The change of name was registered with the Charity Commission in 2016, following the relocation of the main church services out of the Heaton Moor area across to Reddish. Throughout this report we will refer to the charity as HMEC. HMEC’s governing document is a consolidated trust deed dated 5th December 2016, which combines the Trust Deed dated 29th February 1972 and the amendments thereto contained in the Deeds of Variation dated 10th May 2010 and 17th October 2016. At a formally convened church members’ meeting, the members of HMEC elect Elders and Deacons. The Elders and three Deacons are collectively named as Church Officers and they hold the position of Managing Trustee. The Federation of Independent Evangelical Churches (FIEC) act as legal advisers and FIEC Ltd is the Holding Trustee, holding property title deeds and other legal contracts in trust for HMEC. The Holding Trustee has no other powers regarding the governance and management of the charity. Throughout this document when reference is made to trustees, that is taken to mean the Managing Trustees. Regular meetings of the trustees ensure that there is agreement over direction and expenditure. The trustees are appointed to serve the members of the church and some decisions (as set out in the Rules within the Trust Deed) can only be taken following a vote of the membership. The trustees have delegated first line operational responsibility for issues such as the protection of children and vulnerable adults to small groups or individuals. Any newly appointed trustees are given the latest trustees annual reports and financial statements of the charity, the Trust Deed and notes on the duties and responsibilities of trustees. The Charity employs a Pastor, a Pastor in Training, a part-time Families worker and a part-time Administrator. We also seek to employ a Community Evangelist and a part-time Women’s worker, following receipt of a specific, earmarked gift and a grant award by the FIEC to the Church, respectively, in 2019/20. HMEC (ECC) is affiliated to the FIEC and is a member of the Northwest Partnership. ## **Charitable objectives and principal activities** The purpose of the charity is the proclamation and furtherance of the Gospel of God concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord and the preaching and teaching of the Word of God. The trustees have also reviewed the Charity Commission guidelines on public benefit and have met throughout the year to consider the additional policies and activities of the church. The trustees believe that these benefit the public by providing opportunities to meet as a community, to serve one another and to provide service to or otherwise assist those individuals in need because of social exclusion, poverty, disability or lack of opportunity. Proclamation of the gospel in word and action is a key emphasis in the activities of HMEC. Our Sunday services are for worship, teaching and prayer and are beneficial in helping the church community to live out their faith in their daily living. All are welcome to our Sunday services. **P a g e 3** **HEATON MOOR EVANGELICAL CHURCH (Operating as Emmanuel Community Church)** Activities for all ages, from babies to those in later stages of life, are undertaken with the aim of showing the love of Jesus Christ to all who come and providing an opportunity to present the message of the Gospel, through individual conversations or more formal presentations. Normal activities include the following, but due to the restrictions in 2020 as a result of Covid-19, some of these activities have had to be suspended during the latter part of the financial year. - Sunday Morning services, including crèche and children’s and youth groups - A monthly evening service - Oasis - a weekly meeting for over 55’s - 3 Parent & Toddler Groups – weekly sessions for young families - Who Let the Dads Out – a fortnightly session for dads and kids - Parent & New Baby Group - a weekly session - Parenting Skills courses - Children and youth groups - weekly clubs - Home Groups meeting weekly for Bible study, prayer and mutual encouragement - Groups for men and women - A monthly church family prayer meeting - Christianity Explored courses for any who express an interest in investigating the Christian faith - A Learning Site – to help people engage theologically with the Holy Bible - CAP – As part of a national initiative we host weekly Job Club sessions to help people getting out of debt and/or prepare for work/job applications HMEC makes grants or donations to individuals and organisations who are seeking to promote the Christian faith by word and in action. Recommendations are made to the trustees by a small group of church members known as the Global Vision Group. HMEC relies on teams of volunteers to work with members of staff in delivering its programme of activities and events. Roles undertaken by volunteers include - Playing music to support worship - Overseeing audio/visual presentation - Providing catering - Befriending adults and families - Delivering Bible teaching to small groups of children, youth and adults - Organisation of social events - Carrying out building maintenance ## **Achievements and performance in the year** For much of the period under review, the church has sought to fulfil its objectives under COVID 19 restrictions. Our regular activities such as providing opportunities for worship, teaching and fellowship, both on Sundays and midweek have been a hybrid of broadcasting pre-recorded services, meeting online (in accordance with the governments restrictions) and in person. The National Lockdown and our area’s subsequent move into Tier 4 were obvious hurdles for us. For much of the pandemic, however the church was able to meet on Sunday mornings at Houldsworth Mill in Reddish, with monthly evening services from 55 Green Lane in Heaton Moor. The