DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
The directors present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Act 2006 and "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
The objects of the charity are:
-
To advance the Christian faith in accordance with the statement of faith in such ways and in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the directors from time to time may think fit.
-
To relieve sickness and financial hardship and to promote and preserve good health by the provision of funds, goods or services of any kind including through the provision of counselling and support in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the directors from time to time think fit.
-
To advance education in such ways and in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the directors from time to time may think fit.
The directors have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit in deciding what activities the charity should undertake and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. The charity undertakes a number of activities in order to achieve these objectives which are summarised below.
In furtherance of the objects of Bromley Christian Centre (BCC), referred to above, activities described below were pursued during the year under review.
BCC - The Church a local church in the borough of Bromley.
BCC – Community covers our social action and community outreach, helping to care for those who have fallen on hard times.
BCC – The Ark Pre-School and Daycare provides Ofsted registered sessional care for 2 to 5 year olds.
Pebbles – our baby and toddler group provides a meeting place for a growing number of mums and carers from
the area around the church.
People regularly attending BCC, as well as visitors, are encouraged to give financially to projects, humanitarian needs and other activities consistent with the aims and objectives of our church. These range in size from oneoff gift initiatives to larger, long-term programmes locally here in the UK and abroad. Similarly, the Board will also make additional donations from our general funds, as the directors decide from time to time.
In common with many churches the activities are heavily reliant on the services of volunteers in addition to any interns and those on placement. The directors are very grateful to all those who give of their time freely in supporting the activities described above.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Achievements and performance
BCC – The Church
-
We adopted a new “hybrid” approach to our services – with in-person gatherings (which grew from strength to strength throughout the year as the pandemic measures were relaxed), running alongside fully streamed live services for those who were still nervous, or unable to attend in person. Furthermore, fully recorded services were also made available to watch “on-demand”, throughout the week, which has expanded our reach and grown our church community. In particular we have noticed the number of people joining BCC from outside of Bromley Borough, around the UK from Wales to the North of England, plus numerous watching from overseas, including regular viewers in the US, Australia, South Africa, South America, Europe, India and Asia.
-
We ran multiple online Alpha courses, throughout the year which were well attended and resulted in both people coming to faith and being strengthened in their faith. Life groups met throughout the year to provide support and care for all members, and we met for weekly prayer meetings and quarterly prayer and fasting (one week per quarter).
-
A successful Christmas Fayre and Carols event was run in December.
Children & Youth
-
For the first half of the year, we continued to provide weekly Sunday activities via the website – with prerecorded lessons, talks plus games and activities to engage the youth, children and families.
-
We relaunched a live kid’s program in the summer and attendance numbers have steadily grown throughout the year.
-
DARING Youth resumed weekly meetings and ran a very successful Youth Summer camp.
-
Pebbles (carer and toddler group) re-started in September and numbers returned quickly to prepandemic levels, providing a vital service to parents and carers in the community.
Ark Pre-School
- The Ark underwent a degree of transition during the year, with a new management team starting in September. The Ark continues to provide an excellent Pre-School resource and facility to the community and the new team have settled in very well.
BCC – Community
-
We continue to be a partner of the TBB Food Partnership (that was launched during the first year of the pandemic) and receive weekly food donations collected from a central hub in Orpington and distributed throughout the borough.
-
In Sept/Oct we received donations from over 10 local schools’ harvest festivals and BCC collected and shared these donations amongst the whole TBB partnership, with an estimated value of over £12,000 worth of food.
-
COOK – very generously provided frozen meals each week for us to distribute, and The Sponge
-
Kitchens also continued to provide a weekly donation of bread.
-
The Bromley Christians Against Poverty (CAP) Partnership continues to grow from strength to strength, with multiple clients becoming debt free during the year. The Debt Centre Manager continues to be employed through BCC.
-
Haven Café, our mental wellbeing support group, relaunched in the summer and members are returning to get the very important support and interaction they need to combat anxiety and isolation.
Wider impact
- Pastor Mark Wiltshire continued in his roll as Chairman of AoG GB Board of Directors. This is an unpaid and voluntary roll which is principally undertaken in Pastor Mark’s own time and we see the significant benefits of the work done to stabilise and strengthen the movement that we are part of.
Financial review
The directors report a surplus for the year on unrestricted funds (including designated funds) after transfers of £41,671 (2020- £41,983). The main source of incoming resources has been gifts and offerings received from Church members together with gift aid tax recovered. The resources available are applied in fulfilling the objects and carrying on activities described in this report.

