Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31st December 2020
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st December 2020. 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).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The promotion of the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ according to the doctrines and practices of the Church of England.
The PCC aim to promote the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical within the Parish.
Ensuring our work delivers our aims
When planning our activities for the year, the incumbent and the PCC have considered the Commission's guidance on public benefit and, especially, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. In particular, we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community and to facilitate this it is important that we maintain the fabric of Christ Church Bridlington. The focus of our work
The focus of our work
As a church we want everyone to hear the gospel, so that they may be in a position where they can make the choice as to whether they want to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ.
How our activities deliver public benefit
Public benefit is delivered by the church through a number of different services/activities that run throughout the year. In addition to the church services on Sunday and during the week, these activities include Restore, Practical Skills, Christ Church Community Café and others.
Who used and benefitted from our services?
All our church services are open to the general public, as is the Café. Some activities are specifically targeted for certain sectors in the community, such as Restore which offers food and other materials to the homeless and disadvantaged in the community.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Review of the year
The PCC has needed to respond to the extraordinary circumstances of a global pandemic and the effects of successive lockdowns and restrictions upon usual income streams and areas of service. The drop in income caused a review of current staffing. The Operations Manager resigned and PCC elected not to replace the role. The full time Community Services Leader was made redundant due to the closure of the operations they managed. A part time financial administrative assistant was employed from February 2020. The Practical Skills team leader and Caretaker hours were reduced.
The food bank formerly known as Doorstep was renamed Restore. It saw significant increase in activity due to the effects of the pandemic and has scaled upwards in response serving increasing numbers of families, homeless individuals and people caught in cycles of addiction.
The PCC monitored and reviewed and made decisions in regard to the national church guidance on worship during the pandemic at monthly meetings via video technology.
Congregations and church plants that make up the network of churches formed around Christ Church have moved much of their activity online.
The PCC reviewed the vision and mission of the church to ensure we maintain our focus.
Safeguarding
Christ Church PCC has a Safeguarding team that leads us in putting policy into practice so that all our churches, projects, groups and ministries are safe places for all ages to thrive. We give due regard to the House of Bishops' guidance in relation to safeguarding and work closely with the Safeguarding team of the Diocese of York. Every PCC meeting pays attention to Safeguarding and monitors/reviews the policies we have in place at appropriate intervals.

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31st December 2020
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The PCC aims to increase the current level of unrestricted reserves of £10,000 to £20,000. This is to help cover general running costs and salary costs. The increase will be achieved by putting a minimum of £5000 each year into reserves from income each year for the next two years.
Financial Overview
Christ Church has one unrestricted fund where the PCC can determine how the money is spent. It is out of this fund that the running costs of the church, including the Freewill Offering to the diocese are made. There is one designated fund used for specific purposes, but control remains with the PCC. There are a small number of restricted funds where money is received for specific purposes and is only used for these purposes.
Financial review of the year
The PCC has control of a registered charitable company limited by guarantee called Christ Church Community Services (CCS) - company registration number 2848020 and registered charity number 1025815. The company operates independently of the PCC.
This has been a highly challenging year financially, due to the various lockdowns regarding the Global Pandemic. This has seriously reduced our income stream. Other challenges we have faced is to invest in equipment to facilitate communication well, online and to make sure our buildings are Health & Safety compliant. Our Electrical systems needed significant remedial work, and this will be an ongoing situation.
The PCC has been working closely with its Community Services charity to assist with its ongoing debt, but due to the Covid pandemic it soon became clear that it had become unsustainable and is now in the hands of our solicitors Lupton Fawcett to wind up the charity.
The loan of £65,000 from the Diocese of York on behalf of the Community Services has been taken on by PCC who will now be responsible for the repayment. This loan is repayable over 5 years with the first payment due in the summer of 2021. It has come to light that Lloyds Bank have not removed the guarantee liability of £250,000 for liabilities of Christ Church Community Services to date, this is yet to be confirmed. Our Solicitors are in the process of dealing with this.
The bank accounts, which started the year with £51,705, finished with £93,638. It operates its current account without an overdraft.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
Christ Church Bridlington PCC has a policy of warmly welcoming new members. This initial verbal introduction into every trustee's personal responsibility as a trustee is followed up by the issuing of suitable publications from the Charity Commission, whose website trustees are encouraged to use.

17. RELATED PARTY DISCLOSURES
Included within other debtors, falling due within one year is a loan of £50,012 due from Christ Church Community Services.
Included within other debtors, falling due after one year is a loan of £52,000 due from Christ Church Community Services.
The above loans due from Christ Church Community Services have been provided for in full as no payment is expected to be made.
It should be noted that many of the employees and trustees provide services, offer the use of their assets and give financially to the PCC. These may constitute related party transactions. However, to preserve the anonymity of the donors and because any financial benefit received as a result is completely trivial when compared with the size of the individual gifts, these have not been listed here. Where services or assets have been provided and these are measurable then they have been recognised within these financial statements as a donation in kind within income and a relevant expense.
