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

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022

Throughout 2021 and into 2022 the changing nature of the covid 19 pandemic and steady lifting of restrictions has had an ongoing impact upon Hope House Church (HHC). Throughout this period we have followed the appropriate legislation and maintained our services whilst still keeping in line with our prime objectives. We continue with a mixture of in person and online activities which allows people to maintain their involvement with HHC at the level they are comfortable with. Much consideration has been given to the wellbeing and care of those impacted by the pandemic.

The prime objective of HHC is to advance the Christian faith and to this end the charity has, during this period, been conducting regular meetings for public worship, fellowship, and teaching. In order to offer these services to the widest possible group of participants, HHC continues meeting regularly at both its locations in the town centre. These buildings provide increased ease of accessibility and therefore increase our inclusivity and also our capacity to offer a wider and more consistent opportunity for people to connect to our services and activities.

Meeting in the second location continues 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 existing building throughout the week. Our existing building continues to be partly used by a local Latvian speaking church with whom 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 in addition, we 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 the development of capable leaders. This group is taking an increasing role of responsibility as we look to create a sustainable team for the future.

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 buildings used for religious practice and education. The buildings and adjoining facilities are 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 service 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 and also for those in sympathy with those objectives and values held by HHC and those associated with it.

As anticipated, the director’s conclusion that ownership of a second building would secure a permanent opportunity for improved access, allowing expansion, and continuity in a better location to our original property, (while still allowing expansion of our existing building’s use), have proved to be correct. However, the directors also believe that redevelopment of sections of the building will be required in order to maximise the potential of the location and the opportunities for those in attendance. Initial investigations have begun as to the best approach to this and will be carried out at a time that it is the most expedient in the best interests of the activities we carry out and for the enhancement of our charitable objectives.

Under the ownership and stewardship of HHC, the buildings are made available to a variety of groups within the community so providing a meeting place for those who are isolated and marginalised and who may be in need of care, encouragement, support or friendship or an improvement in their health and well-being. This care is made available by HHC through the provision of youth work for children aged 11-18, a cafe open to the public, parent / carer and toddler groups, and a variety of similar activities including the provision of space, and hosting of various local groups from the voluntary and statutory services.

The HHC café continues to thrive and offer a place of friendship and connection for the many people accessing its services. 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. Additionally, the cafe has allowed the church to be actively developing other activities that will support and further our aims.

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. Connection with Adopt a Child staff have been maintained over the year in order to assist the support and relationship held with HHC. Members of HHC are now active volunteer members of both Adopt a Child and Global Care

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022

Wider Community Involvement and extended objectives

Conscious of the impact of the pandemic restrictions and the need to safely re-establish community inclusion and engagement HHC is involved in acts of community service, encouraging the improvement of the environment and promotion of social inclusion. Members of the church community have been actively involved in the provision of a number of community outreach and activity days that have supported people through the transition to a more normal pattern of life.

The church has also supported other community activities hosted by like-minded and complimentary organisations.

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.

Over the year the church ran events for young people providing opportunities to experience new activities, build their selfconfidence, and creating a greater sense of inclusion and purpose.

To ensure clear safeguarding and a greater awareness and care HHC have accessed the safeguarding training offered by the Local authority. This has allowed a greater level of networking and improved care. Preparation to expand the safeguarding team have begun to ensure the best care of vulnerable people into the future.

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 to develop and this is allowing us to operate securely as the work of HHC expands.

HHC objects, activities and partnerships are about promoting the Christian faith and encouraging a greater sense of citizenship and responsibility. Congregation members are able to develop their individual ability 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.

A finance team continues to be developed to allow 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 in person presence and HHC activities have continued to return to a more historically normal basis through this period. Many of the activities and initiatives begun as a result of the pandemic are being maintained allowing for a broader inclusion and community service.

HHC continues to meet its objectives and its future is secure. The charity expects to generate sufficient income and to hold reserves that enables it to operate for a period of at least the next 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;

make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; b) prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the c) 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.

Approved by the Directors on the 19th December 2022
