Strutture. Governan￿ and Managernent
Cosham Baptist Church is a tharitable unincorp)rated association govemed by its constttutional
{approved governing) documents.
The thurch is a member of the Baptist Union of Great Britsin IBUGBI and of the Southern Counties
Baptist Association ISCBAI and supports the activities and funds of both these.
thurch Membership is open to all who:
Accept the beltefs of the church;
Meet the thurch's qualification on Baptism-
Commit themselves to semng Christ within the church and beyond:
Abide by the decisions of the Church Memberg Meetin&
Acknowledge their responsibilities as church member5:
Have their membership applicatson acopted by the Church Memberf Meeting
The usual mode of entry into church membership is following baptism by immersion upon personal
profession of faith. However Cosham Baptist Church has an open membership wJliLry, so that
persons seeking membership who have not been baptised in the manner described may at the
discretion of the of the Church Members, Meeting be occepted into full membership based on their
own public profession of faith.
Minister5 (who are also Trustees) are called {elertedl by a majority vote of church rnembers and
serve until they resign or are voted out by church members at an extraordinary church members,
meeting. Church Deacons Iwho are also Trustees) are elected from the church members by secret

ballot at the church's Annual General Meeting and serve for three year periods before needin8 re-
election.
All new Trustees are given a copy of the Charity Commissioners current leaflevguide on bein8 a
charity trustee and relevant BUGBISCBA guidance. They are entitled should they wish to attend a
training day at the church's expense to further clarify their knowled8e. The Trustees meet once per
month to review the artivities of the chtsrch and make decisions regarding the churth's activities.
Ordinary Church Members, Meet5n8s are held at regular Interrfals on not less than four occasions In
any calendar year and nomially bimonthly. These are an opportunty to consider and review routine
matters assoclated wlth the lrfe of the Church induding issues related to church membership.
One Ordlnary Church members meeting each year includes the Annual Churth members meetin8 for
the church mernbers to receive annual accounts and reports. to appolnt Audltor5 or Independent
Exarniner5 and to consider proposals for the Strnte￿ and vision of the church in the coming year.
An Extraordinary (Speciall Church members, Meetlng can be con¥*ned when necessary to consider
the appolntment or dismissal of a Minister. matters related to the Pufchase, sale, lease, mortgage or
redevelopment of thurch property or matters considered ￿ the Charity Trustees to be of sufficient
importance to requlre the callln8 of a Speclal members, Meetln8.
hl
Pandem
Although the Trustees have been able to meet using a video conferencing facility. holding regular
Meetlngs for the Church Membershlp to attend in person have been prohibited due to Government
restrlttlons. By usln8 the attendano Ilsts from prevlous Members Meetlngs and knowledge of whlch
Members doldo not have access to Internet vldeo conferendng fadlttles. the Trustees were aware
that less than IO% of the Members Ilkely to attend a Members Meetin8 would be disbaffed Sf
meetings were held only uslng an internet VIde￿COnferencin8 facility. The Trustees therefore dkl
hold video conferencing meetings to be able to communicate with the membership and invitin8
feedback. Although important decisions (except one- see below) where Church Members would be
needed to vote have not been needed. Attendance at these on-line video-conferencing meeting has
been higher than the corresponding in- person meetin8s in the Churth Buildin8s and the Trustees
will have to look at how it conducts these events in the future.
The one important decision was the electlon of TrusteeslDeacons for the year 2021. The Electlons of
new Deacons was achieved by uslng a combtnallon of postsl votlng for those wlthout an Internet
connectlon and an on-llne voting application. The number of people voting for the new
Deaconnrustees wa5 almost twice the usual number. Again the Trustee5 will have to look to see if
this would be a better method to use to determine the will of the Members in the future.

Summary of the maln achlevements of the charity durlng 2020
2020 has been the strangest of years. We began the year with a small team from Church travelling to
India to visit the Harvest India Mission but si)on after the COVID crisis happened, and the Church had
to follow the Government's social distsncing regulations and regular Church activities had to initially
cease and then change to be able to continue.
One Sunday Mornin& we did a live broadcast from the Chapel over the internet. but it became
obvious that we had neither the internet bandwidth nor the necessary technology to be able to do
this every week. We therefore switched to broadcasting a pre-recorded seNice each Sunday
Morning. Thank you to the Techno5ogy Team who had to rapidly had to learn how to splice together
different segments, recorded on various different devites. into a single coherent service; balancing
the sound, adding Bible reading & song words and load for release to the various plarforms. Thank
you also to the many Church Members who recorded short segments to be used in the Services. We
expanded the number of internet platforms that this was available on. to try to rnake sure that most
people could watch it either on a Sunday Morning or at later durin8 the week without interruptions.
We also added a local telephone number so that those without an internet connection to listen to
the service.
We also set up prayer meetings & Bible studies by purthasing tsvo licences for a video conferencing
facility IZOOM).

