Trustees:
Samuel Duerden- Chairman (day to day management of the charity) Benjamin Whitaker, Pamela Wharton
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 2015).
The Trustees of the Charity present their report of the charities activities along with the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2020.
Objectives and Activities
The objectives of the charity as per the trust deed are:
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 UK or the world as the trustees from time to time think fit.
To advance the Christian faith in accordance with the Statement in such ways and in such parts of the UK or the world as the trustees from time to time may think.
Achievement and Performance
Church
Obviously, due to the circumstances created by the pandemic, our regular program, structure, and vision for 2020 dramatically shifted in March 2020. We adapted, in order to meet the rising levels of need in our local community. In order to do this, we redirected our finances so that we could be the helping hand local people needed in this time of crisis.
We worked in partnership with local schools and healthcare providers, from which we received referrals and met a variety of needs of those impacted directly by the pandemic, whether it be loss of employment, decreased earnings, and those who experienced loss. Our help included food hampers for families and children, topping up utility prepaid cards, purchasing school uniforms, providing white goods for families, contributions to funeral costs, and much more.
Furthermore, we also changed our approach and delivery of pastoral support. We increased our connection with those in the church and our community. Utilising our amazing volunteer teams. We provided a telephone befriending service, delivered food, did shopping for those vulnerable, sent gifts to help raise spirits, and provided spiritual support, encouragement and care.
We also switched to offering Church services in an online format, something we had previously not done. We needed to invest in equipment in order to do this, but it has proved extremely popular and been a source of encouragement to many in these troubling times.

Our relationship with Compassion International has continued throughout the year, despite changes to people's circumstances. The annual mission trip to Rwanda was cancelled due to travel restrictions.
As a charity we are extremely proud of the way that we have adapted our delivery during this period and still fulfilled our charity objectives in the relief of poverty, sickness, the provision of pastoral support and being faithful to our commitment to advancing the Christian faith.
Community
Our care for our community has been shown in a different form than in previous years. We spent a total of £33,542 on being a helping hand to those affected financially by Covid-19. Additional to this we gave £5,363 to help support those impacted socially, mentally, and emotionally. We also were able to give ministry gifts totalling £3,484 to local teachers and non-teaching staff to show our support of the great work they did in this past year.
Building
As the main area of the building has remained closed to the general public due to Government restrictions on conference centres and soft play areas, we took the opportunity to make renovations to the property. We finished off the office blocks and utilised some of this space for our online recordings. Additional renovations included removal of a conservatory and decking, removing raised drainage pipes and submerging them underground. This was costly due to the size of our outside space. Work also began on new toilet blocks in order to increase the size of these. We did furlough our building staff as we were unable to open and generate any finance. We were unable to access any of the business grants that were available in March due to the rateable value of the building being higher than the eligibility requirements. Later in the year we did manage to secure some of the local restriction grants totalling £3,000.
Pre-School
Following guidance, we did close our Pre-School from March-September; however, we supported families with voluntary home visits and some online collective worship, connection and storytelling classes. We also made the storytelling classes available on social media to our wider community. During the year we were able to provide home-schooling packs that we printed and sent to each child's home. We were able to utilise the Job Retention Scheme for our preschool staff during this period, and from September the staff were flexibly furloughed due to the reality of having to close if any cases arose causing us to close and due to the low attendance of uptake for the Autumn term. Also, we have purchased further equipment, removed all soft furnishings, and followed all PPE requirements.
Church
All our services went online so that everyone could still access these, maintain connection, and receive spiritual encouragement. We used Facebook Watch for these and produced an extremely high quality of media in order to make these as good as we could. In order to move digitally as a church, we made significant investment in media, sound, and recording equipment totalling £12,884. We also ran online prayer meetings, Alpha courses, leadership training, and volunteer meetings to coordinate all our projects. At points we were able to meet in person with the most vulnerable in our church family in order to provide a lifeline and much needed connection.

