EMMANUEL CHURCH LONDON
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021
The Trustees who are also the Directors have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts for the year to 31 August 2021.
Objectives and activities of the charity
The charity's aims are to advance the Christian faith in London and in other parts of the UK or the world as may be appropriate, and also to relieve sickness and financial hardship and to promote and preserve good health by the provision of funds, goods or services of any kind including through the provision of counselling and support.
The church is not a building, but a gathering of ordinary people of different ages and backgrounds, whose lives have been changed by Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The New Testament reveals the church as a diverse community of people, properly taught and cared for, who by loving and serving Jesus Christ, were also committed to love and care for each other and to bring a blessing to the area in which they lived. Emmanuel Church London, its trustees, elders and members, are committed to the development of those New Testament principles. It is not alone in this, it is one of many churches in the area, country and all over the world that is re-discovering the excitement of knowing Jesus Christ. The vision is to see the people of London come into this experience of knowing Jesus as their Lord, Saviour and friend.
Church activity
Sundays
The Sunday meetings of the church are designed to provide Christian worship, teaching and discipleship to those that have a Christian faith and to introduce those that do not to Christian life and community. These are open to all, free of charge and designed to be accessible to all nationalities, ethnicities and to those with or without a faith.
Since March 2020 the Church has focused on delivering On-line meetings and where restrictions allowed encourgaing Church Members to meet together to participate in this content. In August 2021 the Church started to gather again on a Sunday morning at the Odoen Cinema in Greenwich.
Outreach
The Lockdowns and restrictions which we have faced in the UK have made it difficult to run Alpha courses we have done previously but in early 2022 we have a course lined up to run in the Greenwich area.
Page 1
With lockdown and starting "on-line church" 2020/21 has allowed us to reach a widening audience with more people viewing and responding to the content than ever before. This widening contact with both the local community and wider is an exciting element. With Covid19 preventing face to face interaction we have not been able to baptise but have been able to do so since the end of the year in November 2021.
Small groups
One of the features of the early church that changed the Roman world was the impact of genuine, generous and supportive communities that were built as part of individual’s radical heart response to the teaching of Jesus. It is the desire of Emmanuel Church London to see similar communities of Christians outworking what it means to be Christian disciples together.
To this end the church runs both 'Connect groups' and some specialist mid week groups. The former are to bring together communities of Christians in groups of between 6 and 12 people on a weekly basis to serve in community and encourage teaching, worship and discipleship. We have continued to run these throughout A462020/21 with the focus being with groups meeting on line.
Children and Youth
Impacting the next generation is an important part of the work of the church, to bring a deep sense of value to those growing up in a modern Western city. Not just personal value and identity but also an awareness of the value of others, our relationships with our families, our communities, and those that we meet in ordinary life whether similar to us or different. The aim is to bring the conviction of the love of God to all and to be, as Jesus indicated, consistently and sacrificially "the light of the world".
During 2020/21 where Church has moved "On-Line" we have produced content for parents, carers and guardians to be able to use with their Children and helping them grow in their faith journey.
Emmanuel Youth caters for young people from school years 7 to year 13. The group now comprises of a mixed group with 20 - 25 in regular attendance; either in person or on-line as Covid-19 regulations permit.
Community/External Church Activity
Race and diversity
Race and Diversity has continued to be a focus on Emmanuel Church. We are committed to see Racial Diversity within our own local context and the wider UK Church. Ben Rowe (leader Elder at Emmanuel Church London) has joined with a number of other leaders within the UK to form a group focused championing this accross Churches in the UK and specifically the Newfrontiers church network which we are part of. This group is called the Reconciled Church and is lead by Owen Hylton (Pastor of Beacon Church Brixton and author of Crossing the Divide)

