## **Trustees’ report for the year ended 31 December 2021** 

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021. The trustees who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page 1. 

In submitting their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021, the trustees have  adopted  the  provisions  of  The  Charities  Act  2011  in  preparing  the  Annual  Report  and  financial statements of the charity. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

Light and Life Free Methodist Church East Cornwall is part of the Free Methodist Church UK conference. More locally we are part of a family of Light and Life Free Methodist (FM) churches across Cornwall. Light and Life FM Church East Cornwall is led by Pastor John Townley and a trustee from each church within the charity. The trustees are elected annually at the Annual Society Meetings by the charity’s members. The Light and Life churches in the charity are part of the Free Methodist Churches in the UK Conference and the organisation structure is in keeping with The Free Methodist Book of Discipline. All members of the congregation who feel Light and Life is their spiritual home are encouraged to attend a membership course with a view to becoming members. 

## **Objectves and actvites** 

The charity is committed to promoting and spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ and enabling ordinary people to live out their faith. Contemporary worship services with relevant biblical messages are complemented with bible based, engaging and educational courses and practical community pastoral care and help. Our mission statement is: ‘To see God’s love transform lives as we follow him’. 

Where appropriate the charity also aims to relieve sickness and financial hardship and to promote and preserve good health through funds, goods or services of any kind including through the provision of pastoral advice and support and the advancement of education. 

Our missionary focus is the east region of Cornwall and Bristol, but extends to the rest of Cornwall where we are part of a larger family of Light and Life churches. The focus continues in our connection and involvement with the ministry of the Free Methodist Church nationally and internationally. 

## **Public beneft statement** 

The charity complies with the public benefit requirement through its charitable objectives. 

The Trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s aims and objectives and in planning future activities. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

Light & Life Free Methodist Church East Cornwall has continued to survive during 2021. We now have established churches in St Austell and Bodmin along with a micro-church in Liskeard and the church plant in Kingswood, Bristol. The latter has established it’s own charitable status and is a separate entity from January 1[st] 2022. 

All of our churches have re-established Sunday meetings as well as sending ‘live’ transmissions online. People have been slowly returning to these meetings depending on their own circumstances and health situations but numbers have been steadily increasing.

## _**Church reports**_ 

## **St Austell** 

Pastor Pete Godfrey shared that as he thought about the last year three words kept coming to mind - Challenge, Change, Opportunity. He linked this to James 1:2-4. In the midst of the challenge God has been and continues to be at work. One of the joys has been seeing people grow; so well done and keep going. 

He gave the statistics for the last year and how these capture something of the challenge of being one family while scattered. A number of people who have been a precious part of the family have left for various reasons. At the same time had the joy of seeing a number of people give their lives to Jesus and get baptised and many new members of the church. In the midst of the challenge God is still at work. 

## Having talked about challenge now want to talk about opportunity. 

Foodbank – we’ve fed over 3200 people over the last year, we’ve helped and supported people in practical ways through community champions and had opportunity for prayer and people to hear more about Jesus – we have a tremendous team that help and support that. Come April we will be back opening the centre, providing tea and coffee and time to chat. Stocks are very good and we continue to be blessed by people’s financial generosity. 

## Community Mission - St Austell Foodbank 

Big changes within the foodbank – two volunteers who are community champions are leaving due to personal circumstances. The Food bank co-ordinator is also intending to transition out of the role by the summer. At the same time, we’ve been exploring how we better partner with CAP – the opportunity that has stood out for us is CAP life skills, help with cooking, money, applying for jobs/CV skills and other essential life skills. Creates two key needs: 

CAP life skill coaches who we also hope will provide some of the sign posting that the community champions did. CAP life skills manager – someone who will manage and develop CAP Life Skills. This would require 2 days per week. When you add to this the need to replace the Co-ordinator and the current vacancy for a Foodbank Manager then we have the opportunity to create a full-time post managing both the Foodbank and CAP Life Skills. Financially the Foodbank is in a very good place and there is also the potential for additional external funding. 

## Children’s work: 

We are encouraged by how God is at work among the children and youth and then invited the two leaders to come and share. Youth group:  Alpha course - one non-church child gave their life to Jesus. Children are leading their own little groups within the church. The vision is for discipleship, changing to have the first hour as a youth growth group and the second hour is for inviting friends. 

Children’s church: David Abbott leading the children to be able to lead and preach, lead a session on the Holy Spirit and the children were speaking in tongues. 

## World Mission 

We continue to support David Abbott as an itinerant children’s evangelist. His reports following each trip contain inspiring accounts of how children’s lives are being transformed through prayer and ministry. In addition, we have supported Amigos and their work in Uganda that provides help to very poor communities. 

## **Bodmin** 

Pastor Jon Langford started last year’s report with, “Well, what a year to report on!” and this year seems pretty much the same! As we entered into yet another lockdown, so our services continued on Zoom – can you believe it was only last June that a few of us started to tentatively meet in the Upper Room at the Methodist Church whilst others beamed in on facebook? 

But it’s also been a significant year for us. I’m so thrilled to say that there are people with us today who we didn’t know last June – people who have found us and found a relationship with Jesus since then. And Covid may have kept us apart physically, but I believe it drew us closer together spiritually, without a doubt. So we wanted to be able to see each other when we met – no more straight lines! We maxed out the “rule of 6” to break over-large housegroups into smaller ones – ones that have been really effective as everyone now contributes, and we are going deeper with one another and with God.

A definite highlight was the baptisms last July at Daymer Bay – closest to heaven I’ve been for a long time as we baptised Karensa, Andie and Sam, and then the joy of returning in Sept to baptise Wayne. 

