Section C Objectives and activities
Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document
The principal purpose of the church is the advancement of the Christian faith according to the principles of the Baptist denomination. The church may also advance education and carry out other charitable purposes in the United Kingdom and/or other parts of the world.
In planning activities to meet its objectives, the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit, and in particular the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.
The provision of regular services of public Christian worship is central to the church’s fulfilment of its primary purpose above. Regular in-person services resumed in October 2021 following the pandemic. These have been held on Sundays at 9.15am and 11am, and advertised on the church website www.prbc.org.uk. They have also been accessible online via a livestream. A programme for all ages of children and young people Summary of the main is included in the morning services. activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to Occasional courses are run to enable anyone to explore what it means to these objects (include within be a Christian, and these are publicised during Sunday worship. this section the statutory declaration that trustees have The church also runs a number of small groups for development of faith had regard to the guidance and discipleship.

A club for children from the neighbourhood has run during the week. During 2021, these events did not take place. The church operates a safeguarding policy and ensures that all people working with children are appropriately vetted. A weekly coffee morning is run on church premises for older local residents and incorporates a monthly ‘Knit and Natter’ group. These resumed in autumn 2021 after stopping during the pandemic.

Section D Achievements and erformance p
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
The year began with the church still operating in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. Our Sunday morning worship services remained online until we resumed in-person services in early October, this following a relaxation in restrictions due to the pandemic and the completion of our building project.
On return to the building, we instigated a new pattern of two morning services at 9.15am and 11am, both accessible online via a livestream, and with content available to watch back later. The motivation for two services was threefold: to create room for growth, to give opportunity for those serving in one meeting to receive teaching at the other one, and to allow for greater social distancing for those appreciating it. We have seen the majority of previous attendees return to the congregation, along with a good number of newcomers, and a noticeable increase in the cultural and ethnic diversity of the congregation. In early 2021 we concluded the teaching series on Acts. This was followed by a topical series on the ‘Ruthless Elimination of Hurry’. Later we heard from the Old Testament books of Ezra and Nehemiah on the re-building of Jerusalem, followed by a trip through the New Testament letter of James. Once back to in-person services we focused on that fresh start with a series entitled ‘I’m In’. This led in to our pre-Christmas series.
For children and youth , the usual range of groups on Sunday morning (crèche, Primary Sunday School and Junior Church, Encounter for teenagers) remained suspended for the pandemic in the first part of the year. The Primary Sunday School team continued producing ‘all-age’ videos while we met online. Since returning to the building, the various groups have resumed their activity and teaching programmes during the 11am service or, in the case of the teenagers, during the 9.15am service. Within the small group programme , a variety of groups continued to meet online and then in-person. We ran an online Alpha Course early in the year to help people explore the Christian faith. The Care Network team leader has stimulated practical pastoral care for those in various situations of need, including the effects of isolation due to the pandemic. The membership of the church stood at 110 at the end of 2021. The redevelopment of our buildings was a major step forward in 2021. The scheme, which cost £333k, has brought us a new front entrance,

improved access to several refurbished meeting rooms and offices, and an upgraded car park with surrounding landscaped areas. The new facilities are much appreciated.
Section E Financial review
Brief statement of the
charity’s policy on reserves
The trustees aim is to maintain a working balance sufficient to be able to cover our legal financial commitments for a period of 6 months. This would include our Ministers salary, NI contributions and pension contributions plus covering utility bills for the Manse and the Church and to maintain adequate buildings insurance cover. The financial status at the end of 2021, going into 2022, was to have unrestricted funds available in the General Fund of at least £34,000.
At the end of 2021 the balance of all funds was £49,051, of which £35,693 was present in the unrestricted General Fund.
Details of any funds materially None in deficit

REPORT & FINDINGS OF EXAMINER TO THE TRUSTEES and DEACONS OF PINHOE ROAD BAPTIST CHURCH EXETER Of the Accounts for the year ending 31[st] December 2021
23rd March 2022
I have carried out the examination of the accounts for the Church and make the following observations.
FORMAT of ACCOUNTS
The Management accounts which I have produced are in the form of Receipt and Payments format, which provides an overview to the Trustees, Deacons and Church as to the Income and Expenditure in 2021
PANDEMIC AFFECTING CHARITIES
There is no doubt that in 2021 some Churches and Charities suffered financially as a result of the pandemic particularly as Churches were forced to close and they switched to on-line streaming services. This also had a major effect on the amount of revenue received from outside organizations as rent for using the premises.
UPGRADING of the CHURCH PREMISES.
