## **TRUSTEE’S ANNUAL REPORT** 

The  Trustees  present  their  report with the unaudited financial  statements  of  the charity for  the  year ended 31 March  2023. They have adopted the provisions of 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). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and Aims** 

The principal objective of the church is the advancement of Christian faith according to the principles of the Baptist denomination. In furtherance of this the Church may arrange public and other meetings of worship, praise, evangelism, teaching, study, encouragement and prayer. In adherence to its objectives, the Church may also advance education and carry out other charitable purposes in the United Kingdom and/or other parts of the world. 

## **Public Benefit** 

The trustees have referred to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Charity’s aims and objectives and in planning its future activities. In particular the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives of the Charity. 

## **Charitable Activities** 

In fulfilling the purpose the Church engaged in a range of Activities either on its own or with others that varies from time to time with Activities being initiated, expanded, or closed, as appropriate. 

The Leadership has reviewed the year so far to see where we are now as a church family and share future plans as we continue to seek GOD’s face for the way forward for our communities, our families, and our church. 

During the year, at the Women’s Fellowship meetings, held every first Saturday of the month, the women of HUCB discussed women’s issues and women whose stories are told in the Old and New Testament. The women ensured they had a fun time amongst them while learning a lot about the Bible’s women at the same time. The women were encouraged to overcome their cultural limitations or obstacles and to embrace and play their own part in the things of God. The women had their annual anniversary in July 2022 where they had the opportunity to give thanks and express gratitude to God for all He has done in their lives all through the year; the celebrations that followed was a joyous occasion. 

Similarly, the men also met monthly where they discussed issues concerning men and their role not only in the church but also in their individual homes. They had a wonderful anniversary celebration as well. 

We had weekly online meetings comprising of our Prayer meetings and Bible Studies; these continued throughout the year. Although there were small numbers logging in to our Bible study, we learned a lot as we studied God’s word. 

During office hours, people from our community dropped by for a chat and prayer and we ministered to several people who do not normally worship with us during our onsite meeting time mostly on Sundays. 

We had three funerals during the year to say, “goodbye”. For one of them although the Service of Songs was held in HUCB, the funeral was not conducted in HUCB.

## **Harringay United Church Baptist** 

We had five people welcomed into the membership, which was such a blessing to our church. 

From October, we introduced new programmes for our Sunday services.  We started with our “Prayer, Communion and Anointing” service which is held during the last Saturday of the month. This encouraged members to come together to pray and seek spiritual solutions to any challenges they may be going through.  Many have said of this programme to be awe inspiring and beneficial to them in their faith in God who is able to meet them at their various points of need. 

In November, we introduced another monthly programme entitled “why I am a Christian.”  This programme seeks to challenge members to reflect on why we are Christians, to share our experiences with others in order to encourage hearers on the reasons why we strongly believe and have faith in God.  This has been well received by church members.  Many are coming forward to share their experiences on why they are convinced of their faith.  We pray that this programme continues to build people up in their faith. 

We are happy that we are making connections to our local community.  In December 2022, the church was invited to participate in the local council’s “Carols in the Community” event in front of our local pub “Salisbury pub”.  This was part of the Council’s annual event of switching on the Christmas lights in Green Lanes.  This was well attended by the community.  Members of the church music team and church members turned up in good numbers and sang beautiful traditional festive carols.  It was a wonderful evening, and a lovely way to reach out to our community.  We were notified by Council representative afterwards that we will be required to do same again in December 2023. 

We are happy that our Local Community Safety Partnership (LCSP) continue to use our building facilities for their regular community meetings with invitation to the local council and Police on a regular basis to discuss how to improve safety of our community. 

## **Local Mission Activities** 

## **Highway of Holiness Homeless Project** 

This is one of the projects that give assistance to the homeless in our community that we have been giving ongoing support for the work they do. 

## **International Mission Activities** 

We support other Christian and Charitable causes both within and outside UK. The organisations to be supported are decided during our Annual General Meeting (AGM). 

## **Baptist Association and Union/ Wider Church Network** 

The Church continues to be part of London Baptist (formerly known as London Baptist Association) and the Baptist Union of Great Britain and we support them financially, prayerfully and in human resources by releasing our members to minister and serve the association and other churches that have no minister. 

