Trustees’ Annual Report for the period

From: 1st January 2023 To: 31st December 2023

Charity name: Romsey Baptist Church

Charity registration number: 1127624

Objectives and Activities

	SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document	Para 1.17	The principal purpose of the Church is the advancement of the Christian faith according to the principles of the Baptist denomination. The Church may also advance education and carry out other charitable purposes in the United Kingdom and/or other parts of the world.
Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts.	Para 1.17 and 1.19	In order to achieve the above principle objective, the church is active on two main fronts: Firstly, we provide a number of activities for those associated directly with the church. We meet together for public worship morning and evening each Sunday, providing an additional monthly ‘Traditional Service’. Communion of the Lord’s Supper is observed normally twice each month. We provide a full children’s programme, including teaching during Sunday morning worship, Parent and Toddler groups, Youth clubs and GRACE (girls weekday evening group). There are House groups meeting at various homes on a number of weekdays, providing support and spiritual growth within the fellowship. Secondly, we seek to reach out into the community around us. We are involved in Churches Together in Romsey, the umbrella organisation of the seven local churches. The church premises are made available for community use, and a wide range of organisations make use of the facilities. Our church works with Churches Together in Romsey for a number of united events each year. We are a Fairtrade church, support Romsey Foodbank by collecting groceries for distribution to needy people and have an


		active group supporting Christian Aid. We support the local Christians Against Poverty group financially and with a part time staff member. Every Saturday the church provides a Community cafe for all to attend, but is particularly focused towards those more vulnerable in our older-aged society.
Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit	Para 1.18	All trustees are made aware of the rights and obligations of a trustee on appointment. Confirmation of understanding is acknowledged through the signing of the document setting out said rights and obligations.

Achievements and Performance


	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	Numbers during 2023 have remained steady, if not increasing, and we have seen online users also increase. At the beginning of 2023 RBC was pleased to appoint an Associate Pastor. Fiona Blaker was the Children and Families Worker but, following a calling from God, the Church Members voted to appoint her as Associate Pastor. This is alongside supporting her in her Theology Masters studies at Moorlands College. The Youth Worker is now well established and is growing the youth program at the church. It is exciting to see the relationships he is building and the interest the youth are showing in Christ.

With the Children and Families Worker being appointed as the church’s Associate Pastor, there was a vacant position. This was filled in September with a fixed term contract being signed for one year. The Trustees have spent the year attempting to fill the post of Church Administrator. The Trustees were in a position to appoint in April but unfortunately the candidate turned down the post. When re-advertised the post was filled but due to personal commitments the position became vacant after a few months. The church and Trustees continue to look for someone to take up this role. The church also said farewell and thank you to a long standing member of staff who was responsible for Pastoral Coordination. This role is currently under review, with the intention to fill a revised post in 2024. Finally, in regards staffing, the Trustees accepted the resignation of the church Moderator after 16 months of valuable service. The church continues to support CAP, the food bank and the food pantry in Romsey. RBC held an ‘away day’ in September where the church family got together in a local venue and spent the day in worship and fellowship. It is hoped this will continue in 2024.

Financial Review

Total income £133,169 Total expenditure £175,451 Surplus - £42,282


Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	Cash at bank and in hand at 31/12/2023 is £169,179
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Para 1.22	The church needs reserves to cover its financial commitments in the event of any significant variation in its income or any significant unexpected expense. It would seem prudent to set the level of reserves to 35% of the anticipated annual spend. The amount is to be assessed annually against the budget, which is set based on our vision, commitments and anticipated income. Special attention should be paid to changes in the requirements of the Charity Commission, the BU Guidelines and any special circumstances encountered, e.g. loans, together with cash-in-hand and a carefully considered view of the expected income.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S

REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES

OF

Romsey Baptist Church

('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2023, which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out in the notes to the accounts.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

The Company’s gross income was more than £25,000 but did not exceed £250,000. An independent examination is therefore required in accordance with Charities Commission guidance.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
