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 in a 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. 

Page 4 



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. 

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

- 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: 

- ° Progress Pastoral Visitor training. . Identify additional uses and users for the facilities and flexibility provided by our buildings. ° Encourage the prayer life of the church. . Develop additional services/events to encourage attendance by non-members of our Church. . Further progress the challenge to develop Discipleship in the Church. ° Progress training and education initiatives to meet the changing needs of safeguarding children and vulnerable adults. 

- . 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. 

- : Registration as an Eco-Church and completion of the baseline survey. . Resume Messy Church following the break enforced by Covid 

## 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. 

- ° 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. 

- . Establish an Eco-Church Working Group to complete the baseline survey and implement and plan further measures to enable us to take better care of God’s creation. 

## Significant Activities 

During 2021-22 in person services were held on every Sunday, apart from on occasions where we gathered to worship with other Christians in Godalming at a different location. Services continued to be streamed and reach a wide audience 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 Qui discussion groups continued to meet monthly, albeit with reduced numbers, with discussion emerging from the conversation, addressing issues of grief and loss, and church relevance in a changing world. The group reflected on their discussions and decided on reflection that they needed to be more intentional and look at bigger issues, such as population control as an answer to hunger and need; its impact on different age groups and the economy, including attitudes about young and old and how we manage and share the abundant resources God has provided. 

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. Safeguarding training continued and work is being carried out on holding training more locally to enable people to attend more easily. DBS disclosures were obtained or renewed as necessary. 

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 2021-22 can probably be best be described as “The Awakening’ after the end of Covid restrictions, with a full return to in person worship, and many activities restarting after the Covid enforced break, including Friday lunches, Messy Church, youth activities and the annual church pantomime. 

The Church Council has continued to meet regularly throughout the year and fulfilled its commitments both as trustees for Godalming United Church and as managing trustees for the Trustees for Methodist Church Purposes as the church premises are Methodist Trust property. 

In September 2021, the Annual Congregational Meeting, the decision was made to register the church to become an Eco-Church, and during the year thanks to the work of the Eco-Church Working Group, the Church has achieved a bronze award and is working towards getting the silver award. 

At the September 2021 Congregational Meeting, following the decision of the Methodist Conference of 2021 to allow same sex marriages in Methodist Church, it was agreed that GUC should apply to register the premises to be authorised to conduct same sex as well as heterosexual marriages and on 4th January 2022 GUC received its authorisation from the General Registry Office to do so. 

Messy Church resumed successfully during 2021-22. Messy Church is held once per half term on a Saturday afternoon, with an additional August session as part of Godalming’s holiday ‘Staycation’ event. This is an important outreach activity, and attendance varies between 16 and 40 or more children, plus their associated carers. The sessions give the opportunity to welcome families, many who are otherwise unconnected with our church, for two hours of Bible based activities. 

2021-22 also proved to be a welcome return to normality for the Church finances, although challenges remain associated with the cost of living and economic climate. Lettings returned to around pre-Covid levels, and only one hirer did not return. Interest continues to be strong for one off and regular bookings. Income from freewill offerings held up with a continued increase in the number of people giving through standing orders or bank transfers. 

Page 6 



Budget setting for the forthcoming 2022-23 financial year continues to be challenging. Although lettings have returned to pre-Covid levels, the Circuit Assessment is increasing for the first time in a number of years, resulting in a small year in year deficit being anticipated. The approach to the budget setting is cautious, which should result in a break even position being achieved. We are fortunate to be in a fixed term energy contract until August 2024, which means that we are not yet seeing the increase in energy costs arising from higher unit prices although costs will clearly increase from the premises now being fully open. Other cost pressures remain however, and regular monitoring will be continue to be important to ensure that costs are controlled and income is maximised, to ensure that we are not relying on reserves. 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 2022 the membership stood at 126 members, a net decrease of 4 since the same time in 2021. 

Mission and Outreach activities have provided financial support for the central mission funds of both the Methodist and United Reformed Churches. Friday Lunches resumed in September 2021 for the first time post-Covid and many of the regular customers returned, and new faces continue to be welcomed. A profit of £3,433 was made during the 21-22 year, and the following charities have been supported - Cellar Camino Cafe, Age UK Surrey (The Clockhouse), Farncombe Day Centre, Home Start Waverley, Church Homeless Trust, Christians Against Poverty, St Mark’s Food Bank, Citizens Advice and Guildford Action. 

Support for the Gambia continued throughout the year. A total of £2,555 was sent in support of Gambia projects, comprising £1,707 for the Ophthalmic Clinic for cataract operations and £848 for student sponsorships. 

Other fundraising achievements during the year were the Christmas collections with funds being remitted to Christian Aid (£220) and Action for Children (£361). Special appeals during the year enabled us to send funds in support of Afghanistan (£449) and Haiti (£449). £2,264 was sent to Medicines sans Frontiers for the 2021/22 Lenten Appeal. 

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. 

The Church continued its support of the Trinity Trust Team in 2021-22 through donations of £12,000, to the Methodist Church, World Mission Fund of £1,800 and Churches Together in Godalming £960. 

Looking forward, we look forward to weekly worship attendance continuing to grow, both in person and online and the growth of mission work. There are challenges ahead with the need for mission work in our community and beyond arguably being the greatest that it has been for many years, and work has started on planning new ministries to help those suffering with the cost of living.

## Financial Review & Examined Accounts 

## to 31st August 2022 

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 £116,882 (2020/21 £107,120), a decrease of 9% compared to the previous year. Expenditure from the General Funds was £6,478 higher compared to 2020/21 which is to be expected given the full re-opening of the premises. 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, and all but one hirer returned post Covid and there continues to be interest from new hirers of the premises. 

Income into the restricted and designated funds in 2021/22 comprised £12,031 relating to Mission and Outreach, and a donation to the Church towards the cost of audio visual improvements of £1,500. Restricted funds of £7,147 and designated funds of £2,200 both relating to Mission and Outreach (2020/21 £7,873) were distributed during the year, and a further £14,895 (2020/21 £13,415) 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 £58,000) to be adequate to cover fluctuations in income and expenditure, particularly unexpected shortfalls on lettings income. Unrestricted free reserves of £48,260 at 31st August 2022 and if necessary designated reserves which are £37,500 could be utilised. This level of reserves is considered to be appropriate based on current and planned activities. 

Designated funds include £1,233, being the balance on funds raised from the Friday lunches held by Mission and Outreach. These will be distributed in 2022/23. 

A balance of £37,500 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 £2,419 includes £919 relating to Mission and Outreach will be distributed in the current year, and £1,500 for audio visual improvements. Funds balances are held with the Central Finance Board of the Methodist Church. 

The report was approved by the Trustees on 21% June 2023 and signed on its behalf by:

   - « 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 315t August 2022 

## 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.