bulk of our midweek community work and bible study which runs from our Green Lane premises was, however, put on hold for much of the pandemic. The majority of the teaching on Sundays is delivered by the Pastor and Trainee Pastor, with a number of members of the congregation supplementing the programme. The trustees are particularly grateful to all the people who have contributed to this work. The facilities at Houldsworth Mill have allowed for the children and young people to engage in appropriate, age related activities during every service – within the guidance provided by Government Under ordinary circumstances we would facilitate midweek clubs for children and teenagers, i.e. Mini’s (Reception and Yrs.1-2), Rise (Yrs. 3-6) and Shine (Yrs. 7-13) which have been attended by children and **P a g e 4** ## **HEATON MOOR EVANGELICAL CHURCH (Operating as Emmanuel Community Church)** young people from the church and the community. They usually meet each week during school term times. In addition to weekly activities we ran a Children's Holiday Club during the Easter Holidays at the Green Lane base, as well as a midweek Bible study group for teenagers. However, once again, for much of the year, these groups have been impacted by the COVID19 restrictions. However, where guidelines have allowed, the church has been able to continue its popular weekly Parent and Toddler Groups, and a Parent and Baby Group under the leadership of voluntary staff using online technology and materials delivered to children’s homes. A new parent Toddler group that had started at the Reddish site continues to do well and provide support and an activity for members of our community. Out of these groups there continues to be an appetite for special events such as Parenting Skills Courses and Bible studies and a separate group for Dad’s and Toddlers once a fortnight on a Saturday morning. We look forward to meeting with more freedom and regularity as well as starting up the groups that have been put on hold or conducted on-line over the pandemic. During the early part of the period covered by this report we have sought to increase our presence in the community of Reddish and therefore were able to run several community outreach events in line with our church aims and for the general flourishing of the communities in which we are placed. Historically, these have included seasonal Fun days, church testimonial events and a job club for those looking to learn new skills for employment. Whilst the government guidelines have influenced the amount of community work we could engage in, we have still sought to provide pastoral and practical care where possible. Help such as with groceries, hot meals, clothes and more for less fortunate members of our community, has been a pleasure to be able to address. We are in the process of seeing how we can further expand our social justice ministry by seeking links with various charities and by looking to take on a volunteer to head this activity up. The church’s weekly Oasis group for those over 55 years of age has not been able to meet, during the pandemic since nearly all its members are in the ‘vulnerable’ category. However thanks to an excellent team of volunteers we have continued to provide spiritual and emotional support as well as friendship during what has been a very difficult time for our elderly. Family, women’s and men’s social events are arranged from time to time to build bridges with our community and the parents of the children who attend our mid-week clubs, developing relationships which provide opportunities for support, friendship and sharing our faith, albeit this has mainly been online during the pandemic HMEC remains committed to providing pastoral care both to those who attend the church and those who live in the local area who seek our care. Within the church this is largely organised through Home Groups (smaller groups made up mostly by those who attend our regular Sunday meetings). They meet weekly for Bible study, prayer and mutual encouragement. However, the Staff and Elders also spend time visiting, teaching and praying with those who request it. The charity continues to maintain a social fund for those in the church and community who find themselves needing financial assistance. This is described more fully in note 11. The charity has maintenance responsibilities for the original Church building on Green Lane, Heaton Moor, which it owns outright, and some aspects of maintenance at Houldsworth Mill, which it leases. During the year the Church conducted a search for an Evangelist, a post funded by generous donations, but were unable to appoint. We also received a grant from the FIEC for a part-time Women’s Worker over 2 years. Both positions were filled at the beginning of 2021. We hope that both of these appointments will help strengthen our mission, vision and purpose here in Reddish and the Heatons. **P a g e 5** **HEATON MOOR EVANGELICAL CHURCH (Operating as Emmanuel Community Church)** ## **Financial review** The accounts have been prepared on the accruals basis and have been independently examined in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act. The principal source of income is donations from the congregation and other contacts. Donors are encouraged to make use of the Gift Aid facility where possible. Expenditure consists mainly of the cost of employment of those we consider necessary to fulfil our objectives, the costs of premises from which to fulfil our objectives and donations to groups whose objectives we believe to be aligned with ours. Our long-term reserves of around 2 months of expenditure are held in a deposit account with the Cooperative Bank. During the year, income from unrestricted funds was £174,418 (2018/9: £180,716), and income from restricted funds was £58,325 (2018/9: £48,050). Despite the financial impact of