Membership

Rev. Philip Woolley

In 2022 membership was 106 (in 2021 108)

Rye Lane Baptist Chapel 31st December 2022

We have been grateful for the way in which Pastor Phil has continued to settle in and lead us — an ‘under-shepherd’ within God’s leadership of the congregation. Their whole family continues to be an asset and Rachel assists with the younger children in Youth and Children’s ministry and the two older boys have played an important role on the media desk. The media desk has been enhanced with new equipment to enable services to be streamed..

Key events in 2022

Rye Lane Baptist Chapel 31st December 2022

The impact of Covid19:

Covid’s impact continues with the loss of most of our very elderly members whom we miss enormously. Deaths amongst our elderly members continued in 2022, with still some from Covid, though from other illnesses as well.

Church giving:

Life groups:

In June 2022, life groups were set up. The lead on these is Ruth Bertie. Some meet weekly in people’s homes, others every two weeks. One such group meets in the church on a Thursday morning. The aim is not yet another meeting but in Pastor’s words ‘to do life together’. It is hoped that they will also function to invite non-Christians and sometimes to share meals together.

Christmas celebrations:

Pastor and his family put on an excellent Christmas lunch for people who would otherwise be on their own and some families for the asylum seeker’s English class. As well as the meal games made the afternoon a real success.

Rye Lane Baptist Chapel 31st December 2022

Vision Workshop 24 September:

The Building Committee looked to the church to provide guidance as to ‘direction of travel’ of the fellowship. Big decisions have to be made on the building options and the committee needed to know where the church felt where God was leading them on where their emphasis should be. The decisions on the building should then fit in with this emphasis and direction of travel. The workshop was held in September but the church has yet to discuss the implications and way forward.

Need to strengthen the Diaconate team:

The diaconate team needs strengthening as there are too few members currently to cover all the necessary roles. It is hoped that deacon’s nominations and elections can be held in the first few months of 2023.

Youth and Children’s Ministry

Encouraging steps forward have been made in 2022 with YCM. It is hoped that running a weeknight youth ministry will be possible during 2023, perhaps with the appointment of a paid youth worker.

Aims for the coming year:

Rye Lane Baptist Chapel 31st December 2022

Trustees Responsibilities:

The Charities Act 2011 requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the trust for that period. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to: a) Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently b) Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent c) Prepare financial statements on the ‘going concern’ basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the trust will continue in existence

They are also required to keep proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the trust. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Financial Review

.

2022 was the year we came out of the pandemic. As usual the Chapel continued to raise the majority of the funds it needed to carry out its activities from within its own membership and congregation. The remainder came from property rents and room hires. The total of our balance sheet increased from £9,682,827 by £18,823 to £9,701,650. This is a good result as many not for profit organisations have been experiencing deficits during this time. The increase includes £96,397 depreciation expenditure so as this is only a paper figure if this amount is added back then the £18,823 surplus increases to £115,120. The growth in our cash holdings demonstrates this.

Our income growth was due to loose plate collections, backdated gift aid, sizable donations to restricted funds and hall hires. Expenditure increased but not as much as we hoped for. We employed our pastor for a full year and the completion of the 2021 Media Project. Restricted fund expenditure was not as great as planned, however it still remains for use in future years.

We had a one off negative expenditure windfall due to the writing back of the Baptist Union Defined Benefit Pension Scheme liability as it was no longer needed. £120,000 was transferred from the general fund to a reserves policy designated fund to clearly show that the policy is backed by real money.

Three charts follow on the next page which portray the Chapels finances in graphical terms:-

D = Designated fund R = Restricted Fund. The Shop, Flat and 2 Cerise Road end of year balances were transferred to the General Fund at the year end. The Designated Legacy and Famine relief funds were undesignated at the year end and returned to the General fund.

This chart shows how much money is in each of our cash funds at the end of the year. The general fund has been reduced due to the transfer to the reserves policy designated fund. All funds are included but some are so small they do not show.

During 2023 the Chapel will review its cash holdings in light of the FSCS compensation scheme.

The Chapel is heavily dependent on its membership working in all aspects of its activities, most of which run having little or no impact on its expenditure, but nevertheless contribute substantially to the achievement of its objectives.

The detailed financial results for the year, together with the accounting policies adopted are set out in the accompanying financial statements.

The Chapel is a participating employer within the Defined Benefit section of the Baptist Union Pension scheme and made deficit payments to cover the costs of the past service of its employees within the scheme under a recovery plan until 31st July 2022 when the total scheme liability was sold to Just, an investment organisation which removed the Chapels liability. From 1st August 2022 for legal reasons the Chapel continues to pay a monthly nominal £1.

Reserves Policy

The Trustees have established a Reserves Policy to enable the chapel to function effectively and meet its obligations in the event of a decline in our income are a major cost.

