Burlington Baptist Church Trustees Report 2019-2020 

## _**Annual Report for 2019-20**_ 

The trustees present their Annual Report and financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2020. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland published in October 2019. 

## _**Charitable Objectives**_ 

The Charity is governed by an Approved Governing Document which states that the principal purpose of the charity is the advancement of the Christian faith according to the principles of the Baptist denomination to include the advancement of education, community service and such other general charitable purposes in such parts of the United Kingdom and the world as the church shall determine. 

In particular, the charity has the purpose of providing for the advancement of the Christian faith in Ipswich and beyond, providing instruction for children, young people and adults in the Christian faith, holding public Christian worship, and having Christian fellowship with other Christians. 

The church occupies premises which are held by The Baptist Union Corporation Ltd, on Trusts which are entirely compatible with the above object. 

## _**Organisational structure and decision-making processes**_ 

## **Governance** 

The charity is governed in accordance with a Constitution dated 30 October 2008 supplemented by approved relevant notes, a copy of which is available to members of the charity. 

## **Public Benefit** 

In planning our activities for the year we have had regard for the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit at our Trustees’ and Church Meetings (addressing Sections 4 and 17(5) of the Charities Act 2011). In achieving the aims and objectives as set out in this report, the Trustees consider that the charity is fulfilling its requirement to deliver a public benefit. This is particularly shown by: 

- Public opportunity to attend worship events on Sundays, with key events being advertised on our website 

- Open access activities for children e.g. Tiddlywinks, older people e.g. Lunch Club, those in need in Ipswich e.g. Elevenses, Feet for the Street, Ipswich Winter Night Shelter, Open Door Christmas Day meal 

- Support for publicly accessible mission activities locally e.g. Inspire, CYM, nationally e.g. Home Mission and internationally e.g. BMS, Project Ruth (Romania), Path to Victory (Kyrgyzstan)

Burlington Baptist Church Trustees Report 2019-2020 

## **Membership** 

Members are admitted in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution by vote of the Church Meeting on the basis of their profession of Christian faith, either by Believers’ Baptism or by affirmation.  This year we have witnessed a number of baptisms and now have a membership of 217.  The list of members and friends is carefully reviewed as part of our three yearly Constitutional review schedule. 

Members are encouraged to assist the work of the church by volunteering to help in various organisations of the church. 

## **Trustees** 

The managing Trustees of the charity are the Ministers of the Church (appointed by the Church Meeting for an unspecified period), the Church Secretary and Treasurer and between five and seven deacons (appointed by the Church Meeting for a period of three years). Note that there should have been a Trustees election in March but Covid-19 restrictions meant this could not happen then. The election finally took place in October 2020, the existing Trustee group providing stability through the lockdown and over the summer. 

The Trustees meet at least nine times per year to review operations, the financial position and any developments to ensure the Church’s objectives are being fulfilled. Vision/Strategy meetings are held at least once a year and include the wider staff team. 

## **Church Meeting** 

A meeting of Church members is held 3-4 times per year.  One of the meetings incorporates the constitutional annual Church Members Meeting to receive the annual accounts and report, to appoint an Independent Examiner, and to consider proposals for the strategy and vision of the church in the coming year, along with other appropriate matters. At one meeting the Budget for the following year is discussed and agreed. Additional Vision Sundays are used to engage strategically with more members as appropriate through the year. Note that during the Covid-19 restrictions there was a Church Members Meeting held electronically for the purpose of strategy, budget approval and election of new Trustees. Most votes were by show of “electronic hands” and the election was an effective mix of secret electronic voting and postal votes. 

The Church Meeting has responsibility for the overall policy of the church, in accordance with the Constitution.  Relevant matters may be submitted to the Church Meeting by the Trustees for guidance, or may be raised by members in a Church Meeting for further consideration by the Trustees. 

## **Fraud Prevention** 

A Fraud Prevention and Tax Evasion policy is in place to ensure there will be greater awareness of the risks we face in this area, the necessary behaviours we expect from staff and volunteers and ways in which we are seeking to prevent fraud. 

