The trustees, who are the charitable company's directors for the purposes of company law, have pleasure in submitting their report and the accounts for the year.

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: 

- to advance the Christian faith 

- to provide relief for those in need or in hardship 

Hope Community Church (West London) seeks to give glory to God and serving the community locally and at large for His Kingdom.  Our priorities are:-

Our objective is to reach out effectively with the message of salvation and to offer hope, care and support to those that need help in society. To achieve this, we will provide activities and social endeavour focused on our West London area with particular emphasis on the disadvantaged, sick and poor and support and encourage missionary initiatives with which we have a direct involvement around the world. 

Our desire is to continually broaden and increase our Christian impact on the communities in which we live and work and as a Christian organisation, we bear the responsibility of showing the love of God for his people, but most especially, for the needy. 

## **Summary of the charity's main activities and achievements**

The following activities are facilitated during the year: 

- weekly regular Christian worship

- Men's and Ladies' fellowship meetings 

- engaging with external agencies in supporting the vulnerable

Most the charity's activities are undertaken by volunteers and the charity could not operate effectively without their efforts.

## **HOPE COMMUNITY CHURCH (WEST LONDON)** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT CONTINUED** 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

Responsibility for setting policy and for making operating decisions rests with the trustees who meet regularly to monitor the activities of the charity. The trustees consult with the charity's spiritual leadership team when they go through the process of recruiting and appointing new trustees. New trustees are appointed by the existing trustees, by a majority vote. 

The Church’s spiritual leadership team comprise Paul Anduuru and Florence Mabwa in the Pastoral role and they are advised by two Elders. Apart from Paul Anduuru who is employed as a Pastor, the other spiritual leadership team are serving voluntarily. The spiritual leadership team prayerfully set the vision for the Church and determine how the Church should go about encouraging the spiritual growth of those that participate in the Church’s activities. They along with other invited speakers, also preach at the Church’s Sunday services. 

## **Financial review** 

During the year income increased by £4,893 to £64,938, and expenditure increased by £11,026 to £86,284. As a result the charity has reported a deficit this year of £21,346 (2021: £15,213) and net assets have fallen by that amount to £52,805. Net assets are represented by leasehold improvements with a carrying value of £36,447, cash of £6,279 and other net current assets of £10,079. 

This year's expenditure includes a non-cash charge of £20,982 for depreciation. Once this is added back, the charity's deficit for the year reduces to £364 and, in cash flow terms, the charity broadly operated at about break even. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The trustees have determined that the charity should aim to hold unrestricted cash of about £10,000 so that the charity could continue to operate should income and / or expenditure vary adversely. At the year end, the charity held unrestricted cash of £6,279. Though this is below the target for holding reserves, the trustees are satisfied that the charity can continue to operate with this level of reserves for the time being. The trustees are aiming to move closer towards the stated target for holding reserves over the coming year. 

The trustees are continuing to monitor income and expenditure closely and are confident that, should the need arise, steps could be taken to reduce expenditure and that supporters would be willing to provide additional financial assistance. For these reasons, the trustees are satisfied that the charity will be able to continue to operate for at least the next 12 months and these financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. 

## **Key risks and uncertainties** 

The charity is exposed to various risks - be they operational, financial or reputational. The trustees review the charity's activities regularly to identify significant risks and, where possible, they take appropriate measures to mitigate those risks. As referred to above, the charity has relatively modest reserves and the charity is vulnerable to fluctuations in income.  To address this risk, steps are being taken to try to increase reserves.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT CONTINUED** 

## **Responsibilities of the trustees** 

The trustees 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). 

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 

5. prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the 

charity will continue in operation. 

The trustees 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 trustees signed on their behalf by:

## **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’).

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** 

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.

## **HOPE COMMUNITY CHURCH (WEST LONDON)** 

## **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 note that the charity held relatively little unrestricted cash at the year-end and they continue to monitor income and expenditure closely. Should the need arise, the trustees believe that steps could be taken to reduce expenditure and that supporters would be willing to provide additional financial assistance. For these reasons, the trustees are satisfied that the charity will be able to continue to operate for at least the next 12 months and these financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. 

## 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 recoverable gift aid, which is recognised when the related donation is received. At the balance sheet date any gift aid due from HM Revenue & Customs is included as a debtor. 

The charity relies on volunteers to carry out many of its activities, in particular the running of a cafe. 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. 

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 a café run by the charity and from making the charity's facilities available to others. 

## 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. 

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 

Unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. 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.

## **HOPE COMMUNITY CHURCH (WEST LONDON)** 

## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **2 Accounting Policies continued** 

## 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: 

Leasehold improvements Over the lease term or, if shorter, expected useful life 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) Leased assets 

Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the charity are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term (unless another systematic basis is more representative of use). 

## 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. Creditors and debtors are measured at their expected settlement value (normally the amount of cash that the charity expects to pay or receive). 

## i) 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.

In addition to the fees payable for the preparation and examination of the accounts, the charity paid Stewardship £90 (2021: £90) for consultancy services and £466 (2021: £465) for payroll bureau services. 

## **6 Analysis of staff costs, the cost of key management personnel and trustee remuneration and expenses** 

The charity has one employee (2021: one).  Nearly all of the charity's activities are carried out by volunteers. 

No staff received salaries at a rate of more than £60,000 per annum. 

The charity's key management comprise the trustees and the key staff named on the Company Information page. Total employment benefits payable to key management for the year were as follows:

Paul Anduuru served as church leader and received the above payments for serving in that capacity, not for serving as trustee. It came to light in 2021 that the charity's governing document does not permit the charity to employee trustees. To rectify this breach of the governing document, Paul Anduuru resigned as a trustee in December 2021.

During the year the trustees noted that the brought forward balance on the restricted Café fund (being principally donations received from those who used the Cafe) was not restricted as it could be used for any charitable purpose. Therefore the brought forward balance on the Café fund, which was £1,909, has been transferred to unrestricted funds. The donations received during the year from those who used the Café have this year been treated as unrestricted income.
