Penrith Church 

TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT 

## FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2022 

## Introduction 

The managing trustees have pleasure in presenting their report and the financial statements of the church for the year ended 31 August 2022 

## Aims and organisation 

Affirming our faith in God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, our mission is to make Jesus known as Saviour and Lord by word and through meaningful worship, service and outreach, in and around Penrith and recognising our responsibility within the world and the world church. 

## Review of the year 

2021/22 has again been a difficult year as a result of the Coronavirus pandemic and some income has been significantly reduced, although some areas have recovered, resulting in the need to draw on financial reserves. However, during the year, we have continued to be a church which has at its heart a desire to "introduce other people to Jesus". We do this through our Core Values: Praise, Act, Belong and Grow, although the way in which we have been able to deliver these has been challenging and different. 

## Income trends 

Church income is primarily drawn from the Sunday collections and Gift aid tax credit, donations and lettings income paid by the congregation and external users of the building. 

The letting income relates to the hire of the church, hall and rooms to various groups in the community. 

During the year total income received was £232,194 (2021: £232,891), all of the above income streams being affected by Coronavirus, some much more than others. 

## Expenditure trends 

The major cost is in relation to the assessment paid to the Penrith Circuit. This amounts to 25.1% (2021: 38.3%) of our total cost. The Circuit assessment has decreased by 34.9% from tast year, partly due to contributions received from Kirkoswald and Alston Moor circuit as Rev. David Milner now spends two thirds of his time in that circuit and also because the assessment has been reduced to reflect the rent contribution now paid to the circuit for the property occupied by the caretaker. 

A significant amount of the Circuit assessment is used to pay the District assessment, stipends and related costs to Ministers. 

The other expenditure includes salaries, utitlites, administration and general maintenance. Repairs have included guttering replacement, electrical inspection remedial work, roofing repairs, Sandgate room refurbishment and heating repairs. 



## Fund balances 

As at 31 August 2022 the unrestricted net current assets of the Church were £175,185, giving just under twelve month's cover for expenditure, the designated net current assets are £6,504 for the Youth fund, Mission Academy, Chaplaincy, Kids Alive and library alterations, and the restricted net current assets were £61,306, which are for Eden Debt Centre, Jean Dawson outreach and youth work, and the Benevolent Fund. 

## Plans for 2022/23 

We are still being impacted by Coronavirus but Outreach and Mission continue to be increasingly important to us in the coming year. This will always be done ecumenically in relationship with other church denominations in the area. We also want to continue to grow spiritually and there will be an emphasis upon prayer and discipleship. 

Despite a continued reduction in income, many expenses will still be incurred as we maintain our buildings and property, and consequently means we have to draw on reserves in the coming year. 

We started to see a reduction in membership and income after the vote on God in Love Unites Us. This has continued and continues to impact our finances. We are intending to agree a 5 year strategy early in 2023, taking into account our plans for mission and reducing income.

## Risk Management 

The major risks have been identified and recorded by the Trustees with professional advice taken as required. There is a regular annual review process undertaken and recorded. 

Income and Expenditure is being monitored in total and is compared with the approved annual budget on a half yearly basis to detect trends as part of the risk management process to avoid unforeseen calls on reserves. 

## Safeguarding 

Every person has a value and dignity which comes directly from the creation of male and female in God’s own image and likeness. Christians see this potential as fulfilled by God’s re-creation of us in Christ. Among other things this implies a duty to value all people as bearing the image of God and therefore to protect them from harm. 

Methodist Connexional practice outlines commitment to the following principles: 

- the care and nurture of, and respectful pastoral ministry with, all children, young people and adults 

- the safeguarding and protection of all children, young people and adults when they are vulnerable 

- * the establishing of safe, caring communities which provide a loving environment where there is informed vigilance as to the dangers of abuse. 

- ¢ We will carefully select and train alt those with any responsibility within the Church, in line with Safer Recruitment principles, including the use of criminal records disclosures and registration with the relevant vetting and barring schemes. 