For many years the Church has been planning a major upgrade of the premises to make it more user friendly and in keeping with its current needs.
At the start of the year there was a balance of £137K in a redevelopment building fund which had been accumulating as a result of generous donations and fund raising over a period of time. With the Church premises closed for many months due to the pandemic it proved an ideal time to proceed with the major work which cost £332K
The balance was funded by using approx.£100K from the General Fund which on the 1[st] January had a balance of £131K The remainder was funded by a further £63K in donations and by using some money from the surplus in General Giving because the Church only had one Minister in situ for 2021
GIFT AID
Since April 2016 the amount which can qualify for Small Cash Donations increased from £5000 to £8000 which means that the amount that Churches can claim has similarly increased from £1250.00 to £2000.00 pa and I am assured that the Church continues to make best use of this entitlement
- However only cash payments from individuals who are unable to complete a gift aided declaration are eligible for this entitlement and whilst it is encouraging that some contributors will have switched their contributions direct to the Bank account or by using cheques during the last year, neither of these methods qualify despite representations from charities to the HMRC
REGULAR INCOME
It is pleasing to report that at Pinhoe Road BC that there are many people who give their offertory directly through bank standing Order and I would recommend that even more people are
encouraged to give by this method which provides a constant and regular stream of income (See new ways of giving)
BANKING
In 2021 the Church has continued to bank with CAF Bank, but with the reduction in the total funds and the charges imposed on every account, it has been decided to close the CAF Gold A/C with effect from 2022 which is attracting very little interest.
Apart from a small amount left on deposit with the BUC ie.£1805.90, the investment accounts at Scottish Widows and Shawbrook accounts were closed.in order to resource for the building works
GENERAL OVERVIEW.
In accounting terms the Church made a loss of £224909 which is something of an artificial figure bearing in mind the amount spent on the building renovations.
RESTRICTED FUNDS
| RESTRICTED FUNDS | RESTRICTED FUNDS |
|---|---|
| I am pleased to note that my recommendation last year to close most of the restricted funds | |
| which had very small balances in them was implemented which has resulted in just 3 remaining | |
| which are | |
| Building Fund/Fabric | 11074.88 |
| Fellowship Fund |
2182.58 |
| Alpha | 100.85 |
| TOTAL | 13358.31 |
DESIGNATED FUNDS
There are now no designated funds remembering that where a Church chooses to designate certain monies or transfer a certain amount of money into a particular fund for budgetary purposes, this is still classified as unrestricted money as it can equally chose to un-designate any such funds from time to time.
LIABILITIES
The only liability outstanding is the Baptist Ministers Pension Fund which has now reduced to £48100 (£71700) Although there is no requirement to settle the amount which is now expected to decrease at a much slower pace and depends on market fluctuations it is still hopefully be cleared by 2028.
The majority of Baptist Ministers are members of the Baptist Pension Scheme which until a few years ago operated a Defined Benefits Scheme for their retirement and their widows. In 2012 the deficit on the fund had increased to such a level that the Trustees took the decision to close that fund and change over to a Defined Contributions scheme for existing and new employees.
GIVING TO OTHER CAUSES
it is pleasing to report that the Church continues to be very generous in its support for other Missions including the Baptist denominations Home Mission Fund, and BMS World Vision in addition to some other National and local based charities.
In addition contributions from individuals and supporters for other causes £2595 (£2635) The additional monies do not technically form part of the SOFA but I think it is important as well as good practice to still show these
RECONCILIATION of ACCOUNTS
I have had no difficulty reconciling the income and expenditure to the balances, and can affirm that the computer system agrees to that shown on the bank statements
PAYROLL
The Payroll of the Minister is handled in-house
FINANCIAL RESERVES POLICY
With the building work completed the General Fund has now been reduced to £35K and so the Church needs to ensure that it agrees an adequate Reserves Policy in place by which it should try not go below
This is normally 6 months of the average expenditure of fixed costs and also the legal responsibilities relating to paid staff such as the Minister
CHURCHES, CHARITIES and INCORPORATION
More and more Churches have started the process of changing to CIO status and for the sake of completeness I once again reproduce that section of my report
A CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organization) is a new form of legal structure that is now available to charities that want to incorporate and Baptist Together have produced two Guideline Leaflets C11 and C12 for Churches who may be considering this option,
There are a number of advantages of adopting this status (eg. particularly protecting the Charity Trustees from Potential Personal Liability) but equally some disadvantages, as well as tricky areas such as Lease Backs. Endowments, Loans/Mortgages
I understand that the Church has started the process of applying for CIIO status but with the Pandemic has caused some delays in getting all the necessary paperwork and approvals ready so that they can be submitted.