Because of the lack of internet broadband capability at the Church. we had lengthy negotiations with
internet/telephone providers and switched our supplier and had to install a new phone line to the
Church to be able to have an adequate broadband capability.
During this time. the Trustees took advice from the GovernmenL The Health & Safety Executive and
Baptist Together (The Baptist Union) on how to Safely operate the Church and we are grateful for
the advice that they have given us.
The over riding prlority for the Trustees was to keep everyone as safe as we reasonably Could and
èlthough the Government regulations relaxed, following a poll of the G)ngregation. althou8h
everyone hoped to return to the Chapel for live services as soon as possible. only a minority were
artually willing to do so and so we decided to prioritise and continue with the on-line pre-recorded
servites. We also made these pre-recorded services available for people to v*w at a later date.
The Trustees coutd see that these Servi￿ were being viewed on a Sunday Morntng by a sirnilar
number of people as would normally attend in perwn on a Sunday Morning Service in the Chapel.
We also became aware that many Peop￿ were watchin8 these pre-recorded sef¥iW either who
We￿ i) not a regular attendee at a Sunday Mornin8 servi￿ at the chapel or ill were watchin8 It kter
in the week at a time more convenient for them.
Although the Church had to cease the rentsl of rooms to external or8anizations (other local
charities, local support groups and the NHS etc } because of Govemrnent Restrictions. the Church
intends to offer these fxilit￿S OfKe Govemrnent restrirtion allow and the Trustees Consider It Is
safe to do so.
During the year the church partnered with Hope Into ALtTron and are sUPPOrtin8 a refugee famlly
who have moved into a house in the nei8hbourhood.
Flnan¢lal Revlew 2020
Our overall income for the year l January 2020 to 31 December 2020 was £178,993 balanced
a8ainst an expenditure of £201,812, resultin8 in a defKit o¥er the yeaT of £22.819.
Both our income and expenditure thls year We￿ s*nificantty impacted ty the restrictions to our
activltles caused by the CovKI-19 Pandernic
The main Sour￿ of income for the church remained the 8enerous voluntary giving of its members.
Most of this ume frorn re8ular standing orders which amounted to £104,584 over the year. a
decrease of £l.(MX) on the previous year. Churth collection5 were signifKantly affected because of
our inability to run Sunday services due to the pandemic. Some members gave instead by bank
transfer or cheque and several generous donations were received. Despite this, our income from
church collections and sundry donations fell by £3,5LKI to £29.101. The reduction in glving meant
that we were onty able to claim £25.670 in Gift Aid, a redurtion of £1,550. We were unable to hire
our building5 to external organisations after March which resulted in our incorne from this source
being only £5,376. a decrease of £18.598.
In an effort to minimise our out8oin85. we reviewed Ouf Budget for the year. the financlal controls
over spendin& cancelled unnecessary expenditures {e8 p￿miseS deaningl and we did furlough one

