part of the development of the church. In tandem with this, a board of trustees ( Business team") was
formed in 2006. The business team has key responsibilities for financial. business, risk management
and governance of the church's activities.
Alongside this team, a broader church Leadership team exists to develop the spiritual, pastoral and

seat on both teams.

Achievements and performance
Our Story
Teesside Vineyard is part of the Vineyard Movement: a group of churches committed to loving others
with all we've got and living out all that Jesus called us to do.
Pastored by Ross & Miriam Aggett. Teesside Vineyard Church is based in Thomaby and gathers from
all across the Tees Valley. Our hope" to provide spaces for people to encounter Jesus, be transformed
forever and to impact the world.
Have a read of our story so far...
In the autumn of 2002, Jon & Sandra Bums gathered a group of people to meet in Yarm with the aim
of starting a new church in the area - 'a church for people who don't like church, and Yarm Vineyard
Church was born. In late 2009. Yarm Vineyard Church moved out of its home at Yarm School due to
building works. With church members living all across The Tees Valley area, we decided the time was
right for a name change to reflect the direction we were moving. Yarm Vineyard Church was then
renamed 'The Vine Teesside.,
In September 2011 Jon & Sandra handed the church over to Mike & Kookie Taylor. Mike and Kookie
have served churches in the United States since 1982. Their passion and love for the Tees Valley
began in 2005 when Mike came and served on a short temi mission trip. Mike led multiple mission
teams that came and served in Teesside over the next six years and then moved his family across the
pond in 2011. Their love for the area and the people of The Vine Church led them to accept the call to
come and invest their lives here.
In August 2016. The Vine Church moved into St Lukes. Thornaby and in order to reflect our belonging
to the Vineyard movement we have decided that another name change was necessary. From June
2017 we will be known as Teesside Vineyard and ourjourney continues as we BUILD OUR CHURCH,
REACH OUR COMMUNITY, IMPACT OUR WORLD and live out expectantly for God to use us across
the Tees Valley and beyond.

Financial review
The finances of the church remain healthy with a core group of regular donations complemented by
individual contributions donated during regular church seNices.
The Statement of Financial Activities for the year is set out on page 6 of the Financial Statements.
Details of movements in fixed assets are set out in Note 14 to the accounts.
The unrestricted funds of the charity at 31 st August 2024 amounted to £7,568 of which free reserves
(that is those not tied up in fixed assets) amount to £5,899.
Reserves Policy and Risk Management
The trustees have examined the requirements for free rese￿es. Whilst the current level of reseNes
may prove sufficient, it is the trustees, view that it is prudent to ensure that there are sufficient free
reseNes at a level which equates to approximately six months unrestricted expenditure. This provides
sufficient funds to cover support costs, management and administration.
The trustees have conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed. Any major
financial risks during the year have been brought to the attention of the Trustee Board and a Risk
Management Strategy is in place.
The trustees, annual report and the strategic report were approved on 30 January 2025 and signed on
behalf of the board of trustees by..

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Teesside Vineyard Church
Year ended 31 August 2024
report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Teesside Vineyard Church
('the charity,) for the year ended 31 August 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law} you are
responsible for the preparation of the financial statements 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
the 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)Ib) 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-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the
2006 Act., or
the financial statements do not accord with those records.. or
the financial statements do not comply 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
the financial statements 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.
