HOPE CHURCH ORPINGTON
DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
The Directors present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Act 2006 and "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)".
Objectives and activities
The objects of the charity are the advancement of the Christian faith and the relief of hardship. There have been no changes in the charitable objects of the church during the year. In furtherance of these objects the charity operates congregations in six locations in the local area offering a range of activities and pastoral support to both church members and the wider community.
When considering the aims and objectives in general and those that were to apply for the year, the Elders and the other Directors have considered the Commission's guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. During this year particular attention has been paid to the Government regulations and best practice surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic that has hampered activities during the year. As with many other churches we have had to adapt and change our activities at various times during the year to meet our obligations to staff, members and to the wider society.
Values statement
The church has a detailed values statement which can be summarised as follows:
We are an evangelical church being built upon apostolic and prophetic foundations to display and express the love and grace of God to the community around us committed to worship, prayer, evangelism, discipleship and building friendships that endorse family life where everyone can feel secure enough to grow.
Practices Adopted
-
The holding of regular Sunday and weekday services and meetings open to all. The worship of God, the preaching of His Word, the baptism of believers and the regular holding of Communion. Physical meetings resumed in April 2021 as the Covid-19 lockdown was eased. The central on-line service was later stopped but an inter-active live recording was maintained at one of the congregations for those who felt uncomfortable attending a physical meeting.
-
A wide range of evangelistic activities, both inside the church building and outside in the community returned to a physical setting rather than online. However, the exception was the Food HUB project which utilised one of our buildings as a food warehouse servicing foodbanks in the Borough of Bromley and was able to carry on throughout the year.
-
The provision of facilities and support for the local community had to be limited or not take place for most of the year e.g. parent and toddler resources, single parent resources, support and advice for families with children.
-
The teaching and training of both full time staff and lay members.
-
The resourcing and empowering (including the provision of personnel and finance) of other churches and of Christian work and ministries both in the UK and overseas.
These practices plus many other activities resulting from our aims and Vision Statement have continued throughout the year, with many members being involved in various types of mission work of one kind or another but subject to social distancing and travel restrictions. The use of social media to make contact has become part of the way the church does mission.
In addition it is our policy to alleviate distress and provide care when appropriate.

HOPE CHURCH ORPINGTON
DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Hope Church and the Local Community
Hope Church Orpington is a member of the Churches Together in Orpington, Bromley Common, West Wickham and regularly participates in church forums in Downham. We are also part of Transform Bromley Borough and actively participate in joint initiatives. Through our contacts and direct referrals we have been able to use funds that have been set aside to alleviate hardship caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and also to offer support and help from our staff and church members.
Part of the church's value statement is to "express the love and grace of God to the community". The Church recognises the need to serve the local community and is involved in many initiatives to achieve this; some examples were as follows:
-
Parents & Toddlers - two groups that meet every week during term time in two of the church buildings and provide a service for parents with their young children.
-
Pop In - two groups that meet every week in two of the church buildings and provide a service for the
-
older generation from the community.
-
Baby Basics – in conjunction with the Met Police Sexual Exploitation Unit, The Family Nurse Partnership, Local Bromley Young Persons, midwives and health visitors, provide essential supplies and help for vulnerable women including teenage mums, asylum seekers and domestic violence sufferers.
-
Youth Work - the youth work team also hold youth meetings and activities for teenagers and young people from the church and the local community. This is held centrally on a Friday night at St Luke’s church for all our congregations. In addition, we hold a number of targeted events and teachings based within our local congregations.
-
Single Parents - a single parents meeting is held in the church regularly, helping with life skills, dietary training and providing help and support with Social Services and the local courts.
-
Citizens Advice Bureau - the Orpington building is made available to the activities of CAB helping the local community with legal, social and general advice.
-
Schools Work - local schools are invited to visit the church as part of their religious education and training and during the year we have launched a lunch club in a local primary school.
-
Street Pastors - in conjunction with other local churches we support the street pastors in Orpington and Bromley Town Centres helping the local police and community.
-
Marriage Preparation and Support - an opportunity for couples planning to get married to get training as well as life skills for building strong marriages offered on demand.
-
Work with women exiting domestic violent relationships – support group with practical help.
-
Working in partnership with the Women in Prisons Support Group.
-
Teaching English as a second language launched online for families in the local area and further afield.
The church operates out of six locations within the London Boroughs of Bromley and Lewisham, the latest
starting in Bromley North in October 2021.
In October 2021 the Orpington congregation took over 3 units in the Orpington Walnuts Centre with approximately 23,000 sq ft of space. This is seen as a major ministry opportunity and puts the Orpington congregation at the heart of the local community and ready to serve. The units are able to facilitate a Community use and meeting HUB, a meeting place for the Orpington congregation which can hold large events together with an administration block.
The food distribution warehouse, servicing the TBB food project was able to re-locate to the Hope Centre in the Walnuts.

