## **TRUSTEES' REPORT**
## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2022**_
The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 30 November 2022.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the financial statements and comply with the Church’s constitution, 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 published in October 2019.
## **Objectives and activities**
The Trust's mission statement is to honour the Lord Jesus Christ, to grow in knowledge and experience of Him, and to share His love with each other, our town, nation and world.
The main objective of this Church is to share the love of and salvation provided by God through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, to those with whom Church members come into contact.
With the exception of ministers, the managing trustees all act in an honorary capacity. All give of their time in preparing and attending meetings, in sharing in pastoral oversight of Church members and adherents, and in sharing leadership in the many Church activities.
## **Public benefit statement**
When planning activities for the year the managing trustees have considered The Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.
The Charity undertakes regular public worship, prayer, Bible study, preaching and teaching; baptism; Communion of the Lord's Supper; evangelism and mission locally, often in conjunction with other Churches; the teaching, encouragement, welcome and inclusion of young people; the nurture and growth of Christian disciples; the education and training for Christian and community service; giving and encouraging pastoral care; supporting and encouraging charitable social action in the United Kingdom and abroad; encouraging relationships with and supporting Baptists and other Christians.
The managing trustees have a policy of raising funds to make grants to specific individuals and organisations. A total of £17,238 (2021: £12,297) was donated during the year to assist with the proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2022**_
## **Achievements and performance**
The managing trustees have continued to make the premises available to the members of Fuller Baptist Church for their use in worship and service within the Christian faith.
## **Public Worship and Prayer**
We have seen steadily increasing numbers of attendees on Sundays enjoying a mixture of worship styles plus all age services and communion. We rejoiced in a Baptism service. YouTube broadcasting of Sunday Services continued up to the summer.
House Groups and Prayer Hour have been regularly held throughout the year both in person and online.
## **Children and Youth**
Sunday Club is run as a single group for Primary age children, alongside Rock Solid for Secondary aged children; numbers attending both have increased during the year with almost 60 children and young people now on our registers.
A Youth Group meets on Sunday evenings for both socializing & learning. A Youth Alpha course has also been run during the year resulting several attendees exploring the possibility of Baptism in 2023. The Youth Group have also made several off-site trips during the year including trips to Christian Festivals and a day at the seaside. The young people have also met for one off events and socials, such as a BBQ, bowling and movie night. Youth Club continues to meet fortnightly and also during the summer holidays. All meetings and events relating to youth are organised and arranged by our Youth worker, Beth West.
Noah’s Ark, serving the parents and toddlers of Kettering by offering a safe and fun space for young children and their adults to be, continues to meet on a Friday morning.
Uniformed organisations meet weekly on the premises.
## **Mission and Evangelism**
Causes supported throughout the year included BMS World Mission, Christian Aid, Freetown (Sierra Leone) flood appeal and Ukraine. Visiting speakers were BMS workers in Chad and the founder of the Dorothy Springer Trust. We have also given to Home Mission to support UK Baptist churches in their work to expand the kingdom.
Outreach work has been undertaken with Saturday morning street missions and a weekly Coffee Morning is held, which has become a registered Warm Space.
## **Teaching and Discipleship**
Our theme for 2022 has been “Sharing faith; Sharing life” (1 Thess 2:8) and teaching and preaching has followed the theme. We’ve been greatly encouraged by the response which has opened up some wonderful new ministry possibilities, restoring and healing our fellowship and releasing us into new expressions of worship. Between Easter and Lent we held 50 Days of Togetherness when every day we learnt about a church member as they shared their faith and life.
A Christianity Explored course has once again been run and House groups and Bible Study have run throughout the year.

