INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS

Report to the trustees/ members of Hope House Church, Barnsley on the accounts for the year ended 31st March 2021 set out on pages 8 to 17.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The Charity's trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The trustees are satisfied that the audit requirement of Section 144(1) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply, and that there is no requirement in the governing document or constitution of the Charity for the conducting of an audit. As a consequence, the trustees have elected that the financial statements be subject to independent examination.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit, and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:-

a) examine the accounts under section 145 of the Act;

b) to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act; and;

c) to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner's statement

I conducted my examination in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales in relation to the conducting of an independent examination, referred to above. An independent examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and of the accounting systems employed by the Charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements , and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning such matters. The purpose of the examination is to establish as far as possible that there have been no breaches of the Charities legislation and that the financial statements comply with the SORP, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit , and information supplied by the trustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements, and in particular, I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity, and my report is limited to the matters set out in the statement below.

I planned and performed my examination so as to satisfy myself that the objectives of the independent examination are achieved and before finalising the report I obtain written assurances from the trustees of all material matters.

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 requirements:

· to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and

· to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities.

have not been met; or

  1. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

HOPE HOUSE CHURCH, BARNSLEY (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021

The Pandemic and associated restrictions of 2020-2021 have had a significant impact on Hope House Church. Many of our activities had to be postponed or substantially altered allowing us to continue to serve our prime objectives.

Following the declaration of COVID-19 as a global pandemic and in line with the UK government lockdown guidelines HHC’s primary response was a focus on care for our community and the shift of our content to an online delivery as physical meetings were paused throughout much of 2021. Operationally HHC decided to enhance the online activities we carried out with an appropriate return to in person activities in line with the guidelines and recommendations for churches and community groups.

Work has been carried out to ensure our premises and our policies in regard to their use are COVID-19 secure. HHC continued to allow home-working for our staff members where possible during the phased returns. We utilised the UK Government's Job Retention Scheme and furloughed a proportion of staff members where appropriate, and also received funds from BMBC to support our financial resilience. HHC did not have a need to use its reserves.

Strategically it was decided that a ‘hybrid model’ of activities for the charity was the most flexible response to the uncertain changes to covid guidelines. Consequently our online provision continued, thus meeting our objectives with a return to a variety of in person gatherings in COVID-19 secure premises once appropriate.

The prime objective of Hope House Church (HHC) is to advance the Christian faith and the company has continued to fulfil this objective during this pandemic period. We continued to offer regular meetings for public worship, fellowship, and teaching, both in person and online, in accordance with guidelines. In order to offer these services to the widest possible group of participants our activities continued at both of our locations in the town center. These buildings provided us with an increased ease of accessibility which therefore increased our inclusivity, and our capacity to offer wider and more consistent opportunities for people to connect to our services and activities.

Meeting in the second location continued to enable us to promote a closer relationship with like-minded organisations, with whom we seek to work in partnership and support. These primary services are in addition to those being held in our original building throughout the week.

Our original building is now also partly used by a local Latvian speaking church who we are actively partnering with and supporting as an extension of our own activities and objectives. Sunday morning services are the principal expression of our worship, and we also have small home groups to provide additional encouragement and pastoral care. Regular prayer meetings are held to encourage the life and work of the church along with regular meetings of an appointed leadership team responsible for the efficient and effective day to day management of the activities of HHC. To assist the leadership and to ensure our future continuity an additional Development and Strategy Team meets and continues to act as a training opportunity to ensure the good future management and development of capable leaders.

In a broader context HHC seeks to promote the Christian faith as a relevant and appropriate lifestyle. In order to facilitate this we seek to provide and maintain our buildings to be used for religious practice and education. The buildings and adjoining facilities are, in addition, used for related activities to the primary object: the conducting of religious services and acts of worship, dedication of children, the celebration of marriages and funerals and the religious instruction of children, young people and adults. The services and activities held within are open to all members of the public who may wish to avail themselves of the opportunities, in order that the spiritual wellbeing of those individuals might be promoted and cared for. In addition, the building is used for conferences and training in support of our activities and objectives or for those in sympathy with those objectives and values held by HHC and those associated with it.

Throughout the year HHC acted as a centre for the operation of a Trussell Trust Food Bank, increasing our activity from one to two days a week, due to the increased need for the service. A number of volunteers are fully engaged with the foodbank, and this has facilitated a greater level of involvement with the local community. Additionally, members of the church are actively developing other activities that will support and further our aims.

During the year the HHC Café continued to thrive and offer a place of friendship and connection for many people accessing its services when appropriate under covid guidelines. The café is in the process of reopening in a staged return to pre-Covid working hours. The cafe continues to provide employment to two part time staff members. Additionally, the cafe also hosts volunteers included some provided through the local social services department. Further development of the cafe is under consideration for the future.

HOPE HOUSE CHURCH, BARNSLEY (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021

Collaborations, Partnerships and activities promoting a wider public benefit

Barnsley Safe Places

Hope House Church opened its original building as a registered Safe Place throughout the pandemic period. This allowed us to offer care and support for any member of the community suffering with mental health issue and isolation and for those experiencing domestic violence. All activities were in accordance with covid guidelines and in partnership with the local authority.

