## **TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Objectives and Activities** 

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the charity commission relating to public benefit and in particular to its supplementary public benefit guidance. 

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. 

## **Achievements and Performance** 

Throughout the period 2022 to 2023 Hope House Church has continued to strengthen and re-establish all its activities and to continue growing its connections following the lifting of pandemic restrictions. We have endeavoured to operate within the changing situation in a way that ensures we maintain our services whilst still keeping in line with our prime objectives. 

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 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 build in sustainability 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.

## **HOPE HOUSE CHURCH BARNSLEY (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)** 

## **TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **Achievements and Performance (continued)** 

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. To increase the service of the café to the community an additional part time member of staff has been appointed which will help to ensure the efficient running and development of the cafe. 

## **Collaborations, partnerships, and activities promoting a wider public benefit** 

## **Barnsley Safe Places** 

Hope House has operated as a Safe Place for a number of years. This allows us to offer care and support for any member for the community suffering with mental health issues or isolation and for those experiencing domestic violence. Having established links with various organisations we are able to sign post people to the relevant professional help they may require. 

## **Groundlevel Network.** 

The Groundlevel Network exists as a family of churches that empower, support and care for the local church, its leaders and its ministries. Involvement in national initiatives and support in good governance is accessed through this connection. Additionally, this partnership allows an involvement in activities that enhance our local provision and connection in our town’s community and with civic life. 

## **Trussell Trust Food Bank** 

HHC acts as a centre for the operation of a Trussell Trust Food Bank. A number of volunteers are fully engaged with the foodbank and this has facilitated a greater level of involvement with the local community. 

## **Rainbow Counselling** 

HHC understand that in it’s caring and pastoral role there may be times when a professional level of support is required. This is part of our safeguarding and consideration for the wellbeing of those we care for. Consequently, we have an informal partnership with Rainbow Counselling Services. Established over the past 20 years Rainbow Counselling have a reputation for high quality counselling, coaching, and personal development. Every member of their team is qualified and/or accredited. They have experience in working with people who want change in their lives or who are going through issues such as, but not limited to: depression, stress, anxiety, self-image, relationships, loss, bereavement, addictions and abuse. 

## **Latvian Community Church** 

The Latvian Church are an established and registered church group that are serving their own local community, who meet throughout the week on a number of different days. 

## **Asylum Seekers and Refugee Association** 

A funded project hosted by Hope House Church and supporting sessions that establish and integrate the user groups into the wider community. 

## **Barnsley Table Tennis Club** 

Offering services to a wide variety of members and also offering public sessions the club has entered into a partnership with HHC hosting their work in a newly refurbished sports hall and other adjoining rooms. The values and objectives of the club compliment those of HHC and enhance our wider community connections.

## **TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **Street Pastors** 

Street Pastors is made up of members of a variety of local churches who are actively seeking to serve the town by reaching out to those who find themselves in need of help while involved in the town’s night-time entertainment provision. This work is carried out in partnership with the local police force and town council and is considered to be an effective Christian witness. Attendees of HHC are from time to time involved in this service. 

## **Over 50s Support Group** 

A community friendship and activity group primarily aimed at the older and isolated members of the community hosted and supported by HHC. 

## **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 a person in need (most often, but not always, a child) 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. 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. 

## **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. Their 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. We feel this sits very well with furthering our charitable objectives. 

## **Barnsley Central Multi-agency Action Group** 

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

## **Barnsley Homeless Alliance (Safer Communities Directorate BMBC)** 

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

## **Hope Connects** 

Hope Connects has seen considerable change in this period. In December of 2022 funding from the local authority came to an end. The initial project closed at this time with the end of the funding period. Both part time members of staff were released from their employment as planned. 

New funding from the National Lottery Community Fund for three years was secured from January 2023. A new and amended project was started in January of 2023. New employed roles were created and the posts filled after appropriate advertising and interviews. 

The project now runs weekly groups for those caring for babies. In addition, carer and toddler groups offering support and friendship aimed at reducing isolation and shared support for those with young families take place each week. The project continues to grow and offer its services to the community.

## **HOPE HOUSE CHURCH BARNSLEY (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)** 

## **TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **Wider Community Involvement and extended objectives** 

HHC is involved in other 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. 

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. We are currently in the process of expanding the safeguarding team so we can continue to ensure the best care of vulnerable people into the future. 

## **Financial Review** 

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 is allowing greater accountability and the effective training and preparation of new personnel serving the aims and objectives of the church. 

At the end of this reporting period the directors are confident that the charity is in a stable financial position going forward, with a sufficient income to meet the charity’s obligations and objectives. Although this has been a difficult year, still living somewhat in the shadow of Cosid-19, we remain positive that the charity is financially secure. The financial position remains satisfactory, nevertheless we do recognise a significant deficit in income versus expenditure during this year and the trustees are reviewing the 2023-2024 budget closely going forward with a view towards reversing this situation. 

The directors have reviewed the charity’s needs for reserves in line with the guidance issued by the Charity Commission. The principal source of unrestricted income is from free will offerings which are received on a weekly or monthly basis and there are plans in place to increase this revenue as well as the income from other users of the buildings. The directors closely monitor income and expenditure and endeavour to ensure the free reserves are at a satisfactory level. They recognise the need to increase the reserves in future years.

## **HOPE HOUSE CHURCH BARNSLEY (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **1. Accounting policies** 

## **a)  Basis of preparation** 

The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial  statements are as follows: 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

Hope House Church Barnsley meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy. 

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. 

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 £1. There may be minor discrepancies as pence are not being shown. 

## **b) Changes to accounting estimates** 

There have been no changes to accounting estimates in the reporting period. 

## **c) Material prior period errors and changes to previous accounts** 

No material prior period errors have been identified in this accounting period. 

A correction has been made to the balance sheet and statement of financial activities of the previous accounts, because it was identified that the figures stated were incorrect and inconsistent. Income was understated by £242, expenditure was understated by £673 and therefore the overall net movement in funds was understated by £398. The figures have been restated to reflect what is shown in the underlying accounting records, which the Trustees confirm are accurate. Any inconsistencies in the previous year notes to the accounts, where identified, have also been corrected and restated. 

## **d) Preparation of accounts on a going concern basis** 

Preparation of the accounts is on a going concern basis. The Trustees are of the view that the level of reserves will support the charity going forward. 

## **e) Income** 

Income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when: 

- the charity becomes entitled to the income; 

- it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and 

- the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. 

## **f) Interest receivable** 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receipt is probable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank. 

## **g) Grants and Donations** 

Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS 102 SORP). 

## **h) Tax Reclaims on Donations and Gifts** 

Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. 

## **i) Government Grants** 

The charity has received government grants in the reporting period. 

11 



## **HOPE HOUSE CHURCH BARNSLEY (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **j)  Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes. 

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements. 

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity. 

## **k) Expenditure** 

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.  Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure. 

## **l) Offsetting**
