Charity name: Maybridge Community Church

Charity registration number: 1134489

Objectives and Activities

SORP reference
Summary of the purposes of
the charity as set out in its
governing document		 Para 1.17 The objects of the Church are (a) the
furtherance of the Christian religion by
the provision and maintenance of a
place for the public worship of God for
use by partners and attendees of the
church; and (b) the promotion of other
charitable purposes in accordance
with the Statement of Faith of the
church for the time being.
Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public
benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or
services identified in the
accounts.		 Para 1.17 and
1.19		 The activities of Maybridge
Community Church were significantly
affected by the Covid-19 pandemic
until the end of May when on-site
church services resumed. However,
following HM Government guidelines,
numbers at church services was
restricted. Throughout the pandemic
we have kept the public benefit
aspect in mind and in action through
what we have been able to deliver and
provide.
Sunday Church services: When
onsite church services resumed there
were three services at two different
venues, which were freely open to all,
providing people of all ages a range of
styles and opportunities for the public
worship of God, learning about the
Christian faith, welcoming newcomers
and building a sense of community.
On average 169 attended church every
Sunday across these services: The
8.30am Breakfast Church service at
the church building (average
attendance 24); The 10.30am Service
at St Oscar Romero Catholic High

School – previously known as Chatsmore Catholic School (average attendance 118) with a full programme of children and youth activities (‘Crèche’ ‘Seek’, ‘Explore’, Discover’ and ‘Elevate’); and an evening service called ‘The Six’ at the church building (average attendance of 24), followed by a youth gathering called ‘Amplify’. In addition the sermons from the 10.30am Service were freely available on our website, on YouTube, and podcast services. Other resources and materials related to the services were also made available on the website. Users of our website were from around the world as well as the UK. Throughout the year, when on-site church services were not possible, or limited in number due to the pandemic, a weekly digital church service was provided on the internet for anyone to access. Initially this was showing pre-recorded content, then this developed into using a ChurchOnline platform which enabled greater engagement to anyone who was viewing with a chat facility and prayer request facility. A zoom coffee session was also developed as a space for people to chat, connect and engage. This morphed into a monthly Saturday morning Zoom prayer meeting. Mid-week activities : Events for children and families: Building Bonds with Bumps and Babies, providing friendship and support for expectant and new mums. This was able to operate during some phases of the pandemic under the ‘support group’ exception; Tots and Tinies, a weekly parent and toddler group during term time for local parents with pre-school children to meet together and for their children to play and undertake activities such as craft and singing. During the pandemic a scaled down small support group comprising of families who previously attended this group was formed under the ‘support group’ exception; Midweek Mash-Up, a weekly after school club for primary

aged children; a Parenting Courses for parents and carers looking at parenting themes. Events for seniors: Prior to the pandemic this included a weekly Ladies meeting with refreshments and a speaker or activity, and occasional outings; a monthly meal and speaker and Christian reflection at ‘Mind, Body, and Soul’. During the pandemic a small number of garden based BBQs were held when this was allowed and regular deliveries of free boxes of goodies and activities, cards and craft items were given out to seniors. Regular contact was maintained via phone and visiting doorsteps to ensure isolation and loneliness was addressed. Events for youth: Weekly term time youth group called ‘Elevate’ on a Wednesday evening for younger teens which was held in person when permissible and via zoom when not. Elevate also met on a Sunday morning at the 10.30am service and during 2021 this was a mixture of in-person gathering and zoom meetings. On a Sunday evening the older youth group ‘Amplify’ had its gatherings, either in-person or via zoom and this was supplemented by mid-week small group meetings and events where possible. Community activities: Throughout the whole year we were able to operate a free community service called ‘Parish Nursing’ under the national Parish Nursing Ministries UK. The Parish Nurse service is led by our two registered Parish Nurses (one specialising in youth) and they had a team of around 20 supervised volunteers. Examples of work by the team included helping people navigate the Covid-19 pandemic, health assessments and advice, helping with appointments and understanding medical issues, advocacy and befriending, carer support, someone to listen, garden clearance, minor DIY, assistance in attending appointments or filling in

forms, support during mental health difficulties or after hospital stays or bereavement. We also sourced and supplied goods to those in need. The church also provided pastoral care to those in need, enabled prayer sessions at the church building, via zoom and in people’s homes, and supported around 25 home groups (known as Partnership Groups) meeting in person or via zoom across Worthing. These groups were to enable people to learn together about following Jesus and provide support to each other. This was extremely valuable during the pandemic as it provided a framework for care. Use of the building by the local community: The church building is owned by the church but had been shared during the week with the West Sussex County Council to run the Maybridge Children and Family Centre. This provided activities and support to hundreds of local families. Since the start of the pandemic the Children and Family Centre stopped running services on-site, and instead delivered them directly to the community. However, after a Council led consultation, these services have now ceased. When restrictions were eased during the latter part of the year, the Children and Family Centre didn’t reopen. When free, and in times when pandemic restrictions allowed, the church building has been hired by the local community. In addition the church building was used to hold rites of passage ceremonies such as baby dedications, weddings, funerals and thanksgiving services. Other events and activities: Social gatherings, learning opportunities and community events organised or facilitated by the church included (either in person prior to the

