REVIEW OFACTIVITIES I, ApriL 2021 to 31 March 2022. we are very grateful to God for leading us through this unusual period of history and the challenges we faced in the light of Covid 19 The longer we have been in the pandemic the more we are aware that God is with us, has gone before us, and is meeting all our needs to accomplish the vision he has given us. Here is some of what we achieved this year and the challenges that we met., WORSHIP We continued to deliver our Sunday service in person and online. We have been on a steep learning curve to adapt to new ways of delivering online and in covid safe environ- ments. We have added a new children's section to our 9.15am Sunday seniice which engages the whole church to worship in a child friendly manner Icomplele with actions of course!) Our worship teams continue to produce outstanding songs keeping us up to date and on the pulse with new songs Three new people have been added to our preaching team. We continue to provide a Messy Church experience monthly Isee KIDS section> We continue to deliver a KIDS and YOUTW Sunday service ministry (now in person) We have a flourishing Prayer Ministry team who provide prayer support at every service We have a stronger participation in our prayer evenings which are back to meeting in person once a month We are excited by the growth of new members: we are committed to meeting as two congregations and remaining one church. We are starting a new youth band to lead in worship and serve on our tech desk. We continue to provide online access to our services. "A highlight for me over the last year has been when I shared a prophetic message to the congregation one Sunday morning which atso challenged me and transfvm7ed my lifrlAs a resul¢ when I received my cancer diag- nosis I was singing andpmising the LORD and so fvll of thejoy of the LORD because He has shown me that He is MYSTRENGTH" °KnowlngJust how mny sltuations ourHeavenly Father has intervened In and being thankfvl for a team ofpeople WI￿ have stood in the gap, inter- ¢eding on behalf of those are fvcing CI￿llenge$ in lift" li

We now have 5 groups operating within this model. 2 of which are nearing the point of needing to multiply We sent three of our people on the Bonhoeffer course. x2 Leadership Team members and xi Staff member Discipleship is the major focus for us as a church in the short term. We need to re- discover the skill of maktng disciples. We are on our way to achieving this but we have some way to go, and we are excited about it! 12

DISCOVER. D ECLAR NEW MINISTRY! In an increasingly busy world our church must adapt and provide an accessible means to grow disciples We must learn God's Story if we are going to be influenced by il and we must learn the value of prayer and how to share each other's burdens and delights Our home groups have traditionally been a space for that and will continue to be that but for some people who don't have an evening but do have an hour - The Hour of Power works wonderfully The Hour of Power is an hour of bringing our story of thankfulness. struggles or stress. sharing them in close community and praying together. Then discovering God and being influenced by God's Story If this interests you and you would like toioin a group then please speak to Greg or Sara 01384 397287 "Learning that I was born into the kingdom of darkness and through Jesus Christ I have been born again into the Kingdom of Light has been the big- gest highlight of the last yearfor me and it has TRANSFORMED my life, Now I put on the 'armour of God, everyday andpmy for otherpeople and enjoy helping with the teas and coffees on a Sunday morning . 13

NEAR& FAR Mission and Community engagement WhiLe our mission and community engagement was challenged and many of our regular programs stopped running due to the pandemic, it was great to see the church rise to the occasion and seize the opportunity to serve our community once again.

We start the new year with only 9 active members and that is too few to maintain a patrol every week. Part of the problem is that the pandemic has reduced the number of people attending churches and this has meant that some people have had to take on more responsibilities on Sunday mornings and that has limited their availability to go out on patrol 21

