2. Governance

The original governing document of the charity was adopted by the Area Meeting on 13 September 2007. The charity was registered on 26 February 2010 and its Registration Number is 1134529. The governing document was revised on 27 March 2019 and approved by the Charity Commission. It is published on our website.

The trustees, and the clerk of trustees are appointed from our membership by the Area Meeting at a Meeting for Worship for Business. They are required to read the guidance published by the Charity Commission and are encouraged to attend training courses provided by Woodbrooke Learning and Research (formally the Quaker Study Centre at Woodbrooke). As part of the induction new trustees are provided with a complete set of the previous year’s minutes.

The Trustees are:

Alan Asay Christopher Loveday Claire Farrier David Hickok Janet Cummins John Shinebourne Kimmett Edgar Peter Jones Tim Heath

The key officers in 2022 were:

Tim Heath – clerk Alan Asay – assistant clerk (membership) David Hickok – treasurer

4. Membership

In 2022 there were 151 people in membership and another 121 people attended regularly.

5. Objectives of the Charity

Under the terms of our governing document, the object of the charity is the furtherance of the general religious and charitable purposes of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in Britain, in the area of North West London Area Quaker Meeting and beyond.

6. Public Benefit

Consideration has been given by the Trustees to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and in particular to the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion and is evidenced in the Clerk’s Report.

7. Risk Assessments and Safeguarding

The Charity maintains a Risk Register and a Policy for Safeguarding Children, Young People and Vulnerable Adults, which are both reviewed annually with a substantive review every 3 years. There have been no serious incidents during the year. The Trustees traditionally meet twice a year, however during 2022 we met on 3 occasions because of the adoption of a new Safeguarding Policy and to consider the Pan London governance project.

8. Meeting Houses and Burial Ground

The charity meets at five locations in North West London: Finchley, Euston, Golders Green, Hampstead and Muswell Hill. Members may be buried or have their ashes scattered in the Quaker burial ground at Jordans in Buckinghamshire that we jointly own with London West Area Meeting.

9. Employees and Property

The charity has no employees and owns no buildings. Its Meeting Houses are vested in an independent charitable company The London Quakers Property Trust (LQPT).

10. Report of the Clerk

We held one wedding during the calendar year 2022. A Quaker wedding is one of the wonders of our Society where without priests each couple authorises their own marriage. And everyone who attends the wedding is an equal celebrant and marks their witness with a signature or sign. An infant’s foot might be pressed against a pad of ink and then against the certificate of marriage to challenge where true authority lies.

About 90 Friends attended the away-weekend at High Leigh in Hertfordshire. A Local Development Worker for the whole of London was appointed. A new policy on Safeguarding was adopted. We supported Friends who had been imprisoned for protesting the climate crisis. The term Overseer was laid down after four centuries of use because of its association with slavery. We sponsored one of our members to attend a research visit to Israel & Palestine organised by the Council for Christians and Jews. Presentations were given to convince us to become an antiracist society. We revisited our approach to dementia. Our campaign to change the law on Assisted Dying was relit. And our interest was kindled in a leading to make Ecocide an international crime under the Treaty of Rome.

Our own governance was reviewed with proposed changes to the articles of association of the London Quaker Property Trust that holds the ownership of our meeting houses in trust. This was put temporarily on hold while the proposals to create a single area Meeting for the whole of London leapt forward. We took part in discussions to create a memorandum of understanding across all the Area Meetings in Britain in order to share best practice among Quakers and to avoid the reputational damage of a meeting going rogue. We agreed to hold our own Area Meeting gatherings on a Sunday afternoon to avoid the winter evenings and to enable more people to attend especially children. Our website now has a forum for discussion of important issues.

Finchley, one of our 5 local meetings transformed their litter picking initiative into art and their meeting house is now adorned with ceramic casts of discarded bottles and cups.

We continue to walk cheerfully over the world, picking up litter, and answering that of God in everyone.

Tim Heath

11. Report of the Treasurer

North West London Area Quaker Meeting continues to enjoy a solid financial position. After reviewing the consolidated 2022 annual financial statements and expected cash-flows from recurring donations, I can also confirm that North West London Area Quaker Meeting as a whole is a going concern and has adequate reserves.

Net consolidated assets (AM and LM) at year-end dropped from £247,388 in 2021 to £225,647 in 2022, largely due to a drop of £17,734 in the market value of our investments as a result of the

3

invasion of Ukraine and other economic developments and the net cost of the biannual High Leigh Conference.

Total consolidated income in 2022 was £85,008 down from £88,112 in 2021.