pandemic restrictions or online at
other times):
-
Events to explore, discover and
celebrate the main Christian
festivals
-
‘Alpha’ course for those
exploring life, Christianity and
faith
-
Invitational social events and
fundraisers activities for other
charities and for the work of the
church
The church website continued to
provide information to the public and
church users about the activities of
the church, our role in the community,
information the Christian faith and
explanations about how to be involved
in church life. The church had over
700 followers on its Facebook page
and over 100 Instagram followers and
over 250 subscribers to its YouTube
Channel.
A magazine called M is published
twice a year by the church and is
distributed free of charge to around
800 homes in the neighbourhood.
A range of courses and other
opportunities for those wanting to
develop their understanding of the
Christian faith and deal with issues
from their past or present that may be
holding them back were postponed
during 2021 due to the pandemic.
However it is hoped that in 2022 we
can once again run courses like
Christians Against Poverty Life Skills
Course, a course called ‘Formation’
and a training programme for
leadership.
Further involvement in the
community and beyond:
From August 2020 we have taken on
the Boxes of Hope project for this part
of Worthing that was developed by
Transforming Lives for Good. Despite
the pandemic this was continued in
2021 and changed to Bags of Hope.
We mobilised volunteers from within
and outside the church to make
deliveries of free boxes of food,
household items, games and recipes
for local families in immediate need
during school holidays in our
community. Some were self-referred
or referred by friends, others were
referred by partner agencies or local
service providers. Voluntary donations
were provided, in food or funds so that
it was free at the point of need.
Maybridge Community Church,
worked with other local churches,
supported three refugee families
through the separate charity called
‘Worthing For Refugees’.
There was a Children and Family
Centre that used to operate from the
church building, run by West Sussex
County Council, providing a range of
activities, information and support to
local families, especially who have pre-
school aged children. However, after a
Council led consultation, this has
ceased. It is expected that many of the
activities, information and support will
now be provided by the church.
Pastoral support provided for those in
the community in need or seeking the
care and support of a minister or
church, and a Care Fund provided
financial support to those in need in
the church and beyond.
Maybridge Community Church
donated funds to a number of local
groups that benefit the local
community.
Global mission support was provided
to six specific charities and projects
around the world:
-
Tearfund (global Christian relief
and development charity)
-
Open Doors (Christian charity
supporting the persecuted
church)
-
Pursuit International (Christian
charity working with young
adults in Kolkata, India)
-
AWM-Pioneers (Christian
charity providing support in
Arab nations)
-
Amplifying Voices (global
charityequippingcommunities
with media tools, to get people
talking, listening, and taking
action, to improve local health,
well-being and resilience).
-
Emmanuel Ministries Calcutta
(relief and development charity
working in Kolkata’s slums,
provision of education, drug
rehabilitation, community care
and church ministry) in Kolkata,
India.
-
In addition the Church
responded to disaster appeals
and supported Home for Good,
a charity enabling fostering and
adoption in the UK.
Summary:
This programme of teaching,
facilitation of activities, provision of
resources and enabling of people to
respond to the challenges and
opportunities of the Christian faith has
been the main ways Maybridge
Community Church fulfilled the
objects and purpose statement of the
charity in a way that is of benefit to
the public.
Statement confirming
whether the trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit		 Para 1.18 Throughout 2021, including during the
pandemic period, Maybridge
Community Church undertook a
range of activities and events in order
to fulfil its objects and see the
achievement of its purpose statement.
The priorities and programme of the
church for the year are drawn up by
the leadership team and agreed,
monitored and evaluated by Elders
and Trustees. Changes brought by the
pandemic were also considered and
approved through these leadership
groups. In agreeing the priorities and
programme of the church for the year,
Trustees paid due regard to the Public
Benefit guidance issued by the Charity
Commission, in particular the specific
guidance on charities and the
advancement of religion.

Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Para 1.20 The work of the church, as described
above, furthered the Christian religion
through the provision of a wide range
of gatherings (onsite and online),
events and community opportunities
for people to explore, learn, grow and
live out the Christian faith as part of a
local community. The church was well
attended, both onsite and online,
provided for all ages and stages of
faith (or those with none), continued
to develop new initiatives and respond
to opportunities, and undertook a
range of community projects and
programmes. Apart from the
beginning of the year, during the
pandemic, the church building was
used generally 7 days a week,
including most evenings, for
charitable purposes.
In the autumn of 2020 a part-time
creative and digital media co-
ordinator was appointed to lead on
our digital church programme during
the pandemic. This role has continued
during2021,but now includes
building maintenance coordinator, building maintenance coordinator,
strategy development, coordinating
Sunday content, organising
volunteers, running the Alpha
programme, etc. It is unclear how long
the church should provide its content
online and via social media now that
onsite services have resumed.
In August 2021 the Operations
Director resigned. A replacement was
advertised and following a
recruitment process a new Operations
Director was appointed. They started
officially in January 2022.
In 2021 specific achievements to
highlight include:
Maintaining digital church
every week, including specific
material for kids and youth,
during the pandemic and
continuing them as many
continued to self-isolate after
onsite events resumed.
Developing our social media
content on Facebook,
Instagram and YouTube.
Maintaining direct contact with
so many during the pandemic,
especially seniors.
Running Alpha courses online,
rather than onsite due to the
pandemic.
Developing the Boxes of Hope
into the Bags of Hope
programme which provided
meals to hundreds of families
during school holidays.
Publishing and distributing our
community magazine (‘M’) free
to around 800 homes in the
local area.
Participating in two nationally
led ‘Lead Academy’
development programmes for
churches.
Appointing a new Elder.

MAYBRIDGE COMMUNITY CHURCH

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2021

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Incoming Resources with related expenditure

Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the incoming resource and related expenditure are reported gross in the SOFA.

Grants, Donations and Legacies

Grants, Donations and Legacies are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.

Tax reclaims on Donations and Gifts

Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the SOFA during the same period as the gift to which they relate.

Donated Services and Facilities

These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material. The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received.

Investment Income

This is included in the accounts when receivable. Interest earned on surplus funds is allocated, proportionately, to the relevant funds.

Expenditure and liabilities

Liability recognition

Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources.

Governance Costs

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. However, no charge is made for trustees meetings and much of the church 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.

Grants payable

The church makes grants and donations to other organisations whose charitable objects complement its work. These are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been made and there are no conditions to be met relating to a grant which remain in control of the church.

Changes in Accounting policies and previous accounts

There have been no changes to the accounting policies (variation rules and methods of accounting) since last year, with reporting now prepared to SORP 2015 (FRS 102) as from the previous reporting period.

MAYBRIDGE COMMUNITY CHURCH

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2021

Fixed Assets

i) The church and halls buildings are included in the accounts at the original construction cost. ii) The freehold land is subject to a pre-emption clause, contained in a Land Registry Transfer dated 18th June 1968 (modified by a Deed of Variation dated 31st January 2005 and a Deed of Release and Consent dated 12th November 2008), which provides that if, during a period of 80 years from 18th June 1968, the buildings shall cease to be used as a church, the Worthing Borough Council can purchase the land and buildings for £1,250 together with a sum representing the open market value of the buildings. Thus, the freehold land has been included in the accounts at £1,250. Title Absolute is held by The Official Custodian for Charities on behalf of Maybridge Community Church.

iii) Tangible fixed assets are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and cost at least £500. They are valued at cost.

iv) Tangible fixed assets, acquired out of restricted funds, are transferred to and held in unrestricted funds following the discharge of the relevant restriction.

Depreciation

Depreciation on buildings, furniture & fittings, and computers & equipment is calculated to write off the cost on a straight-line basis over their expected useful life. Annual depreciation is calculated on new purchases in the year of purchase but no depreciation is calculated in the year of disposal. The rates for depreciation are shown below:

Buildings 2%
Furniture & Fittings 10%
Computers & Equipment 20%

Basis of preparation

The financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis convention (as modified to include the revaluation of investments) in accordance with the Charities Act 2011, "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" (SORP 2015), applicable accounting standards and the Companies Act 2006. The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.

The Charity has claimed exemptions available in Section 1a of FRS 102 not to prepare a cash flow statement since it is a small charity.

10. 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.

11. 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 church's size and the level of financial commitments held. The trustees aim to ensure the church 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.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS

Report to the trustees / members of Maybridge Community Church on the accounts for the year ended 31st December 2021 set out on pages 3 to 11.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees are satisfied that the audit requirement of section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply, and that there is no requirement in the governing documents or constitution of the Charity for the conducting of an audit. As a consequence the trustees have elected that the financial statements be subject to independent examination.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for an independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner's statement

I conducted my examination in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales in relation to the conducting of an independent examination, referred to above. An independent examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and of the accounting systems employed by the Charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning such matters. The purpose of the examination is to establish as far as possible that there have been no breaches of the Charities legislation and that the financial statements comply with the SORP, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit , and information supplied by the trustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements, and in particular, I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity, and my report is limited to the matters set out in the statement below.

I planned and performed my examination so as to satisfy myself that the objectives of the independent examination are achieved and before finalising the report I obtain written assurances from the trustees of all material matters.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

  1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:

  2. proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 130 of the Act); and

  3. accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act; or

  4. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