BROMLEY CHRISTIAN CENTRE
DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six month's expenditure. The directors considers that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.
Three month's expenditure on unrestricted funds excluding designated funds amounts to approximately £111,000. Reserves on unrestricted funds amounted to £1,740,686 of which £368,974 were held as net current assets. None of these reserves are held in designated funds and this represents a little over nine month's unrestricted fund expenditure after deducting designated fund spending which in the current climate is not considered excessive.
Reference and administrative information is provided on the page following the cover sheet.
Assessment of risks
The directors have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. We are in a financially healthy and stable position. We have excellent weekly attendance (which has grown over the past 3 years) and financial support from our partners. Our pre-school is also functioning very effectively and contributes surplus income each year. However, we see two specific areas of most significant risk: People and Premises.
People: by this we mean key staff. While we are not reliant on any one member of staff, if a number of key staff were all to leave at once, we recognise it would pose a short-term risk. We have tried to mitigate against this by equipping, training and giving regular opportunities to participate to the wider staff and volunteer teams. The way we operate means that we have no single point of failure amongst key staff – with all areas operating under team structures with multiple team leaders in place. Furthermore, our Senior Leadership team provide excellent support for the team and have both expertise and capacity to assist if needed.
Premises: Our existing site is ageing, it has regular maintenance issues and we are also starting to out-grow it. The property that runs adjacent to our auditorium became available in late 2020 and the Directors took the decision to purchase it with completion occurring in March 2021. We will be working with a firm of architects to do a feasibility study of the whole site, with a desire to extend or rebuild our facilities so that they are fit for purpose.
Plans for the future
BCC – The Church
-
We plan to continue running a hybrid church setup, with in-person and live/hosted/streamed services also being available. A second Sunday morning live service will be added.
-
We continue to plan a more robust syllabus of courses and training that we can deliver through our BCC Academy (both in person and online) to enable us to equip people for personal and corporate ministry.
-
We aim to continue to multiply the number of Small Groups/Life Groups with a focus on training leaders to run the groups.
-
We will look to expand our Children and Youth activities to provide additional community impact.
BCC – Community
-
The Bromley CAP Partnership became a registered CIO during 2020, to enable it to access further opportunities for raising finances and broadening its partnership base. Bromley CAP will also investigate the potential for employing a second (part-time) member of staff to support this ministry.
-
Our foodbank will continue to partner with TBB. We would like to maintain the excellent relationships we have with the schools who donate Harvest festival produce to the foodbank, but with a greater focus on working with the schools and children and linking them with our children’s, youth and family programmes.
-
Haven Café will be considering adding new initiatives to help their members.
BCC – The Ark
-
We would like to investigate expanding the services the Ark offers, including additional hours, providing full day care and increase attendance numbers. In order to do this we will need to increase the size of our facility so this will become a medium, rather than short-term objective.
-

BROMLEY CHRISTIAN CENTRE
DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
BCC – Staff & volunteers
-
We recognise that growing a healthy volunteer base is vital. We will be focussing on helping people find their gifting and then helping to equip them so that they can function well, both within church life but also within the market-place, family and community life. Investing in training and development for staff and volunteers will be key.
-
We would consider offering further intern and placement opportunities, should the right candidates be found.
The site and facilities
-
We will continue to work with a firm of Architects to develop a feasibility plan for the whole site, with a view to extend or rebuild.
-
We will continue to explore site expansion opportunities with our local authority.
Structure, governance and management
The charity is a company limited by guarantee.
The directors who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were: Mark Wiltshire
Robert Thomas Karl Ferguson Fred Adegeye
Directors are appointed and removed by existing directors.
Existing directors of the charity ensure that new directors become familiar with their responsibilities and duties.
None of the directors has any beneficial interest in the company. All of the directors are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up.
The directors are assisted in their day to day activities by heads of various departments who have responsibility for running their own areas.
As a board we are committed to fulfilling the objects of the charity as referred to above. We meet quarterly to discuss all areas that have a significant financial impact, with interim meetings called as appropriate. When it comes to decision-making we would both take a view on the legitimacy of the activity and the financial impact, where we tend on the risk averse side to ensure financial stability.
The directors use a number of tools and factors including payscale.com to benchmark salaries. We look to ensure all staff are within appropriate pay scale ranges. We take inflation into account for annual reviews, along with changes to job descriptions/roles and responsibilities.
The church is in fellowship with the Assemblies of God of Great Britain and Ireland although Bromley Christian Centre itself is independent and makes its own decisions, raises its own funds and both chooses and pays its own staff. The Assemblies of God provides a place of accountability for the Senior Pastor, Mark Wiltshire, and also acts as a support for information, guidance and services.
The directors' report was approved by the Board of Directors.