It is invariable that this is almost certainly going to take some time so In order to avoid any additional costs such as having to prepare 2 sets of Annual Accounts, it is recommended that the new structure is put in place but not implemented until the close of the accounting year with the new Church charity operating from the first day of the subsequent year.
NEW WAYS of GIVING
Last year in my report I mentioned the New Ways of giving which are now being offered to Charities and Churches to keep pace with the changing life style of donors particularly in the younger generation which tend to use their mobile phones and IPADS to do most of their banking.
In this context our Software suppliers have started to market MY GIVING APPS and CONTATCLESS donation terminals and although this may be some way off for many our Churches, I have no doubt that many of our larger congregations may well be considering introducing something similar in the next few years
SUMMARY
The Management accounts which are attached are once again in the form of Receipt and Payments format, which provides the overview to the Trustees, Deacons and Church as to the Income and Expenditure in 2020 together with the closing balances, and I reproduced below the relevant section from the Charity Commission website.
Independent examination at a glance To maintain public confidence in the work of charities, charity law requires most charities to have an external scrutiny of their accounts. Provided a charity is not required by law or its governing document to have an audit then trustees may choose a simpler and less expensive form of external scrutiny called an independent examination. For financial years ending on or after 31 March 2015, trustees may opt for an independent examination instead of an audit provided their charity’s gross income is not more than £1m, or where gross income exceeds £250,000, its gross assets are not more than £3.26 million. An independent examination is a simpler form of scrutiny than an audit but it still provides trustees, funders, beneficiaries, stakeholders and the public with an assurance that the accounts of the charity have been reviewed by an independent person. All charities with an income of more than £25,000 that opt not to have an audit must have to
have an examination. Whether acting as a volunteer or being paid a fee for their work, the role of the independent examiner is important and they must follow certain steps in carrying out the examination and make a report to the trustees setting out particular matters once they have finished their examination. There is a process to be followed and separate guidance - Independent examination of charity accounts: examiners (CC32) - is available which takes the examiner through the Directions which set the procedures that the examiner must follow, explains their reporting duties and provides the examiner with practical advice at every stage. Whilst in most cases the examiner will be reviewing receipts and payments accounts and so will not need to be a qualified accountant to carry out a proper independent examination, the examiner still needs a certain level of ability and knowledge to undertake a competent examination and to set out their report in the way that is required by the 2008 Regulations. Where gross income is more than £250,000 charity law requires the examiner to be a member of a body listed in the Charities Act.
In the event of a Church exceeding this figure (eg. when going through a major building project there is an option available where the Charity Commission can grant exemption for 1 or 2 years (although in 2021 it is only the expenditure which exceeds the £250,000 threshold. However if the income was to exceed £250,000 as a regular occurrence I would need to get the accounts signed off by someone who has the suitable qualification.
Once the figures are adopted, they will need to be filed on the Charity Commission together with the reports as in previous years.
I am grateful for Chris Gardner for making my task that much easier and it is good to report that the finances of the Church are in good shape, and one hopes that the decisions taken with regard to the upgrading of the premises will be seen to be of enormous benefit to all those who use the premises.
Every blessing on your fellowship as we seek to return to something close to normality

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
Summary
Total income was £190k (135k 2020); total spend including Building Redevelopment was £415k (147k 2020) which utilised £225k of reserves, ending the year with £49k in reserves.
Income (Receipts)
Giving to the general fund was £122k (£124k in 2020), which despite the impact of Covid 19 pandemic almost equalled the previous year.
Giving to the MTP exceeded £63k, which indicates the generosity of members and their commitment to improving the premises for community engagement, ministry and mission.
Gift aid donations
Gift aid donations (£75k) were broadly in line with 2020 (£76k). Tax recovered was £15k (£21k in 2020), due to only one claim being made in the financial year.
Expenditure (Payments)
The church building was closed for the majority of the year which resulted in greatly reduced expenditure on heating, cleaning and church life activities. With no SWYM worker and one minister, the underspend on the general fund was £38k.
Ministry Transformation Project (MTP)

Restricted and designated funds The majority of expenditure goes through the General Fund and department heads have expenditure budgets covering their activities. Church members are encouraged to give to the General Fund rather than donations for ‘restricted’ purposes.

REPORT & FINDINGS OF EXAMINER TO THE TRUSTEES and DEACONS OF PINHOE ROAD BAPTIST CHURCH EXETER Of the Accounts for the year ending 31[st] December 2021
23rd March 2022
I have carried out the examination of the accounts for the Church and make the following observations.