Covid-19, regular donations to the charity remained stable, but many one-off donations were diverted to restricted funds rather than unrestricted. Expenditure from unrestricted funds totalled £180,568 (2018/9: £194,378), and consisted mainly of staff costs, rent, mission giving, utilities, and depreciation. Expenditure was lower than last year mainly because of reduced depreciation costs as many items have been fully written down. Expenditure from restricted funds totalled £12,027 (2018/9: £2,193). There were transfers between funds of £5,145 relating to the global vision contribution to Myanmar projects. The overall result for the year after transfers was net expenditure on unrestricted funds of £11,295 (2018/9: £13,662) and this amount has been transferred from general funds. Restricted funds increased by £51,443 (2018/9: £45,857). It is not possible to quantify, in financial terms, the work done by many volunteers but the trustees recognise and are grateful for this. ## **Future developments** We continue to review how we may expand our outreach into the Reddish community, while maintaining our long established presence in the Heaton’s, the latter being something we are due to review over the coming year. Alongside our various community outreach activities, the Trustees aim to utilise the new Evangelist to build stronger connections and make further opportunities to help alleviate the social needs of our community. Following consultation with and support from the FIEC, an application has been submitted for a new CIO which will, ultimately, replace the HMEC Trust. This has been a time consuming task but it is hoped it will be completed during 2021/22 ## **Risk review, funds and reserves policy** The trustees have considered the key risks affecting the charity, and taken steps to mitigate them. They have identified the key risks as being; - q Failure to maintain church buildings in a good state of repair; - q Failure to comply with the terms of the lease re Houldsworth Mill - q Inherent risks associated with employment of staff. - q Failure to comply with regulations related to Covid-19 The trustees believe that these risks are minimised by regular meetings, development and monitoring of policies and procedures and regular consideration of financial information. **P a g e 6** **HEATON MOOR EVANGELICAL CHURCH (Operating as Emmanuel Community Church)** The trustees recognise the need for the charity to establish and maintain reserves to enable it to continue to carry out its charitable objectives in the event of unforeseeable matters arising, such as falling levels of donations or any urgent and unexpected expenditure. Free Reserves represents the total unrestricted funds of the charity less amounts tied up in fixed assets, on the basis that these cannot be sold without affecting the achievement of charitable objectives. The Trustees aim to retain sufficient Free Reserves to meet two months expenditure. In addition, from time to time, should it be justified by plans for significant projects, we may hold a greater amount, and these may be held as specific designated funds. At 30 September 2020, Free Reserves stood at £106,701 which is still significantly higher at 7 months’ (2019: 7 months’). Future investment in additional staff and outreach projects is expected to reduce free reserves and bring them back in line with the policy. During 2021, the Trustees will continue to review the level of reserves needed and develop plans accordingly to ensure adequate but not excessive reserves are held. Further details of funds are set out in note 11 of the Financial Statements. ## **Statement of Trustees responsibilities** Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its financial activities for that period. In preparing those financial statements the trustees have:- - q selected suitable accounting policies and applied them consistently; - q made judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - q stated whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and - q prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis. . The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Acts. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities Approved by the Trustees on 14[th] June 2021 and signed on their behalf by: **P a g e 7** **HEATON MOOR EVANGELICAL CHURCH (Operating as Emmanuel Community Church)** ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF HEATON MOOR EVANGELICAL CHURCH FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020** This report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2020, which are set out on pages 9 to 16, is in respect of an examination carried out in accordance with 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“The Act”) ## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts (under section 145 of the Act); - to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act); and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of this report** My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts. ## **Independent examiner's statement** In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that: - proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 130 of the Act); and - accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act; or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. ## _**Signed:**_ ## _**Date: INSERT DATE WHEN KNOWN**_ _**Helen Bolton, FCA Chartered Accountant 894 Scott Hall Rd Moortown Leeds LS17 6JZ**_ **P a g e 8** **HEATON MOOR EVANGELICAL CHURCH (Operating as Emmanuel Community Church)** |**HEATON MOOR EVANGELICAL CHURCH (Operating as Emmanuel Community Church)**|**HEATON MOOR EVANGELICAL CHURCH (Operating as Emmanuel Community Church)**|**HEATON MOOR EVANGELICAL CHURCH (Operating as Emmanuel Community Church)**|**HEATON MOOR EVANGELICAL CHURCH (Operating as Emmanuel Community Church)**|**HEATON MOOR EVANGELICAL CHURCH (Operating as Emmanuel Community Church)**|**HEATON MOOR EVANGELICAL CHURCH (Operating as Emmanuel Community Church)**|**HEATON MOOR EVANGELICAL CHURCH (Operating as Emmanuel Community Church)**|**HEATON MOOR EVANGELICAL CHURCH (Operating as Emmanuel Community Church)**| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| ||||||||| |**Statement of Financial Activities**|||||||| |**For theyear ending 30 September 2020**|||||||| ||||||||| ||Note|Unrestricted

