NEW COMMUNITY CHURCH S E LONDON (REGISTERED NUMBER: 05854630)
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2022
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st August 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 Objectives and aims
The objectives of the Charity, in accordance with the Memorandum of Association, are:-
- The advancement of the Christian faith; and
- The furtherance of the work of the Charity by the advancement of such other charitable purposes as the Trustees shall from time to time decide.
Public benefit
The Trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on providing public benefit. We believe that the impact of the Christian faith should reach far beyond the four walls of the church. The Christian faith is not just good news for our members, but also for all those around us. We believe the message of Jesus has the power to transform people's whole lives for good, both spiritually and practically. Because we believe in a God who loves all people unconditionally we welcome everyone who would wish to join one of our services, courses or groups. The services we provide are of benefit to all who access them, regardless of whether they go on to become Christians themselves. We believe that providing such services are of benefit to the individual and to society as a whole.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2022
STRATEGIC REPORT Achievement and performance
Charitable activities
Church Venues
Having met in one location after the lockdown was lifted, we relaunched all of our Sunday meetings at the start of October 2021. The venue we had hired for our Welling meeting was no longer available, so we linked our Welling and Eltham congregations together, which met in Eltham. We also started a mid week meeting for five months, which was designed to help transition those struggling to come back to the larger Sunday meetings after covid. The church has continued to grow and begin to return to pre-pandemic numbers.
Ministries
Oasis / Canopy
Canopy was opened in September 2021, a group for babies and toddlers, targeting families that really needed support through referrals from frontline professionals and Love Bexley (see below). As the year progressed it became clear we could have a greater impact in the community if we opened the group up and utilised the newly completed coffee bar. In July 2022 plans were made to launch a Play Cafe in September 2022, which would serve the families within the community in a much better way.
Youth
The youth met weekly during this time for youth community which was held on Tuesday nights. The mentoring scheme for one to one discipleship continued and they also met regularly for socials and fun nights. In the Winter term a number of the youth got baptised in Eltham which was exciting and stirred faith. Newday was a huge highlight during the summer where 53 teenagers went to Norfolk for the festival in August. As well as having fun, building relationships and enjoying the unique experience that camping with 1000's of other young people brings, a significant number encountered God and the fruit of these encounters is still evident in their lives.
Students
This year was focused on rebuilding New Community Church's relationship with the local universities following Covid. A number of events were run including Try Church, Tea and Doughnuts and attending the freshers fairs at Rose Bruford and the Avery Hill campus of Greenwich University.
Social Action
Love Bexley
This year we successfully helped out 60 families with items that included double and single beds with mattresses, wardrobes, cots, clothes for children 0-10, table and chairs. After a very generous donation we were also able to buy white goods such as cookers and fridge freezers and have them delivered to homes. In February we launched a webpage updating weekly the items that were needed to encourage more people to be involved in both sourcing and delivering the items required.
Christmas Presents
In December we continued our partnership with three local organisations by providing Christmas presents that could be donated to families in need. 60 presents were donated to Solace who gave them to children at their annual Christmas party, 25 to Safe Families which were distributed to families supported by Safe Families in the area and 15 to Angel Tree which were given to children of Fathers who are in prison.
Foodbank
Bexley Foodbank, part of The Trussell Trust, operates a distribution centre from New Community Church. 414 food vouchers were fulfilled, which was over 120 more than the previous year. The food provided fed 598 adults and 422 children. As a church we donated 967 kg of food, an increase of over 750 kg. The Foodbank also saw an increase in the number of volunteers from both New Community Church and the local community.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2022
External Support
As a church, we support three main charities.
Power the Fight exists to empower communities to end youth violence by working with young people, families, schools, local authorities, faith groups and community organisations who want to be equipped to engage with youth violence issues in their context.
Fusion is committed to championing a worldwide student movement through equipping students and preparing them for a life of mission and discipleship at University.
The John 3:16 Trust exists to help to see the gospel preached, the sick healed, the faith defended, the saints equipped, believers taught an d to write books in such a way as to advance the Christian faith.
Financial review
Financial position
The Charity derives the majority of its income from voluntary donations and associated income tax recovery in respect of "gift aid" donations. During this accounting period, 95 percent of income came from this source and a further 5 percent of income came from non-budgeted activity and interest on cash deposits.
Reserves policy
The Trustees' Reserves Policy is to hold reserves of three months' turnover to be prudent. During this accounting period reserves were consistently in excess of this amount, and at year end unrestricted reserves were £1,325,564.
The Trustees seek to ensure that funds are unrestricted, where possible. This helps ensure that funds can be spent where they are most needed. The Trustees take into account the reserves policy in all decisions associated with budgeting and spending.
Designated reserves of £485,438 represent the acquisition and development cost of the premises of the charity, 24 Station Road, reducing on an annual basis through related depreciation. The year-end balance for total designated reserves was £551,749.
Key Management remuneration
The total remuneration for Key management personnel was £253,025.
Impact on finances
Grants
Gifts to external organisations and individuals are considered by the Elders and Trustees on the basis of need and fulfilment of charitable objectives. There is no upper limit of support.
Future plans
In July 2022 we installed a Coffee bar in our downstairs space with a view of it benefiting the community. Soon after with the cost of living increases and the need for more warm spaces it became a key area of our building. We have a number of regular events run in the coffee bar including a weekly Play Cafe, which provides a space with a variety of soft play, craft, singing and story time, with free use of baby weighing scales. There is a dedicated time for students and youth to use the coffee bar and serve the local community. We also opened on a Wednesday to create a warm space as well as a place for people to work from.
The Local Ecumenical Partnership agreement discussions are still ongoing with the Church of England. As well as continuing to use the building for Christian mission and the benefit of the local community, this agreement will mean we take on the day to day finances and running of St Andrews in Albany Park and are still hopeful that the formal agreement will be signed soon.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of New Community Church S E London ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31st August 2022.
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').
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 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 your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales 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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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
-
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2022
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The Trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
| Freehold property | - Straight line over 25 years |
|---|---|
| Fixtures and fittings | - Straight line over 10 years |
| Computer equipment | - Straight line over 4 years |
Taxation
The Charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 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 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.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

Going concern
The directors consider that there are no material uncertainties about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The directors consider that COVID-19 will not have a significant impact on the company's ability to continue trading. Income from trading activities is expected to reduce due to the lockdown conditions and steps are being taken to make cost savings. The directors regard any impact to be short term rather than affecting the company's ability to continue as a going concern. There are no material uncertainties affecting the current year's accounts.