HOPE CHURCH ORPINGTON
DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Achievements and performance
Given that the objects of the church are to advance the Christian Faith and relieve hardship the Directors are pleased with what has been achieved during the year under review. There has been continued expansion of the work of the church in spreading the Christian faith through the six congregations now in operation. Various courses have been run to encourage Christians in their faith, and to give opportunity to those wishing to explore the Christian faith. The Alpha course was run several times online, and the Vision and Values course was run frequently for new members to the church.
In addition, grants totalling £91,506 have been made to various organisations and individuals which are advancing the Christian faith or seeking to relieve hardship including individuals involved in those activities or to individuals who are facing hardship. (This does not include food distributed in kind from the Food Hub)
Financial review
The church's principal source of income is from voluntary donations. Reviewing our financial position for 2021:
We gave away 11% of our income from church activities and ended the year with a deficit of £67,226 (2020 surplus £144,823) on unrestricted funds (including designated funds).
Gifts to external organisations and individuals are considered by the Elders and approved by the Directors on the basis of need and fulfilment of the Charitable objectives. There is no upper or lower limit of support.
The reserves policy of the charity is to maintain the reserve of a minimum of two months’ to a maximum of twelve months’ expenditure, which would cover the employment needs for approximately 3 months and act as operating capital. Two month's unrestricted fund expenditure amounted to approximately £143,500 and unrestricted reserves on general fund, excluding designated funds, held as net current assets amounted to approximately £82,716.The directors continue to look for ways in which reserves may be strengthened although it would be possible to draw on designated fund balances if the need arose (see below).
The Directors have set aside designated funds from general funds for various purposes. The amounts set aside
at the end of the year were £106,941.
Reserves which were restricted and not available for general purposes of the charity amounted to £25,497. Details of the purpose for which these funds were held are detailed in note 20 to the accounts.
A significant event after the end of the reporting period is the sale of the Goodmead Centre, 36 Chislehurst Road, Orpington BR6 0DG for £2.1m. Contracts were exchanged on the 24 August 2022 with a scheduled completion date of 10 November 2022. This freehold property is included in land and buildings in the financial statements at the year end with a net book value of £1,150,626. There is a long term bank loan associated with the property.
Impact of coronavirus (COVID19) pandemic
The impact of COVID-19 in 2020 and into 2021 with the lockdowns by the United Kingdom Government caused a huge impact on all aspects of life in the United Kingdom. Hope Church Orpington was not spared as it affected all aspects of church life and activities. However, the church managed to reach out to the community and its members with an online service and the church buildings in Orpington continued as a hub for food distribution in the area storing and distributing frozen, chilled, fresh, canned and dried food goods to various food banks and churches for wider distribution to the needy in the Borough. The Church took a cautious approach to returning to physical meetings which took place in the autumn.
Reference and administrative information is provided on the page following the cover sheet.