And of course, the other highlight was being approached by BCA last summer and asked if we’d be interested in using this shop whilst it awaited development. And what a gift it’s been. It’s brought a new freedom – a greater openness to the Holy Spirit – and new opportunities. It’s given us that much needed presence on the high street – and people have connected with us just by seeing details in the window. It’s also led to us being invited to be part of larger, town-wide events, including the recent Charrette, and we’re now part of a group of voluntary groups which have committed to working together to find public buildings we can all use. 

We’ve now run **SkillSHARE** for just over 6 months and seen so many lives changed already. We’ve seen people grow in confidence, develop their skills, and have silly photos taken in a Nativity Photo Booth! Our plan now is to seek funding for a further 3 years and up the opportunities we provide, all within the safe a secure environment that is SkillSHARE. 

But pretty much like life, it’s not straight-forward. We’ve also sadly closed Sunday services at **Liskeard** over this past year, but have so enjoyed having a remnant join us here in Bodmin, and their housegroup continues to meet faithfully. 

We’ve also increased the number of opportunities to serve, and I’m so grateful to those who faithfully support us each week. Everyone who does refreshments, worship, housegroup leading, SkillSHARE, and all the other duties – but I want to say a special thank you to Marie and Mike for running the youth and children’s work – amazing! 

And I also need to thank the CLT especially who have been amazing in what has been another demanding year as significant decisions have had to be made – and they’re doing another year! I’m especially grateful to them for the amazing job they did whilst I was on sabbatical for Jan and Feb – such clear leadership and such a desire to serve God in it. Thank you! 

And each year, I also thank my family, and Wendy especially, for putting up with me. This year especially, Wendy has been a real rock and wisdom for me – thank you. 

As a church, we are now 5 years old, and I’ve always said at every AGM that church planting is about being **INTENTIONAL, RELATIONAL AND SACRIFICIAL** . 

None of this “just happens”. The care people have shown for one another has been amazing. Whether in prison, under police investigation, looking for new properties, with Covid and without it, people have faithfully been “church family” to one another. It’s very special. And it’s intentional. 

But it’s also sacrificial. People give time and money which enables this church to operate. They invest in each other and give up other things to do so. Thank you! Forms available…! 

And notice that most of this report is about PEOPLE – that’s because at the centre of what we do is a ministry which is RELATIONAL. It’s about a relationship with Jesus and our relationships with one another. 

But THE question at our AGM is always **ARE WE BETTER DISCIPLES?** Are we following Jesus better this year than we were last? 

As we go forward, my prayer is that we will learn what it is to truly belong to this messy little community which is more like an autopsy than a Vogue model! There’s a lot of faith involved in that – especially as we don’t know where we’ll be meeting after July, but together, and full of the Spirit, we’ll keep believing in Bodmin, looking for what God is doing, and committing to follow Him whatever comes. 

And key to that is going to be a commitment to ensure that each person who CONNECTS with us will then GROW and SERVE as we looked at last week. My hope is that we can better ensure that’s happening for everyone, and that we can extend our outreach to children and families in particular. Watch this space! 

And finally, I want to thank God for his faithfulness to us as a church. So much is still fragile, and I have a feeling it’s just the way we’re going to be, but our stability is Him and all He keeps on doing amongst us. So let’s pray, let’s seek Him, and let’s take risks that see us connect, grow and serve into 2022 and way beyond.

## Notes 

_(forming part of the financial statements)_ 

- 1 **General information and basis of preparation** 

## _**1.1 Basis of accounting**_ 

Light & Life Free Methodist Church East Cornwall is an unincorporated charity registered in the England and Wales. 

The address of the registered office and the nature of the charity's operations and principal activities are given in the Trustees' Report. 

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to 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, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), 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 (Accounting and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair view'. This departure has involved following the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), including "Amendments to Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland". 

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £1. 

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out in note 2, which have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated. 

## _**1.2 Changes to accounting estimates**_ 

No changes to accounting estimates have occurred in the reporting period. 

## _**1.3 Material prior year errors**_ 

No material prior year error have been identified in the reporting period.

## Notes 

_(forming part of the financial statements)_ 

## 2 **Accounting policies** 

## _**2.1 Income**_ 

These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: 

- the charity becomes entitled to the resources; 

- the trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and 

- the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. 

Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met. 

Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. 

Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. 

The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution. 

The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees’ annual report. 

Income from interest is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably. 

## _**2.2 Expenditure and liabilities**_ 

Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty. 

No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts. 

The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts. 

## _**2.3 Assets**_ 

Tangible fixed assets are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £500. They are valued at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation less any residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows: 

Freehold property - 2% per annum on cost Fixtures, fittings and equipment - 12.5 - 25% per annum on cost 

Debtors (including trade debtors) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received.

## Notes 

_(forming part of the financial statements)_ 

## 2 **Accounting policies (continued)** 

## _**2.4 Leasing**_ 

Rental charges under operating leases are charged to the SoFA on a straight line basis over the term of the lease. 

## _**2.5 Pension costs**_ 

The pension costs charged in the financial statements represents the contributions payable to the scheme in respect of the accounting period. 

## _**2.6 Funds**_ 

Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets the criteria is allocated to the fund. 

Unrestricted funds relate to incoming resources received or generated for the charity’s purposes. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the charity’s trustees for particular purposes. 

## _**2.7 Statement of cash flows**_ 

The charity has opted to prepare the accounts under Charities SORP (FRS102) and has adopted Update Bulletin 1 and is exempted from preparing a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is a small charity.
