REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONT'D)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Financial Review

The Trustees are satisfied with the results for the period, particularly in light of the current economic climate, and the general income and expenditure ended the year with a surplus.

The 2021 accounts have been prepared on a Receipts and Payments basis. The Gift Aid for 2020 of £19,918.79 received in February 2021, is recorded in the 2021 accounts.

The Trustees will continue to monitor the performance of the charity and exercise responsible stewardship over its resources.

Fund Raising

Church members elected to serve the community with free events in 2021.

Church run community groups

Four groups were run during 2021 by the church for the community; the income and expenditure accounts for each of these groups was accounted for independently and audited by our Internal Auditor, Graham Moore.

Park Road Kidz, Sunbeams, Crafting Angels and Park Road Ladies Group.

Principal Funding Sources

The Church has three principal sources of income, namely:

This income is used primarily to fund the cost of a full time Baptist Minister, a part-time Youth Worker and an Associate Baptist Minister. The cost of stipend, salaries, pension and NI in 2021 was £36,190.11.

The Minister, Revd Mark Duggan, was also a Trustee and called to lead the church in preaching and worship and was responsible for pastoral care, mission and all aspects of church life.

Part of this income is also used for administration costs, to pay cleaners, help fund the cost of repairing and maintaining the premises, including heat and light costs.

This income is also used to fund youth and children's work, events for the elderly, mission donations and to support community events and charities.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONT'D)

Related charities

The custodian Trustee of the Church is the Baptist Union Corporation Limited, which holds the deeds to the church; the Manses, 74 Park Road, and 110 Gloucester Crescent, Rushden; and the Investment assets in note 6.

The investment assets held by the Baptist Union Corporation Limited are for the restricted purpose of funding building development.

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements the trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;

observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;

make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the accounts;

prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume 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 charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and trust deed.

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Approved by the Trustees on 11th April 2022 and signed on their behalf by:

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES OF PARK ROAD BAPTIST CHURCH

The report on the accounts of Park Road Baptist Church for the year ended 31 December 2021, which are set out on pages 5 to 13 is in respect of an examination carried out under the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 and section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011.

Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is our responsibility to:

Basis of Independent Examiner's Report

Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently we do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

Independent Examiner's Statement

In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention:

  1. which gives us reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:

  2. To keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and

  3. To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act

    • Have not been met; or

  4. to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached

PARK ROAD BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

1 Accounting policies

These accounts have been prepared on a Receipts and Payments basis and in accordance with the charity's trust deed and the Charities Act 2011. Although not required to do so as a charity which uses the Receipts and Payments basis, the Trustees have chosen to comply with the requirements of the Accounting and Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (second edition) and Financial Reporting Standard FRS 102.

The particular accounting policies adopted are described below.

General funds

General accumulated funds are unrestricted funds available to the charity for its general purposes.

Restricted funds

The charity operates restricted funds for the following purposes:-

a) Use of donations and gifts received for specific purposes.

b) Specific fund raising events - These were set up following specific fund raising appeals

c) Capital expenditure from the Trust Fund account held by the Baptist Union Corporation.

Voluntary designated funds

The charity operates a voluntarily designated fund for the following purposes:-

a) Legacy account - This fund was formed for the separate use of legacies to use on Church projects

b) Reserve account - This fund was formed as a holding account for funds for the general account

c) Welfare account - This fund was formed for welfare use in the Church

d) Repairs account - This fund was formed in 2017 for use of the repair of the Church premises at Park Road

e) Manse account - This fund was formed in 2020 for use of the repair of the two manses.

The use of such funds remains at the discretion of the charity's officers, trustees and members.

Incoming resources

Income is recognised on a receivable basis and is shown gross of any related expenditure. The specific bases are as follows:

Resources expended

Resources expended are accounted for on a cash basis. Expenditure is apportioned between activities on the basis of its purpose, and shown in the appropriate category, unless it is immaterial in the context of these accounts.

Page 7

PARK ROAD BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

1 Accounting polices (continued)

Fixed assets and depreciation

The Church premises and manse are included in the balance sheet at insured value. Costs of minor additions to fixed assets, defined as those costing less than £5,000 each, are expensed in the year in which they were incurred.

Fixtures and fittings in the Church are included at insurance value because reliable cost information is not available.

Investment assets

Quoted investments are stated at cost and they are held by the Baptist Union Corporation on the Church's behalf. They are restricted for the purposes of being used for new buildings and building redevelopment projects, rather than for generating income.

Pension costs

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for employees. The amount recognised in the profit and loss account is the contribution made by the charity for certain employees.

Governance costs

This represents direct expenditure on the governance of the church. Most of the management is carried out without charge by volunteers. This intangible cost is not included in the Statement of Financial Activities since there is no measurable cost to the volunteers for their service.
