## Section D Achievements and performance
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
The church, in fulfilling our purposes as a charity, has sought to deliver the objectives that are for the public good. The task of being a Christian Church has been fulfilled through regular, open worship sessions to which the public are always invited. Baptisms and Communion have been celebrated, the ongoing work with children and young people has continued in what is clearly a multi-ethnic congregation and community. In no way are these efforts confined to the already believing community. During the Covid lockdowns the church began to livestream Sunday services, and this has continued – making the worship accessible to the housebound. Church members meetings and other midweek groups also offer a zoom option to allow greater participation for those unable to travel. The church continues to act as a base for the North Oxfordshire Food Bank, with the demand for help unabated since the covid lockdown period. We have offered our premises to the wider community and they are now used by over twenty-five different groups with no direct church link; they recognise that we are here for them as we endeavour to be. The church offers a wide range of activities for the children and young people in the area. Groups include Little Fishes for pre-schoolers and carers, and Friday evening have 2 youth clubs for children in school years 2 – 13. Our youth worker works in the local secondary school and assists with wellbeing issues. In 2020 the church committed to a five-year vision plan in which they would focus on three specific areas which would impact the local community: 1. Evangelism: Sowing God’s Word (sharing God’s love with those who live alongside us). 2. Social action: Sharing God’s Peace. 3. Ecology: Safeguarding God’s Creation (working with others towards a greener Kidlington and safeguard the planet). The Dovecote Café (launched in 2021) operates twice a week and focusses on being a safe place where it is ‘ok not to be ok’. Its primary focus is to support people who may have mental health needs. The church also committed to work with regards to our ‘ecological footprint’ and is a part of the Kidlington Eco Group (KEG) which is a network of ecologically-minded agencies, groups, and individuals working towards a greener Kidlington and world. The church is also well on the way to being awarded the Silver Eco-Church award through _A Roche._ The Eco-Church award focuses on worship and teaching, management of church buildings, management of church land, community and global engagement, and lifestyle.
Feed-back from contacted people in each of these tasks of service suggests that without the existence of the Church the wider community would be severely lacking in both resources and community spirit.

## **6. Pension Scheme Liabilities**
The Church is a participating employer the Baptist Pension Scheme (“the Scheme”), which is a separate legal entity administered by the Pension Trustee (Baptist Pension Trust Limited). The assets of the Scheme are held separately from those of the Employer and the other participating employers.
The Scheme, previously known as the Baptist Ministers’ Pension Fund, started in 1925, but was closed to future accrual of defined benefits on 31 December 2011. Prior to this date the main benefit provided through the Defined Benefit (DB) Plan was a pension of one eightieth of final minimum pensionable income for each year of pensionable service together with additional pension in respect of premiums paid on Pensionable Income in excess of Minimum Pensionable Income. Since 1 January 2012, benefits have been provided through a Defined Contribution (DC) Plan.
A formal valuation of the DB Plan as at 31 December 2019 by a professionally qualified Actuary using the Projected Unit Method. At the valuation date the market value of the DB Plan assets was £298 million, whilst the level of assets needed to pay benefits was £316m, giving a deficit of £18m (equivalent to a past service funding level of 94%). The Church and the other participating employers in the DB Plan are collectively responsible for funding this deficit. The next actuarial valuation of the DB Plan within the Scheme is due to take place not later than as at 31 December 2022.
On 30th June 2022 the Baptist Pension Scheme signed an agreement with the insurance company Just Group (“Just”) to secure DB Plan members’ pension benefits. Just are now providing financial backing for all pensions provided through the Scheme’s DB Plan and following this transaction, the Scheme no longer has a shortfall. An updated Recovery plan was then signed in August 2022 under which recovery contributions from each participating employer in the DB Plan reduced to £1 per month from August 2022.
