TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING DIRECTORS' REPORT)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

The trustees, who are the charity's directors for the purposes of company law, have pleasure in submitting their report and the accounts for the year.

Introduction

Vision Church is a vibrant, multi ethnic and thriving contemporary church with a vision to see lives transformed locally and globally by the love and power of Jesus. Our passion is to continually invest in multiplying disciples and leaders who can make a difference in every area of Society. In addition, we aim to plant churches and carry out social and community action projects geared to reaching out and helping to transform people and places in a variety of practical ways, whilst also looking to help and bless those in other nations.

Objects of the charity

The charity is a charitable company and is governed by its memorandum and articles of association. The objects of the charity, as set out in the governing document are:

a) the advancement of the Christian faith

b) the relief of persons who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress or who are aged or sick

c) the advancement of education on the basis of Christian principles.

Summary of the charity's main activities and achievements

Introduction & Overview

The last twelve months have continued to be a challenging time for many people due to the rising costs of fuel, utility bills, food and interest rates. In addition our nation experienced two changes of prime minister, the death of our Queen after 70 years on the throne and a war in Ukraine which had global implications. Coming on the back of the corona virus this has combined to create further uncertainty, fear and anxiety amongst many people.

In this context we have sought to bring the life transforming message of the gospel to as many people as possible. The report below gives an overview of our work during the past year with a view to accomplishing our vision, mission and charitable objectives.

Community Engagement and Outreach

Reaching out to serve, support and help local people and communities have been a key part of our ministry since our inception as a church. Our initiatives this year include the following:

a) Food Parcels

Throughout the last 12 months we have continued to reach out and support individuals and families in need with food parcels. In December we were able to supply numerous families with special hampers to brighten up their Christmas. We are grateful to every person who has taken the time to give, visit, serve and support others in this way.

b) Transforming Lives for Good (TLG)

During the last year we had the opportunity to continue partnering with ‘Transforming Lives for Good’ (TLG), an incredible charity who partner with local churches to bring hope and a future to struggling and vulnerable children. Through our partnership with TLG we have been able to serve local families in Leeds, Dewsbury, Brighouse, Huddersfield and Wakefield as well as play a part in helping many others across the UK who were struggling to cover

c) Destination 211

As a church we have been delighted to help with the ongoing ministry of the Destination 211 bus outreach project in Dewsbury. It has been exciting to see so many local mums, teenagers and children coming along each week to find support, connection and hear the good news of Jesus.

d) Police Chaplaincy

Working with the local police to support and care for staff and family members experiencing sickness, death or other stressful situations.

Church Planting

In September 2022 we had the joy of sending out our first church planting team to Sheffield as part of our vision to make disciples, plant churches and see revival across the UK and nations.

TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT CONTINUED

Digital Mission & Ministry

Using a variety of digital technology we seek to connect with, reach and disciple our church, as well as minister to people in the local community and beyond. Daily early morning prayer meetings have continued on zoom in order to help people cultivate their relationship with God and to pray into the fulfilment of the vision that God has given us. These virtual prayer gatherings have also provided a great point of connection for the church family at the beginning of each day.

Our weekly digital service is broadcast to people from around the nation and world, as well as to local people who are sick or housebound. We have also continued to lead online small groups that are reaching, discipling and serving people, both nationally and internationally.

Children, Youth and Students

Reaching and discipling children and young people have always been a high priority for us at Vision Church. At the beginning of the year we felt the need to bring a fresh approach to our children and teens groups and relaunched new teams, who have worked especially hard to connect with our younger generations. Our heart is to provide opportunities for them to engage and grow in their relationship with God and one another, as well as impart vision for reaching young people outside the church through both face to face and online ministry.

This last year we also placed a renewed focus on reaching, connecting and discipling students coming to the various universities in our city. As a result we have had the privilege of welcoming many new students from both the UK and other nations into our church family and serving them in their relationship and journey with God.

Training and Discipleship

‘Life Class’ foundations training together with our small groups continue to be at the centre of our vision to raise up passionate disciples of Jesus who can multiply more disciples, impact generations and make a difference in our world. Our desire is to continue providing every person with the discipleship and training they need to grow and thrive in their life and purpose in Christ, both online and in person.

Global Mission and Transformation

As part of our vision for world mission and desire to help those in need throughout the UK and other nations we have partnered with the following international projects that are transforming lives and families around the world:

  1. MCI Church (Colombia) - Providing food parcels to families in need in Colombia.

  2. Love Linn (Sweden & India) - Supporting children and families from the slums of India who are part of a schools program to educate and empower them.

  3. Mahlasedi Foundation (South Africa) - Supporting children, young people and families from the townships of South 4. The Middle East - Partnering with Global Catalytic Ministries as they help fellow disciples and churches who are suffering persecution and hardship.

  4. Ukraine - Working with local pastors in the nation to provide food, clothing and basic necessities for many people who are struggling to survive due to the on-going crisis with Russia

All these charities, churches and projects are undertaking tremendous work to alleviate poverty, provide education, restore families, end human trafficking and empower children and young people for a greater future. Their work has been critical in helping to support and meet the basic needs of families during the last year. We look forward to continuing to develop fruitful and long term relationships in the coming years.

Closing Appreciation

Finally we would like to close this year end report by expressing our appreciation to everyone in our church family who has gone over and above to love, serve, care for and disciple so many people in the community, both near and far. We are immensely grateful to every single person who has played their part in this incredible work.

We trust this report has given you a window into our progress and achievements during the year ending 2022/23.

In planning the activities the Trustees have applied the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.

TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT CONTINUED

Structure, Governance and Management

Vision Church (formerly New Horizons Group International) ("the charity") is a charitable company limited by guarantee. The company was established under a memorandum of association on 23 April 2007, which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed by its articles of association. The charity's activities are reviewed and directed by the trustees; responsibility for the day to day running of the charity has been delegated to Ian and Julie Nundy who are the church's spiritual leaders.

Any person, being a member of the church who accepts the Statement of Doctrines of the Church, may be appointed to the trusteeship by the charity's existing trustees. Any new trustee is given an introduction to the work of the charity by other trustees and given a copy of the Charity Commission guidelines CC3a and CC10, together with an explanation of the role of a trustee. The trustees have reviewed the adequacy of the charity's current internal controls and are confident that those controls conform to guidelines issued by the Charity Commission.

Financial review

During the year income decreased by £39,158 to £103,264 and expenditure increased by £26,366 to £143,842. As a result the charity has reported a deficit this year of £40,578 (2022: a surplus of £24,946) and the charity's net assets decreased by this amount to £274,911. Net assets comprises principally of the charity's property, which has a carrying value of £250,000, and cash of £27,334.

Reserves policy

The trustees have determined that the charity should aim to hold unrestricted cash of no less than £30,000 (which equates to about three months' of budgeted unrestricted expenditure) so that the charity could continue to operate smoothly should income and / or expenditure vary adversely. At the year end the charity held unrestricted cash of £24,758; this is slightly below the target set by the trustees but nonetheless the trustees are satisfied that the charity can continue to operate comfortably with this level of reserves for the time being.

Key risks and uncertainties

The charity is exposed to various risks - be they operational, financial or reputational. The trustees review the charity's activities regularly to identify significant risks and, where possible, they take appropriate measures to mitigate those

Responsibilities of trustees under company law

The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' annual 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 trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

  1. select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;

  2. observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;

  3. make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

  4. state whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed

and explained in the financial statements; and

  1. prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will

continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company 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 charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Approval

This report, which has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies, was approved by the trustees and signed on their behalf by:

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’).

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

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:

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. 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

  4. 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).

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

1 Statutory Information

The charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee and is incorporated in the United Kingdom. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

2 Accounting Policies

These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the "Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) ("the Charities SORP"), with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102"), with the Companies Act 2006 and with the Charities Act 2011. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as set out in FRS 102.

The principles adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.

a) Going concern

The trustees (who are the charitable company's directors for the purposes of company law) have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular the trustees have considered the charity's forecasts and projections and the possible implications should projected income and / or expenditure vary unexpectedly. The trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

b) Income

Income including investment income is recognised in the period in which the charity becomes entitled to receipt, the amount receivable can be measured with reasonable certainty, and receipt is probable. For the most part, income is generally recognised when it is received. 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.

Income from donations and legacies includes recoverable gift aid, which is recognised when the related donation is received. Gift aid that has not been recovered by the balance sheet date is included as a debtor.

The charity relies on volunteers to carry out many of its activities. However, in accordance with the SORP, the value of these services has not been included in these financial statements as they cannot be reliably measured.

c) Expenditure

Expenditure, including irrecoverable VAT, is recognised when it is incurred or, if earlier, when a legal or constructive obligation for a payment arises provided that it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

The charity makes grants to other institutions and individuals to further its charitable objectives. Grants payable are recognised as constructive obligations arise, which is generally when the charity expresses a commitment to the recipient that can be measured reliably and then only to the extent that any conditions associated with the grant are outside of the control of the charity.

Governance costs, which are included in expenditure on charitable activities but are identified separately in the notes to the accounts, includes costs associated with the independent examination of the financial statements, compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements and any other expenditure incurred on the strategic management of the charity.

d) Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are donations which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors; they include donations received from appeals for specific activities or projects.

Page 8

VISION CHURCH LTD

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

2 Accounting Policies continued

e) Tangible fixed assets

Items purchased or donated for the charity's own use are capitalised when the cost of purchased items, or the fair value of donated items, is more than £1,000 and the item is expected to benefit the charity over more than one accounting period. Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis so as to write down the value of each asset to its estimated residual value (if any) over its expected useful economic life. To achieve this objective the following rates of depreciation are charged:

Freehold land Is not depreciated (because it is not consumed by use) Freehold buildings Over 50 years after taking account of the building's residual value Equipment Over 3 to 7 years Motor vehicles Over 5 years

In the opinion of the trustees, the residual value of the charity's freehold buildings is very high and any cumulative provision for depreciation is believed to be immaterial.

The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment in periods when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

f) Pension scheme arrangements

The charity operates defined contribution pension schemes for its employees. Obligations for contributions to these schemes are recognised as an expense when the liability arises. The assets of these schemes are held separately from those of the charity in independently administered funds.

g) Taxation

The company is a registered charity; it has taken advantage of the various reliefs from taxation available to charities and no tax is payable on the charity's income.

h) Financial instruments

The charity's financial assets and financial liabilities all qualify as basic financial instruments, as defined by FRS102. Except for finance leases, creditors and debtors are measured at their expected settlement value (normally the amount of cash that the charity expects to pay or receive). The charity recognises liabilities for the principal of those finance leases that remains outstanding at the year end (i.e. the liabilities exclude any interest chargeable on the finance leases in future years).

i) Exemption from preparing a cashflow statement

The charity has taken advantage of an exemption conferred by the Charities SORP and has not prepared a cash flow statement.

j) Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement

ln preparing financial statements certain judgements, estimates and assumptions have to be made that affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The annual depreciation charge for property, plant and equipment is sensitive to changes in the estimates for useful economic life and residual value. These estimates are reassessed annually and, when necessary, adjusted to reflect current circumstances.