## **Achievements and performance (continued)**
## **Welcome, Fellowship and Pastoral Care**
During the year we have welcomed 10 new members and lost a few to death and transfer. As a result of reviewing our membership list, our membership now stand at 118 (2021: 124).
The Pastoral Care Team, including the Visiting Team, have continued to work to keep contact with and pray for housebound people and those suffering illnesses.
The Newcomers team continued to work at coming alongside those who have just arrived and joined us.
The Church have continued to employ a Youth Worker and a Church Operations Officer who have given the Church new opportunities for ministry.
Throughout the financial year the ministers of the Church were Reverend Dr Roland Sokolowski and Reverend Vicki Sokolowski. However, in September 2022 our ministers announced their intention to leave and their last service at the Church was on 11 December 2022.
The whole fellowship seeks to touch the lives of people in and around Kettering with the good news of Jesus Christ. Our mission statement is "Honouring the Lord Jesus Christ, growing in our knowledge and experience of him, sharing his love with each other, our town, nation and world".
## **Making the premises available for community use**
The Church hosts the office and course venues for Kettering Community Unit, a local charity working with vulnerable people and several hundred attend courses on the church premises during term time.
The Newland Street premises have been refurbished and now host a weekly Coffee morning that is on the Kettering “Warm Spaces” register.
The Church's heritage Centre continues to open the to the public and pre-arranged groups as well as forming links local schools.
The Church plans to increase the use of the building by the general public in the coming year, recognising that it is a community asset.
## **Financial review**
The principal funding source is the regular giving to the Church by its members and others, inclusive of associated gift aid tax recovery.
Total income for the year was £131,708 (2021: £137,953) of which £115,327 (2021: £123,351) came from donations and legacies. Income from charitable activities totalled £2,032 (2021: £215). Investments produced £4,521 compared to £4,847 in 2021.
Expenditure on charitable activities totalled £190,499 (2021: £144,137).
Overall there was a loss of £39,726 compared to a surplus in 2021 of £394.
The total fund balances carried forward now amount to £1,771,960 of which £1,533,351 are unrestricted funds. Part of this total is held on various designated funds. Free reserves are the unrestricted funds, not including designated funds, deducting amounts invested in tangible assets and investment properties. Free reserves are calculated to be £90,432 (2021: £183,951).

## **TRUSTEES OF FULLER BAPTIST CHURCH**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2022**_
## **Financial review (continued)**
During the year, the Trustees reviewed the level of free reserves and have decided that those funds which have not been designated for a specific use should, in future, be retained at a level equivalent to approximately 6 months expenditure. During the year, they have identified a number of projects and areas for which funds should be retained and have designated a total of £303,441 to meet these funding requirements. They will review the designated funds each year to work towards achieving the agreed level of free reserves. The Trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of unforeseen variations in income streams, they will be able to continue the Trust’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised.
The investments made by the managing trustees are in unit trusts for charities which were acquired some years ago on investment advice as being suitable investments for the holding of church funds. The equities were specifically bequeathed to the Church. The managing trustees do not consider the costs of employing professional investment advisors can be justified bearing in mind the amount of funds in quoted investments. All investments held by the Church during the year are in accordance with the powers of the trustees, as authorised by the Trustee Act 2000.
The trustees have reviewed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and in particular to those relating to the operations and finances of the charity.
Having regard to the levels and categories of insurance cover, the controls on the financial systems, and following the guidelines suggested by the Baptist Union of Great Britain in respect of both a Health and Safety Policy, a Safeguarding Policy and evacuation procedures in the event of an emergency, the trustees are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate the charity's exposure to major risks.