Total consolidated expenditures in 2021 were £81,540 versus £89,015 in 2022. The increase was in part attributable to resumption of the biannual High Leigh Conference which amounted to £14,117. There was a significant decrease in contributions to Britain Yearly Meeting from £31,500 in 2021 to £16,000 in 2022 due in part to the late transfer of contributions from LMs to AM - these sums will appear in next year's accounts. Increased expenditure also reflected the hiring of a children’s coordinator by Friends House LM.

Because our meeting houses were closed for much of 2020, net rentals paid to LQPT plummeted from over £60,000 in 2019 to a negative figure in 2020, so that LQPT actually subsidised our meeting house maintenance cost by roughly £5,000 in 2020. As our meeting houses gradually reopened in 2021 we returned to being a net contributor with £13,353 paid to LQPT. During 2022 the underlying health of our net contributions to LQPT continued to recover though this has yet to be fully reflected in the accounts.

2022 Sole Accounts

The North West London Area Quaker Meeting Sole Accounts detail the money received and spent by Area Meeting (as opposed to Local Meetings) during 2021 and 2022 and show the financial positions at year-end 2021 and 2022. The Sole Accounts cover the Area Meeting’s General Fund, which consists primarily of funds transferred by Local Meetings, and the Area Meeting’s Designated and Restricted Funds. The Sole Accounts also show payments made by Local Meetings to Area Meeting and passed on to LQPT.

The General Fund is used to cover Area Meeting expenses. The Area Meeting’s Designated Inreach/Outreach Fund is primarily devoted to Inreach/Outreach. There was only one Restricted Fund account at year-end 2021 which contained third-party grants - the Quaker Quest (Euston) account.

The AM General Fund

The AM General Fund received £36,524 from Local Meetings in 2021 and £39,115 in 2022. Quota sent by Area Meeting to LQPT was £30,838 in 2022.

AM General Fund expenses in 2022 included:

£86 in bank charges;

£1,050 for account examiner’s fees;

£365 for conferences and courses;

£3,102 for other miscellaneous expenses (primarily bookkeeping and software fees) ; and

£400 was paid to London Quakers and £900 to Jordans Burial Ground and we donated £1,500 to Citizens UK for refugee support.

At year-end 2022 the AM General Fund contained £10,498, up from £8417 in 2021.

Designated Funds – Inreach/Outreach

The Inreach/Outreach fund was established in 2007 and has been funded with money received from the release of centuries old endowment funds whose purpose had become outdated, the sale of a share in the old Jordan’s guest house and legacies.

The Inreach/Outreach fund is earmarked for spiritual development as well as for inreach and outreach by our Local Meetings or the Area Meeting. It was agreed that starting in 2016 participation in young people’s events and representation of the AM at Quaker conferences will be funded from the Inreach/Outreach fund.

In 2022, the Inreach/Outreach Fund had investment income of £1,520, income from High Leigh participant fees of £7,707 and received £972 in High Leigh bursary contributions by Local Meetings. At year-end its investments were valued at £59,375 compared to £77,366 in 2021 due to a general drop in capital markets,

In 2022 the Inreach/Outreach Fund spent £14,117 on the High Leigh conference and £509 for other activities, primarily for children.

The fund balance at year-end 2022 was £59,441 and £77,432 at year-end 2021.

The Area Meeting has the discretion to undesignate the Inreach/Outreach Fund or to designate it for other purposes.

Restricted Funds

Quaker Quest (Euston) only operated online during most of 2021 and 2022 and had no income and minimal bank charge and website expenses. At year-end 2022 the QQE account held £2,477 compared to £2,824 in 2021. Quaker Quest (Euston) was laid down in 2023.

Golders Green has one restricted fund: the Loftus Hare fund to be used to support the children of Golders Green. The fund is reported in the consolidated AM accounts.

2022 Consolidated Accounts

The consolidated accounts bring together the AM Sole Accounts (General Fund, the Designated Fund for Inreach/Outreach and the Restricted Funds) with the individual accounts from each of the Local Meetings. Each Local Meeting approves its own budgets and accounts at Meetings for Worship for Business. Funds held by Local Meetings are shown as Designated Funds in the AM Consolidated Accounts until actually transferred to Area Meeting since until that time the funds held by a particular meeting are designated for use by that meeting.

Local Meetings

Details of the income and expenditure of the Local Meetings are set forth in Note 2 to the AM Consolidated Accounts.

Total Local Meeting receipts in 2022, including gift aid and legacies, were £74,081. Additional gift aid on 2022 donations to Hampstead LM of roughly £4000 will be shown in the 2023 accounts so that fully accrued 2022 receipts would be roughly £78,000. In 2021 total receipts were £84,721. There was a drop of £5,906 in donations from 2021 to 2022.

