## **Structure, Governance, and Management of the Trust** 

The method of governance in this charity is by Trust Deed, and it operates as a charitable trust. New trustees are appointed following agreement between the existing trustees. 

The trust supports the aims of Without Walls, which is a church situated in Stanton-underBardon (based at the charity’s principal address). It seeks to further the Christian gospel in the surrounding communities in which it is situated; that is mainly the North-West Leicestershire and Hinckley and Bosworth administrative districts. The church has a spiritual leadership, with the trustees working alongside the leadership in carrying out the vision for how the church should move forward. 

The church is one of a group of churches which relate to an organisation called ‘Together’ based at Nettle Hill, Ansty, near Coventry. Together Ministries provides apostolic oversight and guidance for the church leadership and provides facilities for teaching, training, and discussion all of which benefit those church leaders who have this distinct relationship with Together Ministries. Without Walls charity itself is small, with a low financial risk. It does not currently undertake financial investments and aims to ensure that there are always funds available in the current account at the end of each month so that it meets all regular commitments. Any grants obtained are specifically used for the purpose for which they were given and are clearly seen in the charity’s accounts. 

Both the Charity Leader and the Treasurer are given access to the charity’s bank account. All transactions (both receipts and payments) are carefully monitored and promptly recorded in the charity’s accounts. The church uses a computer software package for the church accounts, and this has resulted in a greater ability to produce useful reports, both for internal use as well as providing monitoring information for external grant funders. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

The charity is concerned with the advancement of the Christian faith. This includes the proclamation of the Christian gospel, the teaching of Christian doctrine, and the pastoral care of Christians within the church community. Furthermore, the church is committed to the relief of persons who are in need, hardship, and distress, and are aged or sick. The charity runs activities in five administrative districts in Leicestershire, although is more heavily involved in the Hinckley and Bosworth area (where its building is situated) and the adjoining district of North-West Leicestershire.  Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. 

## **Summary of the Main Activities undertaken for the public benefit** 

Throughout the period of this report, the church has been able to exercise its charitable functions in several different ways. These are described in more detail below: 

Regular Sunday public worship has always been a cornerstone of Without Walls Christian Fellowship, from its inception until the present day. The church meets on a Sunday in its building in Stanton-under-Bardon, thus continuing to meet its primary function of establishing church members in the faith, through meeting and praying together, and bible study. Pastoral care has also been maintained throughout the period.

## **Annual Report and Financial Statements For the year ended 31 March 2024** 

The charity has continued to remain vigilant in respect of the relief of hardship both locally and abroad. The charity has maintained its regular giving to the Help International charity which provides financial support to children suffering the effects of hardship in a foreign nation. The church also continues to make regular financial donations to the same charity with the aim of helping widows in hardship. Regular giving to a local Leicestershire foodbank has also continued. 

Two of the charity’s key projects, the singing café and community lunch party projects, have continued and are growing in influence. Both these community projects, which come under the overarching Thrive initiative, seek to improve the day-to-day wellbeing of those facing a variety of physical and mental health challenges. By providing the singing cafes and the lunch parties, the charity aims to support vulnerable people who would benefit from being in a community setting.  A more detailed explanation of the work of Thrive, together with a picture gallery, can be found at www.thrivewithus.org.uk. 

The ’Singing cafes’ are the vehicle for providing weekly support for people who are, primarily, suffering from a wide variety of mental health issues, including dementia, and are delivered at a variety of public amenities in Leicestershire. The trustees are keen to provide a service which is open to everyone, and wish to emphasize that the activity is therefore fully inclusive. These are currently based in libraries in Coalville, Melton Mowbray, Ashby-de-la-Zouch and Wigston. They are also located at Shepshed Methodist Church and at the Salvation Army church, Loughborough. The church has also been able to develop a similar project in Alfreton, Derbyshire, by working with a local church, which also belongs to the Together group of churches. This ‘café’ opened its doors during 2022. 

The monthly Community lunch parties project, based at the church building in Stanton-underBardon, and designed to meet the needs of lonely, isolated and vulnerable people, had become firmly established before the advent of the pandemic. This has continued to expand in influence. The church has made the decision to bring the time of these gatherings forward to 1PM and redesignating them community lunch parties. This is to reflect the age of our visitors, who would be more willing to attend an afternoon event, rather than one which runs into the evening. Many who do attend have been part of the project for a number of years and have built up strong friendships with others. This all adds to the general sense of wellbeing present at the event. 

The Thrive project embraces all the activities which the charity undertakes to deliver and therefore is the overarching project for the charity. The project became more clearly defined and developed as a response to the Covid pandemic. Several activities, which were started at the time have been retained and are fully integrated into this project; these include home visiting for social and practical support, transport for medical appointments, and ‘zoom’ singing café sessions. 

More detail is given in the Achievement and Performance section of this report. 

The trustees believe that the above activities are in accordance with the guidance given by the Charity Commission.

