TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

Public benefit

The charity acknowledges its requirement to demonstrate clearly that it must have charitable purposes or aims that are for the public benefit. Details of how this has been achieved are detailed elsewhere in the Trustees report. The Trustees confirm that they have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and, in particular, its supplementary public guidance on the advancement of religion for the public benefit.

Grants

It is the policy of the Trustees not to apply for grants that are derived from various forms of gambling, although they would be prepared to consider accepting a grant from another charitable organisation that was in receipt of such funding.

In addition, they are resolved not to accept funding that has conditions attached to it, especially when these conditions may be in conflict with the core beliefs and values of the Charity.

Volunteers

Volunteers are an integral part of the running of the church with it's varied activities during the week and on Sunday's.

Additional details

The charity receives a small dividend from the Tighe Trust - a long-standing trust fund. This income is committed to work amongst children and young people. The performance of the portfolio is reviewed from time to time.

The charity makes regular donations both to individual Christian workers and to reputable charitable and Christian Mission organisations both in the UK and overseas.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

Achievements and performance

At the beginning of 2022, we continued to enhance the programme of events held both for the church and the community following the pandemic.

We continue to hold services on the Sunday and since the pandemic we have continued to Livestream with audiences now joining us both locally and across the world. We have also been recording and broadcasting items through local radio.

In the autumn we began a new monthly evening service focussing on worship called the ‘worship café’ with new people attending.

Our youth work has been expanded with the employment of a new Youth Worker. She has opened the Youth Café for young people of secondary school age. She (alongside our placement degree students from Moorlands College) has been working to cater for the needs of young people both in the church and the community with activities on Wednesday afternoons, Wednesday evenings, Friday evenings and Sunday mornings and works in two secondary schools in the area one day a week with another local charity called PACE and in partnership with other churches.

Children’s work continues on a Sunday morning, and we have set up a creche for under 5s

The midweek under 5s work called ‘Ladybirds’ continues with a good number of parents attending from the community.

A new ‘Friendship Group’ was formed replacing the previous over 60s groups looking to encourage friendships between those who may otherwise be lonely. This also acts as a ‘Warm Space’ for those struggling to heat their homes and who need a place to meet that is warm and friendly.

We have recommenced face to face Alpha Groups with one morning and one evening course during the year. Alpha is a basic introduction to the Christian faith and was attended by a good number of people this year.

The church has also increased the number of Home Groups which we have now rebranded as ‘Connect Groups’. Connect Groups are smaller elements of church that meet regularly to pray, support and discuss. These meet in various locations across the conurbation.

We have begun to develop some men’s activities to help connect men. This year included a curry night at a local restaurant attended by several church men and their friends.

We have also enabled the church to be used by other external groups. These include: Slimming World, Dancing Ducklings (for under 5s), NHS retirement fellowship, Pilates groups, an anxiety group, table tennis group and opportunities for local scout group special events etc…

In addition, we have held various community events to support people and raise money for the Twynham Community Link building project including: Jumble Sale, a spring fair and plant sale, a Cream Tea and a very popular ‘Christmas Fair’ all of which were extremely well received and attended raising approximately £10,000 for the project.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

Financial review

Donations have continued to increase, with Standing Order receipts decreasing by £3,719, but gifts and offerings increasing by £15,357.

Income from gift aid has increased by £1,011, which is related to the increase in special gifts.

In 2021 one off grants were received towards the Link building project and youth worker / youth café, totalling £38,000.

Rental Income increased by £600, due to the increase in monthly rent, the property was occupied for the whole year.

Income from fundraising events this year decreased by £2,304 to £12,330, the prior year included specific one off funds raised towards the refurbishment of the ladies toilets.

There was a total surplus (net income) made of £1,278 for the 2022 year, compared to surplus (net income) of £72,620 in 2021.

Financial Risk Management

Through the Church Treasurer, the Trustees have continued to keep all budgets under careful review. The Treasurer draws up an annual budget and he keeps the church informed about progress throughout the year. The elders discuss any major projected expenditure with the Treasurer in advance of any final decision.

Principal funding sources

The Charity relies almost completely on the systematic giving of the membership to cover the day-today expenditure (including staffing), a significant proportion of which is gift-aided. However a new project designed to replace the existing youth activity building and to add new facilities - Including a Sports Hall, small meeting rooms and long overdue facilities for staff - is currently being planned and we have already raised part of the cost by means of a series of fund-raising events. We will also be applying for grants from several charities.

Reserves policy

At the year end the charity had total reserves of £1,337,626, of which £165,183 were restricted. General unrestricted free reserves after removing tangilble fixed assets and investment property amounted to £54,903.

It is the policy of the Trustees to keep in reserve such sums of money that are adequate to meet essential expenditure for a period of approximately three months. Amongst other things, this covers staffing costs and the cost of utilities. At the year end the Church is holding in excess of three months expenditure as they are expecting extensive works to be done in the coming few years.

Structure, governance and management

Governing document

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and is governed by the Memorandum and Articles of Association which were adopted on its incorporation on 22 August 2007.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Twynham Church For The Community is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 99 Barrack Road, Christchuch, Dorset, BH23 2AL, England.

1.1 Accounting convention

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document, 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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.

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 pound.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise funds which have been set aside at the discretion of the trustees 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 financial statements.

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.

TWYNHAM CHURCH FOR THE COMMUNITY

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

1.5 Resources expended

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 insettlement 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.

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity are capitalised if they cost at least £500 and can beused for more than one year.

Freehold land and buildings

No depreciation is charged on the church as the property is maintained to such a standard that theresidual value is not less than cost.

1.7 Investment properties

Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, is initially recognised at cost, which includes the purchase cost and any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequently it is measured at fair value at the reporting end date. The surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised in profit or loss.

1.8 Fixed asset investments

Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

1.9 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).