FORMAT of ACCOUNTS
The Management accounts which I have produced are in the form of Receipt and Payments format, which provides an overview to the Trustees, Deacons and Church as to the Income and Expenditure in 2021
PANDEMIC AFFECTING CHARITIES
There is no doubt that in 2021 some Churches and Charities suffered financially as a result of the pandemic particularly as Churches were forced to close and they switched to on-line streaming services. This also had a major effect on the amount of revenue received from outside organizations as rent for using the premises.
UPGRADING of the CHURCH PREMISES.
For many years the Church has been planning a major upgrade of the premises to make it more user friendly and in keeping with its current needs.
At the start of the year there was a balance of £137K in a redevelopment building fund which had been accumulating as a result of generous donations and fund raising over a period of time. With the Church premises closed for many months due to the pandemic it proved an ideal time to proceed with the major work which cost £332K
The balance was funded by using approx.£100K from the General Fund which on the 1[st] January had a balance of £131K The remainder was funded by a further £63K in donations and by using some money from the surplus in General Giving because the Church only had one Minister in situ for 2021
GIFT AID
Since April 2016 the amount which can qualify for Small Cash Donations increased from £5000 to £8000 which means that the amount that Churches can claim has similarly increased from £1250.00 to £2000.00 pa and I am assured that the Church continues to make best use of this entitlement
- However only cash payments from individuals who are unable to complete a gift aided declaration are eligible for this entitlement and whilst it is encouraging that some contributors will have switched their contributions direct to the Bank account or by using cheques during the last year, neither of these methods qualify despite representations from charities to the HMRC
REGULAR INCOME
It is pleasing to report that at Pinhoe Road BC that there are many people who give their offertory directly through bank standing Order and I would recommend that even more people are
encouraged to give by this method which provides a constant and regular stream of income (See new ways of giving)
BANKING
In 2021 the Church has continued to bank with CAF Bank, but with the reduction in the total funds and the charges imposed on every account, it has been decided to close the CAF Gold A/C with effect from 2022 which is attracting very little interest.
Apart from a small amount left on deposit with the BUC ie.£1805.90, the investment accounts at Scottish Widows and Shawbrook accounts were closed.in order to resource for the building works
GENERAL OVERVIEW.
In accounting terms the Church made a loss of £224909 which is something of an artificial figure bearing in mind the amount spent on the building renovations.
RESTRICTED FUNDS
| RESTRICTED FUNDS | RESTRICTED FUNDS |
|---|---|
| I am pleased to note that my recommendation last year to close most of the restricted funds | |
| which had very small balances in them was implemented which has resulted in just 3 remaining | |
| which are | |
| Building Fund/Fabric | 11074.88 |
| Fellowship Fund |
2182.58 |
| Alpha | 100.85 |
| TOTAL | 13358.31 |
DESIGNATED FUNDS
There are now no designated funds remembering that where a Church chooses to designate certain monies or transfer a certain amount of money into a particular fund for budgetary purposes, this is still classified as unrestricted money as it can equally chose to un-designate any such funds from time to time.
LIABILITIES
The only liability outstanding is the Baptist Ministers Pension Fund which has now reduced to £48100 (£71700) Although there is no requirement to settle the amount which is now expected to decrease at a much slower pace and depends on market fluctuations it is still hopefully be cleared by 2028.
The majority of Baptist Ministers are members of the Baptist Pension Scheme which until a few years ago operated a Defined Benefits Scheme for their retirement and their widows. In 2012 the deficit on the fund had increased to such a level that the Trustees took the decision to close that fund and change over to a Defined Contributions scheme for existing and new employees.
GIVING TO OTHER CAUSES
it is pleasing to report that the Church continues to be very generous in its support for other Missions including the Baptist denominations Home Mission Fund, and BMS World Vision in addition to some other National and local based charities.
In addition contributions from individuals and supporters for other causes £2595 (£2635) The additional monies do not technically form part of the SOFA but I think it is important as well as good practice to still show these
RECONCILIATION of ACCOUNTS
I have had no difficulty reconciling the income and expenditure to the balances, and can affirm that the computer system agrees to that shown on the bank statements
PAYROLL
The Payroll of the Minister is handled in-house
FINANCIAL RESERVES POLICY
With the building work completed the General Fund has now been reduced to £35K and so the Church needs to ensure that it agrees an adequate Reserves Policy in place by which it should try not go below
This is normally 6 months of the average expenditure of fixed costs and also the legal responsibilities relating to paid staff such as the Minister
CHURCHES, CHARITIES and INCORPORATION
More and more Churches have started the process of changing to CIO status and for the sake of completeness I once again reproduce that section of my report
A CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organization) is a new form of legal structure that is now available to charities that want to incorporate and Baptist Together have produced two Guideline Leaflets C11 and C12 for Churches who may be considering this option,
There are a number of advantages of adopting this status (eg. particularly protecting the Charity Trustees from Potential Personal Liability) but equally some disadvantages, as well as tricky areas such as Lease Backs. Endowments, Loans/Mortgages
I understand that the Church has started the process of applying for CIIO status but with the Pandemic has caused some delays in getting all the necessary paperwork and approvals ready so that they can be submitted.
