BARNES METHODIST CHURCH

TRUSTEES' REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2020.

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity's governing documents, the Charities Act 2011 and the 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 from 1 January 2015.

Objectives and activities

The objective and policy of the trustees, both long term and short term, is to enable the church to function successfully at a local level alongside our local ecumenical partners, through the Richmond and Hounslow circuit with our neighbouring Methodist Churches and through the Methodist Connexion with our national and international community.

The purposes of the Methodist Church are, and have been since the date of the union, as set out in section 4 of the Methodist Church Act of 1976. The calling of the Methodist Church is to respond to the gospel of God's love in Christ and to live out its discipleship in worship and mission. The ministry includes:

Worship - The Church exists to increase awareness of God's presence and to celebrate God's love Evangelism - The Church exists to make more followers of Jesus Christ Learning and caring - The Church exists to help people to grow and learn as Christians, through mutual support and care

Service - The Church exists to be a good neighbour to people in need and to challenge injustice

Barnes Methodist Church exists to exercise the whole ministry of Jesus Christ, particularly in the local community

The church building is licensed for marriages and for funeral services.

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

Achievements and performance

At the start of the year, the congregation was meeting every Sunday for worship, and on a weekday for bible study. The church was also used for occasional concerts and regularly for ABRSM music exams and the rooms downstairs were in use daily by local activity groups. During the winter months the church hosted a night shelter for the homeless run by the charity Glass Door.

Covid restrictions came into force in March 2020 and required us to close the building. Lettings were suspended. Opportunities for worship online were provided by the circuit.

BARNES METHODIST CHURCH

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020

Financial review

Incoming resources decreased by 32.3% from £150,189 to £101,645 during the year, largely due to the reduction in rental income as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Charitable expenditure increased to £124,192 compared with £115,232 in 2019. This includes apportioned support and governance costs which have increased by 40.2% from £56,849 to £79,708. As a result an overall deficit of £23,161 (2019: surplus of £35,383) has been made before any gains from revaluation of the Church buildings.

The net assets of the Church at the year-end show a healthy balance sheet, mainly as a result of the inclusion of the Church building in the accounts at its valuation of £5,750,000 (2019: £5,057,016). Excluding tangible fixed assets, the total funds would be £358,257 (2019: £379,568).

The Church flat is let to a tenant placed there by the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. The Borough Council is responsible for the payment of the rent to the Church.

The Church is again deeply indebted to the dedicated commitment, financial support, gifts in kind, work and selfsacrifice of our members in many ways, without which we, and the neighbourhood, would be much the poorer.

From time to time, the Church has surplus funds to invest on a short-term basis. Funds have traditionally been placed with the Central Finance Board of the Methodist Church, which has a record of prudent management and good returns, coupled with flexibility and ease of repayment. It is not likely in the near future that there will be many funds to invest, so obtaining comparisons with other similar bodies may have a very limited effect. However, when funds begin to accumulate, testing the market may be a more worthwhile exercise.

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six months' expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

Structure, governance and management

The charity registered with the Charity Commission on 1st February 2010, having previously taken advantage of the exception under Statutory Instrument 2002 (no. 1598). Its governing documents are the Deed of Union (1932) and the Methodist Church Act (1976).

The trustees who served during the year are listed in note 24 to the accounts.

The charity's current policy concerning the payment of trade creditors is to follow the CBI's Prompt Payers Code (copies are available from the CBI, Centre Point, 103 New Oxford Street, London WC1A 1DU).

The charity's current policy concerning the payment of trade creditors is to:

• settle the terms of payment with suppliers when agreeing the terms of each transaction;

• ensure that suppliers are made aware of the terms of payment by inclusion of the relevant terms in contracts; and

• pay in accordance with the charity's contractual and other legal obligations.

There were no trade creditors of the charity at the year end.

BARNES METHODIST CHURCH

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES OF BARNES METHODIST CHURCH

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Barnes Methodist Church (the charity) for the year ended 31 August 2020.

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 2011 Act).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn.

I understand that this has been done in order for financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

• 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or

• 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

• 3 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.

BARNES METHODIST CHURCH

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020

1 Accounting policies

Charity information

Barnes Methodist Church is a registered charity with the Charity Commission and its governing documents are the Deed of Union (1932) and the Methodist Church Act (1976). The registered office is Barnes Methodist Church, Station Road, London, SW13 0NH.

1.1 Accounting convention

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing documents, the Charities Act 2011 and “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)” (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

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 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 the Statement of Recommended Practice for charities applying FRS 102 rather than the version of the Statement of Recommended Practice which is referred to in the Regulations but which has since been withdrawn.

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 £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, [modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value]. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.2 Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3 Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives.

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. The Church has one Permanent Endowment; a Legacy which was left some years ago by M G Calvert to provide a regular income for musical and cultural purposes. It is invested with The Trustees for Methodist Church Purposes.

1.4 Incoming resources

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

BARNES METHODIST CHURCH

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2020

1 Accounting policies

(Continued)

Barnes Methodist Church welcomes all legacies and gifts in memoriam. Legacies are a valuable source of income, and the Church has benefited considerably over the years from the generous provision by members and adherents for its continuing work after their death. Legacies may be earmarked for specific activities or concerns, for example youth work, maintenance of the organ, or simply to support on-going work. Legacies are recognised on date of receipt.

1.5 Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges are allocated on the portion of the asset’s use.

Resources expended are recognised on an accruals basis and allocated between costs of generating funds, charitable activities and governance costs.

Governance costs represent all costs incurred in maintaining and running the Church buildings and meeting all legal and financial reporting requirements. Support and governance costs are apportioned to charitable activities on the proportion of the direct costs incurred.

1.6 Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Fixtures, fittings & equipment 5% - 10% straight-line, per annum Computers 33% straight-line, per annum

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

No depreciation is provided in terms of freehold land.

After taking advice from the Charity Commission, in conjunction with the Methodist Property Office, the Church building and the school property need to be included on the Balance Sheet, at their insured value as determined by Methodist Insurance plc. An adjustment is made every year (where material) as an unrealised gain.

It has been identified from the SORP (FRS 102) that historic Churches are unlikely to meet the heritage asset definition, as the preservation of the buildings they occupy is unlikely to be the primary objective of the Charity. Churches therefore do not qualify as a heritage asset and thus cannot be included at nil cost.

(Continued)

1.7 Fixed asset investments

Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

An associate is an entity, being neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture, in which the charity holds a long-term interest and where the charity has significant influence. The charity considers that it has significant influence where it has the power to participate in the financial and operating decisions of the associate.

1.8 Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

1.9 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.10 Financial instruments

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

(Continued)

1.11 Employee benefits

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

1.12 Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

1.13 Taxation

As a charity, the Church benefits from Rates Relief and is exempt from direct tax on its charitable income and, because they are specifically exempted or regarded as de minimus, its fundraising activities. We are therefore able to recover, through Gift Aid, the tax already suffered by donors from their income. In 2020 this amounted to £1,139 (2019: £2,768).

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The significant estimations are considered to be depreciation of fixed assets and the valuation of the church at the year end.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

15 Tangible fixed assets

(Continued)

Land and buildings with a carrying amount of £5,750,000 were revalued by the Trustees as at 31st August 2020 based on the insurance value by Methodist Insurance plc.

At 31 August 2020, had the revalued assets been carried at historic cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, their carrying amount would have been approximately £nil (2019 - £-).

Not included in fixed assets is an organ, purchased in 1925, which has an insurance value of £586,725 (2019 - £586,725). This has not been capitalised due to its unique nature and inability to obtain an accurate market value for the asset.