## **TRUSTEES OF FULLER BAPTIST CHURCH**
## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2022**_
## **Structure, governance and management**
The Trust was set up by a Declaration of Trust dated 25 February 1816, for the Baptist Church which had been founded in Kettering in 1696. The deed provides the basis for the working of Fuller Baptist Church on the site in Gold Street, or on any other site within a twelve mile radius.
The holding trustees have provided, through the generosity of many benefactors, the premises occupied by Fuller Baptist Church, for use by its members and others, in the worship of God and in adherence to the Christian Faith as practised by those known as Baptists.
The holding trustees are appointed by the members of the Church at a Special Church Meeting called for that purpose, and are appointed for life unless they resign, become of unsound mind, or are removed at a Special Church Meeting called for that purpose. The trust deed provides for a minimum of five and a maximum of thirteen trustees. The holding trustees own the legal title to the freehold and leasehold properties and investments of the Church. The holding trustees only meet when matters relating to property legal issues need to be progressed.
The holding trustees in office during the year were:
The Baptist Union Corporation Limited Mrs. N Butlin RGN RM H/V Cert (Retired) Mr D M Leverett FCA Mr. S G Toseland B Ed (Hons) Dr P D Wharin MA MB BChir MRCGP
The managing trustees are the ministers and deacons. The ministers are appointed by the members of the Church at a Special Church Meeting called for that purpose. The deacons are also appointed at a Special Church Meeting called for that purpose, and their term of appointment is normally three years, following which they are eligible for re-nomination. The managing trustees usually meet at least eleven times each year, and additional meetings are called as required. New managing trustees receive a booklet published by The Baptist Union of Great Britain outlining their duties and responsibilities.
The managing trustees (minister and deacons) who held office during the financial year were as follows:
Joe Cleaver – appointed November 2022 Jon Fell – appointed November 2022 Babs Halfpenny – appointed January 2022 and resigned March 2023 Jackie Jessop – appointed January 2022 David M Leverett Fiona I Malsher Thuli Ndlovu – appointed January 2022 Reverend Dr Roland Sokolowski - resigned December 2022 Reverend Victoria Sokolowski - resigned December 2022 Sue Stokes – appointed November 2022 Stephen R Vidler – Church Secretary David Whitehouse - Church Treasurer
Church members usually meet six times each year to decide on matters of business relating to the whole Church.
The Trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

## **TRUSTEES OF FULLER BAPTIST CHURCH**
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES**
## _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2022**_
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales 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 Trust and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the Trust for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Trust 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 Trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF TRUSTEES OF FULLER BAPTIST CHURCH**
I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Trustees of Fuller Baptist Church (the Trust) for the year ended 30 November 2022.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the Trustees of the Trust 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 Trust’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 Trust 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.

**TRUSTEES OF FULLER BAPTIST CHURCH**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2022**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Charity information**
The Fuller Baptist Church is a charity, registered with the Charity Commission no. 1134346 and meets the FRS 102 definition of a public benefit entity.
## **1.1 Accounting convention**
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 issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice.
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 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 in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Trust. 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 Trust 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.
Designated funds comprise funds which have been set aside at the discretion of the Trustees for specific purposes. The separate designated funds are listed in the notes to the financial statements.
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 Trust.
## **1.4 Incoming resources**
Income is recognised when the Trust 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 Trust has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount.
Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the Trust has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset.

## **TRUSTEES OF FULLER BAPTIST CHURCH**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2022**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **(Continued)**
## **1.5 Resources expended**
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and is recognised 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.
The Church does not make formal appeals for funds, and expenditure on these items is therefore not material.
The Church makes grants to other organisations whose charitable objectives complement its work. They are accounted for when the recipient has been notified of the grant and payment is unconditional.
Support costs are those costs that assist the work of the Church but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs and governance costs. Where support costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to expenditure on charitable activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Governance costs are costs associated the governance arrangements of the Church. Most of the 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 service.
## **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:
|Freehold land and buildings|0%|
|---|---|
|Fixtures, fittings and equipment|15% - 25%|
|Audio and IT equipment|33%|
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 has been provided on freehold land and buildings as it the policy of the trustees to maintain these assets in a continual state of sound repair. Accordingly the trustees consider the lives of these assets to be so long and their residual values so high, that their depreciation is insignificant.
## **1.7 Investment properties**
Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, is initially recognised at cost, which includes the purchase cost and any directly attributable expenditure.
Subsequently it is measured at fair value at the reporting end date. The surplus or deficit on revaluation is recognised in profit or loss.
## **1.8 Fixed asset investments**
Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date using the closing quoted market price. Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year.
## **1.9 Impairment of fixed assets**
At each reporting end date, the Trust 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).