It is invariable that this is almost certainly going to take some time so In order to avoid any additional costs such as having to prepare 2 sets of Annual Accounts, it is recommended that the new structure is put in place but not implemented until the close of the accounting year with the new Church charity operating from the first day of the subsequent year.
NEW WAYS of GIVING
Last year in my report I mentioned the New Ways of giving which are now being offered to Charities and Churches to keep pace with the changing life style of donors particularly in the younger generation which tend to use their mobile phones and IPADS to do most of their banking.
In this context our Software suppliers have started to market MY GIVING APPS and CONTATCLESS donation terminals and although this may be some way off for many our Churches, I have no doubt that many of our larger congregations may well be considering introducing something similar in the next few years
SUMMARY
The Management accounts which are attached are once again in the form of Receipt and Payments format, which provides the overview to the Trustees, Deacons and Church as to the Income and Expenditure in 2020 together with the closing balances, and I reproduced below the relevant section from the Charity Commission website.
Independent examination at a glance To maintain public confidence in the work of charities, charity law requires most charities to have an external scrutiny of their accounts. Provided a charity is not required by law or its governing document to have an audit then trustees may choose a simpler and less expensive form of external scrutiny called an independent examination. For financial years ending on or after 31 March 2015, trustees may opt for an independent examination instead of an audit provided their charity’s gross income is not more than £1m, or where gross income exceeds £250,000, its gross assets are not more than £3.26 million. An independent examination is a simpler form of scrutiny than an audit but it still provides trustees, funders, beneficiaries, stakeholders and the public with an assurance that the accounts of the charity have been reviewed by an independent person. All charities with an income of more than £25,000 that opt not to have an audit must have to
have an examination. Whether acting as a volunteer or being paid a fee for their work, the role of the independent examiner is important and they must follow certain steps in carrying out the examination and make a report to the trustees setting out particular matters once they have finished their examination. There is a process to be followed and separate guidance - Independent examination of charity accounts: examiners (CC32) - is available which takes the examiner through the Directions which set the procedures that the examiner must follow, explains their reporting duties and provides the examiner with practical advice at every stage. Whilst in most cases the examiner will be reviewing receipts and payments accounts and so will not need to be a qualified accountant to carry out a proper independent examination, the examiner still needs a certain level of ability and knowledge to undertake a competent examination and to set out their report in the way that is required by the 2008 Regulations. Where gross income is more than £250,000 charity law requires the examiner to be a member of a body listed in the Charities Act.
In the event of a Church exceeding this figure (eg. when going through a major building project there is an option available where the Charity Commission can grant exemption for 1 or 2 years (although in 2021 it is only the expenditure which exceeds the £250,000 threshold. However if the income was to exceed £250,000 as a regular occurrence I would need to get the accounts signed off by someone who has the suitable qualification.
Once the figures are adopted, they will need to be filed on the Charity Commission together with the reports as in previous years.
I am grateful for Chris Gardner for making my task that much easier and it is good to report that the finances of the Church are in good shape, and one hopes that the decisions taken with regard to the upgrading of the premises will be seen to be of enormous benefit to all those who use the premises.
Every blessing on your fellowship as we seek to return to something close to normality

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
Summary
Total income was £190k (135k 2020); total spend including Building Redevelopment was £415k (147k 2020) which utilised £225k of reserves, ending the year with £49k in reserves.
Income (Receipts)
Giving to the general fund was £122k (£124k in 2020), which despite the impact of Covid 19 pandemic almost equalled the previous year.
Giving to the MTP exceeded £63k, which indicates the generosity of members and their commitment to improving the premises for community engagement, ministry and mission.
Gift aid donations
Gift aid donations (£75k) were broadly in line with 2020 (£76k). Tax recovered was £15k (£21k in 2020), due to only one claim being made in the financial year.
Expenditure (Payments)
The church building was closed for the majority of the year which resulted in greatly reduced expenditure on heating, cleaning and church life activities. With no SWYM worker and one minister, the underspend on the general fund was £38k.