BROMLEY CHRISTIAN CENTRE
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
The directors, who also act as trustees for the charitable activities of Bromley Christian Centre, are responsible for preparing the Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company Law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK 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 charity will continue in operation.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

BROMLEY CHRISTIAN CENTRE
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE DIRECTORS OF BROMLEY CHRISTIAN CENTRE
I report to the directors on my examination of the financial statements of Bromley Christian Centre (the charity) for the year ended 31 December 2021.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the directors of the charity (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 financial statements of the charity 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 financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & 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 that in any material respect:
-
1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
-
3 the financial statements 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
-
4 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 financial statements to be reached.

BROMLEY CHRISTIAN CENTRE
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Bromley Christian Centre is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 2 Masons Hill, Bromley, Kent, BR2 9HA.
1.1 Accounting convention
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the charity's memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Act 2006 and “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). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
Assets are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.
1.2 Going concern
At the time of approving the accounts, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least a further 12 months. This assessment has been made having regard to the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic. The directors do not anticipate a significant impact on finances and the church has, in any case, substantial unrestricted reserves which it could draw on if this became necessary. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the directors in furtherance of their charitable objectives.
Designated funds comprise funds which have been set aside at the discretion of the directors for specific purposes. The purposes and uses of the designated funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the accounts.
1.4 Incoming resources
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid is recognised at the time of the donation.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.
In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised in these accounts. More information about the contribution of volunteers is provided in the directors' report.

BROMLEY CHRISTIAN CENTRE
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
Assets for distribution are recognised only when distributed. Assets given for use by the charity are recognised when receivable. Stocks of undistributed donated goods are not valued for balance sheet purposes as the directors consider that the cost involved in undertaking a valuation is not justified by the benefits to the users of the accounts in terms of their better understanding the resources available to the charity and to the charity itself from having this financial information.
Grant income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred.
Income received in advance of a specified service it is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met. Such deferrals are included in current liabilities.
1.5 Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Grants for the support of overseas missionaries and Christian workers in the UK are accounted for on the basis of support committed to that relates to the financial year. Expenses allocated to governance costs are those expenses relating to the governance of the charity including the cost of trustee indemnity insurance, directors' meetings, legal expenses not directly attributable to an activity and amounts payable to the charity's independent examiner.
Direct costs of an activity are allocated to that activity. Direct charitable expenditure and support costs which relate to more than one activity have been allocated on the basis of the percentage use of facilities. The percentage use has been estimated by reference to the time and area of the premises occupied by the activity.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost (or market value at the date of transfer for assets which were transferred from The Bromley Christian Centre trust) and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and impairment losses. The value of land included in freehold land and buildings is taken to be 50% of cost, or the value transferred from The Bromley Christian Centre trust, for accounting purposes. Assets costing less than £500 are written off in the period in which the expenditure is incurred. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:
| Land and buildings | 2% straight line on buildings |
|---|---|
| Fixtures, fittings & equipment | 20 - 33.3% straight line |
| Motor vehicles | 25% reducing balance |
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.7 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
1.9 Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
1.10 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.11 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
1.12 Commitments for future expenditure
Other than normal commitments under contracts of employment and short term leases there are no contractual obligations to future expenditure at the balance sheet date. The church supports various missionaries both at home and overseas. The directors regularly review the commitment to missionaries and are confident that those supported would not view their support as an open ended obligation on the part of the church. Where the directors have authorised expenditure which is not yet legally enforceable amounts are set aside into funds designated for the purpose. There were no amounts authorised at 31 December 2021.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

The market value of land and buildings is likely to be considerably higher than the net book value above. However, the directors do not consider it good value for money to pay for a professional valuation as they are functional assets used in the day to day activities of the charity and there are no plans to dispose of them.
14 Financial instruments
The church has no financial instruments measured at amortised cost. All financial instruments are included in current assets or liabilities and are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and have not been discounted.