HOPE CHURCH ORPINGTON
DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
The Elders are responsible for monitoring risks and a Risk Register is in place which is reviewed at both Elders and Directors meetings at least annually. All major insurable risks are subject to normal church and employers' insurance. The Elders and Directors of Hope Church Orpington believe that the most acute risks facing the organisation lie in the area of health and safety: either risks in the way that we use our buildings or risks because a building’s fabric is old and not up to modern standards.
We have been doing and are continuing to do a significant amount of work in these areas by implementing a programme of repairs to our buildings, communication with staff, volunteers and church attendees, fire drills and liaison with third parties regarding security. With respect to church finances, we recognise that the church is always dependent on the continued generosity of church members and members of the public in support of the charity. Income (excluding food donated in kind) decreased by 8% during the year. The Directors are constantly monitoring cash flow and forward budget to ensure that the church can meet all its liabilities as they fall due. We do have a loan from Metro Bank which we used to purchase the Orpington Goodmead Centre. We see the loan as relatively low risk from the Bank’s perspective as it is 50% underwritten by guarantors from the church.
Plans for the future
During 2022 we will seek to remain flexible in the delivering of ministry and meeting the physical needs of the people of the Borough of Bromley and through our wider work with Regions Beyond into the UK and abroad. We will achieve this by:
-
Continuing to seek opportunities to be in the High Streets and other places of prominence where we can better serve our communities.
-
Continuing to invest in and coordinating a pan church response to the increase in poverty arising from increase in the cost of living by continuing to manage and grow the food HUB project in collaboration with TBB and the London Borough of Bromley.
-
Working with the London City Mission at our Downham Congregation to redevelop the site where the church meets to create a community HUB and worship centre within the next 12 months and allow for the expansion of community mission and congregational growth in 3 to 4 years time.
-
Increasing the number of partners who use the new Walnuts Centre facilities to reach more of the community and provide more outreach opportunities.
Structure, governance and management
The charity is a company limited by guarantee.

HOPE CHURCH ORPINGTON
DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Organisation and staffing of Hope Church - Hope Church Orpington is an orthodox, evangelical Protestant Christian church. The church is currently governed by fifteen Elders headed by a lead Elder who is employed by the Church. In total six of the Elders are employed by the Church. Two are full time and four are part time. There are also employed seven further full time staff, five part time members of staff.
A significant number of volunteer members of the church lead, sustain and develop ministries and activities of the church. Their contribution is vital to the success of the charity.
Staffing needs are kept under regular review by the Elders and other Directors. The Elders, Directors and staff are all committed members of the church, and support the vision and values of the church. Hope Church has a structured approach to staff induction, supervision and annual review. Each employee has a written job description that reflects the scope of the role and responsibility they undertake. Their line manager is responsible for coordinating a planned induction at the beginning of their employment. Regular supervision, usually monthly, is given to all employees and interns.
Salaries for staff are set annually by the salary subcommittee. They make recommendations based on performance during the year, any significant changes in responsibilities and RPI.
The oversight of the church is the responsibility of a team of fifteen Elders (Tony Hall - lead Elder, Gary Carvosso, David Jackson, Julian Sanders, Matt Lofthouse, Kennedy Mark, Mike Garforth, Colin Potter, Bruce Anderson, Peter Heath, Jerome Kalan, Darren Upton, Gideon Bodi, Mathew Bulpitt and Olayemi Shyllon), assisted by the other Directors, particularly in the administrative and regulatory oversight of the church. Trevor Payne resigned as an Elder on 1 January 2022 and Peter Harwood resigned as an Elder on 17 July 2022.
The Directors and the Elders are assisted by a team of paid employees and, in common with many churches, a large number of volunteers.
The day to day running of the charity is delegated by the Directors to the Core Team which meets weekly. The Directors agree the overall strategy and budgets, as recommended by the Core team. Two of the Directors usually sit on the Core team and are responsible for communicating any changes and representing the Directors’ decisions.
New Directors are given induction training provided by the Chair of Directors. They receive recent minutes, the latest report and accounts, the governing document and the guidance produced by Stewardship on being a Director/Trustee. Directors are encouraged to attend training and are informed of relevant opportunities.
Hope Church Orpington is part of the Regions Beyond movement and a member of the Evangelical Alliance. Neither of these bodies has control over the operation of the church or its financial affairs.

