KENTON METHODIST CHURCH

TRUSTEES REPORT

For the year ended 31 August 2023

Introduction

As a Methodist Church in England, Kenton Methodist Church comes under the auspices of the Methodist Church of Great Britain, whose governing body is the Methodist Conference. The authority by which the conference acts is laid out in the Methodist Church Act 1976. Since September 2006, Kenton Methodist Church has been part of the Harrow and Hillingdon Circuit in the London District.

Aims and organisation

Kenton Methodist Mission Statement is ‘Our Missions, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, is to build a community of faith and friendship and to offer worship and service to God in the name of Jesus Christ’.

Review of the year

Income trends

Church income is primarily drawn from the Sunday collections and Gift aid tax credits / lettings income paid by the external users of the building. The rental income relates to the hire of the church halls to over 20 groups in the community.

Expenditure trends

The major cost is in relation to the assessment paid to the Circuit (Harrow and Hillingdon). This amounts to 25% of the total General Fund Expenditure. The Circuit assessment is frozen at 2021 level which was £47,340.

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

The other major expenditure includes lettings and property related costs amounting to £62,551. The expenditure for lettings and property related costs went up significantly due to electrical works carried out and flooring costs. The utilities and insurance costs were £33,970.

2

Fund balances

As at 31 August 2023 the net current assets of Kenton Methodist Church was £131,368 giving approximately 8.5 months cover for expenditure.

Financial Statements

During the Financial year 2022/23 the income from offerings, tax recoverable and donations were £32,152. Additional income realised from lettings/rents, and other income £160,748. This shows an increase of £7,125 from the previous year. The increase was due to additional usage of the premises by some of the hirers. The total income for the year was £199,972. This shows an increase of £3,086 from the previous year.

Total Expenditure for the year was £186,438.

The assessment levied by Harrow and Hillingdon Circuit for 2022/23 Financial Year was £47,340. Property related costs was £54,819 and utilities, insurance and water was £33,970.

The investment of part of the total surplus funds is managed by the Central Finance Board at the Methodist Church with the aim of providing a high-quality service, seeking above average returns for long term investors, while ensuring that the securities held by all its funds are in line with the ethical investment policy of the Methodist Church. The remaining surplus is held in HSBC current account to pay for expenditure incurred in the running of the services.

Plans for 2023/24

Church financial plans for the coming year have been prepared on the basis that effective financial control monitoring of expenditure is applied so that Kenton Methodist Church would be able to build up reserves to meet any unforeseen expenditure that might arise in the future.

Notes to the Accounts: Kenton Methodist Church

1 Accounting framework The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 in accordance with the 2014 version of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities applicable in the UK (effective from 1 January 2015) — the Charities SORP (FRSSE) — in replacement for the SORP’s 2005 version specified in its related 2008 Regulations and in accordance with the ‘true and fair override’ provision contained therein.

li Public benefit entity The Kenton Methodist Church meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s) below.

iil Basis These accounts have been prepared on the basis of historical cost except that investments are shown at their market value at the end of the year. The accruals basis has been used and trustees present accounts that showa true and fair view of the District's financial position and activities.

iv Content

The financial information presented is relevant, reliable, comparable and complete. Where estimates are used these are based on experience, research and judgement. The accounts are expressed in £Sterling, rounded to the nearest pound. Rounding differences should be ignored. Where the content of this year’s accounts is different from that of the previous year, the comparative year’s numbers have been adjusted and restated to be in the same format and on the same basis.

v_ Going concern To the best of their knowledge and belief the trustees confirm that there are no material uncertainties that would call into question the District’s financial viability for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these accounts.

vi Income recognition Income is brought into account when it is more likely than not that the economic benefit of the income will be forthcoming. No attempt is made to measure the value of services donated by volunteers.

vii Expenditure This is recognised whena liability is incurred, or a constructive obligation arises, that results in the payment being unavoidable. Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Church to pay out resources.

16

xii Tangible fixed assets

These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and individually cost at least £1000. The freehold property is shown at cost.

xiii Investment Properties

No property is currently deemed to not be held for the long term purposes of the charity.

Xiiii Investments

Investments are valued in the balance sheet at market value at the year end. Investment income is included in the accounts when receivable and any gains or losses on revaluation at the year end are shown in the SOFA.

xiv Debtors and Creditors; Bank and Cash

Debtors are stated at the amounts owed to the Church or prepaid. Creditors are initially recognised at settlement amount after any trade discounts, where normal credit terms apply.

Subsequently creditors that are current liabilities are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid. The liquid funds of bank balances and deposit account balances are shown at the realisable values.

XV Changes in Accounting Policies

The basis for accounting for Tangible fixed assets has been changed based on the recommendation of the Independent Examiner. Over the years Tangible fixed assets have been accounted for in the accounts on Insurance Replacement value. No depreciation was allowed for. The Independent Examiner recommended that depreciation should be applied to the cost of Tangible fixed” assets in the accounts.

The Church Council at their meeting on 17 October 2019 agreed to adopt the Independent Examiner’s recommendation to provide for depreciation in the accounts for Tangible fixed asset.

Tangible fixed assets are depreciated at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation less their residual values over their useful lives.

Tangible fixed assets are depreciated at 5% on straight line basis.

KENTON METHODIST Church
This Report is on the Church Accounts for the year ended 31° August 2023
----- End of picture text -----

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

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

It is my responsibility to:

° examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011;

° to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Charities act; and

° to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

KENTON METHODIST CHURCH

Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. 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 any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair view” and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent Examiner’s Statement

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