Hope Connects Project

Hope Connects is a project that supports families with young children and aims to reduce isolation in adults. The project is run by HHC and funded by Barnsley Central Council from whom it receives £3,500 each quarter. This money is used to employ two part-time staff members and to facilitate the activities and groups which they run to support these families. The designated fund for the Hope Connects project are still restricted and kept separate from the current account so as to ensure the projects that have been financially committed to can be funded. During the year, when meeting in person was not allowed, the workers reached out online to many needy families.

Hope Connects has supported over 30 families transitioning out of the pandemic. The vast majority of whom are new to us as a project. The Cheeky Monkeys toddler group and little Chimps baby group have created a safe space for adults to reconnect with others, working through anxieties around socialising and the transmission of covid. The groups have also helped babies and young children deal with separation anxiety after extended periods of time being at home with their parents and, learn or relearn vital communication and social skills that have been impacted by the lockdowns.

Latvian Community Church

The Latvian group that had been occasional users of our building are now an established and registered church group that are serving their own community and meet, when allowed, throughout the week.

Barnsley Table Tennis Club

By offering services to a wide variety of members and offering public sessions the club has entered into a partnership with HHC, hosting their activities in redeveloped rooms. These club helps create a sense of inclusion and wellbeing and is in harmony with HHC values and objectives.

Adopt a Child & Global Care

Adopt a Child and Global Care are programmes working to feed, educate and provide medical care for children throughout the majority world. People actively support children through friendship and finance. Previously visits to Guatemala, Albania and Uganda have been made by church members, supporters, and friends. These visits enrich the life of the individuals involved and develop a great sense of an individual responsibility regarding the global issues of equality and care while promoting the Christian faith. Members of HHC are now active volunteer members of Global Care.

Trussell Trust Foodbank

HHC operates as a centre for the distribution of food and the signposting of services through the local foodbank system. Members of HHC volunteer at all levels of the foodbank partnership from delivery of food and support of individuals, through to the management team of the local partnerships. As mentioned earlier, we increased our Foodbank activities during lockdown to two days from one and also increased the number of clients we agreed to see.

Barnsley Homeless Alliance (Safer Communities Directorate BMBC)

The church is an active member of this partnership which is an initiative that works towards the ending of homelessness and the provision of safer communities and activities within the town.

Barnsley Central Ward Alliance

The HHC senior minister is a member of the local town council ward alliance. This body meets monthly to discuss the support and development of the local community and to consider applications for grant funding. The primary aim is to allow the local community to be represented directly to the local ward councillors and to work in partnership with them to enhance the life and wellbeing of the locality.

Barnsley Central Multi-agency Action Group

HHC has become an active member of the multi-agency group that manages the wellbeing and security of the town centre’s area. The group is made up of both statutory and voluntary groups who network together in orders to manage the wellbeing of the town

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021

Wider Community Involvement and extended objectives

HHC is involved in acts of community service encouraging the improvement of the environment and promotion of social inclusion. Church members have also supported other community activities hosted by like-minded and complimentary organisations (Crisis, Barnsley Wind Band and others)

Involvement with the Local Authority at various levels has allowed a greater connection with Barnsley’s civic leaders and enhanced the delivery of the community activities. Additionally, involvement with the Homelessness Alliance has helped to create connections with other voluntary and statutory groups within the district. To ensure clear safeguarding and a greater awareness and a care HHC have accessed the safeguarding training offered by the Local authority. This has allowed a greater level of networking and improved care.

Finances

Finances to continue our work have been raised by the free will giving of the congregation, with a significant number of people contributing on a regular basis by means of the Gift Aid system. Consequently, the church can continue to spread the good news of the Gospel and bring hope to the streets of our town. Amendments that were made to our giving funds to allow people to give additional amounts, to allow greater development of future activity, have continued and this is allowing us to continue to operate securely as the work of HHC expands

HHC objects, activities and partnerships are promoting the Christian faith and encouraging a greater sense of citizenship and responsibility. Congregation members are able to develop their individual abilities, to function in their faith productively in the context of a wider society, and thereby enhance the church's public benefit through their ongoing life's contribution and service to the local and global community where the church is actively involved. Our finance team has been helpful in this period allowing for greater accountability and the effective training and preparation of new personnel serving the aims and objectives of the church.

Covid 19 Impacts

User groups that HHC host have started to return to us in person and others are intending to when practical and appropriate.

HHC leadership remains confident that the strategic development of the organisation have been well maintained and the ability to continue meeting our objectives is secure.

The future aims of the charity remain unchanged despite the current world turmoil, and despite the impact of Covid-19 the charity expects to generate income and have reserves that enables it to operate for at least a period of twelve months.

Statement of Directors' Responsibilities

The Charities Act and the Companies Act require the Board of Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Board is required to :-

a) select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; b) make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; c) prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business;

d) state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.

The Directors are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and comply with regulations made under the Charities Act. 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.

The Directors are also responsible for the contents of the Directors' report, and the responsibility of the independent examiner in relation to the Directors' report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that on the face of the report there are no inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.

These accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.

I approve the attached statement of financial activities and balance sheet for the year ended 31st March 2021 and confirm that I have made available all information necessary for its preparation.