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2022**_
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **(Continued)**
## **1.10 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. Deposits with original maturities between three months and twelve months are classified as current asset investments.
## _**Basic financial assets**_
Basic financial assets include debtors and cash and bank balances. Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered.
## _**Basic financial liabilities**_
Basic financial liabilities include creditors and bank loans. Creditors are normally recognised at their settlement amount.
## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Trust’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
## **1.11 Provisions**
Provisions are recognised when the Trust has a legal or constructive present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that the Trust will be required to settle that obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting end date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount expected to be required to settle the obligation is recognised at present value. When a provision is measured at present value, the unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in net income/(expenditure) in the period in which it arises.
## **1.12 Retirement benefits**
The Church operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Church pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid, the Church has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as an expense when they are due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Church in an independently administered fund.
Prior to 2012 pension provision was made through a multi-employer defined benefit pension plans. Where it is not possible for the Church to obtain sufficient information to enable it to account for a plan as a defined benefit plan, it accounts for it as a defined contribution plan.
Where the plan is in deficit and where the Church has agreed, with the plan, to participate in a deficit funding arrangement, the Church recognises a liability for this obligation. The amount recognised is the net present value of the contributions payable under the agreement that relate to the deficit. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost and any other change in the measurement of this liability is expensed to the Statement of Financial Activities.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2022**_
## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements**
In the application of the Trust’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 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.

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2022**_
## **19 Retirement benefit schemes**
## **(Continued)**
## **Defined benefit schemes**
The Church is a participating employer in the Baptist Pension Scheme (“the Scheme”), which is a separate legal entity which is administered by the Pension Trustee (Baptist Pension Trust Limited). The assets of the Scheme are held separately from those of the employer and 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.
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 Limited. 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 if 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 Scheme is considered to be a multi-employer scheme as described in Section 28 of FRS 102. Because it is not possible to attribute the Scheme's assets and liabilities to specific employers, the Scheme is accounted for as if the Scheme were a defined contribution scheme.
The Ministers are eligible to join the Scheme.
## **Actuarial valuation as at 31 December 2019**
A formal valuation of the DB Plan as at 31 December 2019 was carried out 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 funding level of 94%). The Church and the other participating employers in the DB Plan are collectively responsible for funding this deficit.
The key financial assumptions underlying the valuations were as follows:
|**Type of assumption**|**% p.a.**|
|---|---|
|RPI price inflation assumption|3.20|
|CPI price inflation assumption|2.70|
|Minimum Pensionable Income Increase Adjustment (above CPI)|0.50|
|Pre retirement assumed investment returns (gilt yield plus 1.75% pa)|2.95|
|Post retirement assumed investment returns (including||
|benefits matched by the insurance policy)(gilt yield plus 0.5% pa)|1.70|
|Minimum Pensionable Income increases (CPI plus 0.5%)|3.20|
|Deferred pension increases (based on RPI
Pre April 2009
Post April 2009|3.20
2.50|
|Pension increases||
|Based on CPI with an annual floor of 0% and annual cap of 5%|2.70|

Mortality is assumed in accordance with 80% of the S3NA standard mortality table. Future improvements are projected from 2013 in line with the 'CMI 2019' projection with a long-term rate of 1.75% p. a. for males and 1.5% p.a. for females with the core smoothing parameter and with additional initial mortality improvement factor A=0.5%.
The next actuarial valuation of the DB Plan within the Scheme will commence in 2023 to reflect the position 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.
Following the 2019 valuation a Recovery Plan was signed in September 2020 under which deficiency contributions are payable until June 2026. These contributions were broadly based on each employer's membership at 31 December 2014 and increase annually in line with increases to Minimum Pensionable Income as defined in the Rules.
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.
## **Movement in Balance Sheet liability**
FRS 102 requires agreed deficit recovery payments to be recognised as a liability. Details of the movement in provision are set out in note 18 to the financial statements.
The Church has been advised that the cost for the Church to buyout their Pension Scheme liabilities at 30 November 2022 was approximately £Nil (2021: £38,700).
