## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

## _**Public benefit**_ 

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

## General 

The Trustees meet every 6 – 8 weeks to ensure that the charity operates in compliance with relevant regulations and guidelines, and charity and company law, as well as overseeing the charity finances, staff and facilities and dealing with any other relevant issues. Between the full Trustees meetings, sub-committees meet to look in greater detail at the assets and staff of the organisation and then feedback to a full meeting of the Trustees. 

## The advancement of the Christian faith in accordance with the doctrines set out therein 

Various initiatives have either started or continued during the last financial year to advance the Christian faith. 

The Alpha Course was run, both in person and online, from September to December 2022. Over 50 people attended the course which provided people the opportunity to explore and develop their faith. The course also provided opportunities for friendships to be developed and community strengthened. 

Our annual Christmas events took place this year incorporating carol services etc. 

New believers classes have also been held to teach and train new Christians in foundational doctrines and Christian living. 

Prayer meetings have continued over the last year with regular early morning meetings on Zoom, both for the local church and to show support for Christians in Ukraine. 

The work with children and young people has continued with groups for different ages: CityKids (2 – 11 years), Verve Youth (11 – 18 years) and Verve Young Adults (18 – 25 years). The CityKids teams have also run events for local children at Halloween, Christmas and Easter. 

In person and online home groups, where people meet to develop relationships and their faith, continue to meet people’s basic pastoral needs. Counselling and prayer have also been available at the end of church services and other times. 

CityCoast Church held a worship service in Worthing as it aims to establish a church in this nearby town. 

The church is part of Brighton and Hove Faith in Action, which aims to promote working together between different faith groups.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

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

CityCoast Care oversees projects in the local community. Specifically, Christmas hampers were provided to both men and women living in local hostels. Also, a playground refurbishment project improved the play facilities at a local school attended by children with special educational needs. 

During the last financial year, the church has seen growth in its group for older people in the local community, TeaTimeTalk. Working with another local charity, Time to Talk Befriending, the group provides a free afternoon tea every month. Up to 70 older people take part and feedback has been very positive. 

The church has also provided financial support to people in need through its welfare fund. 

To promote support and encourage voluntary activities that advance education, culture and spiritual welfare and provide recreational and leisure activities in the interests of social welfare in the local community, Brighton and Hove and areas of benefit where we can make a difference without distinction of race, sex, political, religious or other opinion 

CityCoast Centre continues to provide community space, training facilities rooms etc. for meetings/events for local groups, charities, businesses and statutory organisations. 

Good relationships continue to be developed facilitating greater partnership working in the community. CityCoast Centre continues to be a useful resource for the wider community, as well as generating income for the organisation. 

## **Going concern** 

After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. 

## **Financial review** 

During the year the charitable company made an unrestricted surplus of £23,313 (2022 - £32,654) and a restricted deficit of £8,161 (2022 - surplus £8,893) before transfers. The balances available to carry forward to the following year were £7,988 restricted and £1,021,579 unrestricted funds. 

## _**Policy on reserves**_ 

The charitable company carries out a variety of projects. The directors consider that it would be desirable to have a working reserve equivalent to 3 months expenditure. At the present time funds are fully utilised as they become available. The policy will be reviewed regularly.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

## **Statement of Trustees' responsibilities** 

The Trustees (who are also the directors of Citycoast Trust for the purposes 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), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland". 

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. 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 applicable accounting standards, comprising FRS 102 have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that can 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. 

## **Small companies provision statement** 

This report has been prepared in accordance with the small companies regime under the Companies Act 2006. 

The annual report was approved by the Trustees of the charity on 18 November 2023 and signed on its behalf by:

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CITYCOAST TRUST** 

I report to the charity Trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023 which are set out on pages 7 to 22. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity’s Trustees of Citycoast Trust (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 Citycoast Trust 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 the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants, 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 Citycoast Trust 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.

## **CITYCOAST TRUST** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **1 Charity status** 

The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in England, and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the Trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £1 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation. 

## **2 Accounting policies** 

## **Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates** 

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. 

## **Statement of compliance** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). They also comply with the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011. 

## **Basis of preparation** 

Citycoast Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. 

## **Going concern** 

The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity. 

## **Income and endowments** 

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably. 

Page 10 



## **CITYCOAST TRUST** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## _**Donations and legacies**_ 

Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. 

Legacy gifts are recognised on a case by case basis following the grant of probate when the administrator/executor for the estate has communicated in writing both the amount and settlement date. In the event that the gift is in the form of an asset other than cash or a financial asset traded on a recognised stock exchange, recognition is subject to the value of the gift being reliably measurable with a degree of reasonable accuracy and the title to the asset having been transferred to the charity. 

## _**Grants receivable**_ 

Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released. 

## _**Gift aid**_ 

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

## _**Interest receivable**_ 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited. 

## **Expenditure** 

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. 

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT. 

## _**Charitable activities**_ 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

Page 11 



## **CITYCOAST TRUST** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Individual fixed assets are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. 

## **Depreciation and amortisation** 

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: 

|**Asset class**|**Depreciation method and rate**|
|---|---|
|Freehold property|2% straight line|
|Fixtures and fittings|25% on reducing balance|



## **Stock** 

Stock is valued at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell, after due regard for obsolete and slow moving stocks. 

## **Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

## **Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. 

## **Liabilities** 

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. 

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

## **CITYCOAST TRUST** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **Fund structure** 

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the Trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside for specific purposes at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose. 

## **Pensions and other post retirement obligations** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme which is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the charity has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. 

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment. 

## **Financial instruments** 

The company only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
