## **FRIMLEY BAPTIST CHURCH**
## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT**
## **For the year ended 31st December 2021**
The Trustees are pleased to submit their Annual Report.
## **Constitution**
Frimley Baptist Church (the Church) was constituted as a charity in its own right in 2009. The charity number is 1132849.
A written constitution which follows the Baptist Union format sets out the principles by which the Church is organised and managed. A separate trust deed contains provisions governing the church building
## **Minister, Trustees and Ministry Team**
During ,2021 the former Ministry Team brought a proposal for restructuring the nature of the leadership within the church separating the Ministry Team (comprising Elders and Deacons) into two groups: Trustees (focused on Spiritual oversight and legal requirements for the administration of the charity); and a Ministry Team (focused on ministry, youth, and pastoral matters). The proposal was agreed at the Annual Church Meeting and was embodied within a formally approved revision to the church’s constitution (also approved at the Annual Church Meeting). The Minister, Trustees and Ministry Team members are appointed by the members of the Church in accordance with the constitution. People are eligible to hold the post of Trustee and member of the Ministry Team and limitations apply related to close family members being within the leadership (as set out in the amended constitution).
Minister, Trustee and Chairman of the Ministry Team Rev. Glyn Thomas Trustees John Bragg (Chairman of the Trustees) Derek Witt Margaret Maxfield Duncan Matheson (also a member of the Ministry Team Trustee representative)
(In May 2021 Derek Witt, Margaret Maxfield and John Bragg formally resigned as members of the FBC Ministry Team)

## **For the year ended 31st December 2021**
## **Objectives and Activities of the Church**
The Church has continued its ministry of advancing the Christian faith in word and action, both locally, nationally and around the world supporting other organisations and individuals through prayer and financially
In a normal year, the Church runs some 40 activities covering a full spectrum of ages. These are open to all and provided either free of charge or for a small, nominal charge.
During 2021 both patterns of worship and the activities of the church were severely impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic. Services had already changed in 2020 from three meetings each Sunday to one service, delivered via YouTube and in person (and via YouTube) when Covid restrictions and Trustee decision permitted (taking account of Government and Baptist Union advice).
These activities were underpinned by extensive and comprehensive Risk Assessments (which were reviewed, and subsequently approved, by the church’s Trustees) and the physical rearrangement of church facilities to minimise the potential for any Covid-19 transmission.
Similarly, many groups were unable to meet face to face during parts of the year. Some groups, particularly those focused on children and youth, were able to transition to Zoom related meetings and continued to operate in this way until later in the year when face to face meetings resumed. Again this followed the creation of suitable Risk Assessments (which were also reviewed, and subsequently approved, by the church’s Trustees).
Throughout, caution was the church’s watch-word – balancing the needs of those who wanted to meet in person when permitted with the need to manage risk of infection or transmission of any virus.
Groups for men (The Shed) and Ladies (Women @ FBC) met throughout the year, engaging in various activities. The Pop-In café operated for part of the year and contact with Midweek Fellowship was maintained through phone calls, regular newsletters, and physical meetings when conditions permitted.
The Church commits to give 20% of unrestricted income to activities outside of Frimley Baptist, in addition there are regular collections for the 'Remember the Poor' fund — all of which is used to support the needy locally, nationally, and internationally. There were special collections for Tearfund’s ‘Recover Together’ appeal (in June 2021) and Surrey based Christian charity, Emerge, and Open Doors (supporting their work in Afghanistan) in December 2021.
[A full report of the Church’s activities can be found in the Church’s Annual Report 2020 presented at the Annual Church Members’ Meeting in May 2021.]
## **Public Benefit**
The Trustees have considered the guidance provided by the Charity Commission regarding public benefit and the work of the charity.

## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT**
## **For the year ended 31st December 2021**
## **Training of Trustees**
On appointment Trustees are given an induction pack to explain the duties and responsibilities of Trustees. Where a deacon's role carries specific responsibilities, training is provided as necessary. All Trustees undergo safeguarding training and are DBS checked at the enhanced level.
## **Decision making process within the Charity**
Decisions are taken in accordance with the framework set out in the Constitution. The decision of the Church Members’ Meeting is final. Proposals for action are brought to the Church Members’ Meeting by both the Trustee group and the Ministry Team.
The Trustees retain formal legal responsibilities for the effective running of the church (the charity) and the delivery of its objectives. The Church Meeting may give directions to the Trustees, but legal responsibilities cannot be held or delegated by the Church Meeting (for example in relation to the employment of staff).
From time to time, sub-groups of the Ministry Team are convened and assigned to the task of evaluating options (within their delegated responsibilities) and these are discussed in full meetings of the Ministry Team. Decisions are made by the Ministry Team, if within their remit, or matters are brought to the Church Members’ Meeting for discussion and voting.
Budgets are agreed annually by the Church Members’ Meeting
Expenditure is made only on approval of the budget holder and with two signatures.
## **Finance**
The financial statements:
- have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the financial statements;
- Comply with the charity’s governing document;
- The Charities Act 2011; and
- Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (“Charities SORP”).
The Church is financed by members and other individuals closely associated with it. There was a surplus on general funds of £24,115. Cash has been invested with the Cambridge & Counties bank on a short-term basis to earn higher rates of interest.
The Trustees give thanks to God for the timely provision of money through His people to enable the work of the church to continue.
The Church reviews the major risks to which the Church is exposed on an annual basis.
The Church has general reserves to be able to continue its ministry, these total £140,138 on 31 December 2021. The Church aims to retain about £40,000 as reserves to fulfil its obligations as an employer and to cover any unforeseen costs. Any additional funds above the reserves level are retained for future spending and will be used when appropriate to enhance the ministry of the Church or develop the Church's premises. Reserves will be increased to ensure we meet all of our obligations.

## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT**
## **For the year ended 31st December 2021**
## **Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). The trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- a) select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- b) observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- c) make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- d) state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
- e) prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue to operate.
The trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **FRIMLEY BAPTIST CHURCH**
## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Frimley Baptist Church**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of The Frimley Baptist Church (‘the charity’) for the year ended 31 December 2021 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and related notes.
This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for my work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor considers in giving their opinion on the financial statements. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide. Consequently I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements present a ‘true and fair’ view and my report is limited to those specific matters set out in the independent examiner’s statement.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
- accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
- the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
- the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

## **FRIMLEY BAPTIST CHURCH**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
## **Year ended 31 December 2021**
## **1. Accounting Polices**
## **Basis of Accounting**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (Charities SORP 2021), applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Second Edition)’and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and the UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015.
The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following ‘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) (Second Edition)’rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.
Frimley Baptist Church meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
The Church holds only basic financial instruments. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate. After making enquiries, especially considering the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic, the trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resource for the foreseeable future. The Charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
## **Income**
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the Charity is legally entitled to the income after any performance conditions have been met, the amount can be measured reliably and it is probable that the income will be received.
Donations, including income tax recovered on donations, are accounted for gross when received.
Legacies are accounted for when probate has been completed, the amount of the legacy can be reliably quantified and the conditions of the legacy are within the control of the church.
Investment income is included in the accounts in the year in which it is receivable.
## **Expenditure recognition**
All expenditure is accounted on an accruals basis. Expenditure is recognized where there is a legal or constructive obligation to make payments to third parties, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Support costs are those that assist the work of the church but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs and governance costs. A significant amount of management is carried out without charge by volunteers. This intangible cost is not included in the Statement of Financial Activities since there is no measurable cost to the volunteers for their services.

## **FRIMLEY BAPTIST CHURCH**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
## **Year ended 31 December 2021**
## **1. Accounting Polices** _**continued**_
## **VAT**
Due to the nature of the Church’s activities, it is outside the scope of VAT and therefore its financial activities, as stated, are VAT inclusive.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Fixed assets over £1,000 are capitalised. Depreciation is provided on cost or revalued amount over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The rates Land and buildings – freehold property 2% straight line basis Fixtures, fittings and equipment 20% reducing balance basis
Although the freehold property has been revalued by the Trustees periodically, the Trustees do not intend to revalue the property in the future.
## **Funds**
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for specific purposes. The revaluation of the freehold property has been treated as a designated fund and is reduced by the annual depreciation provided.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for specific purposes. Expenditure which meets the criteria is charged to the fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
## **Employee benefits**
For all eligible members of staff the church pays a fixed sum into their personal pension schemes on a defined contribution basis via the NEST scheme which complies with Auto-Enrolment.
In previous years the church had paid in to the Baptist Union final salary scheme for ministers. This is a defined benefit scheme and was found to be underfunded. The deficit on this scheme has required the church to continue to pay a fixed amount of £3,695 per annum. This liability for the agreed deficit reduction payments is recognised in the accounts.

## **FRIMLEY BAPTIST CHURCH**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
## **For the year ended 31st December 2021**
## **15. Pension**
The Church is a participating employer in 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 Minister' 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.
For any month, each participating employer in the Scheme pays contributions as set out in the Schedule of Contributions in force at that time.
From January 2012, pension provision is being made through the Defined Contribution (DC) Plan within the Scheme. In general, members pay 8% of their Pensionable Income and employers pay 6% of members’ Pensionable Income into individual pension accounts, which are operated and managed on behalf of the Pension Trustee by Broadstone Corporate Benefits Ltd. In addition, the employer pays a further 4% of Pensionable Income to cover Death in Service Benefits, administration costs, and an associated insurance policy which provides income protection for Scheme members in the event that they are unable to work due to long-term incapacity. This income protection policy has been insured by the Baptist Union of Great Britain with Aviva Limited. Members of the Basic Section pay reduced contributions of 5% of Pensionable Income, and their employers also pay a total of 5%. The further 4% contribution rate is reduced to 3% for Employer contributions made to the Segregated DC Arrangement.
The Scheme is considered to be a multi-employer scheme as described in Section 28 of FRS102. This is because it is not possible to attribute the Scheme's assets and liabilities to specific employers and means that contributions are accounted for as if the Scheme were a defined contribution scheme. The pension costs charges to the SOFA in the year are contributions payable towards benefits and expenses accrued in that year, plus any impact of deficiency contributions (see below).
## **Actuarial valuation as at 31 December 2019**
A formal valuation of the Defined Benefit (DB) Plan was performed 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 £316 million, giving a deficit of £18 million (equivalent to a past service level of 94%). The church and other participating employers in the DB Plan are collectively responsible for funding this deficit.

Mortality is assumed in accordance with 80% of the S3NA standard mortality table, Future improvements projects from 2013 in line with the "CMI 2019" projection with a long-term rate of improvement of 1.75%pa for males and 1.5% pa for females with the core smoothing parameter and with additional initial mortality improvement factor
The next actuarial valuation of the DB Plan within the Scheme is due to take place not later than as at 31 December 2022.
## **Recovery Plan**
In addition to the contributions to the DC Plan set out above, where a valuation of the DB Plan reveals a deficit the Trustee and the Council agree to a rate of deficiency contributions from churches and other employers involved in the DB Plan.
Under the current Recovery Plan dated 30 September 2020, deficiency contributions are payable until 30 June 2026. These contributions are broadly based on the employer's membership at 31 December 2014 and increase annually in line with increases to Minimum Pensionable Income as defined in the Rules.
## **Movement in Balance Sheet liability**
Section 28.11A of FRS 102 requires agreed deficit recovery payments to be recognised as a liability. The movement in the provision is set out in the table below.