FINANCE Review-how are we financing our charitable objectives, vision and mission? I Spending on 'charitable activities. bounced back in 21/22 following the suspension of many activities during the previous year due lo covid. doubling from £29.939 in 20/21 to £61.174 in 21/22. This not only reflects the continuation of a healthy income which saw a £25k increase compared lo 20/21. but also our ability to hire out our facilities again and return to activities that generate an income e.g our toddler groups, We also received a very kind donation of £8k from the closure of The Hope Centre in Halesowen which went towards our TLC and POM ministries, as well as a generous legacy donation of £3.5k. 'restricted' in use for 'propagating the gospel, as per the wishes of the donor. 2 Support costs significantly reduced in 21/22 releasing more funds to spend on our charitable objectives and refurbishment works on our buildings This was due to careful budgeting and the discontinuation of a paid Youlh Team Leader role resulling in a reduction of £39,200 in spend compared to 20/21. This drop has also happened against a back drop of increased utility bills as building use increased. And all whilst still delivering a healthy level of activity Praise Godl 'Enabling' costs now make up Less than s0/• of our expenditure lour Children's Team Leader salary has been coded as 'Next Gen for the purpose of this report) Support costs have been reducing year on year and are now at the lowest level they've been in the last 5 years Diligent governance by our Leadership Team and the generosity of those who have partnered wilh God and our vision has enabled Lhis to happen.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES OF

CHAWN HILL CHURCH ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2022 on pages 29 to 38 following, which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out on pages 31 to 32.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].

CHAWN HILL CHURCH

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1 Statutory Information

The charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee and is incorporated in the United Kingdom. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

2 Accounting Policies

These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention.

These financial statements have been prepared 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) ("the Charities SORP"), with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102"), with the Companies Act 2006 and with the Charities Act 2011. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as set out in FRS 102.

The principles adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.

a) Going concern

The trustees (who are the charitable company's directors for the purposes of company law) have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular the trustees have considered the charity's forecasts and projections and the possible implications should projected income and / or expenditure vary unexpectedly. The trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements. In making this assessment the trustees have considered how Covid-19 might affect projections.

b) Income

Income including investment income is recognised in the period in which the charity becomes entitled to receipt, the amount receivable can be measured with reasonable certainty, and receipt is probable. For the most part, income is generally recognised when it is received. Income is only deferred when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor has specified that the income is to be expended in a future period.

Income from donations and legacies includes:

Income from charitable activities represents income receivable from goods, services and facilities supplied in furtherance of the charity's charitable objects. It includes income from youth, children's and other events and courses as well as rent of the church premises.

Investment income represents income generated by the charity's assets and includes income from bank interest.

Other income comprises gains arising from the disposal of tangible fixed assets.

c) Expenditure

The charity makes grants to other institutions and individuals to further its charitable objectives. Grants payable are recognised as constructive obligations arise, which is generally when the charity expresses a commitment to the recipient that can be measured reliably and then only to the extent that any conditions associated with the grant are outside of the control of the charity.

Governance costs, which are included in expenditure on charitable activities but are identified separately in the notes to the accounts, includes costs associated with the independent examination of the financial statements, compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements and any other expenditure incurred on the strategic management of the charity.

d) Fund accounting

Page 31

CHAWN HILL CHURCH

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

2 Accounting Policies (continued)

e) Tangible fixed assets

Items purchased or donated for the charity's own use are capitalised when the cost of purchased items, or the fair value of donated items, is more than £1,000 and the item is expected to benefit the charity over more than one accounting period. Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis so as to write down the value of each asset to its estimated residual value (if any) over its expected useful economic life. To achieve this objective the following rates of depreciation are charged:

Freehold land Is not depreciated (because it is not consumed by use) Freehold buildings Over 50 years after taking account of the building's residual value Equipment Over 3 to 7 years

The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment in periods when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

The charity operates defined contribution pension schemes for its employees. Obligations for contributions to these schemes are recognised as an expense when the liability arises. The assets of these schemes are held separately from those of the charity in independently administered funds.

g) Taxation The company is a registered charity; it has taken advantage of the various reliefs from taxation available to charities and no tax is payable on the charity's income. h) Financial instruments The charity's financial assets and financial liabilities all qualify as basic financial instruments, as defined by FRS102. Creditors and debtors are measured at their expected settlement value (normally the amount of cash that the charity expects to pay or receive).

i) Exemption from preparing a cashflow statement

The charity has taken advantage of an exemption conferred by the Charities SORP and has not prepared a cash flow statement.

j) Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement ln preparing financial statements certain judgements, estimates and assumptions have to be made that affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The trustees consider the following to be significant:
