## Structure, Governance and Management 

## Governing Document 

Godalming United Church was formed of the Methodist and United Reformed congregations of Godalming in a covenant to become one congregation which was signed on 2 January 1977 and ina Sharing Agreement signed on 24 September 1978 by which the Methodist premises were to be used for the purposes of[the][united][church.] 

Godalming United Church operates as a Local Ecumenical Partnership sponsored by Churches Together in Surrey under a Constitution dated 8 June 2011. This Constitution meets the requirements of Churches Together in England for Single Congregation Local Ecumenical Partnerships (SCLEPs). 

It is a local church of the Methodist Church in Great Britain and of the United Reformed Church in the United Kingdom. It is incorporated in the Wey Valley Circuit 36/06 of the Methodist South East District. In the United Reformed Church it is incorporated in the Wessex Synod, 9D12. 

In December 2006 Godalming United Church entered into a further local ecumenical partnership by signing the Farncombe and Godalming Group Ministry covenant. This brought together Godalming United Church with three Church of England churches in the Parishes of Godalming and Farncombe: St John the Baptist, Farncombe; St Mark, Godalming and Ss Peter and Paul, Godalming. 

## Recruitment and Appointment of new Trustees 

The Trustees are elected annually at the Annual Congregational Meeting in the Autumn of each year. Trustees are drawn from the membership of Godalming United Church. The election is for an initial term of three years. 

## Induction and Training of Trustees 

Trustees are registered members of Godalming United Church and have usually served, or are serving, on one or more of the Committees. Induction and training is principally through familiarisation with the Minutes of the Committees and attendance at the monthly Church Council meetings. On first appointment and each serving year thereafter each Trustee signs a Declaration of Eligibility form CSD-1382, a Trustee Registration Form and the Officeholder Declaration Safeguarding Form C issued by the Methodist Church.

## Organisational Structure 

Within the structure of the Constitution, the church is governed by its Congregational Meetings and Church Council with the assistance of the Stewards and the following other committees: Pastoral Visitors, Property, Mission and Outreach, Finance, Events and Youth Forum. The Church Council and Congregational Meeting have oversight of these committees and the Church Council is the managing trustee body. 

## Risks to the Charity 

The principal risks to the continuing operation of the charity are understood to be in maintaining the buildings in a sound state, meeting changing legislative requirements for health and safety, safeguarding and the need for an income from lettings in addition to the offertory collections from members. 

These risks have been mitigated by the existence of an annual programme of minor works for volunteer work parties; adoption of a current Health and Safety Executive recommended Health and Safety policy; regular updating of our register of DBS Disclosures and training requirements for safeguarding. Lettings income is administered by a Lettings Secretary and the offertory collections are administered by the Gift Aid and Envelopes Secretary, both of whom are members of the Finance Committee. 

## Objectives and Activities 

The aims of Godalming United Church are to: 

- ¢ Proclaim Jesus Christ as the head of the church and seek in all things to serve and follow His teachings and example. 

- e Express the visible unity of Christ’s church. 

- e Respond to the needs of the world family by reaching out to our neighbourhoods and the wider world with the material and spiritual resources of the gospel. 

- e Serve the local community through the use of our premises and the involvement of our members in the life of the district. 

## Objectives for the year were to: 

- e Progress Pastoral Visitor training. 

- e Identify additional uses and users for the facilities and flexibility provided by our buildings. 

- e Encourage the prayer life of the church. 

- ¢ Develop additional services/events to encourage attendance by non-members of our Church. 

- e Further progress the challenge to develop Discipleship in the Church. 

- ° Progress training and education initiative to meet the changing needs of safeguarding children and vulnerable adults. 

- e Continue to review and develop processes and guidelines to ensure a Covid secure environment allowing the premises to continue to be used for worship and lettings. 

Page 5 



## Strategies for Objectives: 

- ¢ Adoption of the pastoral training courses provided by the Godalming Baptist Church, the North East Pastoral Committee of the United Reformed Church and the Methodist Church. 

- ¢ Maintain and support the members responsible for the administration and operation of the income stream from lettings. 

- e Expand and support the facilities for Bible Study. 

- ¢ Continued adoption of the safeguarding training programme by the Methodist Church - Creating Safer Space Foundation and Refresher Modules and, where appropriate to the role, the Advanced Module. 

## Significant Activities 

Throughout the year, despite the Covid restrictions, a Sunday service of worship has taken place. For about half of the year on an intermittent basis it has been possible to have a gathered service at the church. Neither the choir nor the worship group Candela were able to take part in worship during the year. Live streaming of all services, and the ability to access service recordings via the Internet have given access to services to those members unable to attend in person, the wider community both locally, nationally and even across the world. For local members of the congregation who were unable to attend or access services on line, transcripts of services were provided. 

The two discussion groups, Qui and the Monday Bible Study Group were affected by the restrictions. Qui did manage a meeting in Autumn 2020 during a temporary easing of restrictions and restarted again in July. Both groups planned to re-commence regular meetings in the Autumn. 

A team of 8 Pastoral Visitors continue to provide care for church members throughout the year. 

Despite the reduced use of the premises, the church continued to be committed to Safeguarding so its premises and activities are a safe place for all users but especially for children and vulnerable adults. Foundation Safeguarding training was attended on line by newly appointed workers and as a refresher for those who did the initial raining four years ago. DBS disclosures were obtained or renewed as necessary. 

Throughout the year, the church’s two participating denominations and other organisations provided a variety of webinar training sessions ranging in subject matter from Dementia, Bullying, Mission, to Trustees Responsibilities. These sessions were accessed by several church members. 

The church continues to be committed to operating the Fairtrade philosophy in its social functions and trading activities where possible.

## Achievements and Performance 

The year 2020-21 can best be summed up as a stop-start year, with two Covid lockdowns, a couple of periods of limited easing of restrictions until “Freedom Day” on 19th July 2021. 

Despite the Covid restrictions, the Church Council has continued to meet regularly throughout the year either in person on line. As well as the normal agenda, the Church Council spent time ensuring that the church remained compliant with whatever the current restrictions were at the time of the meeting. Wherever possible the Church Council has been keen for as much of the church’s life to continue, but always within the parameters of what was Covid safe and legal. The Council also agreed to seek the opinion of the September 2021 Annual Congregational Meeting as to whether the church should become an Eco-Church which was supported. 

The church welcomed its new minister, the Reverend Adam Payne, his wife Kyla and daughters, Elizabeth and Molly, in September 2020. Adam’s induction service was able to take place in person at the church on 26th September 2021 during an easing of restrictions, although the congregation had to be limited to 30 people. The service was also streamed for those who could not attend. The following day at the Annual Congregational meeting, the final act of Adam’s appointment took place. Due to lockdown the initial call had been made by the URC Wessex Synod, and so at the ACM, by a unanimous vote, the call to Adam was made by GUC, which he accepted. 

The lockdowns inevitably had an effect on the church’s finances. The most significant effect was the reduction of lettings’ income. Some activities relating to vulnerable groups were exempted from lockdown and we continued to look to make the premises available for this purpose, however many of the regular lettings could no longer take place. The Lettings Secretary maintained contact with hirers, and worked with them towards the resumption of activities. The vast majority of hirers had either returned by the end of the financial year, or planned to return from September 2021. Income from freewill offerings held up with a continued increase in the number of people giving through standing orders or bank transfers. 

Again the reduction in lettings income was partially offset by cost savings achieved during periods of closure, mainly in relation to cleaning. The Property Committee were diligent in their maintenance of the building during lockdown and limited opening, and timings of works and maintenance reviewed in light of this. Regular scrutiny of performance against budget by the Treasurer and Church Council took place, with a particular focus on key income items such as lettings and freewill offerings, and monitoring the level of expenditure in light of the reduced income from lettings. 

A cautious budget has again been set for the forthcoming 2021-22 financial year, with the budget for lettings income set at the same level as 2020-21, but in the reasonable anticipation that it will not fall short as it did in 2020-21. Once again, regular monitoring will be critical to ensure that in the event that income is again impacted, that we can respond and seek to reduce costs to ensure that we are not relying on reserves. The potential to save costs in the event of complete closure, together with the availability of unrestricted reserves equivalent to six months of unrestricted payments gives trustees assurance that the organisation is a going concern.

The Trustees have continued to ensure that the Church meets the requirements of public benefit given in the guidance issued by the Charities Commission. 

At 31 August 2021 the membership stood at 130 members, a net decrease of 6 since the same time in 2020. 

Due to closure of the local branch of Barclays, the changing of the church’s bank to Natwest was commenced during the year to maintain access to local banking services. 

Many Church activities were unfortunately unable to take place during 2020-21, including Events Committee organised events, and most notably the annual pantomime. 

Mission and Outreach activities have provided financial support for the central mission funds of both the Methodist and United Reformed Churches. Although Friday lunches were unable to take place during the year, the profit from lunches held just before the initial lockdown totalling £700 was allocated between the CAB, The Cellar and the Godalming Food Banks. 

Despite the restrictions and alternative approaches needing to be taken, the Christmas collections went ahead, raising circa £1,100 for Christian Aid and £990 for Action for Children. 

Support for the Gambia continued throughout the year. A further £1,353 was sent for cataract operations, including £1,233 from the Christmas card appeal and St Hilary’s School again gave a donation from its Harvest giving for the schools in the Gambia. Another container full mainly of educational and medical supplies was packed in May, but due to the problems of transport only arrived in the Gambia in July. 

Other fundraising achievements during the year were £2,025 raised with the Lenten Appeal for Medicines sans Frontiers, and different initiatives during Christian Aid Week. 

It was a highlight of the year to be able to once again have a collection of clothes, food and toiletries for the Whitechapel Mission at the end of June this year. In addition to providing breakfasts for homeless people, the Mission has extended its work to providing lunches as well. A trailer was parked at the church for just over a week and was full when it was collected. 

As it was not possible to hold the traditional toy service in December 2020, a collection was held and as a result £411 was donated to The Cellar. The Cellar has relocated to new accommodation in the Borough Council offices, and was able to serve customers outside until a full service resumed during July. 

The Church continued its support of the Trinity Trust Team in 2020-21 through donations of £10,500, to the Methodist Church World Mission Fund of £1,800 and Churches Together in Godalming £960. 

It is anticipated that a more normal year will resume in 2021-22, with the vast majority of church activities returning.

## Financial Review & Examined Accounts 

## to 31st August 2021 

The accounts of the Church and Mission and Outreach have been examined and have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and applicable Accounting Standards in the United Kingdom including the Financial Reporting for Smaller Entities (FRSSE) (effective 1 January 2015), under the historic cost convention and the Statement of Recommended Practice ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities’ (Revised 2015). 

Income to the General Funds for the year amounted to £107,120 (2019/20 £116,138), a decrease of 8% compared to the previous year. Expenditure from the General Funds was £2,805 lower compared to 2019/20. The primary source of income is donations, offerings and letting of church premises. Further members moved to giving by standing order during the last year which helps to mitigate reductions in giving during periods of lockdown. There was a loss of income due to the continuing restrictions on activities, but hirers have returned as restrictions allowed, and there continues to be interest from new hirers. 

Income into the restricted fund in 2020/21 was income to Mission and Outreach. Funds of £7,873 (2019/20 £12,588) were distributed during the year and a further £13,415 (2019/20 £13,060) by grants and donations from unrestricted Church funds. 

The managing trustees consider that a balance on unrestricted funds equivalent of up to six months of unrestricted payments (circa £55,000) to be adequate to cover fluctuations in income and expenditure, particularly unexpected shortfalls on lettings income. Unrestricted free reserves of £48,388 at 31st August 2021 and if necessary designated reserves which are £32,500 could be utilised. This level of reserves is considered to be appropriate based on current and planned activities. 

A balance of £32,500 is now in the Fabric Reserve. due to the age of the buildings, it is felt to be prudent to have a Fabric Reserve to cover unforeseen situations requiring urgent attention beyond the Church’s ability to raise funds in a particular year. The balance of restricted funds of £968 in Mission and Outreach will be distributed in the current year. Funds balances are held with the Central Finance Board of the Methodist Church. 

The report was approved by the Trustees on 25 May 2022 and signed on its behalf by:

- e the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

- e the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.

## GODALMING UNITED CHURCH 

## Notes to the Financial Statements Year to 31°* August 2021 

## 1. Accounting Policies 

The church is a public benefit entity and the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015. “The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn. 

The particular accounting policies adopted by the trustees are described below. The level of rounding is £1 and the functional currency is Sterling. 

## Going Concern 

The accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis. The trustees have carried out a review of forecasts and budgets and believe there are sufficient resources to continue for the foreseeable future, which is defined as one year from the date of signing these accounts. 

## Accounting convention 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention and on an accruals basis. 

## Incoming resources 

All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the church is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. 

## Resources Expended 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure when there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the Charity to expenditure, it is probably that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Grants payable are payments to third parties in furtherance of the Charitable objectives of the Church. 

## VAT 

Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the expenditure heading for which it was incurred.

## Notes to the Financial Statements Year to 315* August 2021 

## Allocation of Support Costs 

All support costs are allocated to charitable activities. Governance costs are the independent examination. 

## Charitable Activities 

The expenditure on Charitable activities includes grants made and support costs. 

## Tangible fixed assets 

Depreciation is provided on cost over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The rates of depreciation are as follows:- 

Land and Buildings 1% straight line basis Fixtures, fittings and equipment 25% reducing balance basis 

The freehold land and buildings have been included in the balance sheet with effect from 1% September 2006 at values used for insurance purposes. Other assets are deemed to be fully depreciated and no value has been included for these assets. 

Assets costing less than £1,000 are not included as fixed assets, but are written off in the year. 

## Debtors 

Debtors are recognised at settlement amount. 

## Creditors 

Creditors are recognised when the Charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount to settle the obligation can be measured with reasonable reliability. Creditors are recognised at settlement amount. 

## Financial Instruments 

The Charity only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially measured at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

GODALMING UNITED CHURCH 

## Notes to the Financial Statements Year to 31%* August 2021 

## Organisations 

The accounts include the results of the church and its mission funds. Some smaller groups’ income and expenditure, and balances have not been consolidated into the results as the amounts are small and the Council consider that the value obtained by the inclusion is outweighed by the amount of work required. 

## Funds 

Donations received by the church which are specific as to the use of the funds are included as restricted funds. Other funds are unrestricted except for those designated by the Trustees. These include funds set aside for specific purposes by the Trustees.