Total consolidated (AM and LM) receipts were £87,201 in 2021 and £84,515 in 2022. The AM receipts were boosted by participant fees paid for the biannual High Leigh Conference,

5

Total consolidated (AM and LM) expenses before donations in 2021 were £45,576 and £66,513 in 2022, the difference largely due to High Leigh in 2022. The largest single expense in both years was the Quota paid to LQPT, £30,208 in 2021 and £30,838 in 2022. LM conferences and courses expense amounted to £545 in 2022. LM library expense was £403 and bank charges £162. LM meeting running and various other expenses totalled £13,968, up significantly from £4753 in 2021 as Friends House LM hired a children’s coordinator.

Total 2022 LM donations to other Quaker charities were £1,550 and £1,300 in 2021.

Local Meetings had total funds (excluding the £22,277 Golders Green Restricted Loftus Hare Fund and the £7,760 Golders Green Designated Elisabeth Brown Fund) at year-end 2021 of £127,668 and of £133,971 in 2022. During the year the Elizabeth Brown Fund at Golders Green Meeting was undesignated and all the funds amounting to £7,760 were transferred to the General Purposes Fund of Golders Green.

After taking into account debtors (roughly £15,721, mostly Gift Aid on 2021 donations not yet claimed) and creditors (£20,217), total consolidated assets less liabilities at year-end 2021 amounted to £247,388, of which £150,307 was held in cash and £101,577 in investments. In 2022 total consolidated assets amounted to £225,647 with £12,815 in debtors, £31,546 in creditors, £160,535 in cash and £83,843 in investments.

Jordan’s Burial Ground

Our Area Meeting inherited a 50% ownership interest in Jordan’s Burial Ground at Jordans Buckinghamshire. A 2018 valuation estimated a £17,000 market value for this land.

The Burial Ground is managed by a committee composed of representatives of three Area Meetings (the owners North West London AM and West London AM and the local Chilterns AM which is also allowed to use it). Each year each AM contributes roughly one third of any net operating loss as projected and set by the Burial Ground Committee. The Jordans Burial Ground accounts are prepared by or on behalf of the committee and are examined by a separate examiner. We have received the accounts and examiner’s report for 2023, but have not ourselves reviewed any committee financial records.

The total contributions by all three AMs set for 2022 amounted to £2,700. Other donations and fees amounted to £1535, headstone reimbursements were £6,144 and dividends were £266, resulting in a total income of £10,645.

In 2022 upkeep was £3,170 and total expense with headstone and digging and other costs were £6,769. There was a loss on investments of £1,210. This resulted in a net loss of £504.

At year-end 2022 the Jordans Burial Ground operation had reserves of £11,506, including cash at CAF Bank of £1,827, units in COIF Charities Ethical Investment Fund valued at £8,529 and £1,150 in debtors. The use of these reserves is controlled by the joint Burial Ground committee. As these funds are not controlled by our Area Meeting they are not fully consolidated in our accounts

Accounting Policies

`

Basis of Accounting.

Income and expenditure. Accruals and prepayments have been included in the income and expenditure where, in the opinion of the Trustees, the amounts are significant and their inclusion will give greater clarity to the financial statements.

Investments. Investments are valued at market value at the Balance Sheet date.

Funds. Unrestricted funds - referred to as the Area Meeting general fund - are available to spend at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the charitbale objectives of the charity.

Designated funds are set aside at the discretion of the trustees for specific purposes. They would otherwise form part of unrestricted funds. The only Area Meeting designated fund is the Inreach/Outreach fund.

Restricted funds are subject to specific restrictions imposed by the donor or by the nature of the appeal. The Area Meeting restricted funds are the Quaker Quest funds.

Endowment funds represent funds of the Area Meeting received as an endowment and the Area Meeting can only use the income generated from them.

Incoming resources. Donations and gifts are recognised when received by or on behalf of the meeting. Income tax recoverable on Gift Aid donations is recognised when the donation is received.

Grants and legacies are accounted for when the meeting is notified of its legal entitlement and the amount due is quantifiable.

Resources expended. Grants and donations are accounted for when paid or awarded if a binding obligation is created. Costs directly related to the work of the meeting are accounted for when payable.

The Area Meeting owns a 50 percent interest in Jordan's Burial Ground. A 2018 valuation estimated a £17,000 market value for this land. The Burial Ground is managed by a committee of representatives of three Area Meetings, and North West London Area Meeting does not control its operations. The committee has reported a net loss in 2018 of £60 on revenues of £8,464 including the contribution by NWLAM reported in the accounts and year-end assets of £12,411. We have not participated in the preparation or examination of the committee's accounts.