## **Achievements and Performance** 

As stated above, the charity remains committed to its work with people who suffer from various forms of dementia and those who suffer generally with poor mental health. This initiative, called ‘The Singing Café’ is undertaken by the charity leader, and regular volunteers, one of whom is a member of Without Walls church, whilst others are drawn from the local communities. The church also provides occasional volunteer support for some of its cafes, and has engaged additional sessional work support to both help with the running of the cafes as required and also provide technical support to ensure the smooth running of the project. 

A vital key to these sessions is the strong sense of inclusion and community that the workers help to build as each person gets to know the other members of the group. Another key component is the singing of songs together, particularly songs which the participant would have heard or sung themselves when they were younger. This has a positive beneficial effect on the brain, thus improving the person’s everyday functioning. 

Following the introduction of the original ‘tea party’ initiative to help meet the needs of lonely, isolated and vulnerable people in 2018/19, the charity has firmly established this as a monthly event in the church building for the benefit of the above groups of people. This has quickly grown and has become very successful over the relatively short time that it has been running. Enduring friendships have been formed both within the group and with church members. There is a growing sense of belonging and community within the group and this aspect is very rewarding to see. Many who come along to this event also participate in one or more of the singing café meetings, thus providing substantial ‘cross over’ between the two projects. This networking helps to build a strong sense of community across the projects. 

The Trustees are extremely grateful to all those funders, whose help has enabled the Thrive project to flourish. Firstly, during the reporting period, the charity has received several grants under its Thrive ‘umbrella’, with the potential to benefit any of the charitable activities in which we are engaged. These have been provided by the following funders: The Allen Lane Foundation, the Maud Ellington Trust, the Marsh Charitable Trust, the Corah Foundation, the North-West Leicestershire District Council (Mental health and Wellbeing grant, and the Zero carbon grant), the LLR Integrated Care Board (for the Mental health and Wellbeing grant), the LRCF Hinckley Park Community Fund, Souter Foundation, and finally The Albert Hunt Foundation. The Trust wish to express its thanks to each of these funders, many of whom have provided invaluable support on more than on one occasion. 

Several grants were received during the reporting period, specifically for use in the community lunch party initiative: the funders were the Carlton Hayes Mental Health charity, Tesco (Community grant), the Asda Foundation, and the Lottery Community Fund. Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council provided the Warm Welcome Provision grant to assist with lunch parties, with targeted help towards energy costs. The charity trustees wish to express their thanks to the above funders, who have enabled this valuable project to continue. 

The charity also received a number of grants specifically for the singing café initiative: the funders were the Intelligent Energy Charitable Trust ( for the cafés within the Charnwood Borough Council area), Charnwood Borough Council ( for the cafes within that area), Melton Mowbray Building Society Foundation ( for the Melton singing café), Hillards Trust ( for the Alfreton café), Ladbrokes’s Coral Trust, Archer Trust, Melton Mowbray Lions (donation to the Melton café), D’Oyly Carte Trust, and the John  Lambert charity ( for the Shepshed singing café). These grants are much appreciated and make a significant difference in being able to maintain the cafes in their various locations across the county of Leicestershire and Derbyshire.

The following grants were given or used for specific purposes: The Benefact Trust and the Leicestershire Historic Churches Trust gave grants towards the provision of a new Disabled Toilet facility, The Blakemore Foundation (2 donations put towards the Christmas Lunch Party), and the Screwfix Foundation (towards the provision of a new fire alarm system). All these grants are much appreciated by the Trustees. 

The church has continued in its efforts to making its building available and accessible to the public both in Stanton-under-Bardon and further afield. Different groups have hired part of the building for a season; the multi-purpose room at the rear of the building has been used on occasion for band practice. The building has also been hired out for private functions and parties on a number of occasions. Improvements to the building have steadily been made in the last 10 years, which the Trustees hope will encourage individuals and groups to make more use of the building. Work has been done to improve the disabled access in the building. For example, work was completed on the creation of a wheelchair external access at the rear of the building during 2022. Work to provide a disabled W.C. facility has now been completed and work is underway to provide a second disabled W.C. facility with shower. All the above work has been possible through grant aid provided by Hinckley and Bosworth Borough Council for which the trustees are extremely grateful. In addition, the charity has been able to make use of the gift aid provided by HMRC in undertaking this building project. 

Following on from the success of the church ‘Funday’ in 2022, the church again organised a ‘Fun day’ for the local community in 2023. The church hosted a community lunch inside the building, whilst volunteers ran several stalls and games outside the building. The highlight of the event was undoubtedly the wooden ‘Starship’ on the front lawn. The structure was built large enough for children to climb onto it and was extremely popular, particularly with families with small children. As in the previous year, this event proved popular with the community and raised the profile of the church in the relatively small village of Stanton-under-Bardon. 