## **Data Protection** 

A Data Protection policy and procedures are in place to support our compliance with the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR). This includes privacy notices and consent forms with on-line tools being used as much as possible for easier operation.

## _**Objectives and activities**_ 

## **Core activities** 

In order to achieve the principal objective which is set out above, the church provides a variety of activities both to its membership and to the public community. The aim is to show the love of Jesus Christ in both word and deed and to bring people into a closer relationship with Him as living Lord. 

- Provision of Sunday public worship (celebration).  Usually one main service at 10.45am with teaching made publicly available on our website, and age appropriate teaching for children and young people. The actual celebration event has been mainly online since March due to Covid-19 restrictions but this has meant its reach has been greater. 

- Provision of a variety of groups and services developing community (termed “Burlington Communities”). Some of these groups have worked effectively online or in very small gatherings during the Covid-19 restrictions and some have become telephone based support groups for mental and spiritual wellbeing: 

   - Small groups for friendship and Christian support and learning 

   - Missional focused groups for friendship, Christian support and learning usually offering a wider service to the public community e.g. A Time to Sew, Elevenses 

   - Organisational groups offering specific services to a group within the church community. e.g. Women’s Fellowship and the wider public community e.g. Lunch Club 

Additionally, we provide: 

- Extra teaching through various courses e.g. Start course, Cracking Communication 

- Extra opportunities for learning and friendship for children and young people e.g. 8-11 and Emerge, Children & Youth Camps and Duke of Edinburgh scheme. 

- Links to other Christian churches for mutual support e.g. 4 local churches growing in friendship and activity. 

- Links to the wider Christian community to provide additional public services e.g. Ipswich Winter Night Shelter. 

- Care for our community through our Pastoral Team including home and hospital visits and communion to those who are housebound. During the Covid-19 pandemic we have been delivering regular food to people we are aware of who are in significant need. 

- Prayer Ministry Appointments offering specific help and support for people with emotional needs 

- Christian weddings and funerals 

## **Charitable giving** 

The Church gives at least 15% of its regular sources of income to other Christian charities. The main ones are: 

- BMS World Mission 

- Baptist Union of Great Britain Home Mission 

- Project Ruth School in Romania 

- Path to Victory (Kyrgyzstan)

Burlington Baptist Church Trustees Report 2019-2020 

- Route to Freedom, Ipswich 

- Christian Youth Ministries, Ipswich 

- Soul Edge (Canada UK and New Zealand) 

- Inspire Christian Counselling, Ipswich 

- Perspectives, Ipswich 

- Oasis Language School, Ipswich 

- Happy Home (Kenya) 

The Church has continued to develop longer term partnerships with some mission partners, including the Path to Victory Project in Kyrgyzstan, Transforming Lives for Good (UK) and Kintsugi Hope (UK). 

A full list of the charities that we have supported during this period is contained in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **Safeguarding children and vulnerable adults** 

The Church operates systems to ensure that all church members working with children, young people and vulnerable adults are appropriately vetted with regard to the DBS system. Arrangements are in place for all such people to receive suitable training for their roles in the Church. 

## **Use of premises** 

Many Church led activities take place in the Church Centre. This facility is also used for some local Council meetings and a regular NCT group (pre-Covid-19 and when Covid-19 restrictions allowed). 

The Church Hall is used by a range of community groups e.g: 

- A breakfast and after-school club run by Alpha Nurseries operates daily in term time from the halls. They also run holiday clubs. 

’ Karibu – African ladies group helping develop cooking and life skills as well as community and expanding their use of our facilities. 

- Brownies – regularly use Church facilities for their sessions 

- – 

- Eastern Angles Theatre Group occasional use of Church facilities for practices 

- – 

- Ipswich Winter Night Shelter use the facilities to provide overnight accommodation for up to 12 guests each night through the worst winter months. 

The Church has established policies to ensure that such hirings come within the limitations of the Constitution and relevant laws. 

The main Church Centre is approved for use by the Council as an emergency centre. 

## **Health and Safety** 

The Church, mindful that the trustees bear full responsibility for this aspect of the life and work of the church, has appointed a Health and Safety Officer to advise the Trustees. This is currently the Operations Manager who ensures that relevant health and safety training is provided for employees and volunteer leaders of most church groups. Food hygiene advice is also available to those involved in preparing food for consumption on the Church premises.

