REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 December 2021
The Trustees present their report with the financial statements for the charity for the year ended 31st December 2021. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1st January 2015).
OBJECTIVE AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and Aims
The Church's continuing objective is to bring the Christian message to people, to serve the local community especially the vulnerable, the displaced and the marginalised, and to benefit the public. Its central location serving a wide range of activities within it, means that many people have access to the building, which we recognise as an opportunity to further these aims.
Public Benefit
The Trustees have complied with the duty as per Section 17 of the 2011 Charities Act to have due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission on public benefit and consider that the objectives and aims of the charity described above, enable it to meet its obligations to the Charity Commission and to benefit the public.
Internal Organisation
During 2021 members were the Minister, three serving Elders and two Trustees appointed by Church Meeting (dates and changes as noted above): Stephen Fellingham (Local Church Leader as Chairman until 1 May), Mrs Judith Davies (Church Secretary until September), Miss Joyce Hodgkinson (Trustee Secretary), Mrs Ruth Howard (Trustee Secretary in succession to Miss Hodgkinson and appointed Church Secretary on 24 October), Mrs Eve Johnson and Michael Toplis. Ms Julia Isaacson and Russell Heath, Elders, also attended meetings, together with Finance Officer/ Administrator, Mrs Diana Tutt. Taking advantage of the Charity Commission's dispensation that meetings during the continuing Covid 19 pandemic could take place using audio visual technology, six meetings were held by Zoom and three in person.
For part of the duration of this report, the church continued in ministerial vacancy but fortunately there were two qualified lay preachers: Stephen Fellingham, BD, Local Church Leader and Co-ordinator of the 5000 Project (inactive during the pandemic) and Mrs Judith Davies, MA, MA(Ed), Together they led the church and, with the welcome support of the Interim Moderator, Revd. Bryn Thomas, ensured the weekly Sunday worship of the church either by Zoom or in the Chapel when restrictions began to ease. Revd. Elaine Colechin was inducted on 1 May to serve as the Minister of Word and Sacraments in the Pastorate of St Mark's United Church Greenwich and Bromley United Reformed Church. We were pleased to congratulate Elaine on the news that she would be formally awarded her Ph.D. early in 2022.
Ongoing Activities during 2021 with pandemic restrictions in force until July
The church complex is large and centrally placed with eight rooms and two kitchens available for hire which are widely used in normal circumstances. Without the income derived from room lettings the church would not be able to continue and closure to most hirers for the greater part of 2021 has caused grave financial concern. However, the building remained open to essential groups (see below), complying with the hygiene and spacing requirements applying at the time. It was necessary to draw £20,000 from capital investment funds in January 2021 to cover ongoing costs. One of the Trustees, Mrs Ruth Howard, carries the portfolio for fundraising, and steered through an application to Southern Synod for support for a major refurbishment project, in particular replacement boilers. The boilers installed when the building opened in 1989 no longer worked and the church faced the autumn/winter season without heating. The balance of the costs of the work was met by part of a generous legacy from a former Trustee, Ms Lynsey Wardle. The Trustees wish to record their thanks to regular users of the building and the staff team for their patience and resilience in enduring the cold conditions. However, several bookings were lost during the autumn and winter. The Administrator, a qualified Accountant, prepares our accounts for Independent Examination and normally works part time four days per week, also overseeing the day-to-day running of the building. The Bookings Officer normally works three days per week and there are two caretakers. During 2021, staff continued to be furloughed as necessary until the scheme ended in September. During the year an interim payment of £35,000 was received from our insurers under the business interruption section of the policy. Final settlement of the whole claim is expected in 2022.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 December 2021
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities
In normal circumstances our Church Outreach Programme comprises:
a) The 5000 Project: the Project worked with people who are homeless or those in vulnerable housing situations and also those with learning difficulties, mental health issues or who have alcohol or drug addictions, as well as people who are living alone and simply want company. A three course freshly cooked lunch had previously been provided on Mondays, with a community café operating on Fridays. Regrettably, from the start of the first lockdown in March 2020 the Project had to be held in abeyance and continued to be so whilst plans are made to relaunch in a different format, more suited to changed needs.