HOPE CHURCH ORPINGTON
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
1 Accounting policies
Charity information
Hope Church Orpington is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is The Goodmead Centre, 36 Chislehurst Road, Orpington, Kent, BR6 0DG.
1.1 Accounting convention
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the charity's memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Act 2006 and “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). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note..
1.2 Going concern
The Directors have considered the day to day cash flow requirements of the charity and have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least a further 12 months. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements. This assessment is undertaken in light of the recent developments arising from the coronavirus (COVID 19) pandemic. The charity has not seen a significant reduction in voluntary income since lockdown measures were imposed in the UK and the directors believe that finances will not be significantly impacted by the pandemic.
1.3 Charitable funds
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the Directors in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise funds which have been set aside at the discretion of the Directors for specific purposes. The purposes and uses of the designated funds are set out in the notes to the accounts.
Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the accounts.
1.4 Income recognition
Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.
Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid is recognised at the time of the donation.
Goods donated for distribution are valued at estimated cost to the charity were it to purchase those goods itself and are included in income when received and in grants payable when distributed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
1 Accounting policies
(Continued)
In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), general volunteer time is not recognised in these accounts. More information about the contribution of volunteers is provided in the directors' report.
1.5 Expenditure recognition
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Grants and donations payable are taken into account at the earlier of when they are paid or become legally enforceable.
Other than the normal commitments under contracts of employment there are no contractual or constructive obligations to future expenditure at the balance sheet date. Where the directors have authorised expenditure which is not yet legally enforceable or has become a constructive obligation, amounts are set aside into funds designated for the purpose.
1.6 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.. The cost of assets transferred from Hope Church Orpington trust is the market value on the date of transfer. Assets costing less than £250 are written off as an expense in the year in which the expenditure is incurred. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:
Land and buildings straight line basis over 50 years (buildings only) Improvements to short leasehold over the term of the lease to the earliest break point Fixtures, fittings & equipment straight line basis over 3 - 10 years depending on useful life
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.
1.7 Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
1.8 Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition. Items held for distribution at no or nominal consideration are measured the lower of replacement cost and cost.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.
1.9 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.10 Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
1.11 Employee benefits
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
1.12 Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

7 Description of charitable activities
Church activities
Church activities includes all expenditure directly related to the activities of the congregations meeting in Orpington, Bromley Common, West Wickham, Downham, Chislehurst and Bromley North.
Food distribution:
The figures reported relate to an initiative organised by churches in Bromley Borough, listed below, of which Hope Church Orpington is the lead church and provides warehouse space at their Orpington premises. The initiative operates under the name of Transform Bromley Borough Food Partnership (TBBFP). All the income of the initiative has been reported in these accounts and food distributed from the Orpington hub to food banks and other food distribution efforts by participating churches has been included as grants to institutions.
The majority of food received by TBBFP is from the Fareshare initiative with a very short shelf life and has been valued at 27p per kilo (2020: 26p per kilo) and included in income under the heading donated goods and services. Food purchased is included at cost. Food distributed and included in grants to organisations has been valued at cost or estimated market value in the same way as described for income. Due to the short life of the food no stock was held at the distribution centre at the year end as it is received and dispatched to food banks on the same day.
The participating churches and associated groups who have received food from the initiative are: Hope Church Orpington Bromley Christian Centre Christ Church Anerley Citygate Beckenham Whitefoot & Downham Food Plus Brook Lane Community Church Hayes Community Food Bank Living Well, Bromley St Edwards Mottingham Unity Church Community Fridge Christchurch Orpington St Nicholas Community Larder, Orpington
Jubilee Church Bromley is involved in supporting the initiative but did not receive donated food.

Defined contribution schemes
The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme for all qualifying employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity in an independently administered fund.
The charge to the statement of financial activities in respect of defined contribution schemes was £35,880 (2020: £26,798). It is not currently the policy of the charity to make a re-charge to restricted funds for any employee costs including employer pension contributions; therefore the above costs are allocated entirely against unrestricted funds.
