The trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission as stipulated in in section 17(5) of the Charities Act 2011.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims**
The objectives of the company are for the benefit of the public:
(I) the advancement of the Christian faith in accordance with the Articles of Faith set out in Article 34 of the Articles of Association including, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, by the preaching and proclamation of the Christian Gospel, the teaching of Christian doctrine and principles, pastoral care, the distribution of the Bible and other Christian literature and by all forms of broadcasting media;

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities**
In guiding the activities of the charity the trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. The charity operates from two premises, both located in Dewsbury; the Temperance Hall and the Dewsbury Revival Centre. The activities undertaken by the charity in the year to further the charity's purposes for the public benefit are set out herein.
The Charity's activities during 2020 were severely affected by the Coronavirus pandemic and the policies implemented by HM Government to suppress the spread of infection by the virus and minimise the risks to public health. However, throughout the year the trustees have striven to ensure that as far as possible the charity's historic activities have continued, albeit at a reduced level.
Up to 22 March 2020 the worship and social activities at the Church continued as they had in 2019, but following the passing into law the lockdown measures announcement on 23 March 2020 such activities ceased. The trustees put measures in place for public worship to continue on-line over the internet, using YouTube and Facebook, which commenced in early April 2020. Despite the easing of restrictions on public worship later in 2020 and the recommencement of worship meetings at the Dewsbury Revival Centre in July 2020, the Church has continued to use these technologies to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ and provide Christian teaching to the general public.
"K.i.D.S. Church" met as normal until March 2020 when the lockdown measures came into place. Since then it did not meet during the remainder of the year and the trustees are mindful of the need to recommence this activity once social health conditions are appropriate.
The Youth, members of the Church in their later teens and early twenties, in the previous year had been meeting with the youth from another member church of 'Churches Together in Dewsbury' on a regular basis while the Church's own Youth Leaders have been concentrating on family matters. Mainly due to the impact of Coronavirus no meetings were held during the 2020. The Church is planning on recommencing its own Youth meetings in the coming year once social health conditions are appropriate. .
Dewsbury Gospel Church continues to support "Care Dewsbury", a collaboration of Churches Together in Dewsbury (CTID), - caring for homeless and needy people, especially those with alcohol and drug dependency. During 2020, because of the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic, the Church participated in CTID during the year through internet 'Zoom' meetings and several joint church services were held online.
Branch Christian School continued to operate throughout the year with students attending the school in the Dewsbury Revival Centre or receiving tuition online as social health conditions dictated. The school 19 students during the year, slightly less than the number of students in previous years. Students from the school have graduated from and attended various universities including Oxford, Kingston, Leicester, Cardiff, Huddersfield and Lancaster.
The charity continues to lease the Temperance Hall building in Dewsbury which is tenanted by Charis Bible College Dewsbury as well as Branch FM Radio Station (see note 20 to the financial statements).
The charity has the main responsibility for the supervision of Branch FM Community radio station with many Church members involved as volunteers (see note 20 to the financial statements). The interest in and influence of the station continues to grow through its presentation of good music and various programs.
The trustees assisted by members of the church have continued to put a great deal of effort into maintaining and enhancing the properties from which the charity operates to serve as places of praise, worship, study and service for the general community in and around the town of Dewsbury.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Internal and external factors**
The charity continues to be widely respected within the Heavy Woollen area of West Yorkshire centred on Dewsbury. By continuing to undertake the activities described above its beneficial impact within its target area of operations will enhance both the quality of life for many in that area as well as serve to enhance its own reputation as a body benefiting the community at large.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Financial position**
Despite the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic on the charity's activities the charity has remained financially stable over the year to 31 December 2020 with the result that there has been a slight decrease in the level of restricted funds held during the year, from £5,859 at 31 December 2019 to £5,459 at 31 December 2019, while the level of unrestricted funds has increased from £181,604 to £200,576 over the same period.
## **Principal funding sources**
The principal funding sources of the charity remain donations to the Church together with school fees. This funding has been used to support the key objectives of the charity.
## **Reserves policy**
The policy of the charity as regards reserves is to accumulate income in order to set aside funds as reserves against future expenditure, particularly in relation to repairs of the buildings it uses which given their age may be substantial.
While the charity has no quantified reserves policy in place the Board considers that the level of reserves of the charity at the period end to be satisfactory.
## **Going concern**
In common with virtually every other charity in the country, Dewsbury Gospel Church has been experiencing the effects of the Coronavirus pandemic. Whilst the full impact of this exceptional situation on the Charity cannot be assessed with complete certainty at the current time, the Trustees believe they have taken all possible steps to protect the Charity including accessing relevant Government assistance.
At the time of signing these accounts the Trustees are of the opinion that the Charity will remain viable for the foreseeable future and therefore these Financial Statements have been prepared on the Going Concern basis.
## **FUTURE PLANS**
The trustees are concentrating on improving the quality, transparency and integrity of all the activities undertaken by the charity in the foreseeable future.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020.
## **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').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company 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 your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act').

