pandemic, making suggestions for long-term future development for the benefit of the wider community.
The trustees recognise the need to recruit new members, and plan to continue reviewing the support systems and governance of the organisation that was started this year. This will include specific training for the trustees.
Structure, governance and management
The Company is constituted by the Memorandum & Articles of Association. The Company was incorporated on 19th July 2004 and commenced activities on 1st November 2004.
The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:
Mr A J Harsant
Mr J A Jolly Mr L B Hills Ms R L Jupp Mr A Gill
The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law. Appointment of the trustees is governed by the Articles of Association of the Company and trustees are elected to serve for a period of three years after which they must be re-elected.
The trustees are authorised to appoint new trustees to fill vacancies arising through resignation or death of an existing trustee. Trustees will be appointed from the membership of the Arun Community Church.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Trustee induction and training
New trustees are inducted and trained for their role with a programme arranged as and when new directors are appointed. Training is overseen by the Church’s Executive Leader and includes input from all existing trustees and external training days for trustees of charities where necessary.
Organisational structure
Arun Community Church: Wickbourne Centre has a board of trustees (of no less than 3 people with no maximum) who are responsible for the legal and regulatory aspects of the Charity. There are currently 5 trustees (listed on page 3) made up of a variety of backgrounds relevant to the work of the charity.
A scheme of delegation is in place and day-to-day responsibility for the provision of the services rest with the Senior and Executive Leaders of Arun Community Church, and their department Managers within the charity.
Most managers report to the Executive Leader who has responsibility for day-to-day operations, and who reports directly to the Senior Leader. The Senior Leader is responsible for ensuring the charity delivers the services specified. The Charity outsources Human Resources and Health & Safety support to an external company who can better guide on employment and compliance issues.
Individual one-to-one supervision occurs regularly for each employee, and managers meet on a monthly basis. The Arun Community Church Leadership also meet on a weekly basis. In this way decisions are taken as to the activities and programmes of the Charity. The full Board meets at least 4 times a year to take decisions relating to finances, pay and organisation matters of the Charity.
Risk management
The Charity has a risk management process which comprises a review of the risks that the Charity faces as they arise. Each risk is assessed, and the Charity takes appropriate actions as necessary. The mitigating factors and actions are also assessed. Where risks are identified that warrant further action, where possible, appropriate changes are identified and either incorporated into procedure, or costs identified for future budgeting, For significant risks that are less tangible, mitigation is sought through insurance policies or by training, for example for risks associated with debt advice.
The process has identified a number of minor risks, many of which are covered by insurances. The significant risks are focussed around the Church gathering, with large numbers of people, particularly young children, and the risk of injury and loss to them.

1 Accounting policies
Charity information

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, the principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

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.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
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 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.
1.6 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.
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:
Fixtures and fittings 25% reducing balance
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.
1.7 Fixed asset investments
Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.
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.
1.8 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).
1.9 Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition. Items held for distribution at no or nominal consideration are measured the lower of replacement cost and cost.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.
1.10 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.11 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 a 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.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
1.12 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.
1.13 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
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.
