YORK BAPTIST CHURCH TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

The Trustees present their report and the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” (FRS 102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.

Preparation of Financial Statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and 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 accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland published in October 2019.

Structure, Governance and Management

The full name of the charity is York Baptist Church. The charity became registered with the Charity Commission in England and Wales on 1st February 2010. Its registered number is 1133952. It is governed by a Constitution dated 28 September 2009.

Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees

Trustees are generally already familiar with the work of the charity having been involved as regular members prior to their appointment. The appointment is made by a two-thirds majority vote of the church members at the Annual General Meeting.

The removal of trustees, should it be necessary, is effected by a majority vote of the church members.

Reserves Policy

It is the policy of the charity to maintain a general unrestricted reserve which are the free reserves of the charity at a level which equates to approximately three months unrestricted expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover operating costs, support costs and to respond to emergency needs.

Other funds are created for specific purposes and are either designated or restricted. Further details are provided in notes 5, 6 and 14 to the accounts.

Risk Management

The Trustees have identified the risks which impact their work. They believe that maintaining free reserves at the levels stated above, together with an annual review of the controls over the financial systems carried out on an ongoing basis and by ensuring the assets and staff are adequately Insured, this will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions occurring.

The Trustees continue to ensure that York Baptist Church complies with all relevant legislation including Data Protection, Health and Safety. The charity has terms and conditions in its contracts incorporating Job Descriptions with all of its employees and operates a Disciplinary & Grievance procedure.

YORK BAPTIST CHURCH TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Achievements and Performance during the Year

Slowly but surely over the last twelve months we have been able to get back to relatively normality as the pandemic restrictions have fallen away. Many thanks to those who have worked tireless to ensure we were able to do as much as possible at YBC in a safe manner. Though it has been challenging at times the Lord has seen us through and I wonder if we haven’t come out the other side with a greater appreciation of the many things we missed during the height of the pandemic, especially the joy of physically meeting together and singing praises to the Lord.

John Green has continued in his role of interim minister over the past year and we are incredibly thankful for his ministry, faithfully preaching from God’s word each week, pastoral care for the church and general leadership in what has been difficult and somewhat unprecedented times. As a church we are currently in the process of seeking to appoint a permanent pastor and the diaconate and the church have been exploring this with John as our preferred choice. The diaconate met formally with John to discuss this and have unanimously recommended to the membership that we appoint him as our pastor. A special church meeting has been called for March 14th 2022 to vote on whether the church will invite John to take on the role on a permanent basis. Mike Beresford and Graham King joined the diaconate at the 2021 AGM, and Phil Callow stepped down in September 2021 as he and Helen moved up to Edinburgh to support the work of 20Schemes.

Our morning and evening services have been continuing both in person and with the ability to join on Zoom for those unable to make it in. Again, we need to thank the tech team who make this possible – it may seem straightforward to join by Zoom but there is a lot required that goes on in the background to make it possible. We’ve seen a steady increase in attendance at both services as restrictions and guidance have been relaxed and we’re getting around 180 on a Sunday morning and 30-40 on Sunday evenings. These numbers include those joining via Zoom, though it has been great to see more and more people back in church as they’ve felt able. John has continued to organise more outreach focussed services on the 2nd Sunday of each month while Mike Beresford has headed the team sorting the informal services on the 4th evening services. The All-Age services happened six times across the year where the children and adult stay together in the main church for the service.

2021 saw the first ever virtual Holiday Club at YBC and we were blessed that this went ahead without any technical issues (though these anticipated!) and lots of kids where able to join that and do the various crafts and activities at home. Many thanks for everyone involved with ‘Missions Impossible’ – it was certainly different from usual years but still a great opportunity to tell the children the great new of the gospel. At Christmas we were able to get back to all the usual Christmas services, from the Nativity services with the children dressing up, to the Jellytots Nativity, Carols by Candlelight, Carols in the Courtyard and the Christmas day service. The Carols in the Courtyard on Christmas Eve as particularly well attended, with many passersby and locals who received invited joining in.

At YBC we’ve continue to use the software ‘Church Suite’ to help with planning, rotas, registration for events etc. and we will seek to use this to its full potential in the future months.

Church Membership is 98 (March 2022).

Thanks must go to Meg for the huge amount of work she did as Administrator. She is now working for Age UK and our new administrator is Peter Bacon who started February 2021. Many thanks also go to Eddy who keeps the church so clean and all those who help maintain the fabric (certainly not an easy task). Welcoming/stewarding has been different with masks and no hand shaking but many thanks go to those who have continued on with this important activity. Flower arranging, coffee and tea after services, catering, and providing transport have not happened for most of this year but we know these activities will occur once again when we are back to normal. We look forward to this!

