## **GILLINGHAM COMMUNITY CHURCH** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 2019). 

## **Introduction** 

In June 2021 the church moved to its own premises, Wessex House, a little way down the High Street from the Old Library. The presence directly in the High Street and the nature of the building made it particularly suitable for expanding the community work the church has been involved in. The church has, as a result, continued and expanded its involvement in the life of the town and surrounding area. 

## **Structure** 

During the reporting year, we reduced to six to four leaders, with two stepping down from the Team. Two of the current Leaders are also part-time paid employees, but much of this paid work is outside of any role on the Leaders' Team. There are a further three part-time paid employees (Open Door Assistant Manager, two days/week; Children's Worker one day/week; and Administrator/Media Manager three days/week). 

The number of church Partners increased to 76. Some of the new Partners have left other churches, others have moved to the area. Many have got involved with groups and serving already. 

At the end of the reporting year, there were a total of 4 trustees and one additional co-opted trustee. Plans were established (with the support of the church) to change GCC from being both a Charity and an Incorporated Company, into becoming a single Charitable Incorporated Organisation, with appropriate changes to the constitution and bye-laws. A firm of solicitors were appointed to help with this process which was still ongoing at the end of the reporting year. To facilitate a smooth change, the existing trustees and co-opted trustee will remain as such until completion, at which time some changes to the trustee board will be made.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Church life Meeting together** 

National Covid-19 safety measures, including lockdowns, continued to have a major effect on how we could meet. We continued to hold Sunday meetings online initially, but were able to meet together in person during the summer in Wyke Primary School and then from September were able to hold in-person Sunday meetings in the new building (Wessex House). Live-streaming of Sunday services from Wessex House was put in place to provide for those who needed to remain at home for various reasons, or for those interested but unable to physically attend a meeting. The online streaming was found to be very helpful, especially as some had found it difficult to make the transition back to meeting together in person for various reasons after Covid-19 restrictions. 

The teaching content of Sunday talks continued, but since meeting together at Wessex House there was a particular emphasis on intergenerational talks and worship with children and adults sharing the spaces in the building together for most Sunday meetings (usually two out of three Sundays). Series subjects for the talks included being adopted into God's family, growing in Jesus, and our Vision and Mission. Small groups have continued, meeting online (via Zoom) as necessary, and one group deliberately continued to meet online, again to provide an option for those unable to get out and meet physically for various reasons. 

## **Worship** 

From the summer of 2021, music worship has again been live, but we reduced from three to two worship groups in January 2022, which generally alternate, although the hope is to go back to three groups in the future. From September 2021, Sunday evening worship meetings were held, approximately every six weeks, which complement the intergenerational focus of the morning meetings. 

## **Prayer** 

Prayer central to the life of the church. It is a feature of all small group meetings (most of which meet weekly), whether for people in the small group, the wider fellowship, outside concerns, or the church. Prayer is also a focus at Partners' meetings ('Family Forums') and during Sunday meetings and additionally, regular online (Zoom) prayer meetings were organised which were very well attended. Again, with the relaxation of Covid-related restrictions, the team of employees were also able to meet in person again for their usual Tuesday morning prayer time. A new monthly Breaking Chains online prayer meeting was established to pray for those caught up in various forms of addiction in the town, and a regular Tuesday evening Zoom prayer group was also made available for anyone in the church. 

## **Small groups** 

There were eight small groups, one meeting on Tuesday evenings, one Wednesday morning, four Wednesday evenings (one online), one Thursday mornings, and a new youth small group fortnightly on Sunday evenings. Everyone is encouraged to consider joining a small group and they are seen as an integral and vital part of the church. Generally, they are very well attended, and Andy Sparkes continued to take overall responsibility for the groups and their leaders. 

## **Courses**

## **GILLINGHAM COMMUNITY CHURCH** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

Two Know More courses (designed to enable people to find out more about GCC) were held for people new to the church and/or prospective partners. During May/June of 2021, we offered a variety of online courses, in part to provide some rest for small group leaders. We held a Kintsugi Hope course (promoting wellbeing and mental health with a Christian emphasis), a Parenting for Faith course for the parents of the church, and a Bible Course (from the Bible Society) for anyone interested in exploring the big story of the Bible further. Additional courses, which are open to non-church members also, are planned both online and in person. 

## **Pastoral care** 

Pastoral care continues to be carried out, with much of it taking place through the small groups. Everyone regularly associated with GCC is linked to a group regardless of attendance.

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Young people** 

School assemblies largely were unable to take place during this reporting year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but we were able to provide some pre-recorded assemblies. Additionally, Jules Bond was able to see all students in Year 9 at Gillingham School to deliver a tutor group assembly based on the work of the Foodbank. 

## **Wessex House** 

A considerable amount of work has been done to improve and make usable the new building. The work was undertaken partly by volunteers from among the Partners, and partly by paid trades people (funded by donations from church Partners, reserves, and grants). The new café area now hosts our Open Door drop-in four mornings a week (2 days primarily for Foodbank and debt relief; and an extra two days for building community). A youth drop-in (The Gap) has been set up in the café one afternoon a week (during term-time), and other rooms in the building are used by a couple of the small groups, two toddler groups during the week, Sunday worship meetings, family forums, and worship evenings. 

