CHATSWORTH BAPTIST CHURCH
Report of the Deacons for the year ended 30 September 2021
The Deacons present their report and the financial statements of Chatsworth Baptist Church for the year ended 30 September 2021, which have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102).
Structure, Governance and Management
The Church's activities are supervised and managed by the Minister and Deacons, who are the trustees for charity law purposes. Deacons are chosen from among Church members by an election process laid down in the constitution. Induction training is held for all Deacons and other training courses are undertaken as necessary.
During this period the Church employed the Senior Pastor, an Administrative Assistant and a Youth and Children’s Worker. Various part-time staff worked on caretaking duties and in various groups. Some of these staff were unable to work during part of the year and were placed on furlough.
The key management personnel of the Church as listed on page 1 are in charge of directing, controlling, running and operating the Church on a day to day basis. All Deacons give of their time freely and no Deacon received any remuneration in the year. Details of Deacons’ expenses and related party transactions are disclosed in Note 19 to the financial statements. The pay of the minister and other senior staff is reviewed annually taking account of recommendations made by the Baptist Union of Great Britain.
Objectives and Activities
The mission of Chatsworth Baptist Church is “To know, love and serve Christ in the community.” Its charitable purposes are set out in the constitution and include the advancement of the Christian religion and education.
A wide range of activities are undertaken in pursuance of these objectives. More details of activities are provided in the Minister's Report on page 2.
Financial review
The income and expenditure of the Church was affected significantly by the Coronavirus pandemic. This led to restrictions on the Church’s operations, and in particular to a reduction in rental income, which was zero for large parts of the financial year. As noted above, several members of staff were furloughed for part of the financial year, and appropriate claims were made under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme. The Church continued to receive income from its members despite the pandemic. The combined effect of all these factors was that the Church continued to operate as a going concern throughout the financial year.
The Church continues to rely on large gifts from a small number of church members. There can be no assurance that, given the current economic conditions, these large gifts will recur or that giving from other Church members will be maintained at its current level.
The Church also received during the financial year a grant towards refurbishment and improvement of another part of the premises, principally to develop an area dedicated to youth work. Work on this project began towards the end of the financial year, following further fundraising activities directed primarily at church members.
Reserves policy
The Church seeks to retain reserves in the General Fund equal to approximately three months’ expenditure. The policy is to increase these reserves over time with a target of one year’s expenditure as well as to increase the balance of the Building Fund to cover planned and unexpected expenditure.
The General Fund reserves stood at a surplus of £217 at 30 September 2021 (2020: deficit of £32,390), which fell short of the target reserves. The Church intends to increase reserves as and when large gifts are received.
The Deacons are confident that the Church can continue to operate as a going concern, despite the effect of the Coronavirus pandemic on our finances. This confidence is based on the experience of operations over the period since March 2020.

CHATSWORTH BAPTIST CHURCH
Report of the Deacons for the year ended 30 September 2021
Buildings
We have a prominent site in West Norwood and a large suite of buildings there and at our two manses. Maintenance of these buildings, together with the cost of heating, lighting and other services, is a significant part of the church budget.
Our long term aim is to create a sustainable building which can serve the needs of the Church and the surrounding community for many years to come. Achievement of this aim depends on the availability of finance.
A Buildings Group continues to operate and is working on the future strategy for all our buildings, as well as on dealing with the many minor issues which come up all the time.
Public benefit
The Church's activities are considered regularly in the light of the guidance published by the Charity Commission on public benefit. The Deacons have regard to this guidance in exercising their powers and duties. Some examples of the public benefits flowing from the pursuit of the Church's aims and objectives are: the provision of regular services of public worship, providing pastoral care to those with whom the Church has contact, and providing facilities for children's, senior citizens' and other community activities.
Risk review
The Deacons review the risks of the operations of the Church regularly and take appropriate action where possible to mitigate those risks. The key risks which have been identified and key actions which have been taken are shown in the table below.
| taken are shown in the table below. | |
|---|---|