Having considered the relevant risks of changes in income and expenditure, the trustees have determined that the appropriate level of reserves is in the range of £110,000 to £120,000 which is six months general fund expenditure in a typical year excluding major property works. During 2022 a new reserves policy designated fund was created and £120,000 transferred into it so that the financial aspects of the policy are easily identifiable and safely provided for.

Going Concern Statement

The accounts of the charity have been prepared on the basis that it is a going concern and will continue its operations in the future. The trustees are aware of no material concerns affecting its future other than the state of the national economy which is beyond their control.

Approved by the Trustees on the 1st February 2023.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Rye Lane Baptist Chapel, 59a Rye Lane, London SE1 5EX (Charity Commission number 1127757)

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31". December 2022 which are set out on pages 121035 of this Report.

It is my responsibility to :

examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;

follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity

Commissioner under section 145 (5) (b) of the 2011 Act; and

to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of the independent examiner’s report.

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission.

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 as set out in the statement below.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

a Basis of preparation

The accounts are prepared in accordance with the, Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (Charities SORP 2015), FRS102 and with the Charities Act 2011 which were implemented by the charity from 1%‘ January 2020 and has necessitated restating the 31 December 2019 accounts.

Rye Lane Baptist is a registered charity, no. 1127757_and meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognized at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

b Income recognition

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.

c Donations

Donations are accounted for gross when received. Fixed asset gifts in kind are recognized when receivable and are included at fair value.

----- Start of picture text -----
|
----- End of picture text -----

d Legacies

Legacies are accounted for when probate has been completed, the amount of the legacy can be reliably quantified and the conditions of the legacy are within the control of the Chapel.

e Investment Income

Investment income is included in the accounts in the year in which it is receivable.

f Expenditure recognition

All expenditure is accounted for on an accrual's basis. Expenditure is recognized where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Rye Lane Baptist Chapel 31st December 2022

g Costs of raising funds

The Chapel does not make formal appeals for funds, and expenditure on these items is therefore not material, limited to giving envelopes and payment card processing costs.

h Grants payable

The Chapel makes grants to other organisations whose charitable objects complement its work. They are accounted for when the recipient has been notified of the grant and payment is unconditional.

Support costs are those that assist the work of the Chapel but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs and governance cost. For simplicity's sake support costs are apportioned 80% to ministry and 20% to establishment (property). Most of the management of the Chapel is carried out without charge by volunteers. This intangible cost is not included in the Statement of Financial Activities since there is no measurable cost to the volunteers for their service.

j Fixed Assets

Tangible fixed assets are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and cost at least £1,000. They are initially recognised at cost, or for donated assets, at a reasonable estimate of their value on receipt.

There is no reliable information available for the cost of the Chapel properties and so on adoption of FRS102, insurance rebuilding valuations have been used as they are deemed to be the worth to the Chapel. The properties are not investment assets so do not have to be held at market value. They are held on trust by the London Baptist Properties Board the terms of which are that if a property is disposed of the proceeds should be restricted to the repair, refurbishment, extension, replacement or rebuilding of the premises. Accordingly, the valuation of the properties has been accounted for in a restricted freehold property fund. The properties are the Chapel, the shop with flat above at 59 Rye Lane, the Manse at 1 Cerise Road and the next door property 2 Cerise Road.

Rye Lane Baptist Chapel 31st December 2022

k Depreciation

Depreciation is provided on all fixed assets, other than freehold land, to write off the cost on a straight-line basis over their expected useful life, at the following rates:

Freehold land Nil
Buildings 1%
Sanctuary (2003) 2%
Furniture and fittings 10%
Computersandequipment 33%

| Investment Assets

Investments are initially stated at cost. Subsequently they are measured at fair value with changes recognized in the Statement of Financial Activities if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably. All other investment assets are shown at cost less impairment. At the present time the Chapel has no investment assets.

m Funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for specific purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been -aised by the charity for specific purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements. The principal restricted fund is the freehold property fund where all of the chapel properties held on trust by the London Property Board are accounted for.

Endowment funds represent those assets which must be held permanently by the charity, principally. Income arising on the endowment funds can be used in accordance with the objects of the charity and is included as unrestricted income. Any capital gains or losses arising on the investments form part of the fund. Investment management charges and legal advice relating to the fund are charged against the fund. There are no endowment funds at present.

Rye Lane Baptist Chapel 31st December 2022

n Employee benefits

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees — one in 2022, one part year in 2021. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the charity pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the charity has no further payment obligations. The contributions are recognised as an expense when they are due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the charity in an independently administered fund.

Prior to 2012 pension provision was made through multi-employer defined benefit pension plans. Where it is not possible for the charity to obtain sufficient information to enable it to account for a plan as a defined benefit plan, it accounts for the plan as a defined contribution plan.