## _**Achievements and performance**_ 

The Church does not measure the success of its programmes primarily in numbers, including financial numbers, but in less tangible areas like fellowship and encouragement. The Trustees recognise that these are difficult to measure, but believe that the year covered by this report was again a positive one in the life of the Church, and that it will be able to pursue its mission purposes in the future with renewed enthusiasm.  We continued to work on starting, developing and maturing missional communities through this year. Seven Interns completed a 10-month period of training with us again and five have started a similar programme recently despite Covid-19 restrictions. 

The Trustees acknowledge that the work of the Church is highly dependent on those members who provide voluntary service in many areas.  These include: 

- heading up the children’s activities in the Church 

- providing music for services 

- maintaining the property 

- catering 

- administration 

- staffing the Church activities mentioned in this report 

As well as a Senior Minister, we also employ paid staff to take the burden of administrative work off volunteers, such as: 

- a part-time Minister, supporting growth of various groups and Internships 

- a part-time Finance Manager to assist the Treasurer 

- a full-time Operations Manager to take on organisation of maintenance, rentals and various administrative matters which might otherwise be undertaken by the Church Secretary 

- a paid post of Youth Team Leader, to co-ordinate work with young people 

- Other paid staff include a Property Support Worker, Room-hire Coordinator and PA to the Senior Minister. 

There have been fairly stable numbers attending the Sunday worship celebration prior to Covid-19 restrictions and some community activities take place off-site on Sunday mornings. Overall we intuitively sense that our ‘reach’ into the wider community continues to be significant through the variety of community activities undertaken. 

## **Support** 

We recognise that staff and key volunteers require a system of support and encouragement.  These are principally provided by: 

- Ministry Team meetings (3 per month, 2 offering support in faith and character development and one focused on operations and associated support) 

- Line management meetings (monthly) with Senior Minister or other appropriate appointed Trustees 

- Support and Accountability Groups for community leaders (typically monthly)

Burlington Baptist Church Trustees Report 2019-2020 

## **Maintenance and upgrade of the premises** 

The actions from the last quinquennial review in 17/18 are still actively being planned into the maintenance schedule.  Routine day-to-day maintenance of the Church buildings and Manse was supplemented by some one-off projects e.g. replacement of the main video projector. 

In recent years, improvements have been made to the Church Hall including roof reslating, replacing decaying woodwork and brickwork repairs to sections with limited access, toilet refurbishment. 

Major work is carried out by commercial contractors, with volunteers carrying out several minor tasks, contributing many hours of work. 

The Church premises continue to be secured by external dusk to dawn lighting, CCTV, an alarm system and use of Smart Water marking for key assets. 

## _**Financial review**_ 

## **Financial policies** 

The Church has established systems to properly receive monies in and to control expenditure in accordance with the Constitution and the directions of the Trustees and Church Meeting. Budgeted resources are controlled to match anticipated income based upon previous years and expected changes. 

Financial guidelines have been approved by members for the protection of the church’s finances and assets and also for the protection of individual members of the Finance Team. The guidelines stipulate who may authorise payments at three levels of expenditure, and what processes should be followed when purchasing goods or services. 

The Treasurer is always a Trustee but individual members of the Finance Team are not necessarily Trustees, for instance volunteer Assistant Treasurers have been appointed from the membership to carry out specific roles. The Finance Manager is a part time paid employee who manages day-to-day financial transactions (income and expenditure) on behalf of the Church, monitors and reports on the financial situation, and prepares the annual budget and annual accounts. The Finance Manager reports to the Treasurer. 

The Finance Committee is a separate group and consists of at least five people – the Treasurer plus other church members, only one of which may be a Trustee. The Finance Committee considers and advises the Trustees on financial issues. In particular, they discuss, and amend if necessary, the annual budget before it goes to the Trustees Meeting. The Church Meeting is responsible for approving the budget. Similarly the annual accounts are reviewed by the Finance Committee prior to approval by the trustees’ Meeting, and are then received by the Church Meeting. 