Approved by the Trustees on 14[th] June 2021 and signed on their behalf by: **P a g e 10** **HEATON MOOR EVANGELICAL CHURCH (Operating as Emmanuel Community Church)** **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ending 30 September 2020 1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES** The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. **Basis of preparation** The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice "Accounting and reporting by Charities 2015 (FRS 102)" and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2016. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the charity is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body, nor those that are informal gatherings of church members. **Fund accounting** General funds are available at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Restricted funds are funds subject to specific restrictive conditions imposed by donors, funders or by the purpose of grants. The purpose and use of the restricted funds is set out in note 10 to the accounts. **Donations and grants and similar income** Income from donations and grants, including capital grants and donations, is accounted for when these are receivable, except when they relate to future accounting periods or when the donors or grantors impose pre-conditions that have not been met. In these cases the income is deferred until the future period and/or the conditions have been met. Tax refunds are recognised at the same time as the income to which they relate. Legacies are accounted for when the Charity is legally entitled to the amounts due. Investment income is accounted for when it is received. Where conditions are imposed which restrict the use of the income to specific purpose then it is included in income under restricted funds when it is due. **Fixed assets and Depreciation** Properties owned by the charity are considered functional assets and are included in the balance sheet at either cost less depreciation or trustees valuation. Expenditure on the building which is considered to be of a maintenance nature is not capitalised but written off in the year the work is done. The open market value of functional property may be in excess of its recorded net book value. Valuations are not carried out in respect of buildings on the basis that there is no intention to dispose of them, and to pay for a valuation would not be considered good use of the assets of the Charity Depreciation of tangible fixed assets is provided in order to write off the cost or valuation, after taking account of scrap values, over the expected useful lives as follows:Furniture and Equipment 20% on cost less residual value Freehold land and property 1% on cost less residual value Property improvements 2% on cost less residual value **P a g e 11** **HEATON MOOR EVANGELICAL CHURCH (Operating as Emmanuel Community Church)** |||||||||| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |**NOTES TO THE FINANCIALSTATEMENTS For the year ending 30 September 2020 (Cont.)**||||||||| |||||||||| |**2.

his wife. Donations have been received from individuals to enable the charity to do this
without putting unwarranted pressure on general funds. When the loan is subsequently
repaid, donors will be consulted to determine whether their donations may be transferred
to general funds or used for other purposes. Until that time they will be held as restricted

often made by individuals to support this work. The trustees have also agreed to allocate
a significant propertion of the global vision budget to support the work. Income and

from general funds representing the allocation from the global vision budget.||||||| |||||||||| **P a g e 15** **HEATON MOOR EVANGELICAL CHURCH (Operating as Emmanuel Community Church)** |**NOTES TO THE FINANCIALSTATEMENTS For the year ending 30 September 2020 (Cont.)**|**NOTES TO THE FINANCIALSTATEMENTS For the year ending 30 September 2020 (Cont.)**|**NOTES TO THE FINANCIALSTATEMENTS For the year ending 30 September 2020 (Cont.)**|**NOTES TO THE FINANCIALSTATEMENTS For the year ending 30 September 2020 (Cont.)**|**NOTES TO THE FINANCIALSTATEMENTS For the year ending 30 September 2020 (Cont.)**|**NOTES TO THE FINANCIALSTATEMENTS For the year ending 30 September 2020 (Cont.)**|**NOTES TO THE FINANCIALSTATEMENTS For the year ending 30 September 2020 (Cont.)**|**NOTES TO THE FINANCIALSTATEMENTS For the year ending 30 September 2020 (Cont.)**|**NOTES TO THE FINANCIALSTATEMENTS For the year ending 30 September 2020 (Cont.)**| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |**11.

furniture and equipment at both sites, and the long term loan to the Pastor. As there is no
intention to dispose of the assets, these funds are not considered to be readily available
for the charity to use in its day to day operations. A transfer is made to free reserves to
cover the depreciation charge on tangible fixed assets, so that balances reduce in line
with depreciation.||||||| |||||||||| |**General free reserves**||Free reserves represent funds that are not restricted or designated for specific
purposes or invested in fixed assets. The trustees have resolved in the past to hold free
reserves at a minimum of 2 months' running costs which would be c£30,000. They will
review this policy and consider options to utilise the excess in the next few years.||||||| **P a g e 16**