Newday
Newday is a large youth event normally hosted at the Norfolk showground by a team from the New Frontiers family of churches. In 2021 the event continued to be effected by COVID19 and was delivered online, but as for the last few years, Emmanuel Church London has supported this event by providing leadership and involving a large team of leaders and volunteers to serve the event.
Local financial needs
We are committed to the support of the local community; continuing helping to fund the Greenwich foodbank, hosted by Christchurch Greenwich, with financial support (£600) to enable the distribution of food parcels that supply individuals or families with 3 days' worth of food to help in times of need. Throughout the year and again when Covid-19 lockdown created financial hardship for those in self-employment or marginal situations (£1,900).
During the year we started a partnership with TLG (Transforming Lives for Good) to help tackle holiday hunger and deliver food parcels to families in need in the Greenwich area. The families were nominated from 8 local schools in the Greenwich and Lewisham borough. We have continued to do this for every holiday and half term holiday since December 2020 and supported 30 families each time. Over the 12 months we have supported 53 families in total.
In December 2020 we added £50 supermarket vouchers into 31 foodbank parcels going out from the Greenwich Foodbank at the Forum and delivered gifts to 120 elderly people in care homes in Greenwich.
The trustees would also like to thank all those who have given of their time on a voluntary basis, particularly those who have negotiated time off from their paid work to further the community activities of the church. Volunteers are key to the delivery of our Sunday meetings and the increasing number of other church related activities.
Grants and giving to others
One of the values Emmanuel Church London wants to display is that of generosity. We recognise the value in the work done by others, whether in Christian mission or in social action and relief of poverty and hardship. The church and its members put this value into practice by giving money to others undertaking that work; especially by having special gift days (known as ‘offerings’) for this purpose.
During the year we have given towards two major offerings; those in need at Christmas 2020 of approximately £16,000 to be given to support others in need. During 2021 we set up a building fund to enable to Church to consider a longer term venue. 10% of this offering is to be set aside to support the needs of our local community in Greenwich and the apostolic work of Emmanuel Church Brighton, including Church plants in the major cities across Europe and overseas. Post year end £10,000 of this was given to Emmanuel Church Brighton. Details are shown in Note 9 to the accounts.

Plans for the future
2020/21 was a year of transitioning the leadership of the Church and also establishing the best ways to communicate the gospel and "do Church" on line. This is something we expect to continue beyond any restrictions as we recognise this is useful first point for those looking into the Church. We expect there to be further outcomes in the future as God speaks and works amongst us.
We also believe it is now the time for the church to have a 'home' in terms of a longer term venue from which we can serve the local community and wider London. We are actively looking at property which would be right for this and working with the church members and supporters over vision and finance for these plans to become reality in 2021. As a result of this we have set up a building fund and asked the Church to partner with us either with one off gifts or pledging to give a set amount over the next 2 years (to March 2023). At the year end we have £42k in the building fund with a further £142k pledged over the next 2 years.
We look forward to reporting on the impact of these changes in the future.
In planning the activities the Directors have had regard to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.
Governance
The policy and operating decisions of the charity rest with the Directors who meet regularly to monitor the activities of the Company. New Directors are recruited and appointed by the church Elders, on recommendation by the existing Directors.
Financial Review
The charity's principle source of income comes from people committed to the church making regular monthly donations. This income is supplemented by further irregular giving and also the addition of gift aid claimed on appropriate gifts. We make Gift Aid claims on a monthly basis.
Emmanuel Church London is extremely grateful for this ongoing support, recognising the consistent and generous self-sacrifice from those with heavy rental or mortgage requirements. However, there is also recognition of those of all income levels remembering the emphasis of Jesus; that small amounts given by those with little count for more than financially larger support from those with greater resources.
The income for the year was in the region of £361,000, was a slight decrease on that of 2019/20; 2019/20 included the repayment from Power the Fight £12k. The generosity of its members and other supporters enabled expenditure for the year of just over £268,000.
The most significant areas of expenditure that were enabled in the year were:
A Grants which were decreased to £29,000; as part of the role of the church to finance projects that make a significant difference both in the London area but also in other parts of the world. These are detailed in Notes 3 and 9 to the accounts.
B Staffing which was decreased by £50,000 as Ben Lindsay moved to work full time for Power the Fight.
Page 4
The closing position for the year added to previously retained reserves with the general fund standing at approximately £137,000 and other unrestricted funds of £117,000 and £64,000 of restricted funds held for special purposes.
We, along with all others in the UK, are reviewing how the operation of the church is affected by Covid-19. The church is now meeting in person on Sunday mornings but also continuing to stream the content via on-line media. We have taken a hybrid approach to community groups for teaching, support and prayer, with some meeting in person, some on line and some a mixture of the two. We have also reviewed the income and expenditure and expect to use part of the Future Fund this year in supporting the work of the church in the community and will continue to monitor our financial position, but have assessed that our reserves are sufficient for at least the next 12 months. Should the income be impacted more than expected, further cost reductions can be made without substantially impacting the church’s ability to achieve its ministry in the community and wider.
Reserves Policy
The Directors' aim is to maintain a reserve equivalent to 3 months of the fixed costs incurred by the charity, leading to a required reserve of approximately £60,000. The reserve is potentially supplemented by the funds in our 'Future Fund' of just under £117,000.
The general reserve is needed primarily to counter fluctuations in the financial contributions of church members which can at times be irregular, and to maintain sufficient funds to cover contingencies and, if required, short term budgetary deficits and at the year end stood at approximately £137,000.
Risk Statement
The Directors have reviewed the risks to which a small charity operating with few employees is exposed. Appropriate procedures are in place to identify, monitor and review these risks on a regular basis.
Page 5
Directors' Responsibilities
The trustees, who are also the directors of Emmanuel Church London for the purpose of company law, 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).
Charity law requires us as Directors to prepare financial statements for each accounting year which give a true and fair view of the state of the charity and of its income and expenditure for the year.