member of our administration team and claimed £2,710 under the government Job Retention
Scheme.
In January and Februaryi we Completed work on the kitchen and floor of the new manse resulting in
an expenditure of £17,107. Most of the funds for this were already earmarked from the appeal v
had had in 2018 to enable the purchase of the new manse.
The curtailment of many church artivities and in particular the reduction in church cleaning and
utility bills resulting from tlosure meant that our expenditure was reduced, although there were
some additional costs related to moving some of our activities on-line. These induded the necessary
Copyright licences and technolo8y upgrades for the pre-recording of a seryice to be shown over the
internet on a Sunday Morning because the Church buildings were either closed or under
Government restrirtions. Overall expenditure including the manse refurbishments and Children,
Youth and Families was £201,812. Additionally. we repaid £8,081 on our loan to purchase the
manse. This does not count a5 expenditure but does reduce our cash in hand by this amount.
The Children. Youth and Famllles organlsations operate a separate bank account, but their overall
accounts are integrated within the main church account. Overall incorne from these organisations in
2020 was £5,490 mainly from fees paid by parents for their children to attend the various after
school clubs and Music Makers. Expenditure was £6,755. much reduced on a nofmal year because so
many of their activities were prevented from happening. These figure5 are included in the general
accounts quoted above.
As of the 31st of December 2020, we had £51,786 in our General Fund. There was £12,274 in the
fund designated for Children, Youth and Families and £1,988 in the Bethany Fund which works with
senior citizens. The Fellowship fund retained £l,l)01 and there was £815 set aside for the Hope into
Action House (to support a refugee family living in a local house).
We had £2,827 remaining from money raised in December to enable the repatriation of the body of
one ofourchurch members to her home country of Zimbabwe. Once we can be sure that all the
funeral expenses have been met. the remaining money will be contributed to the Motherfs Union,
her preferred charity.
Taking this all into account, we have £54,776 of funds available for Reserves. This figure gradually
reduced during the year as the loss of income from Sunday Morning Se￿iCe Offerings & Room
Rental was greater than the savings we could make in Expenditure each month.
Brief Ststemert of the Cha
s Poli
on Reserves
The Trustees have agreed that our policy on Reserves would remain unthanged at a reserve target
of £45,OIN). This would be sufficient to enable a controlled closure over a period of three months in
the event of a sudden complete cessation of income. Although we would need to give some
members of staff more than three months, notice, the Trustees considered that a sudden complete
cessation of income was an unlikely scenario. It would be more likely that there would be a gradual
loss of income and. in these circumstances, reserves would be needed to give us time to tailor our
spending to the new circumstsnces. The other risks which we had anticipated might require use of
our reserves were unexpected problerns wrth the building requiring urgent work to make it safe or a
requirement for significont unexperted expenditure. The current Pandemic Emergency was of

course unforeseen. but would certainly qualify as one of the contingencies for which the reserves
are set asidel
Currently. even without counting the funds in the Children, Youth and Families account. we have
£54.776 available. Consequently we have not yet had to draw on our reserves although the Trustees
are aware that we may have to do so in 2021 as the Pandemic Emergency continues. We have
redU￿d our expenditure as much as possible, but we are aware that, as we attempt to return to a
more normal level of artivity during the coming year, expenditure is likely to increase before income
and so there may be a need to draw on our reserves. The Trustees monitor the financial situation
(including the level of ReSe￿e$l every month and will take action as needed to ensure that the
charity remains viable and so the Trustee5 are confident that it can meet its financial commitments,
& invoices.
The Church voted at a video conferencing meeting that Mr Graham Woodyet should be re-
appointed as External Examiner for the 2020 Accounts.
Declaratio

The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees. report above.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO
THE TRUSTEES OF COSHAM BAPTIST CHtSRCH
I am reporting on the ￿ll￿ts ofthe Trnst for the year ended 31 December 2020, which show an
¢xces5 of expenditure over in¢ome for the year of £22,818 and net assets of £688,473.
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Trustees consider that an audit
is not required and have elected that the accounts for the year should be examin¢d by an Inde￿ndent
ExaEniner rather than be 5ubj¢¢t to Audit.
Responsibilities ofthe Trustees and the Independent Examiner
It 15 my responsibility as the Indep¢ndent Eyaminer to examine the accounts under the provisions of the
Charities Act l993 and retxirt whether there are any matters which have c4)me to my attention.
B&8is of IndepeDdeDt Examiner'8 Report
My examination in¢luded
a review of the systems in place for controlling income and ¢wnditure
a review of thc accounting r¢cords
comparison of the accounts on which I am reporting with those records
seekin8 explanations from the trustees concerning Tnatters disclos¢d in the accounts.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all of the evidence which would be requiT¢d in an audit.
Consequently I do not cxpress an audit opinion on the vtew shown by the accounts.
Independent Examiner's statement to the Trnstees
During the Course of my review no Matte￿ have come to my attention which give m¢ Cause to believe that
the requirements to keep accounting record5 and prepar¢ accowits which comply with those records have not
been met.
Other Comments
I would draw the attentlon of the Ttwst¢es to the following key matters in th¢ awounts:
The principal asset on the Balance Sheet of the Trust is the Link Centre property which has an
aCCum￿lated capitslised cost of £513,916. 1 have not enquired into the current value of this property
aE]d no fornlal valuation has be¢n undertaken of the property. For the purposes of this report I have
assumed its present value to be no less than its cost.
