## **Achievements and performance** 

## a) Advancing the Christian Faith 

This year has been a year of recovery from last year (Covid) and the restrictions on the church members. Advancing the Christian faith into our community has been done by online through Zoom and meeting at the community centre. As a charity we are still investing and look at building and opening a Christian community coffee shop, this will impact a cross section of society with a safe place to dwell and talk about spiritual health and wellbeing. The church leads many programs throughout the year which include a Sunday Morning meeting in the hall as well as on Zoom. We engage with other churches and often have guest speakers in from the churches of Stoke on Trent. 

We have also worked many hours this year in the community centre getting ready for Love Coffee and have applied for a CIF grant from Stoke on Trent City Council. 

## b) Furthering Christian Education 

We have signed up the leadership of the church to Legacy Leadership for another year, which is an online and weekend training course for Christians in places of influence. It again has been hard to meet and run educational courses so we have again done most of this by online web seminars. A range of external speakers have been used from all over the World via Zoom 

## c) Relieving Need 

As a church we are committed to helping those in need and are doing this through our members engaging in Building and getting the coffee shop ready so we can help with loneliness, help with antisocial behaviour by having a safe place for the youth. Due to lack of money we did not manage to open a CAP centre in 2022. We have provided food to family who needed help. 

## d) Managing Facilities 

In September we completed the eighth year of operating Meir Park Community Centre under a 15 year lease signed in 2013, again exceeding the performance measure contained within the lease. This continues to be a strong arm for our work in the community. We also signed another lease agreement for an additional 9 years in 2021 that will run after the 15year lease finishes, this was needed as we required 10yrs on the lease to be accepted for a community grant. 

The finances are run in the same way as we have done for the last 5 years. All community rentals are paid into the community centre account under Love Stoke Church. The Church also pays rental into this account for the time it uses within the hall. The Charity pays all the bills and repairs and any improvements within the community centre. A management charge is applied to the Community Centre account to reflect this. 

The cabin has been used to hold small groups and also a space to use when the coffee shop is having work carried out in it. 

The main community building is used for many activities within Meir Park, Slimming World, Over 55, karate and one-off local events. 

We continue to be very active within community groups and with Stoke City Council, who are very supportive. 

Robert and Emily Price are the Senior leaders of Love Stoke Church.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Love Stoke Church ("the Company")** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2022 

. 

## **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 Love Stoke Church 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’). 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: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of Love Stoke Church as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

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)]. 

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 accounts to be reached.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates** 

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. 

## **Statement of compliance** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). They also comply with the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011. 

## **Basis of preparation** 

Love Stoke Church meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity. 

## **Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement** 

The charity opted to adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements. 

## **Income and endowments** 

All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of the income receivable can be measured reliably. 

## _**Donations and legacies**_ 

Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. 

## _**Grants receivable**_ 

Grants are recognised when the charity has an entitlement to the funds and any conditions linked to the grants have been met. 

Where performance conditions are attached to the grant and are yet to be met, the income is recognised as a liability and included on the balance sheet as deferred income to be released. 

## **Expenditure** 

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs. 

## _**Charitable activities**_ 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

**Governance costs** 

Page 8 



**Love Stoke Church** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022** 

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees’ meetings and reimbursed expenses. 

## **Government grants** 

Government grants are recognised based on the accrual model and are measured at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are classified as relating either to revenue or to assets. Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income over the period in which the related costs are recognised. Grants relating to assets are recognised over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity. 

Substantial items are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and will have continued value. They are valued at cost or, if gifted, at the value to the charity on receipt. 

## **Depreciation and amortisation** 

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life on a straight line basis as follows: 

## **Asset class Depreciation method and rate** 

Equipment 25% Vehicles 25% Modular Building 5% Building Improvements 5% 

## **Trade debtors** 

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. 

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. 

## **Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. 

## **Fund structure** 

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. 

Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose. 

## **2 Charity status** 

The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in England, and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation.

The management charge is charged to the hall by the charity to cover the costs of running the hall. This includes utilities, cleaning, maintenance and the time and resources for management of the hall. The church pays rental income to the hall. These transactions are reflected in a separate Community Hall bank account. 

The management charge and church hall rental are internally generated income and expenditure charges. They net off in the overall accounts, but are shown here to show the income and expenditure specifically relating to the Community Hall.
