Haddon Hall’s Vision is that we want to see lives changed by Jesus' Power and Love, and our Mission is to be: - Building communities of people who are learning to be every day followers of Jesus. - Catching God's passion for our local area and beyond. ## **Review of the charity's main activities and achievements** To further the above objects and vision, the charity's main activities and achievements were as follows: We moved back into the church building from September 2021 after having completed the necessary risk assessment. The structure for running the church remained largely the same as last year with teams meeting either in person or online covering the following areas: Life groups, Buildings, Gatherings, Eco church, Tower Tots, Children, Youth, Hospitality and Worship. The Leadership Team (LT) continued to meet fortnightly. We had four Members’ meetings discussing a range of topics and these meetings were either online or in person. Themes for Gatherings included: Keeping in Step with the Spirit, the Character of God and Fruitfulness on the Frontline. We also used Advent and Lent booklets and followed the 24/7 Prayer Course. In September, the young people went on a residential weekend away. The youth were also involved with a new project, R1, where youth from a variety of local churches met together regularly at Salmon Youth centre for worship, food and fellowship. One of our young adults was accepted for a one-year internship with London Baptists to work with a church in north London. During the year, we made contact with a local construction company who agreed to build a planter down the left hand side of the church which was being used as a dumping ground for litter. They provided all the labour and materials free of charge. A number of local people have commented on what a difference it has made. We also applied for a grant from Southwark Council’s “Cleaner, Greener, Safer” fund to put a “pocket park” on the right hand side of the church, which was also being used to dump material. The application was successful and we were awarded £20,000, which the Council will contribute directly towards the work when it’s completed in 2023. Work on the church building included: refurbishment of the church flat bathroom, repainting and recarpeting the prayer room and reconfiguring and re-carpeting the baptistry. Our annual Gift Day raised £6817.50 (including Gift Aid) and the money was distributed to various local, national and international charities. During Easter 2021 we had a team of 14 young people from Youth With A Mission (YWAM) come to the church for two weeks to help with Easter Gatherings and various outreach events. We had a number of new visitors to our Good Friday and Easter Sunday Gatherings. On Sunday 8 May 2022, the Ministers were formally inducted into their role by a representative from London Baptists. Page 2 Financially, we were still receiving fewer bookings to hire the church building pre COVID. However, our reserves were in a very healthy state and we were able to carry on with all the work we wanted to do. In planning the activities the Trustees have applied the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission. ## **Financial review** During the year income increased by £34,000, to £126,600, and expenditure increased by £31,400, to £152,300. As a result the cash held by the charity decreased by £25,600, to £83,050, of which £81,150 is unrestricted and can be used for any charitable purpose. ## **Reserves policy** The trustees have determined that the charity should aim to hold unrestricted cash of no less than £60,000 (which equates to about six months' of unrestricted expenditure) so that the charity could continue to operate should income and / or expenditure vary adversely. At the year end, the charity held unrestricted cash of £81,150 and the charity is complying with its reserves policy. ## **Governance** Responsibility for setting policy and for making operating decisions rest with the trustees who meet to monitor the activities of the charity. Responsibility for the day to day operation of the charity has been delegated to the Leadership Team who meet regularly to review the strategy, activities and finances of the church, and report annually to the membership of the church. New trustees are proposed by the existing trustees, and then appointment agreed by the members of the church by a two-thirds majority vote. ## **Responsibilities of trustees** Charity law requires us as Trustees to prepare financial statements for each accounting year which record the receipts and payments of the charity for the year. We are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable us to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. We also have a responsibility to safeguard the assets of the charity and to take reasonable steps to prevent fraud or any other irregularities. ## **Approval** This report was approved by the trustees and signed on their behalf by: Philip Metcalf Date: 23 January 2023 Page 3 ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT** ## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF** ## **HADDON HALL BAPTIST CHURCH** I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Haddon Hall Baptist Church ('the charity') for the year ended 31 August 2022 on pages 5 to 8 following. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. ## **Independent examiner’s statement** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 1. accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with the accounting records. I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes.