| The Church has buildings which are constantly in need of maintenance and renewal. |
Long term programme of building work with a view to creating a sustainable building. |
| The Church is dependent on key staff such as the Minister and the Youth and Children’s Worker. |
The Deacons seek to follow best practice in employment of staff as recommended by the Baptist Union of Great Britain. |
| The Church is vulnerable to external pressures, such as changes in legislation which may be inconsistent with its aims or which may affect its financial viability. |
Membership of key bodies such as the Baptist Union of Great Britain and the London Baptist Association which are able to influence legislation and guidelines at a national and local level. |
Investment policy
The Church has no investments. Any surplus cash is invested in bank deposits or deposits with the London Baptist Property Board.

CHATSWORTH BAPTIST CHURCH Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2021
1 Accounting policies
Chatsworth Baptist Church is an unincorporated charity registered in England and Wales. The operation address is Chatsworth Way, West Norwood, London SE27 9HN.
a) Basis of accounting
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”), “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102, the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015. The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
b) Going concern
At the time of approving the financial statements, the Deacons have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the Deacons continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
c) Income
Voluntary income and donations (including legacies) are accounted for once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be reliably measured. Where material assets are donated to the company for its use, these are capitalised at the estimated market value at the date of the gift and included under income.
Job Retention Scheme government grant income
JRS grant income is recognised in the period to which the underlying furloughed staff costs relate.
d) Expenditure
Expenditure is accrued as soon as a liability is considered probable, discounted to present value for longer term liabilities. Charitable expenditure includes all support costs in respect of the company’s activities.
This comprises expenditure on compliance with statutory legal requirements and is included in charitable activities.
e) Fund structure
The funds held by the Church are either:
-
Unrestricted general funds - these are funds which can be used in accordance with the Church's objects at the discretion of the Deacons.
-
Designated funds - these are funds set aside by the Deacons out of unrestricted general funds for specific future purposes or projects.
-
Restricted funds - these are funds that can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the Church. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

CHATSWORTH BAPTIST CHURCH Notes to the financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2021 (continued)
1 Accounting policies (continued)
f) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are included in the balance sheet at cost or at market value at the date of the gift.
Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write off the full cost or valuation less estimated residual value of each asset over its estimated useful life. The principal rates in use are:
Freehold buildings 2% on cost Flat roofs 5% on cost Furniture, fixtures and fittings 10% on cost Office equipment 25% on cost
The deacons consider that the properties have a residual value that renders any depreciation immaterial and accordingly no depreciation has been charged in these accounts.
The Church building and two residential properties (valued for insurance purposes at a combined £4.35m) and the Church site are under the custodian trusteeship of the London Baptist Property Board and the church is the beneficial owner.
g) Debtors
Other debtors are included at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.
h) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of opening of the deposit.
i) Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation arising from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are recognised at their settlement amount. Concessionary loans are included at historic cost.
j) Financial instruments
The charity only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
k) Hire purchase and lease transactions
Assets acquired under hire purchase agreements and finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet and are depreciated in accordance with the company's normal policy. The outstanding liabilities under such agreements less interest not yet due are included in creditors and are also disclosed on the basis of when the liabilities are due within one year, between two and five years and after five years. Interest on such agreements is charged to the profit and loss account over the term of each agreement and represents a constant proportion of the balance of capital repayments outstanding.
l) Pension costs
The church pays contributions to the Baptist Ministers Pension Trust Limited which is a final salary defined benefit scheme. The scheme is a multi-employer scheme and it is not possible to identify the assets and liabilities of the scheme which are attributable to the church. The scheme is therefore accounted for as a defined contribution scheme.

