Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2023
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 31 March 2023. 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 Review of the year
As we have completed our first full year under our new church name of Gateway Church Fareham under the leadership of Senior Pastors Tim and Danni Lockwood and Site Pastors Martin and Gabi Doyle, we have continued to see growth in both the attendance to the church and in our outreach and activities to the local community.
We are grateful for the time and dedication of the church staff, Leadership Team and our volunteers who have enabled the Charity to fulfil its charitable objectives during the year.
The Trustees are happy that the charity has continued to meet the objectives of the charity.
Objectives of the charity
The Charity is governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association, in which its objectives are set out. The Charity has continued to proclaim and teach the Christian Gospel and care for people in the community of Fareham in line with our charitable Objects.
Objectives:
-
To advance the Christian Faith, in accordance with the (evangelical) Statement of Beliefs, in the Solent region and in other parts of the United Kingdom or the World as the trustees of the charity think fit;
-
To fulfil such other purposes which are exclusively charitable according to the Law of England and Wales and are connected with the charitable work of the Charity;
-
To relieve persons who are in conditions of need or hardship or who are aged or sick and to relieve the distress caused thereby in the said location, and in other parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the trustees think fit.
The policy of the Charity continues to be to seek financial support to continue to pursue the objectives above. When planning the activities for the year, the Trustees have considered the Commission's guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Significant activities Activities & Performance
In 2022 and into 2023, the church has continued to grow and increase our paid staff. We have seen a steady stream of newcomers joining us at our Sunday meetings. We also continue to see regular use of our building by local organisations, which provides valuable income to the financial health of the charity.
Even though we saw churn on our church attendance and therefore financial giving, we in turn saw that with newcomers and new giving we maintained a surplus monthly budget and overall maintained a healthy financial balance sheet. As a result, we have continued to explore new ways of serving and reaching out to our local community and seeking to advance the Christian faith. We have also maintained our weekly online presence by live streaming our Sunday morning meetings.
As we continued to develop our wider church activities, we took the opportunity to employ a part time Youth Worker and Children's Worker. Both positions had previously been fulfilled by volunteers and the Trustees felt it the right time to recognise the time and effort put in and make these two new paid positions.
In the latter part of the year our Operations Manager and Finance Administrator gave notice of their intention to step down from their employment with the charity. These resignations took place while we were doing an independent business review of the church's operations, so we took the opportunity to review the structure of the office and church administration activities. While these changes were not completed in this financial year, we took the decision to employ a part time Operations Manager role and outsource our financial admin to a third-party company. This has enabled us to streamline some of the administration activities and make more efficient use of our finances to the front-line activities of the charity.
We see this review and the employment changes an initial step towards modernising how we operate as a charity and making better use of the resources available to us.
To highlight the hard work and dedication of our staff and volunteers in their work for the charity, some of the church activities are listed below:
Our newly established Gateway Academy has run three courses during the year, aimed at introducing and advancing the Christian faith: the Alpha Course, Freedom in Christ and the Experiencing God course.
In addition to Sunday morning kids church, a wide range of activities have been provided by our Children's worker; these include 'Praise Parties', a family picnic in the woods, games at the local leisure centre and a summer holiday club. New initiatives this year include a weekly music session for preschool children called Music Makers and the craft based 'Messy Church'.
A group of between 10 and 15 youth met most Sunday mornings for sessions that included bible studies, worship and games. In addition, a group of 6 to 10 young people met together on Friday nights for 'Chill Church' socials and activities such as an 'Adventure bonfire', Christmas sleepover, pizza making night, games and worship evenings. The group also took part in High Tide youth events organised through 'Churches together in Fareham', hosting 2 of the sessions.
During the course of the year, we have continued to hold joint events with the Gateway Waterside church. These include several joint Sunday morning services with a guest speaker, ladies' breakfasts, a pastors retreat and regular young adults' socials.
Although the church is highly dependent on its volunteers to fulfil these objectives the total value of the volunteer's input has not been quantified.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
We are continuing to support a range of local, national and international charities which include:
-
Albania
-
The church continues to financially support Nick and Sarah Ann Wakeley, who through their charitable work promote the Christian faith and relieve hardship due to poverty and illness.
-
India
-
Gateway Church Fareham's primary contact is Basil de Souza. Many church members help to provide education and support of young people from the slums through the charity Jeevan Asha. Also, the church supports School of Ministry training of pastors.
-
Sierra Leone
-
Practical Tools Initiative is a charity created by church member James Fallah-Williams, to relieve poverty and hardship in deprived post-war communities. James is based in our offices. The charity collects, refurbishes and sends used tools, learning materials and mobility aids to Sierra Leone, which are used for education, to create employment and relieve hardship among disabled people, single mothers and young offenders. Gateway Church Fareham continues to provide financial support to this initiative in support of the ongoing projects, such as running a school for children and funding projects to provide clean water and sanitation facilities.
Alongside the regular church meetings and activities, we continue to support community events throughout the year and opened the Foyer area of the building at Easter, Remembrance Sunday & the Fareham Christmas Light Switch On event, providing drinks and snacks to people attending events or passing by the building. We also used the main hall to run a joint churches Children's week during the school summer holidays. We have also started to run youth events during the evenings to provide a place where they can hang out and build relationships together.
As we look to the future, we continue to explore ways to utilise the building for church-based and community-based activities, bringing the two together and demonstrating the love of Christ to Fareham and wider communities.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Investment policy and objectives
In order to guide the investment strategy the board of Trustees has adopted the following objectives:
-
To protect a steady annual income which allows the support of an equivalent level of activity of the Charity over the long term
-
To follow an investment policy designed to provide for a level of income that matches inflation and protects the real value of capital over the long term
-
To follow a policy, which provides high security, with the highest achievable total return commensurate with the ethical guidelines of the Church of England.
Income and Reserves
Operational income for the year was £203,620 (2022: £209,415), derived from donations, and room hire income. This represents an decrease of £5,795 compared to the previous year. Recovery from lockdown restrictions the previous year and the ongoing impact of coming out of the pandemic has seen a stabilisation of room hire, albeit at a lower level of activity compared to pre-pandemic. We don't anticipate that we will return to pre-pandemic levels of income room hire, however, we see this as an opportunity to release the building for further church-based and community activities.
The trustees are happy that the charity has come through this year on a sound financial footing and have maintained our reserves in accordance with our reserves policy.
Reserves policy
The charity held unrestricted reserves of £528,809 and restricted reserves of £79,221 at 31 March 2023
The Trustees have resolved to establish reserves to provide for future activities and to mitigate future risks. The Trustees wide powers of investment are carried out within the context of the statement of investment principles set out above. The policy on reserves is that the existing assets are retained to produce income, which is wholly utilised to support existing activities. A minimum level of reserves is set at two months' worth of expenses.