- ¢ We will respond without delay to every complaint made which suggests that an adult, child or young person may have been harmed, cooperating with the police and Jocal authority in any investigation. ° We will seek to work with anyone who has suffered abuse, developing with them an appropriate ministry of informed pastoral care. 

- e We will seek to challenge any abuse of power, especially by anyone in a position of trust. ¢ We will seek to offer pastoral care and support, including supervision and referral to the proper authorities, to any member of our church community known to have offended against a child, young person or vulnerable adult. 

- ¢ In all these principles we will follow legislation, guidance and recognised good practice. 

The Penrith Church commits itself to ensuring the implementation of Connexional Safeguarding Policy; government legislation, guidance and safe practice in the circuit and in the churches. 

The Penrith Church commits itself to the provision of support, advice and training for lay and ordained people that will ensure people are clear and confident about their roles and responsibilities in safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and adults who may be vulnerable. 

## Reserves Policy 

The Reserves Policy for the Church is to hold as Unrestriced funds a minimum sum equivalent to six months’ average expenditure and to cover reasonable anticipated maintenance costs. This should be sufficient to meet any unforeseen item of major expenditure on the church building and / or to be able to continue, in the short term, funding planned activities in the event of any inability to raise the full expenses including the assessment payable to the Circuit. 

The Designated funds are those received and designated for use on specific projects. To date designated funds are held to cover Penrith Mission Academy, the Chaplaincy fund, Kids Alive, library alterations, Youth and Community Outreach. 



Examiner a 7 A resolution to appoint Armstrong Watson Audit Limited as Independent Examiner for the ensuing year will “i be proposed at the Church Council Meeting in accordance with the Charities Act 2011. ss : 

Restricted funds are those received for specific projects and can only be used for such purposes. To date restricted funds have been used for the refurbishment of the hall and kitchen, the installation of a lift and for specific furnishings. Donations and grants held have been specifically received to fund the Eden Debt Centre and will be used to cover costs arising including employment of the centre manager, and towards employment costs of the Missional Pioneer and Lay Pastor. 

Endowment funds are invested with the Trustees for Methodist Church Purposes for use in accordance with bequests received. 

## Responsibilities of the Managing Trustees 

Penrith Methodist Church is held on the Model Deed of the Methodist Church and therefore the custodian trustees of the church are the Trustees for Methodist Church Purposes. Under the Methodist Church Act 1976 the members of the Church Council serve as Managing Trustees and as such fulfil the obligations laid upon them by Charity law. This requires the managing trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year that give a true and fair view of the financial state of affairs of the church including any surpluses and balances carried forward into a new financial year. 

In preparing these financial statements the managing trustees are required to adopt appropriate accounting policies, as described in the Notes to the Accounts, and apply them consistently, observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP, making judgements and estimates that are both prudent and reasonable. The managing trustees must also prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the church will continue to operate. 

The managing trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that at any time disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the church. Such records must enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the Church (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. The managing trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the church and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Expenditure This is recognised when a liability is incurred, or a constructive obligation arises, that results in the payment being unavoidable. Liabilities are recognised as soon as an outflow of economic benefit is considered more likely than not under the legal or constructive obligation committing the Circuit to pay out resources. Grants Grants made by the Church from its own funds are recognised in full at the time of agreement or when the Church accepts that there is a legal or operational obligation to make the payment. When the grant is recurrent over more than one year the balance payable in future years is treated as a provision for future commitments in the Balance Sheet against the appropriate fund, the provision being released in future years as instalments are paid in accordance with the originally agreed terms. 

## Grants

Since the Church is not VAT registered, all input VAT is charged with the expenses to which it refers. 

## Tangible fixed assets for use by the Church 

These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and individually cost at least £1,000.

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. 

## Creditors

## Cash at bank and in hand 

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. 

## Accounting Estimates 

The preparation of these financial statements requires judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Judgements and estimates are continually evaluated and are based on historical experiences and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. 

## Pensions 

The charity contributes towards the individual personal pension schemes for employees. The annual contributions payable are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities.