We are also planning to allow outside groups to use spaces in the premises to support non-GCC community activities in the town. However, with the new building and now having five employees there is a need to have various Health and Safety provisions in place along with formal agreements for outside groups using the building. Progress is being made to sort out these issues. 

## **Affiliations and external relationships** 

The relationship with LifeLinks International has continued. Steve Chupp (our direct link) has sent occasional encouraging videos to the church to retain contact, and the leaders have maintained regular contact with the other UK church leaders and Ian & Val Byrd, the leaders of Lifelinks. 

We continue to be members of the Evangelical Alliance and the leaders meet regularly with the leaders of other churches in the town. GCC currently holds the chair of Churches Together in Gillingham. 

## **Debt Counselling (Christians Against Poverty/Citizens Advice)** 

We made the decision to close the CAP centre in April 2021. This was partly as the Lottery Funding that had helped support the work had run out, but there had been a number of changes of personnel and processes at CAP which had increased the administrative burden for GCC. Despite relinquishing the position as a CAP debt relief centre, we still saw an important need to continue providing a service to the community to help people in debt. Generous new funding from the Foodbank has enabled us to contract Citizens Advice personnel two day per week (which includes a person being present in Wessex House two mornings a week) to provide debt help and benefits advice. This is still at an early stage, and we are looking at the format of this new service to ensure it enables us to provide the best support to people involved as possible. The service began in December 2021 and to the end of the reporting period we had (multiple) bookings from 27 different people.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

## **Gillingham Foodbank** 

GCC is still heavily involved with the Foodbank, providing volunteer helpers, committee members, financial contributions, and the use of Wessex House as the distribution centre. Many different organisations as well as individuals have been instrumental in making the foodbank such a success. The Foodbank, along with Open Door, has continued to maintain the profile of the church as being a source of help to those in need  and a contributing organisation to the life of the town and the surrounding area. 

## **Little Shoots** 

Our new children's worker started a weekly parent and toddler group on Thursday mornings (term-time), which was soon at capacity of 12 parents. As a result, a second group was started on Tuesday mornings which has been well established. 

## **Open Door** 

Our Open Door drop-in offering specific help continues at Wessex House two mornings a week. This combines our food distribution for Gillingham Foodbank, Acts435, Citizens Advice benefits/debt help alongside tea, coffee, chat, advice, and practical help. In the reporting year we saw 267 people who made 516 visits between them, despite much of the year still being impacted by Covid-19 restrictions. 

Through Acts435 we were able to fulfil seven requests for help with needed items up to the value of £150. Demand has been lower than in previous years, due in part because the Foodbank has continued to support a lot of requests for help with utilities and larger items. We also gave out 160 household cleaning/personal hygiene packs, similar to last year. 

With the appointment of an assistant manager, redeployed from doing CAP debt counselling previously, we have been able to open an additional two mornings a week for more of a relaxed community feel. This includes socialising, prayer, games, cooking/money management sessions, craft, etc as well as discussions of spiritual matters. We saw 43 different people, who made 233 visits between them, though this wasn't a full year as it didn't start until September 2021 (29 weeks in total). As is clear from the stats, this is the sort of gathering that people come to many more times. 

## **Overseas** 

Many church partners have connections with ministries in countries overseas, some of which we have supported as a church to a greater or lesser extent. Currently our regular support as a church has been to Jamaica through Fusion Jamaica, with plans to re-ignite the links with and support for Celebrate Hope Ministries in Uganda now that the impact of the pandemic is lessening. We also continued our involvement with Compassion, where the church has sponsored a child in Tanzania and various individuals have been sponsoring other children through this work. Two of our Partners are representatives for Compassion. A  new 'missions map' has been put up showing all the mission work the church partners support in the UK and around the world to encourage people to think about mission. 

## **Summary** 

The work of the church has continued to grow despite the continual impact of the pandemic during much of the year. 

Page 5 



## **GILLINGHAM COMMUNITY CHURCH** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** 

We continue to look for the guidance by the Holy Spirit in the direction we are taking and the things that we do (or cease to do). Ultimately, our aim is to serve our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, and to extend his kingdom in the place where he has brought each of us. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW Principal funding sources Finance** 

The budget that had been prepared for this financial year was inevitably superseded as a result of the purchase of Wessex House. The purchase was made possible through the generous giving of GCC Partners and attenders and through a mortgage from the Kingdom Bank. A considerable amount of work was undertaken to renovate and convert the building to make it suitable for our purposes, much of which was supported by various grants. Work is still ongoing, but the conversion and improvement work undertaken in the building has proved to be extremely valuable with a modern café area being created in the former 'shop front', a large meeting/worship area at the rear of the building, along with other meeting rooms and offices. 

Overall income was up around 24% this year compared to last year: a combination of specific giving for the building, grants for improvements to the new building, and new Partners joining the church. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The Trustees seek to retain a minimum of three months average expenditure in reserves to enable the  Church activities to continue in the short term without interruption.

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Gillingham Community Church ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2022. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b)  of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