The charity has seen increased collaboration with other groups and organisations during the reporting period. A number of sessions called ‘love to move’ have continued in some of the cafes. These sessions are led by a professional, trained in movement for the elderly, and follow immediately after the café singing sessions. The introduction of these sessions has added an exciting new dimension to the experience of the café users and is designed to have a beneficial effect on both their physical and mental health. Good relationships with the local primary school in Stanton-under-Bardon have continued, and an exciting new connection has been made with other primary schools in North-West Leicestershire. In one instance, this involved a group of children from a school being invited to one of the Coalville café sessions in the district. The children were able to experience the session for themselves and learn more about mental health and disability along the way: this will have helped the children in their understanding, thus alleviating any fears or anxiety that they might have had previously about mental health issues and disability. A new collaboration between the Shepshed café and Belton primary school has commenced, with a visit by the children to the café at Christmas, 2023. 

The trustees are keen to ensure that those who deliver the service are appropriately trained: in this case, the charity leader now has a level 2 certificate in suicide and self- harm awareness, and a level 2 diploma in dementia care.  In addition, some volunteers have been trained in the basic skills for suicide awareness and general mental health awareness. In February, 2024, the church leaders and two of the church members undertook an Adult Mental Health Awareness course. The charity is now recognised as being a ‘mental health friendly’ organisation, thus offering an opportunity for those people seeking help in this area to obtain advice and assistance if they visit us at our building. We are also recognised as being a ’warm space’ building, where people can gather safely and enjoy each other’s company as well as take refreshments in a heated environment.

## **Annual Report and Financial Statements For the year ended 31 March 2024** 

The charity has very recently commenced a new initiative by joining Fareshare, a major UK charitable organisation which undertakes food redistribution to assist those who are struggling to afford adequate food for themselves and their families. In recent times, the charity has received a weekly amount of unwanted fresh food from a major supermarket and has started to promote this venture by word of mouth and by advertising in the village of Stanton where the church building is situated. The trustees are hoping that through this venture, more connections will be made locally as people come into the building to collect food. Distribution of this food is also underway through the Community Lunches which take place in the building. Following on from this initiative, the charity leader is currently considering the possibility of running courses which are designed to help people learn cooking skills and using simple maths to learn how to weigh ingredients. 

Volunteers play a key part in helping to run the projects: these come from both Without Walls church itself, and those living in the local communities who have decided to join us. The Trustees are pleased to note that there has been an increase in volunteers in some of the singing cafes but recognise that more volunteers, particularly in those cafes which are bigger in size, would be extremely helpful. 

The church still recognises the importance of building strong links with other church leaders and members in the region, and is hopeful that this will continue in some form. 

## **Financial Review** 

The trustees are continually looking at various means to raise funds to support its activities. The trustees have adopted a reserves policy, which is designed to monitor one-off gifts, fundraising activities such as raffles, and special events, and place the proceeds in a deposit account. This reporting period in particular has been challenging, however, in terms of ensuring that the charity receives sufficient income to maintain its current activities. This became more difficult in the first few months of 2024, when grant income declined. However, in more recent months, there has been an upturn, including grant awards of substantial amounts, which has mitigated the pressure on the charity finances. During this period, there has been a need to use the reserves to offset this pressure. However, the trustees are hopeful that the charity has weathered this difficulty and can now look to rebuilding its reserves. 

There is always a minimum amount left in the current account to cover contingencies. Regular monitoring of the church’s funds is undertaken with trustees always being available to discuss any issues arising.  All grants given with a specific purpose by a funder are carefully monitored in the accounts to ensure that they are only used for that purpose. There has been no deficit in the current account throughout this reporting period. 

Tithes and offerings given by church members continue to be an important part of the charity’s income, as is rental income received throughout the period. Whilst donations from singing café guests had substantially declined due to the pandemic forcing closure of the libraries, this has now resumed and is an important element of the charity finances. Full use has been made of the HMRC Gift Aid and Small Donations scheme. 

As reported above, the charity has again received a significant amount of its income from grants for use in the singing café and community lunch party projects. The trustees believe that these resources have helped the church to carry out its missional aims. 

The trustees recognise that the receipt of grants may become more challenging as time goes on, and are mindful that they will need to be increasingly resourceful. The current ‘cost of living’ issue and dealing with the impact of climate change are high on the national agenda, and the trustees will need to look at ways to provide potential local solutions, thus attracting grant aid in this way. Corporate sponsorship will also be an avenue to thoroughly explore as the charity moves forward with its plans to expand its work.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Without Walls Christian Fellowship** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Without Walls Christian Fellowship for the year ended 31 March 2024, which are set out on pages 10 to 17. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination.  I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

(1) accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

(2) that accounts do not accord with those records; or 

(3) that accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than the requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

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.

* Thrive funding encompasses Thrive, Singing Café and the Community Lunch Project.  Where funding is specifically received for Singing Café or Community Lunch Parties these are allocated to that project.  If funds are for Thrive generally they are included here, with an understanding that funds can be used on any of the 3 projects. At the year end any deficit of spend within Singing Café or Community Lunch Projects are recorded as 'transfers' between projects, and not transfers between funds.