A comparison of budgeted income and expenditure against actual income and expenditure is presented to the Trustees at least four times per year. 

The annual church accounts are prepared by the Finance Manager and independently examined by external, qualified accountants. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

Expenditure is controlled to match anticipated income based on annual budgets, with some allowance to build up reserves as prudent provision for known upcoming major expenses. The Reserves Policy is reviewed annually by the Trustees. Taking into account 

9 



Burlington Baptist Church Trustees Report 2019-2020 

the Church’s current financial position, its annual income, its financial oversight, the potential for loss of key income and the need for adequate cash flow, it is considered that the current minimum reserve level of £27,000 continues to meet our needs. 

## **General Fund** 

All freely available reserves are held in the General Fund. The Trustees monitor the level of reserves and will address any shortfall or make proposals to the Church Meeting in respect of any accumulated surplus to meet the Church’s objectives. The reserves also represent the working balance of the Church particularly given the claiming of Gift Aid in arrears. 

## **Restricted funds** 

Monies are held in Restricted Funds where an appeal or a donor restricts their use, for instance to support the work of a particular organisation within or outside the church. 

## **Designated Funds** 

Some monies have been designated for particular purposes, and have not been included in the calculation of reserves as they are considered essential to support the running of the Church. As well as holdings for internal organisations, the main Designated Funds are: 

- **Legacy Fund** 

   - Any legacies received by the Church are put into this fund. No legacy in recent years has been for a specific purpose and consequently all monies held are designated. The Trustees generally try to use this fund to provide something that enhances the Church and can be clearly identified by the family of the donor. This fund contained £13,468 (18/19: £13,307) at year end. 

- **New Projects Fund** 

We have a designated New Projects Fund, which allows us to support new projects in respect of staff or buildings or outreach in advance of clear availability of funds. At year end the New Projects Fund contained £32,230 (2018/19: £26,204). In 2020/21 it is anticipated that this fund will be needed to support ongoing operational costs. An ongoing conversation with the membership seeks to raise ongoing extra income and reduce costs where possible so that reliance on this fund is eliminated and it can be used for new start-up projects. 

- **Repair and Renewal Fund** 

The Church and Church Halls are over 160 years old and we have a modern manse and modern Church Centre. We need to maintain a Repair and Renewal Reserve. Some big items of work, such as repairing roofs and windows are expensive and reserves are built up for these as needed. The Trustees recognise that if large or unexpected repair expenses occur we would need to organise an appeal. 

- **Sabbatical Fund** 

Our Ministers can take a sabbatical every seven years. The aim has been to increase this designated fund by £525 per Minister per year, to assist our Ministers with travel costs during their sabbaticals and to fund the additional preaching fees the church may need to pay during such a time. 

10 



Burlington Baptist Church Trustees Report 2019-2020 

## **Living Wage** 

The Church recognises that the mandatory minimum wage or the Government national living wage may not be sufficient for people to be able to pay their bills. The optional but higher rate set by the Living Wage Foundation is implemented for all employees. Revised rates for the Living Wage are announced each November. Pay for all employees and Minister(s) is increased from January 1st each year by the Baptist Union recommended percentage increase for ministerial stipends, unless this would leave an employee’s pay below the Living Wage level set the previous November, in which case the Living Wage rate is used. 

## **Risk assessment** 

The Trustees have carried out or overseen relevant risk assessments and believe they have taken adequate steps to manage the risks identified. 

## **Presentation currency** 

The presentation currency is £ sterling.

## _**Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 October 2020**_ 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS102. 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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. 

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest es 

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

## **Income recognition** 

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received. 

## **Donations** 

Donations are accounted for gross when received. Fixed asset gifts in kind are recognized when receivable and are included at fair value. 

## **Legacies**

|Employers National Insurance|£4,081|£4,655|
|Pensions**|(£4,570)|£11,854|
||£119,123|£132,109|

The average monthly employees during the year was 8 (2018/19: 8) 

No employee received emoluments in excess of £60,000 

Two ministers act as Trustees and received remuneration including gross pensionable salary, payrolled benefits, housing allowance, Employer NI and Employer pension in 2019/20, as employees of Burlington Baptist church totaling £55,507 (2018/19 £ 54,185). 