b) Community Café: provided coffee on Tuesdays and Wednesdays but was also unable to operate throughout most of 2021.
c) Jigsaw Puzzle Club: had been meeting fortnightly on Wednesday mornings for over ten years. During 2021, the decision was made not to try to reopen, and the collection of puzzles was donated elsewhere.
d) Badminton Club (Tuesday evening, Wednesday morning): were able to return to regular sessions in August 2021, providing social support and opportunity for gentle exercise, essential for good mental and physical health.
Co-operation with essential services
a) Trussell Trust Food Bank : continued to operate from its dedicated accommodation in the building on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
b) Bromley Homeless: In May 2021, Bromley Homeless Shelter and the Latch Advice Service (assisting under 25s) combined as one charity. Advice services continued to be offered two days a week and additional support groups were set up. Referrals to the Food Bank were assisted by the organisations being co-located in Bromley URC. As in 2020, winter shelter was mainly provided in hotels but Bromley Homeless provided meals, arranging a mixture of delivery and collection services from the church premises, which was a safe haven in particularly difficult times for those without shelter or washing facilities.
c) Bromley GP Alliance: through the Cator Medical Practice provided surgeries and vaccination clinics for homeless people not registered with a GP. Clients could also access other medical services, including mental health referrals.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31 December 2021
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The year-end figures show a healthy surplus of £132,512 in unrestricted funds and £1,808 in restricted funds, giving a total surplus at the end of 2021 of £134,320 compared to a deficit of £39,519 at the end of 2020. Cash balances at the end of 2021 are strong with £165,700 in unrestricted funds and £21,109 in restricted funds. Total cash balances at the end of the year were £186,809. However, this is a result of the timing of the year-end following the legacy and receipt of the insurance claim. Analysis of quarterly balances demonstrates that income and expenditure were not at the desired break-even point.
The Church's financial position and reserves policy is reviewed regularly by the Trustees. Predicted income and expenditure for the year to 31 December 2022 is very difficult to estimate with lettings not yet returned to 2019 levels, although there are encouraging signs; this affects the ability to address further major maintenance work on other parts of heating and electrical systems and Velux windows. The trustees have sought advice on the most urgent projects and continue to explore fundraising and grant opportunities to cover what will be significant costs; sufficient reserves will remain in place should it be necessary to wind up for any reason. As at the year end the unrestricted fund totalled £274,018 (2020: £141,506) and the restricted fund totalled £21,109 (2020: £19,301).
THE FUTURE
This report reflects the position of the Church during the year 2021 which continued to be challenged by the Covid pandemic. Services continued as planned by Zoom and in person on Sundays from the end of May; the resumption of worship together, including the celebration of Holy Communion was welcomed by the small fellowship. New audio-visual equipment allowed services to be accessed by Zoom by members unable to attend through physical infirmity, extending fellowship even further. External groups did begin to return when it was possible and use of the building has continued to increase, especially after the completion of the heating works; we trust this is a good sign for the future. Where 2022 will take Bromley URC is far from clear but the Trustees and Elders, together with the new Minister, will continue to take a wide, positive attitude and intend to remain open in the service of God and of the community in central Bromley.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
Until the pandemic, Trustees were appointed on a three-year rotational basis by church members at their AGM. The forthcoming AGM needs to regularise appointments that were extended by default and changes to formalise the ability to hold remote meetings if required again in future and make a number of other changes in line with current practice and advice from the United Reformed Church. Appointments have complied with the requirement of the Charity Commission following their granting of charitable status obtained on 19 April 2010, registration number 1135594. Normally, Eldership of the church had combined trustee responsibility in their membership although non-elder trustees have also been appointed by the Church Meeting. The revised constitution follows the model which allows for this.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
for the year ended 31 December 2021
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepting Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
-
observe the methods and principles in the Church SORP
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and reports) Regulations 2008 and the provision of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