20 Pension commitments and other post-retirement benefits
Defined benefit scheme
Background to the disclosure
The Church is an employer participating in a pension scheme known as the Baptist Pension Scheme (“the Scheme”), which is administered by the Pension Trustee (Baptist Pension Trust Limited). The Scheme is a separate legal entity and the assets of the Scheme are held separately from those of the Employer and the other participating employers.
For any month, each participating employer in the Scheme pays contributions as set out in the Schedule of Contributions in force at that time.
The Scheme is considered to be a multi-employer scheme as described in Section 28 of FRS 102. This is because it is not possible to attribute the Scheme’s assets and liabilities to specific employers and means that contributions are accounted for as if the Scheme were a defined contribution scheme. The pensions costs charged to the SoFA in the year are contributions payable towards benefits and expenses accrued in that year, plus any impact of deficiency contributions (see below).
The Minister is eligible to join the Scheme.
From January 2012, pension provision is being made through the Defined Contribution (DC) Plan within the Scheme. In general, members pay 8% of their Pensionable Income and employers pay 6% of members’ Pensionable Income into individual pension accounts, which are operated and managed on behalf of the Pension Trustee by Legal and General Life Assurance Society Limited. In addition, the employer pays a further 4% of Pensionable Income to cover Death in Service Benefits, administration costs, and an associated insurance policy which provides income protection for Scheme members in the event that they are unable to work due to long-term incapacity. This income protection policy has been insured by the Baptist Union of Great Britain with Aviva plc. The further 4% contribution rate is reduced to 3% for Employer contributions made to the Segregated DC Arrangement.
Benefits in respect of service prior to 1 January 2012 are provided through the Defined Benefit (DB) Plan within the Scheme. The main benefits for pre-2012 service were a defined benefit pension of one eightieth of Final Minimum Pensionable Income for each year of Pensionable Service, together with additional pension in respect of premiums paid on Pensionable Income in excess of Minimum Pensionable Income. The Scheme, previously known as the Baptist Ministers’ Pension Fund, started in 1925, but was closed to future accrual of defined benefits on 31 December 2011.
Actuarial valuation as at 31 December 2019
"A formal valuation of the Defined Benefit (DB) Plan was performed at 31 December 2019 by a professionally qualified Actuary using the Projected Unit Method. The market value of the DB Plan assets at the valuation date was £298 million.
The valuation of the DB Plan revealed a deficit of assets compared with the value of liabilities of £18 million (equivalent to a past service funding level of 94%). The Church and the other employers supporting the DB Plan are collectively responsible for funding this deficit.

Post–retirement mortality in accordance with 80% of the S3NFA and S3NMA tables, with allowance for future improvements in mortality rates from 2013 in line with the CMI 2019 core projections, with a long term annual rate of improvement of 1.75% for males and 1.5% for females, with the core smoothing parameter and with additional initial mortality improvement factor A=0.5%.
The next actuarial valuation of the DB Plan within the Scheme is due to take place not later than as at 31 December 2022.
Recovery Plan
In addition to the contributions to the DC Plan set out above, where a valuation of the DB Plan reveals a deficit the Trustee and the Council agree to a rate of deficiency contributions from churches and other employers involved in the DB Plan.
Under the current Recovery Plan dated 30 September 2020, deficiency contributions are payable until 30 June 2026. These contributions are broadly based on the employer's membership at 31 December 2014 and increase annually in line with increases to Minimum Pensionable Income as defined in the Rules. However, the Trustee and the Council agreed a 50% reduction for all deficiency contributions payable between 1 July 2020 and 31 December 2020.
Movement in Balance Sheet liability
Section 28.11A of FRS 102 requires agreed deficit recovery payments to be recognised as a liability. The movement in the provision is set out in the table below.
| Balance sheet liability at the start of the year Minus deficiency contributions paid Interest cost (recognised in SoFA) Remaining change to balance sheet liability* (recognised in SoFA) Balance sheet liability at the end of the year |
2021 2020 £ £ 33,380 36,245 (3,225) (3,158) 83 520 (11,280) (227) 18,958 33,380 |
