-
2.2 The Church Council has 27 members who are the managing trustees of the Church. The Church Council meets five times per year.
-
2.3 The Charities Act 1996 requires the managing trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Church as at the end of the financial year and of its financial activities for that financial year.
-
2.4 The Church Treasurer is responsible on behalf of the managing trustees for maintaining proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Church and enable it to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1996.
1
-
2:5 The Church Council also appoints the members of the Finance Group who meet regularly during the year to oversee the Church's financial affairs.
-
2.0 The Church Council is responsible for ensuring that proper procedures are adopted for the safeguarding of children, young people and vulnerable adults when associated with Church activities. A Safeguarding Coordinator is appointed to administer checking procedures, training and to act as a point of contact.
-
2.7 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. The Church’s property is overseen by a Property Group whose members are appointed by Church Council. This group now includes a Health and Safety coordinator to ensure that priority is given to the maintaining of a safe environment.
-
2.8 There is a wide range of groups who are associated with the Church including the Wesley Guild, Triangle Players and Table Tennis Club who operate separate bank accounts that are subject to independent examination. Tne Church also has an Under 5s group (Tots@TMC), four children’s groups and Junior Church.
-
2.9 A General Church Meeting is held in March/April each year. This meeting receives reports on the activities and achievements of the Church and affiliated organisations (such as Brownies, Guides, Triangle Players, Wesley Guild and Table Tennis Club) and the accounts for the previous financial year; appoints the church stewards; appoints representatives to Church Council and makes decisions on significant policies or activities including the Church Project.
-
2.10 The Church employs three part-time staff; two Tots@TMC leaders and a cleaner. A fulltime salaried Children’s and Family worker was appointed from 1 June 2019. The Church pays at least the Living Wage applying increases when it is updated.
-
2.11. The Church appointed two “Data Privacy Champions” during 2018. Their actions to date have included the production and promotion of Data Privacy statements for inclusion on Church Notices, the Prayer Book, The Messenger (quarterly Church newsletter) and on the Church website and undertaking a data mapping exercise as required by TMCP (Trustees for Methodist Purposes). The champions report to the Church Council on progress and requirements.
-
2.12 In light of the current coronavirus pandemic, a task group has been appointed by the Church Council to oversee the creation of a ‘covid-safe’ environment within our buildings and monitor risk assessments of all building users.
3. Objectives and activities
- 3.1 In 2020, the Church adopted a new mission statement:
Core statement: Actively celebrating and sharing God’s unconditional love
Unpacking the core statement:
-
e Actively: we are a church alive in our community, spiritually and practically
-
e Celebrating: we acknowledge the depth of God’s love for us, and rejoice in it together
-
e Sharing: we learn more of God from each other, take the message of God's love to others, and demonstrate that love in practical ways
2
- e God's unconditional love: God loves each of us, regardless of past or circumstances. God demonstrates this through the life and example of Jesus, the Bible, and in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Detail sections expanding what this means: Worship In our worship we respond in varied ways to God’s love for everyone. We celebrate and explore our relationships with God and each other. God brings us together in worship, encouraging participation and embracing diversity.
Learning
We welcome the opportunity to learn from God’s Word and from each other throughout our lives. Everyone has something to offer from their experience, and we all have room to grow in faith. Each individual journey is different, but we travel and learn together. We encourage discovering more about God from diverse viewpoints. We recognise that this will sometimes lead to change that we may find difficult, but in God’s name we are willing to risk our comfort.
Service and Caring
Following the example of Jesus, we demonstrate God's love for everyone through service and caring. Like God’s love, our service does not stop at physical, social, or cultural boundaries.
We work within our local community to discover and respond to individual and shared needs in practical, prayerful ways. We live out God’s call in the global Kingdom, for the Earth and all who share it.
God’s story and our story (evangelism)
We rejoice in the Good News of God’s love for us, shown in Jesus Christ. In all our worship, learning, service and caring we confidently share our experiences of God’s love, so that our personal stories may help others to experience and respond to that love themselves.
3.2
The Church's charitable aims are:
-
e the provision and promotion of regular public acts of worship, events and services open to all
-
e providing for all ages a sacred space for prayer, contemplation and meeting for the furtherance of God’s work in and around Tilehurst
-
e local and international Christian outreach, teaching and support, through pastoral work, attendance at school assemblies, courses and activities, thereby aiding and demonstrating social cohesion.