- Rev Simon Harris 

- Rev Claire Earl 

The Ministers received benefits in respect of their services as Minister, including the provision to the Senior Minister, of manse accommodation owned by the Church. 

Payments in respect of other post-retirement benefits are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate. 

Accrued holiday pay is not recognised in the financial statements as this is not considered to be a material component of total expenditure. 

## **5. PENSIONS** 

## **Baptist Pension Scheme** 

The Church is an employer participating in a pension scheme known as the Baptist Pension Scheme (“the Scheme”), which is administered by the Pension Trustee (Baptist Pension Trust Limited).  The Scheme is a separate legal entity and the assets of the Scheme are held separately from those of the Employer and the other participating employers. 

For any month, each participating employer in the Scheme pays contributions as set out in the Schedule of Contributions in force at that time. 

The Scheme is considered to be a multi-employer scheme as described in Section 28 of FRS 102.  This is because it is not possible to attribute the Scheme’s assets and liabilities to specific employers and means that contributions are accounted for as if the Scheme were a defined contribution scheme.  The pensions costs charged to the SoFA in the year are contributions payable towards benefits and expenses accrued in that year, plus any impact of deficiency contributions (see below). 

19 



Burlington Baptist Church Financial Statements 2019-2020 

The Minister(s) [and some members of the church staff] is / are eligible to join the Scheme. From January 2012, pension provision is being made through the Defined Contribution (DC) Plan within the Scheme. In general, members pay 8% of their Pensionable Income and employers pay 6% of members’ Pensionable Income into individual pension accounts, which are operated and managed on behalf of the Pension Trustee by Legal and General Life Assurance Society Limited. In addition, the employer pays a further 4% of Pensionable Income to cover Death in Service Benefits, administration costs, and an associated insurance policy which provides income protection for Scheme members in the event that they are unable to work due to long-term incapacity. This income protection policy has been insured by the Baptist Union of Great Britain with Aviva plc. [Members of the Basic Section pay reduced contributions of 5% of Pensionable Income, and their employers also pay a total of 5%.] The further 4% contribution rate is reduced to 3% for Employer contributions made to the Segregated DC Arrangement. 

Benefits in respect of service prior to 1 January 2012 are provided through the Defined Benefit (DB) Plan within the Scheme.  The main benefits for pre-2012 service were a defined benefit pension of one eightieth of Final Minimum Pensionable Income for each year of Pensionable Service, together with additional pension in respect of premiums paid on Pensionable Income in excess of Minimum Pensionable Income.  The Scheme, previously known as the Baptist Ministers’ Pension Fund, started in 1925, but was closed to future accrual of defined benefits on 31 December 2011. 

## **Actuarial valuation as at 31 December 2019** 

A formal valuation of the Defined Benefit (DB) Plan was performed at 31 December 2019 by a professionally qualified Actuary using the Projected Unit Method. The market value of the DB Plan assets at the valuation date was £298 million. 

The valuation of the DB Plan revealed a deficit of assets compared with the value of liabilities of £18 million (equivalent to a past service funding level of 94%).  The Church and the other employers supporting the DB Plan are collectively responsible for funding this deficit. The key assumptions underlying the valuation were as follows:

## **Recovery Plan** 

In addition to the contributions to the DC Plan set out above, where a valuation of the DB Plan reveals a deficit the Trustee and the Council agree to a rate of deficiency contributions from churches and other employers involved in the DB Plan. 

Under the current Recovery Plan dated 30 September 2020, deficiency contributions are payable until 30 June 2026. These contributions are broadly based on the employer's membership at 31 December 2014 and increase annually in line with increases to Minimum Pensionable Income as defined in the Rules. However, the Trustee and the Council agreed a 50% reduction for all deficiency contributions payable between 1 July 2020 and 31 December 2020. 

## **Movement in Balance Sheet liability** 

Section 28.11A of FRS 102 requires agreed deficit recovery payments to be recognised as a liability.  The movement in the provision is set out in the table below.