Brave Church (Charity Reg No: 1123994) Annual Report of the Trustees 2020 - continued
As a church we have been astounded by the continued giving and generosity of our congregation, we would not have been able to carry out all that we have done if it was not for this.
Other
Although there were no Lease Agreements payments due in 2020, as a Church we paid to keep the Charity Lease Car so that shopping could be delivered to the public. This agreement was terminated before the end of the year and no further Leasing arrangements were made.
It is noted that utilities, phone, printing and advertising costs remained the same or higher than the previous year and this was due to the building being a base for those meeting the needs of the community.
As a Charity, we recognise that we would not be able to carry out the work we do without the support, investment, and commitment of our faithful volunteers, who work tirelessly in their service of the Church.
Public benefit
The trustees have regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and all issues relating to running a charity. The activities outlined above are the main activities undertaken to further the purpose for public benefit.
Structure, governance and management
The Charity is governed by its Trust Deed and the on-going running of the Charity is overseen by the Board of Trustees.
The Board of Trustees ensures that the charity and its representatives’ function within the legal and regulatory framework of the sector and in line with the organisations’ governing document, continually striving for best practice in governance.
They also uphold the fiduciary duty invested in the position, undertaking such duties in a way continually striving for best practice in governance that adds to public confidence and trust in the charity. Throughout the course of the year, the Trustees met a total of three times.
New trustees are appointed with adherence to the Charity Commission guidelines CC30. It is essential that they are a person committed to the teachings of the Bible and have personal knowledge of God through Jesus Christ. They should be in agreement with the objectives and core values of Brave Church. Trustees are nominated to join the team by the Trustees and approved and appointed by the existing Trustees.
Organisational structure
The Senior Minister, Pastor Samuel Duerden has Spiritual and day to day oversight of the charity. Pastor Samuel is chair of the trustees as per the Constitution and is answerable to them. They meet approximately three or four times a year.
Alongside the Pre School staff the church employed 4 people full-time (Church Pastor, Executive Team Leader, Business & Administration Director, Creative and Marketing Director and Creative and Worship Director) and 2 people part-time (Coffee House Manager and Children’s party organiser).

Brave Church (Charity Reg No: 1123994) Annual Report of the Trustees 2020 – continued
During 2020, the employment for three staff members has finished. One of these was planned and two moved on to follow a different career path. Also, the apprentice met all requirements of their course and has since progressed to further employment elsewhere. Our preschool team has one additional staff member to assist in helping our setting meet all Covid guidelines.
Risk Management
The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the Charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. Trustee approval is required for all significant items of expenditure, and before purchasing anything staff are required to fill out a purchase request form. Receipts or invoices are required in support of payments, and these are allocated against the appropriate cost centres in our accounting system to ensure that an audit trail is provided for all expenditure.
Appropriate insurance cover is in place and is regularly reviewed to ensure that the charities risks are managed properly. We are adequately covered for Building, Public and Employers Liability Insurance.
It is a requirement that all Trustees, staff, and persons working with children and/or vulnerable adults are cleared by the Police under Disclosure and Barring Service Scheme. The Charity subscribes to the Churches Protection Advisory Service (CCPAS) to ensure compliance with the rules and regulations relating to children and vulnerable adults. All DBS applications are made through thirtyone:eight formerly CCPAS. This year we have once again reviewed all of our Child protection policies to make sure they are relevant and effective and carried out safeguarding training with all our staff and volunteers.
Financial Review
At 31 December 2020, the Charity held total funds of £301,661 all of which are unrestricted funds. This includes all fixed assets. It is intended that sufficient reserves are retained in order to enable the Charity to undertake its financial commitments for a minimum of two months which would equate to approximately £30,000. The level of available, liquid unrestricted funds carried forward at 31 December 2020 meets the required level of reserve.
We also note that completed improvements to the building will have added significant value to the building although an official revaluation has yet to be arranged.
Plans for future periods
Plans are well underway for our development into the next year. We have completed a full review of our financial liabilities and are extremely confident in our ability to service these. The Trustees are particularly encouraged by the response of community support.
As Trustees, we consider that we are continuing to achieve our mandate as a charity in the advance of the Christian faith and provision of funds and service to help those in need and look forward to extending our work and partnerships this coming year.

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

17. RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES
Trustees have made regular donations to the Church during the year.
Remuneration paid to family members of trustees during the year was £23,135 (2019 - £14,732). This relates to a trustee's wife being a paid employee of Brave Church. The figure includes Employer National Insurance and Pension Contributions.
Whilst this does seem remarkably higher than the previous year this is due to the Related Party becoming a full time employee in September 2019 and therefore 2020 figures reflect a full year in her new role.