-
Achievements and Performance
-
4.1 The Church buildings were closed in March 2020, in line with Government guidance due to the coronavirus pandemic. Unfortunately, due to further lockdowns in late 2020 and into 2021, the Church halls have only been used for part of the year. Several of the regular hall users have now been able to return safely and as more restrictions are lifted, it is hoped that hall use, and bookings will gradually return to previous levels. The Church has continued to open for private prayer regularly and Church services are still on-line using Zoom. However, during the summer, the services were streamed from the Church with a limited number of the congregation attending in person.
-
4.2 The Church's children’s and youth groups such as Jolly Tots, for young children with their carers, WOW (Worship on Wednesdays) for 5 to 8 year olds, GAP (God’s Awesome People) for 9 to 11 year old children and SNUG for secondary school children
3
have taken place all year, moving to an on-line presence during lockdowns and meeting again in-person as restrictions were lifted. The Children’s and Family worker provided additional resources such as craft and activity packs and other support during the time when many children were not at school. Junior Church has been on-line too with videos made by the leaders shared on Facebook and within the main Sunday service. Several sessions of Forest Junior Church took place outdoors during the year which the children really enjoyed.
-
4.3 The Listening Place, a bereavement group which meets monthly, and Feel Good Friday, a weekly friendship café, had to finish in March 2020. Sessions started again in September 2021. However, with increasing coronavirus cases in the community and the group being very busy, the decision was taken to close Feel Good Friday again until Spring 2022.
-
4.4 Events with significant community participation such as the Light Party, All Saints Service, the Noisy Nativity sessions on Christmas Eve and Easter Unscrambled did not take place in the usual way this year but were adapted to take place on-line, on social media and/or at the church in a limited way. For example, the Light Party joined with a local Pumpkin and Scarecrow trail, the Church was illuminated and decorated, and volunteers gave out treat bags. A new initiative this year “No-one should have no-one at Christmas” gave out hampers to 75 nominated people. The planned “Duggie Dug Dug” praise event has had to be postponed again.
-
4.5 A wide range of activities usually take place in the Church premises. These include Tots@TMC, a toddler group (every weekday in school term time) for children and their carers, dancing classes, table tennis, Brownies, Guides, the Wesley Guild, Triangle Players, maths tuition, fitness classes and singing groups. The Church has been liaising with these users and finding ways of safely opening the premises again, with various ‘covid-safe’ measures in place such as limited numbers, extra cleaning, socialdistancing, on-line payments, and/or mask-wearing. During the periods of lockdown, Brownies and Guides met on-line using Zoom or outside the Church halls or in the local park.
-
4.6 The Church is taking part in a food sharing scheme with the local Co-operative store to try and reduce food waste, and this has continued throughout the pandemic.
-
4.7 The Church premises include the Link, an ecumenically run coffee shop, offering a place of welcome and friendship to members of the community and work experience opportunities. The Link closed in March 2020 but has just opened again in September 2021, with reduced hours and a limited menu.
-
4.8 A few improvements planned to the Church buildings have taken place during the year with more to take place next year. A new door was fitted to the side entrance of the halls, with the cost covered by insurance. A computer, audio mixer, microphone, camera, cables, and related equipment were purchased for streaming and recording services, the expense being funded by donation and the heaters in the Church were replaced in March. New church lighting is to be installed in September 2021.
-
4.9 The Church raised £8,337 for local and international causes through fundraising events and made grants and donations of £3,270 to Methodist and other charities.
5. Financial review
- 5.1 The financial effect of the pandemic this year on the Church’s finances has again been limited. The trustees consider that the church remains viable. Offertory has increased and the Church has benefitted from the remainder of a donation (£3,325) that was given to be used for additional costs of the pandemic. The donations received from hall users has fallen significantly compared with pre-pandemic levels, and it is uncertain when income
4
will return to normal levels. Although a few necessary property improvements have taken place, many have been put on hold and there have been some reduced costs such as those for utilities and cleaning. The church also utilised the Government's coronavirus job retention scheme for all four employees during the year at various times.
-
5.2 On 31 August 2021, the cash funds of the Church totalled £201,722, an increase of £15,372 compared to the previous year. This increase can mainly be explained by a increase of £17,372 (income £43,286 and expenditure of £25,914) in the Children’s and Family worker support funds, a decrease of £2,568 in the fund to be used for additional expenses arising from the coronavirus epidemic, together with general fund increase and property fund decrease of £8,566 and £7,594 respectively. The internal church organisation’s (Tots@TMC, Triangle Players, Wesley Guild and Table Tennis Club) cash balances decreased slightly from £13,424 at the start of the year to £13,319 at the end. Triangle Players, Wesley Guild and Table Tennis Club all had very few transactions during the year. However, Triangle Players made improvements of £9,671 to the stage lights in the church’s halls, which was funded by donations from Triangle Players members.
