Review of April 2021 to March 2022

Following the lifting of lockdown regulations, the Church resumed in-person worship in July with the full range of activities progressively returning from September. These included Coffee Stop on Monday mornings; Friendship Group for older people twice monthly and a Thursday evening, monthly. House Groups resumed meeting on alternate weeks with about 56 people attending, as did the corporate prayer meeting. Women’s Groups, the use of Zoom and other electronic means of communication had proved to be highly effective and resulted in a number of new people joining in activities.

Rev Mike Simm joined us as our new minister at the end of April with his induction and licensing service taking place online. He is an ordained Anglican priest but with extensive experience of another ecumenical church in Norfolk. There is now a full leadership team in his support which meets monthly and weekly for prayer. Church members meet four times a year.

Two Alpha courses were held – one for potential new Christians, and one for established church members. More are planned.

A comprehensive range of Christmas activities was presented including carol singing in the local pub.

We are seeking to be more generous as a Church by increasing our monthly tithe to 12.5% of gross income, as well as establishing a community (pastoral) fund to relieve hardship by granting cash gifts to deal with particular situations. Members of the congregation make regular or one-off gifts to the fund.

A project to upgrade the Church Centre commenced at the end of the year to make it a more uplifting environment for the groups that use it, as well as a more inspiring place for worship. Its completion will be reported in next year’s document.

Southgate Church Bury St Edmunds Suffolk

Safeguarding has been under particular review. The church had to adopt the approach of the local Anglican Diocese – concentrating on Promoting a Safer Church and Safer Recruitment. All church members are being encouraged to undertake basic awareness training online, the issue is on the agenda now of all meetings of leadership team, trustees and members.

Family and Community work

Whilst Covid 19 has had a significant impact over the past year, the Family and Community Ministry of Southgate Church has changed and adapted so it can continue to best meet the needs of families in the church and in the local community.

We have made use of the online platform Zoom which enabled us to not only maintain relationships with children and families but also to grow and develop them through this testing time.

We have made the most of the great outdoors and have hosted four community events to celebrate Easter and Christmas, we offered an alternative to Hallowe’en on 31[st] October and we also honoured the fallen with a Remembrance display which people of all ages worked on together.

The toddler group have made the most of the local park for outdoor activities, and the two youth groups too.

Our children’s ministry team were delighted to be part of a Churches Together Summer Celebration which took place in the town’s historic Abbey Gardens. Report of the trustees for the period ended 31 March 2022

Also during the summer holidays, we were able to run our week long children’s Holiday Club which saw over 36 children from the local community having a week of fun, games, crafts, songs and bible teaching. A wonderful team of volunteers worked together to ensure a good and safe time was had by all.

We have been delighted to host four Messy Church events throughout the year, one being online and three when we were able to meet in person again.

It was good to celebrate Christmas as a community and we were able to host two family events as well as a Carol Service in the local pub.

So despite a year of uncertainty, the work of Southgate Church has continued to flourish.

Objects and Activities

The Church is a registered charity and its objective is to advance the principles, teaching and practices of the Christian faith for the benefit of the public in particular, but not exclusively, in the Southgate area of Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk.

Report of the trustees for the period ended 31 March 2022

Financial Review

There was a deficit of £27,321 for the period as opposed to a surplus of £792 in the previous year. Our new minister Mike started his ministry with us in April 2022 which meant that the church house let came to an end during the previous February and the monthly stipend to the Church of England began from April, these were the two main changes to our income and expenditure pattern compared to the previous years and drove the change from a surplus to a deficit. Income during the year was some £35,000 higher than budgeted and was driven by increased income from donors and an increase in restricted gifts. A number of appeals were made during the year to which the church membership responded extremely generously meaning that both restricted income and expenditure were significantly higher than in recent years. A Community Fund was also set up to enable the church to respond to specific financial

Southgate Church Bury St Edmunds Suffolk

needs as and when they arise. Expenditure was higher by a little over £15,000 but this was mainly due to the disbursement of the aforementioned Restricted gifts as generally other areas were underspent such as Ministry, Church Groups and Clubs, Community Centre Occupancy Costs and Fellowship Activities. The regular and faithful ongoing financial support of the congregation has continued and this was at an increased level compared to recent years, the majority of this through tax efficient means. Expenditure was well controlled during the year and net expenditure was some £19,000 lower than expected. The charity’s policy of keeping three month’s running costs in reserves has been more than maintained with net current assets at the end of the period being £135,348 .

Structure, Governance and Management

Southgate Church is foremost a fellowship of individuals who believe that God is living and his son, the Lord Jesus Christ exemplified God’s life for us by dying in our place so that we may be restored to a real, living relationship with our God.

In legal terms, the Church is a company limited by guarantee incorporated on 12th May 2006 and was registered as a charity on 9th August 2006. The governance principles of the Church are set out in the Articles which are registered with both Companies House and the Charity Commission. The Articles were amended on 17th October 2018 and on 11th September 2019. The latter amendment provides for the Minister of the Church to be eligible to become a trustee if he opts to do so. Those amendments also included additional safeguards for the governance of the Church.

In the event of the company being wound up Church Members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10. That applies also to individuals who were past Members in the last 12 months prior to dissolution.

Southgate Church is a Local Ecumenical Partnership founded by Churches Together in Bury St. Edmunds and District over forty years ago. The founding denominations that signed the Sharing Agreement are the Church of England, the Baptist Church and the United Reformed Church. The Church has a Board of Trustees, the composition of which was amended by special resolution in October 2018 and allows the Church to draw upon the experience and guidance of other denominations. The Trustees meet several times during the year. The Board may comprise up to 12 trustees:

Southgate Church - up to 8 members inclusive of the Minister and the Leadership Team, the Honorary Treasurer and the Secretary;
St Mary’s with St Peter’s, the Parish Church - 1 nominated from the Parochial Church Council;
The Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich - 1 nomination;
The Eastern Baptist Association - 1 nomination;
The Eastern Synod of the United Reformed Church - 1 nomination

Trustees' Responsibilities in Relation to the Financial Statements

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable accounting standards 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 company will continue in business.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 1985. 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.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Southgate Church

I report on the accounts of the Southgate Church for the year ended 31 March 2021, which are set out on pages 9 to 17.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

As the charity’s trustees of the Company (who are also the directors of the company 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 for this year 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.

Basis of independent examiner’s statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 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 accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102).

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.

1 Accounting policies

These 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 for Smaller Entities published on 16 July 2014, the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective January 2015) and the Charities Act 2011.

Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.

Income

Income is recognised in the period in which the charity is entitled to receipt and the amount can be measured with reasonable certainty. 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.

Expenditure

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and is recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation to pay. Expenditure has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to that category.

Costs of activities in furtherance of the charity’s objectives include staff costs. Support costs are those costs incurred indirectly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity and include the costs of running the office and administration.

Governance costs are those incurred in connection with compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.

Tangible fixed assets

The cost of tangible fixed assets is written off over their expected useful economic lives, on a straight line basis, as follows:

Freehold buildings - over 50 years Church Centre ramp - over 20 years Office and computer equipment - over 5 years

Taxation

The charity is not liable to tax on its activities for the period.

Fund accounting

Funds held by the charity are:

(a) Unrestricted general funds – these are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objects at the discretion of the trustees.
(b) Designated funds – comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes.

Notes forming part of the financial statements for the period ended 31 March 2022 (Continued)

(c) Restricted funds – these are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions apply when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