We thank the Lord for the year that is past and we look forward to how He will use YBC in the year ahead.

YORK BAPTIST CHURCH TRUSTEES REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Financial Review

Total income for the year was £196,393 (2020: £176,654), expenditure was £135,702 (2020: £170,060) showing a surplus for the year of £60,691 (2020: surplus of £6,594).

York Baptist Church maintains a general reserve fund into which are placed all gifts, donations and legacies received without any stipulation or preference expressed by the donor. YBC also receives gifts from donors with specific requirements attached to the gift. These gifts are maintained in a restricted fund and only used in accordance with the specific instructions of the donors.

At 31 December 2021, balances were held on the following restricted funds: Manse Fund: £117,116 Tuesday Fellowship Fund: £179 Mission Fund: £225

Plans for Future Period

From a financial perspective, 2021 saw a 11% increase in income coupled with a 20% decrease in expenditure, leading to a surplus for the year of £60,691 compared with a surplus for 2020 of £6,594.

It has been our experience that when experiencing challenges of all types including financial, that we can trust in Almighty God to provide for our needs as he has promised to do. We have never been let down by Him and we go confidently into 2022 knowing that He will provide for all our needs.

Finally, the trustees wish to thank all who have supported the Church’s work through their concern, prayers and generous giving throughout the last year. May God bless all who have contributed to the success of this work.

Trustees Responsibilities

The Charities Act 2011 requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and the surplus of the charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements the trustees are required to:

• Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently

• Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent

● Prepare financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the trust will continue in existence.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the trust. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Approved by the Trustees on 11th July 2022 and signed on their behalf by Colin Stonelake, Trustee

YORK BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 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), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice.

The charity has applied Update Bulletin 1 as published on 2 February 2016 and does not include a cash flow statement on the grounds that it is applying FRS 102 Section 1A. 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 the 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) issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost convention. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and rounded to the nearest £1. Incoming Resources Recognition of Incoming Resources These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when: ▪ the charity becomes entitled to the resources; ▪ the trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and ▪ the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability Offerings are classified as follows: (a) General offerings comprise amounts received during the year through standing orders and collections including payments under deed of covenant. (b) Specific offerings comprise amounts received by the church which have been designated for specific purposes by the donors. Volunteer Help The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the trustees' annual report. Income tax reclaimable Income tax reclaimable represents amounts receivable from the HM Revenue & Customs in respect of income received during the year. Expenditure and Liabilities Expenditure is included in the SOFA on an accruals basis. Resources expended are recognised in the period in which they are incurred. They are allocated to the particular activity to which they relate. Governance Costs These are for the running of the Charity itself as an organisation and include costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the costs of the trustees meetings and cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters. Pension costs All employees of the church have been auto-enrolled in a pension scheme and into which the Church pays a contribution from the church of 5% of their salary. At 31 December 2021 there were four employees, three of whom work part-time. Funds accounting The Trustees have classified the funds of the Mission as follows: Unrestricted Funds comprise those funds which the Trustees are free to use in accordance with the charitable objects. This includes a discretionary grants fund is used by the trustees to make grants and donations to other charities, organisations and individuals to carry out specific activities which are in accordance with the charity's aims and objectives. Restricted Funds are used in accordance with the specific instructions of the donors. Changes in Accounting Policies and Previous Accounts There has been no change to the accounting policies (variation rules and methods of accounting) since last year, and no changes to the previous accounts. Fixed Assets These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £10,000. They are valued at cost or, if gifted, at the value to the charity on receipt. Depreciation Expenses Depreciation is calculated at a rate to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets on the following basis over their estimated useful lives:

Plant and Equipment 20% straight line Vehicles 20% straight line Computer etc 33% straight line No depreciation is charged to freehold property as the property is maintained to such a standard that the estimated residual value is not less than cost. Financial instruments The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Cash at bank and in hand Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account. Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.

Loans and borrowings

Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the transaction price including transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment. If an arrangement constitutes a finance transaction it is measured at present value.

Going Concern

At the time of approving the accounts, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the trustees have 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 accounts.

13. RISK ASSESSMENT

The trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining the free reserves stated, combined with the annual review of the controls over key financial systems carried out on an annual basis will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The trustees have also examined other operational and business risks which they face and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.

14. RESERVES POLICY

The trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the charity's needs. This is based on the charity's size and the level of financial commitments held. The trustees aim to ensure the charity will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure. The trustees will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily.

15. PUBLIC BENEFIT

The charity acknowledges its requirement to demonstrate clearly that it must have charitable purposes or ‘aims’ that are for the public benefit. Details of how the charity has achieved this are provided in the Trustees report. The Trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit before deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