Where the plan is in deficit and where a charity has agreed, with the plan, to participate in a deficit funding arrangement, the charity recognisesa liability for this obligation. The amount recognised is the net present value of the contributions payable under the agreement that relate to the deficit. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost and any other change in the measurement of this liability is expensed to the Statement of Financial Activities

The average number of employees during the year was 2022 one, 2021 one.

No employee received total emoluments in excess of £60,000 during the year.

The Minister acts as one of the Chapel's trustees in accordance with e.g. the Trust deed and receives remuneration of £28,544 and other benefits in respect of his services as Minister, including the provision of manse accommodation owned by the chapel as a Minister was in post.

£nil in total was reimbursed to the Trustees in respect of expenses incurred as Trustees (2021 Enil).

The Chapel pays pension deficit scheme contributions for its previous Minister to the Baptist Ministers Pension Trust Limited, which is a final salary defined benefit scheme, which is not contracted out of the State second pension. The scheme is a multi-employer scheme and it is not possible to identify the assets and liabilities of the scheme which are attributable to the Chapel. Therefore, in accordance with FRS102 Section 28, the scheme is accounted for as a defined contribution scheme. This arrangement ceased on 31st July 2022 when the liability was transferred to the Just insurance company.

Total aggregate remuneration paid to key management personnel during the year was £32,201 (2021 £15,898 nil)

23 Pensions

The Church is a participating employer of the Baptist Pension Scheme (“the Scheme”), which is a separate legal entity administered by the Pension Trustee (Baptist Pension Trust Limited). The assets of the Scheme are held separately from those of the Employer and the other participating employers.

The Scheme, previously known as the Baptist Ministers’ Pension Fund, started in 1925, but was closed to future accrual of defined benefits on 31 December 2011. Prior to this date the main benefit provided through the Defined Benefit (DB) Plan was a pension of one eightieth of final minimum pensionable income for each year of pensionable service together with additional pension in respect of premiums paid on Pensionable Income in excess of Minimum Pensionable Income.

From January 2012, pension provision is being made through the Defined Contribution (DC) Plan within the Scheme. In general, members pay 8% of their Pensionable Income and employers pay 6% of members’ Pensionable Income into individual pension accounts, which are operated and managed on behalf of the Pension Trustee by Broadstone Corporate Benefits Ltd. In addition, the employer pays a further 4% of

Pensionable Income to cover Death in Service Benefits, administration costs, and an associated insurance policy which provides income protection for Scheme members if they are unable to work due to long-term incapacity. This income protection policy has been insured by the Baptist Union of Great Britain with Aviva Limited. [Members of the Basic Section pay reduced contributions of 5% of Pensionable Income, and their employers also pay a total of 5%.]

The Scheme is considered to be a multi-employer scheme as described in Section 28 of FRS 102. Because it is not possible to attribute the Scheme’s assets and liabilities to specific employers, the scheme is accounted for as if the Scheme were a defined contribution scheme.

The Minister is eligible to join the Scheme.

Actuarial valuation as at 31 December 2019

A formal valuation of the DB Plan as at 31 December 2019 was carried out by a professionally qualified Actuary using the Projected Unit Method. At the valuation date the market value of the DB Plan assets was £298 million, whilst the level of assets needed to pay benefits was £316m, giving a deficit of £18m (equivalent to a past service funding level of 94%). The Church and the other participating employers in the DB Plan are collectively responsible for funding this deficit.

Mortality is assumed in accordance with 80% of the S3NA standard mortality table. Future improvements projected from 2013 in line with the “CMI 2019” projection with a long-term rate of improvement of 1.75% p.a. for males and 1.5% p.a. for females with the core smoothing parameter and with additional initial mortality improvement factor A=0.5%.

The next actuarial valuation of the DB Plan within the Scheme is due to take place not later than as at 31 December 2022.

Recovery Plan

In addition to the contributions to the DC Plan set out above, where a valuation of the DB Plan reveals a deficit the Trustee and the Council agree to a rate of deficiency contributions from churches and other employers involved in the DB Plan. Following the 2019 valuation a Recovery Plan was signed in September 2020 under which deficiency contributions are payable until June 2026. These contributions were broadly based on each employer's membership at 31 December 2014 and increase annually in line with increases to Minimum Pensionable Income as defined in the Rules.

On 30th June 2022 the Baptist Pension Scheme signed an agreement with the insurance company Just Group (“Just”) to secure DB Plan members’ pension benefits. Just are now providing financial backing for all pensions provided through the Scheme’s DB Plan and following this transaction, the Scheme no longer has a shortfall. An updated Recovery plan was then signed in August 2022 under which recovery contributions from each participating employer in the DB Plan reduced to £1 per month from August 2022.
