## **GILLINGHAM COMMUNITY CHURCH** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023. 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** 

This has been our first full year in our new premises (Wessex House) in the High Street. We have continued to develop our community work and have seen God at work in the lives of many people in the past year, and we have been blessed by a number of new people joining the church and becoming integrated into the life of the fellowship. 

## **Structure** 

At the end of this reporting period, the number of church Partners stands at 72. We have continued with a team of four Leaders, one of whom (Pete Bond) stepped out of the Team for a short period to facilitate some retraining associated with a change in paid employment. Additionally, right at the end of this reporting period, Jules Bond has begun a two-month sabbatical period. 

GCC continues to have 5 part-time employees although two employees left the church during the year and were replaced. Of the employees, two have primary responsibility for the Open Door community work, one has primarily administrative responsibilities, one has both children's work and administrative responsibilities and one has responsibility for younger children's work and our Little Shoots group. Two of the part-time employees are also on the Leaders Team, but most of their paid work is outside of their role as a Leader. The group of employees and volunteers at Wessex House have worked extremely well together over the past year and there is a unity of purpose within the team. 

The Trustees of GCC instructed solicitors to help with the process of converting GCC from a registered charity and limited company, into the single entity of a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. This process was completed on 22[nd] March 2023. At present there is a team of four Trustees, but now the conversion to a CIO is complete, it is anticipated the team will be expanded in the coming months.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Wessex House** 

Although some renovation work continues, we now have a building that largely meets the needs of the community work we are engaged in. Space for meeting together on Sunday's remains constrained, and we have no single large meeting space that can accommodate all the fellowship. At present we make use of different rooms (with local live AV streaming), and continue to explore how we can make best use of the space available. 

Current building work that is approaching completion includes provision of a dedicated counselling room, a kitchen, a Foodbank storage area, a new staircase, and a shower room for use by our drop-in clients (that will include facilities for washing and drying clothes). 

We have begun to allow outside groups to use spaces in the premises to support community activities in the town. Currently this includes the Gillingham Walking Group and a Carers Support Group. Having implemented a number of Health and Safety improvements, including a number of new policies, we are now in a position to expand the number of outside users and have opened this up for applications via our web site. 

## **Affiliations and external relationships** 

GCC continues to be a member of the Evangelical Alliance, and GCC Leaders meet regularly with the leaders of other churches in the town. 

The relationship between GCC and LifeLinks International has been valuable over the years, but there has been very little development of the LifeLinks network in the UK, which remains very small. As a result, the Leaders have explored alternative UK-based affiliations that would provide more meaningful support to the church as a whole. The affiliation with LifeLinks International was formally ended during the year, but with parting on very good terms. 

Exploration of options during the year led to ongoing talks with the Pioneer network of churches, which seems a very good 'fit' for GCC and the possibility of formal links with Pioneer is being explored. 

## **Community activities** 

## **Open Door** 

The church continues to operate 'Open Door' drop-in sessions in our High Street-facing café on Monday to Thursday mornings. This combines our food distribution for Gillingham Foodbank and poverty relief work (which take place on Mondays and Thursdays) along with our social support and help that primarily takes place on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. During all these sessions, light refreshments are offered and support is provided as needed. Our Tuesday and Wednesday sessions include socialising, prayer, games, cooking/money management sessions, craft, etc as well as discussions of spiritual matters. All sessions are managed by one of our part-time employees along with a team of volunteers and other professionals. In the reporting year we have seen a greater than 50% increase in the use of both the Foodbank and other Open Door support services. To help with the fuel poverty crisis, we also officially registered our Tuesday and Wednesday morning sessions as a 'Warm Welcome Space' to help people cope over the colder months. Happily, Open Door has become established as a real community hub, with an expanding number of regular visitors.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **Gillingham Foodbank** 

GCC remains heavily involved with the running of Gillingham Foodbank, and Wessex House is the primary distribution centre for food to clients, which occurs mainly on Monday and Thursday mornings. Many different organisations, companies and individuals have been instrumental in making the foodbank such a success, and the church relies on a number of volunteers during each food distribution session. People in need of support from the Foodbank will usually have at least two people from the church team talk with them, to try to see if there is any other support that is needed or if there are other issues relating to poverty, debt, financial management, benefits advice or mental health support that our team might be able to help with. Together with our Open Door drop-in sessions on a Tuesday and Wednesday, the church therefore continues to be an important source of help to people in the local community, especially those experiencing the effects of poverty. 

## **Debt relief, benefits support, financial management** 

Alongside our food distribution on Mondays and Thursdays we also offer support for debt management, benefits advice and financial planning through the help of professionals from Citizens Advice, who (through grant funding) are dedicated to support people we see at those times. This is a vital part of the service we provide as it helps enable us to address some of the root causes of poverty and the need for people to be dependent on the foodbank for support. 

Additional support for purchase of significant household items is made available through Acts435, and through the Foodbank we are also able to provide money for gas and/or electricity to those in particular need. 

## **Counselling service** 

During this year, we have also been able to establish a counselling service that is being offered 1-2 days per week and is run by a professional counsellor from within the church (on a voluntary basis). Mental health issues commonly go hand-in-hand with poverty and as well as giving practical help to relieve food or fuel poverty, being able to offer appropriate, professional counselling for some of those in need is a major new development for us. This service has been very successful, and has expanded to include a student counsellor who is also able to offer support under supervision. 

## **Children and youth support** 

Our children's worker runs a well-established weekly parent and toddler group ('Little Shoots') that has proved to be very popular, and we continue to be involved in local school assemblies with Sharon Williams and Jules Bond both being actively involved at Wyke and Gillingham schools. 

An after-school youth drop-in ('The Gap') has been established on Tuesday afternoons in our café area during term-time. This too is becoming well-established and is attracting a growing number of children.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **Overseas** 

Many in our fellowship have connections with Christian ministries in countries overseas, some of which we have also supported as a church. Currently our regular support as a church has been to Celebrate Hope Ministries in Uganda, Compassion, Vision for Bangladesh, and Hope Now Ukraine. 

## **Finance** 

Because of the major renovation and conversion work that continued at Wessex House throughout the year, finances continued to be tight. A substantial amount of work has now been done on the building and we have again been fortunate to receive a number of important grants to support this work, as well as the giving from the fellowship. 

A new budgeting process has been established for the coming (2023-2024) year, with revised cost centres and responsibilities. Now that the immediate essential renovation work has largely been completed, this will help improve our financial management and cash flow in the future. However, while maintaining prudent financial management is of course essential, we are conscious that as a church, we ultimately operate under God's guidance and provision. 

## **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. 

## **Summary** 

The work of the church and its role in the community has continued to grow during the past year. Our vision, especially in terms of reaching the poor and vulnerable in the community and offering them help and support has never been more important with the recent economic climate, and we have seen more people using our services as a result. 

As a church, we look to be guided by God through His Holy Spirit in the direction we are taking and seek to put His love, mercy and justice for all into action in our locality. 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.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF GILLINGHAM COMMUNITY CHURCH** 

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

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 31 March 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. 

I report in respect of my examination of the CIO’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and 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 REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF GILLINGHAM COMMUNITY CHURCH** 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. 

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 section 130 of the Charities Act; or 

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

3. the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning 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; or 

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.