We are also part of the Evangelical Alliance. 

## **Building Extension/Repairs** 

We did some electrical works and refurbishment work to some of our facilities, for example our baptistery. 

Our Estate agent, Brian Thomas, has continued to manage the 115 Allison Road property very well and the property is giving the Church good returns. 

The Church continues to allow Eagle Nursery Ltd to operate a nursery school on Church premises and people in the community are benefiting because of this and it also brings in income to the Church.

**Harringay United Church Baptist Investment Policy** 

We continue to follow up our investments guided by the policy that ensures that we do not put the Church’s money at risk and monitor that we do not invest un-ethically. 

A copy of this policy is available for viewing, should anyone be interested to have a read. 

## **Risk Management** 

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. These duties are taken seriously. 

Having regard to the scale and nature of the Church’s operations, there are systems of controls to ensure that the operations are effective and working appropriately: 

1. All volunteers are required to undergo a Disclosure and Barring Screening (DBS) checks.  This is to ensure protection of children and vulnerable members. 

2.   The Church has its own Health and Safety policy which is readily available to all the trustees and volunteers of the charity. 

3. The Church’s Child Protection Policy is made available to all volunteers working with children and is available to any interested party within the organisation.  All workers, voluntary and paid have had training and their DBS checks are up to date with some coming up for renewals soon. 

4. The Disability Discrimination Act Policy is available to all volunteers on how to relate to disabled members and interested party within the organisation. 

## **Volunteers** 

During the year, all team leaders and trustees except the pastor of the Church continued to give their services on a voluntary basis towards achieving the objectives of the Church.  The Church is grateful for the sacrificial contribution of time and effort from all volunteers. 

Training has also been provided for awareness of autism to the Sunday school teachers and the trustees, officers and other volunteers who are not elected officers of the Church. 

## **Investment performance** 

Our savings account with the London Baptist Property Board [LBPB] has continued to grow steadily. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The Charities Commission recommend that all Charities should maintain reserves to meet potential liabilities and to cover fluctuations in income.  In complying with this recommendation, the trustees have set up reserve funds as shown in the accounts. 

Other reserves of the organisation are unrestricted.  It is the policy of the charity to retain unrestricted funds at a level, which equates to approximately 3 months of its committed expenditure.  This provides sufficient funds to cover the organisation's regular overheads in its various branches, and to meet other committed ministry gifts.  The remainder of the reserves is expended on the objectives of the organisation.

**Harringay United Church Baptist Principal Funding Sources of the Ministry** 

The principal funding source remains the general offerings and donations of members to whom the trustees are very thankful for their generosity.  Many of these donors are on the gift aid scheme which enables the Church Treasurer to recover some tax rebate. 

The other source of income are the donations to the “future ministry funds” introduced after commencement of my ministry here specifically to enable the Church easily fund ongoing maintenance and remedial works that keeps Church premises and buildings in a good standard. 

We also receive income from renting out the Church owned flats and hall. 

## **Plans for developments for the year 2024** 

We want to continue the process of renovating our premises.  We have identified areas where remedial work is needed to continue to modernise and bring our property to modern standards.  To this extent we want to refurbish our church hall and make it available for hire by individuals and other organisations. 

We want to deepen our evangelism work by holding more seminars.  We will be inviting outside speakers and trainers to facilitate this. 

We want to introduce new programmes that will help the spiritual health of our congregation. 

We want to do all these in the power and strength of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. 

We continue to pray for God’s leading and guidance as we continue the work on the affairs of His people and His Church under my ministry at HUCB.  May His blessings rest on us all.

**Harringay United Church Baptist NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS** 

## **for the year ended 31 March 2023** 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Basis of preparation** 

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) - Charities SORP (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland and the Charities Act 2011. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value. 

## **Incoming resources** 

All incoming resources are included on the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. 

## **Resources expended** 

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. 

## **Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life:

Page 11 



**Harringay United Church Baptist NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS** 

## **Trade and other creditors** 

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting 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 normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

## **Pension Costs and Other Post-Retirement Benefits** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate. 

## **Investments** 

Investment income 

This includes bank and building society interest, dividend, gross rental from investment properties and any related tax credit reclaimable. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