-
5.3 £61,863 of the Church’s funds are in restricted funds which means there are restrictions on how they can be used. This total is held by church organisations (£13,319) together with the Benevolent Fund (£357), the Children’s and Family worker support funds (£47,430) which includes the monies raised from the congregation, legacy money and the balance of the Circuit/District grants, and the remainder of the coronavirus funds (£757). The Children’s and Family worker support funds substantially cover the Church’s contractual commitment. Last year, the restricted funds figure was £46,665.
-
5.4 The unrestricted cash funds of the church on 31 August 2021, comprise the general fund balance £41,845 (last year £33,280), the property fund £52,518 (last year £60,112) and the legacy funds of £45,495 (last year £46,293).
-
5.5 The insurance valuation of the church buildings is £3,165,595 and contents £162,526. The depreciated value of the organ is now £nil. Last year the total value was £3,266,124.
-
5.6 The repairs and maintenance costs of £22,137 (last year £20,987) includes computer, audio mixer, microphone, camera, cables, and related equipment of £4,247, the new hall side door (£4,410) and replacement heaters in the Church (£4,512). Electrical work of £3,400, new hall entrance door (£4,380), replacement gate (£2,300) and defibrillator costing £1,998 were the major items of expenditure last year.
-
Reserves policy
-
6.1 The activities of the Church are funded by donations from individuals and users of the premises. The Church Council approve a budget for the running of the Church annually. This budget includes provision for delivering the objectives of the Church through church services, maintaining premises which are used extensively by community groups as well as organisations that are affiliated with the Church and through donations to Methodist Church mission funds, national and local charities.
-
6.2 In setting its budget for the year the Church Council considers the projected impact of changes in the Circuit assessment, administrative expenses and the maintenance needs of premises and their impact on the general reserves of the Church.
-
6.3 The Church’s most significant item of expenditure is the monthly Circuit assessment. The Church aims to maintain general fund balances that are sufficient to fund one quarter's expenditure. In addition, the Church must also retain balances to cover various improvements that are needed to its property. Currently there is no depreciation provision in the reserve.
5
-
6.4 The offertory which is the main source of the Church’s income has increased since last year. Giving by standing order has increased as a proportion of the total and cash collections have fallen due to the coronavirus.
-
6.5 Following the advice of the insurers, an asset register has been created which includes notional depreciation of all items valued at greater than £500. This demonstrates that annual depreciation would be in the region of £15,000 and lifetime depreciation of existing assets in excess of £300,000. Maintaining reserves to cover this is neither affordable nor considered appropriate given the aims of the Church.
-
6.6 Following repair work being undertaken on the flat roof over the rear section of the Church Halls in 2016, it was estimated that expenditure of around £20,000 would be required in about 4 years. It was therefore decided to increase the property related reserve by £5,000 per year over four years.
-
6.7 Considering the above factors the Church Council believes it needs to maintain reserves of at least £75,000 comprising a general reserve of at least £25,000 and a property related reserve of at least £50,000 (including £20,000 referred to in 6.6). At 31 August 2021, the Church’s general and property account balances were £41,845 and £52,518 respectively. Additionally, the church has legacy derived funds of £57,495, (restricted £12,000 and unrestricted £45,495) and other restricted funds of £36,544. As well as supporting the ongoing costs of the Children’s and Family worker and the potential revenue reduction of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the church has planned renewals to the lighting system in the Church, improvements to the Church halls and repairs to the Link premises.
-
6.8 The restricted reserves are held for the use of the internal organisations, to cover the Church’s contractual obligations in relation to the Children’s and Family worker post and/or to be used to fund specific expenses, for example, the coronavirus fund is to be used for additional costs caused by the pandemic.
-
6.9 The Church reviews the reserves policy annually as part of the setting of its budget.
-
Risk assessment and management
-
7.1 Risk assessments relating to the Church premises are carried out on a frequent but informal basis. Additional risk assessments are carried out by group leaders for one-off events as required. It is intended to develop a more robust regime.
-
7.2 An overarching Risk Analysis has been in place for several years and is in the process of being reviewed, covering responsibilities, objectives, resource availability (people, property and finance), children and young people, insurance, legal matters and disaster recovery. The reviewed analysis has been presented to the trustees with a summary of identified priorities highlighted and is now in the process of being implemented.
-
7.3 The Finance Group considers the Church’s banking and insurance arrangements and monitors the Church’s income and expenditure regularly during the year.
-
7.4 The Church has implemented the policies of the Methodist Church in regard to Safeguarding for work with children, young people and vulnerable adults and arranged for appropriate training to be provided.