-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.

We also have a responsibility to safeguard the assets of the charity and to take reasonable steps to prevent fraud or any other irregularities.

1 Accounting Policies
Emmanuel Church London is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is International House, 185 Tower Bridge Road, London SE1 2UF.
The accounts have been prepared under the historic cost convention, in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: 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) (effective 1 January 2019); and with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). The following are the accounting policies which have been applied in dealing with material items:-
The accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis, as there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue. Based on the adequacy of the charity’s reserves as at the balance sheet date, along with their knowledge of the charity’s ability to meet bills, payments and other liabilities as they fall due, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the charity has sufficient resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. This assessment is undertaken in the light of the recent developments arising from Covid-19, as the charity does not expect significant reductions in donated income and is immediately able to reduce outgoings on venue costs amounting to an estimated £60,000 per year. Should the income be impacted more than expected further cost reductions can be made without substantially impacting the church’s ability to achieve its ministry in the community and wider.
a) Income:
Donated income and grants receivable are taken into account when received by the charity. Income received in circumstances where a claim for repayment of tax has been or will be made to HM Revenue & Customs is grossed up for the tax recoverable. Any amount of tax reclaimed from HM Revenue & Customs but not yet received is shown within the charity's debtors. Investment income is taken into account when receivable.
The charity has relied significantly upon volunteers in carrying out its activities during the year. In accordance with paragraph 6.18 of the SORP, the role of volunteers has not been recognised as income from donated services in the accounts.
b) Expenditure:
Expenditure, including irrecoverable VAT, is accounted for on an accruals basis when incurred by the charity regardless of when payment is made. Grants payable are taken into account at the earlier of when they are paid or become constructive obligations.
c) Funds:
Unrestricted funds are donations and other income received or generated for the objects of the charity without specified purpose and are available for purposes as directed by the trustees. Restricted funds are amounts received where the donor has specified the purpose for which it should be used.
d) Fixed assets and depreciation: Fixed assets acquired for use by the charity are capitalised and depreciated over their estimated useful life unless they cost less than £2,000 when they are written off on purchase.
Depreciation periods are as follows:
Equipment Between 3 and 7 years
e) Pension costs:
The company operates a defined contribution scheme for certain of its employees. Pension premiums are charged as they fall due for payment.
f) Taxation
The company is a registered charity and is exempt from taxation under the Income & Corporation Taxes Acts.
g) Cashflow statement
The company has taken advantage of the exemption provided by the FRS 102 SORP and has not prepared a Cash Flow Statement for the year.

The 'Mission support' grants were to support the work of Emmanuel Church Brighton in church planting in Europe and Canada. The 'social action grants' represent gifts to individuals for emergency support during the COVID-19 Pandemic. In 2020 a monetary grant of £2,694 to Power the Fight (registered charity 1181143) and in addition to the monetary grant elements of the time of Ben Lindsay, one of the staff of Emmanuel Church London to Power the Fight to enable it to commence its work effectively, with a value of approximately £28,000 in 2020. During 2021 Ben Lindsay became a Full Time Employee of Power the Fight and they had sufficient resources to support him so this support didn't continue.