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

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued**
## **Fund accounting**
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when the donation is subject to a Deed of Trust, specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular charitable purposes. Where a restricted fund, not restricted by virtue of a Deed of Trust but established at the trustees discretion, has no further use, for example because the need for which it was established no longer exists, the trustees may, at their absolute discretion, reabsorb such assets as remain into the general, unrestricted, fund of the charity.
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is disclosed at note 19 to the financial statements.
## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits**
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
## **Accounting period**
The company's accounting reference date is 29 December. These financial statements are for the year ended 31 December 2020, that date being not more than 7 days either side of the accounting reference date as permitted by the Companies Act 2006.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**
## **19. MOVEMENT IN FUNDS - continued**
## **Transfers between funds**
During the year £804 of the School Fees Fund was utilised to meet the school fees of a student judged worthy of support by the trustees.
During the year ended 31 December 2019 the expenditure from the Students Mission fund exceeded its income and resources in the sum of £2,797 which was met from the General Fund. When the Charis Bible College was transferred to AWME the Mission Team Fund was not specified in the transfer agreement. The Mission Team Fund was established at the trustees discretion and as the activity this fund was set up to finance will no longer take place the trustees decided to transfer the amount in the fund at the year-end, £776, to the General Fund.
## **20. RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES**
During the year remuneration has been paid to Mr J J Childs for his services as Pastor at the Church in the sum of £8,533 (2019: £6,867).
During the year remuneration has been paid to wives and close family members of of some of the trustees as employees of the charity. Remuneration is paid below the market rate for the positions they hold as part-time employees of the charity. The balance of the time required to fulfil the duties of their employment is donated by them to the charity. The trustees and the amounts involved are:
Mrs V Farrant, teacher at Branch Christian School, wife of Mr M D Farrant: £10,080 (2019: £7,250).
Mrs J E Holt, Headteacher at Branch Christian School, wife of Mr J Holt: £3,750 (2019: £13,750).
Mrs S Childs, teacher at Branch Christian School, wife of Mr J J Childs: £10,080 (2019: £10,130).
The charity sublets part of one of its properties to Branch FM, a charity incorporated in England and Wales (Charity number 1120585), whose aims are concordant with this charity and the Chair of Trustees, Mr S P Hodgson, is also a trustee of Branch FM. The charity has recharged £1,500 (2019: £1,500) for rent and a portion of overheads in respect of the property on a nominal basis (see note 5 above). In addition the charity donated the sum of £1,200 to Branch FM during the year.
The charity was charged £600 (2019 £600) for the rent of its Registered Office from Temperance Hall, a charity incorporated in England and Wales (Charity number 247191). Several of the trustees of this charity are also trustees of Temperance Hall; Mr M D Farrant, Mr T Firth, and Mr J J Childs, however they comprise a minority in number of the trustees of that charity. The rent is paid under a four-year lease obligation which expired in December 2020.
