## **Trustees’ Annual Report for the period** **From 1[st] January 2021 Period start date To 31[st] December 2021 Period end date** **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| |-

**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

charity in a way that is of benefit to
the public.| |---|---|---| |Statement confirming

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. 11 ## **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: - examine the accounts under section 145 of the Act. - to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act, and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **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: - proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 130 of the Act); and - accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act; or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
