## **TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

The trustees present their report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024. 

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 2023 to 2024 Hope House Church has continued to strengthen all of its activities whilst also increasingly growing healthy connections. We have operated throughout the year in a way which ensures we have maintained these activities and services, whilst still keeping in line with our prime objectives. 

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 wider and more consistent opportunities for people to connect to our services and activities. 

Meeting in our second location continues to enable us to promote a closer relationship with like-minded organisations with whom we work in partnership and support. These services are in addition to those being held in our original building throughout the week. Our original 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 extra encouragement and better 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 who are responsible for the efficient and effective day to day management of the activities of HHC. A degree of restructuring of our leadership has taken place to ensure our continued success into the future. The revised leadership team is increasing taking a greater role of responsibility as we look to create a sustainable team for the future. The directors and other former senior team leaders still continue meeting, acting more as an executive oversight team. This will allow for the growth of the congregation and the increased activity that it brings. 

In a broader context HHC seeks to promote the Christian faith as a relevant and appropriate lifestyle. In order to facilitate this we provide and maintain buildings used for religious practice and education. The buildings and adjoining facilities are used for activities related to the primary object, such as 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 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 by those in sympathy with the objectives and values held by HHC and those associated with it.

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

## **TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

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

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 new building will be required in order to maximise the potential of its location, and the opportunities therein for those in attendance. Initial investigations have begun as to the best approach to this, on the understanding that any redevelopment will be carried out at a time that it is the most expedient and in the best interests of any existing activities, and that such redevelopment is in line with the furtherance 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 general 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, through parent / carer & 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 Hope House 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 three part time staff members. Additionally, the cafe also hosts volunteers including 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. An extra part time member of staff was appointed this year to ensure the efficient running and development of the café, as well as to provide staff sustainability. 

## **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 signpost 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 towards 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 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 our local community. 

## **Rainbow Counselling** 

HHC understand that in its caring and pastoral role there may be times when a more professional level of support is required. This is part of our safeguarding of, and consideration for, the wellbeing of those in our circle of care. 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. Although we have not had need to call upon their services this year it is good to know they are there if we need them. 

## **Latvian Community Church** 

The Latvian Church group are an established user of our original building and are an established and registered church group in their own right, serving their own community and meeting at various times throughout the week. 

## **Asylum Seekers and Refugee Association** 

This is a grant funded project, hosted by Hope House Church, and HHC support their sessions which seek to establish and integrate their user groups into the wider community.

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

## **TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

## **Multi Agency Partnership** 

The partnership is facilitated by Hope House Church and brings together a wide range of both third sector and statutory sector organisations, to offer support to the local community. Services include things like housing, finance and health care. There are over twenty organisations that meet to offer a drop in and advice service in our building. Together the partnership considers the wider wellbeing of the whole town 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. 

## **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 providing 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 needy 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 greater sense of individual responsibility regarding the global issues of equality and care, while promoting the Christian faith. Connections with Adopt a Child staff have been maintained over the year in order to assist the support and relationship between ACC and HHC. Members of HHC are also active volunteers 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. The primary aim of the Ward Alliance 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 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. They have completed the first year of the National Lottery Community funding and developed the project into new areas of activity and support. 

The project 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. “New parent” support sessions have been introduced and links have been formed with other third sector and statutory services. 

Through conversations with those attending the groups support has been offered and when appropriate signposting or referrals have been made to outside agencies and services. 

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

HHC is involved in acts of community service, encouraging the improvement of the environment and promoting social inclusion. Members of the church community have been actively involved in the provision of a number of community outreach and activity days.

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

## **TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

## **Wider Community Involvement and extended objectives (continued)** 

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 a number of events for young people providing opportunities to experience new activities, build their self-confidence, and creating a greater sense of inclusion and purpose. 

## **Storehouse & Field** 

This year the church decided to launch a project called Storehouse and Field. This is a ‘community pantry’ food club. The initiative allows members to purchase late dated and overstocked food at a significantly reduced cost. This helps relieve food poverty and acts as a step beyond foodbanks for some of its members. Members will also be helped with imple meal planning and given some instruction around the actual mechanics of making healthy meals from fresh ingredients. One of the other additional positives of the project is that food wastage and the subsequent need for landfill, is greatly reduced. Portions of the grant funding income of the church was used both to enable the redevelopment of part of our premises in which to run S&F, and also towards the preparation for the project opening. 

Storehouse & Field will employ two part time members of staff and utilise a cohort of community volunteers. Additional benefits of the initiative are therefore wider community inclusion, access to additional services, and the growth of a supporting community. 

A partnership and purchasing agreement has been made with the Fair Share Yorkshire organisation who will act as a key supplier. The initiative is also registered as part of the wider town’s food poverty support program. 

## **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 continue to allow people to give additional amounts to allow greater development of future activity and this is allowing us to operate securely as the work of HHC expands. 

Additional funding has been received in the form of ‘Welcome Space Funding’ and ‘Pride of Place’ funding. These have enabled the church to enhance and advance our current activities. Funding is only sought that complements our current work and service, rather than that which might be seen to drive the activities we adopt. 

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. 

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. 

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. 

Free Reserves at 31st March 2024 as represented by unrestricted net current assets were £11,658.

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

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

## **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. 

## **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 totalling £16,300 in the reporting period. 

11 



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

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

## **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.
