NewDay Ministries Christian Centre Registered charity number: 1135233 Trustees' Report for the year ended 31 March 2024
The trustees present their report and financial statement for the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2024.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP): 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) issued on 16 July 2014 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
Principal activities
The Charity's principal activity during the year continued to be to promote the Christian religion and to provide places of worship.
Objectives and activities
The principal objectives of the Charity are:
-
provide religious and charitable services to church members; and
-
to undertake other charitable endeavours as determined by the trustees.
Our work usually includes:
-
providing regular public worship that is open to all;
-
providing a sacred space for personal prayer and contemplation;
-
conducting pastoral work including visiting the sick and the bereaved;
-
teaching Christianity through sermons, courses and small groups;
-
providing a youth club with a Christian ethos; and
-
promoting the whole mission of the church through activities for senior citizens, parents and toddlers and other special needs groups.
Public benefit
We have referred to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set. We exist to serve people in our community without discrimination. We strive to promote social welfare through the provision of facilities aimed at improving the social, physical and spiritual wellbeing of those in our local community.
Where possible, we serve the community in the areas of homelessness and annual food programmes. Volunteers from the Church work with Crisis at Christmas and also support feeding those that are hungry and in need at of shelter via the Local Authority feeding programmes.
The Charity provides a safe working environment for visitors, members, workers and volunteers and any serious incidences are reported in accordance with our safeguarding policy. There was no serious incidence during the year ended 31 March 2024.

NewDay Ministries Christian Centre Registered charity number: 1135233 Trustees' Report for the year ended 31 March 2024
Fundraising
The Charity raises funds from the public in the form of voluntary donations ("general offerings") from attendees of its Christian church services.
The Charity does not use the services of a professional fundraiser or commercial participator in the process of raising funds. Also, the Charity (or any person acting on its behalf) is not subject to any voluntary scheme for regulating fundraising, or voluntary standard for fundraising in respect of activities on behalf of the Charity.
The Charity (or any person acting on its behalf) has not received any complaints in regard to its fundraising activities.
Activities during the year
The Charity has continued the successful events of last year, by providing support to families who were affected by the aftermath of the 2019 COVID pandemic. Events such as breakfast seminars, family days and health awareness seminars are amongst the number of programmes that were popular with participants from the local community.
Financial review
Principal sources of funding
The largest contribution to the Charity is from voluntary general offerings given by those attending as well as from gift donations and the associated tax claims.
Financial review
The Charity achieved a surplus of £100,383 for the financial year. At 31 March 2024, the Charity held total funds of £556,050; £550,706 of which was cash at the bank and in hand. (The rest is the value of fixed assets, £8,211, less creditors of £31,495.) This, in all, is considered to be an appropriate level of funds to enable the Charity to pursue its objectives.
Reserves policy
The trustees have a forecast of the level of free reserves, (that is, those funds not tied up in fixed assets) that the Charity will require to sustain its day-to-day obligations. Whilst our actual free reserves may prove sufficient, it is the trustees’ view that it is prudent to maintain the forecasted level of reserves to allow for financial flexibility and stability in light of the Charity’s dependence on donations.
Investment policy
The trustees have adopted a strong, socially responsible investment policy for the reserves of the Charity. This policy, in tandem with the need to fulfil our statutory obligations, has the objective of investing in such a way that the principles of socially responsible investment are promoted. A further factor is the need to have ready access to our reserves, as long-term funding cannot be guaranteed, so for the current period, we have placed surplus funds in current accounts.
Risk management
The trustees actively review, on a regular basis, the major risks that the Charity faces in maintaining reserves at the levels stated above, in addition to an annual review of the controls over key financial systems carried out through an internal audit process.
3
NewDay Ministries Christian Centre Registered charity number: 1135233 Trustees' Report for the year ended 31 March 2024
Internal control risks are minimised by authorisation procedures for all financial transactions. Policies and procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety regulations and this being for staff, volunteers and visitors.
The trustees have also examined other operational and business risks which we face and confirm that they have taken steps to mitigate any significant risks.
Structure, governance and management
Governing document
The NewDay Ministries Christian Centre (NewDay) is an unincorporated charitable organisation formed on 18 March 2010 and registered as a charity on 25 March 2010. The charity is governed by a Declaration of Trust dated 18 March 2010 which is supplemented by a Book of Discipline which is used for certain day-to-day procedures and activities.
Organisational structure
The management of the charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Deed of Trust.
Volunteers
The Charity uses trained and experienced volunteers that support its activities in the area of Children education i.e. the Sunday School. Their contribution has helped the Charity to meet its aim in teaching and mentoring our children and young people.
We also use volunteers in the area of welfare advice. Making significant and relevant impact in the provision of housing homelessness and social welfare advice.
There was an average of 10 volunteers, excluding trustees, throughout the year who aided in the running of the Charity.
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
There must be at least three trustees. Apart from the first trustees, new trustees must be appointed by a resolution of a special meeting of the trustees duly called under the provisions of the Trust Deed.
The existing trustees seek to ensure that the needs of the charity are appropriately reflected through the diversity of the trustee body. To enhance the potential pool of trustees, the charity has, through selective advertising and networking with voluntary organizations active in the sector, sought to identify those who would be willing to become members of the charity and use their own experience to assist the charity.
There was 1 new or additional trustee recruited in the year to 31 March 2024.
Trustee induction and training
Many trustees are already familiar with the practical work of the Charity as they are also active members of the church as well as involved in other churches and organisations.
New trustees are encouraged to familiarise themselves with charity law, their responsibilities as trustees and with the Charity's rules and practices.

NewDay Ministries Christian Centre Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2024
1 Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP): 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) issued on 16 July 2014 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the Charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably.
Donated goods and services are recorded at their expected cost.
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative depreciation and any accumulative impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows: Plant and machinery at a rate of 10% or 33% of the net book value Motor vehicles at a rate of 25% of the net book value
Debtors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Loans and other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.
Creditors
Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from taxation under sections 521 to 536 of the Income Tax Act 2007 (ITA 2007).
Fund accounting: restricted and unrestricted funds
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the Charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
11
NewDay Ministries Christian Centre Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2024
Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.
Going concern
The accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Charity will be in operational existence twelve months from the date of approval of these accounts. The trustees are satisfied that this basis is appropriate.
There are no material uncertainties.
Provisions
Provisions (i.e. liabilities of uncertain timing or amount) are recognised when there is an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that economic benefit will be transferred to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated
Pensions
Contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed in the period to which they relate.
Government grants
The accrual model (FRS 102 24.5C-G) was applied in producing these accounts; therefore grants were recognised as either relating to revenue (over the period in which the Charity recognises the related costs for which the grant was intended to compensate) or relating to assets (over the expected useful life of the asset).
