TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT
(INCORPORATING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2020
The trustees, who are the charity's directors for the purposes of company law, have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts for the year.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The charity ("the church") is a private company limited by guarantee. It was incorporated on 14 June 2010 (Company Registration No. 07282612) and is governed by its memorandum and articles of association. The charity registered with the Charity Commission on 9 September 2010.
Trustees
The trustees of the charity (who are also the charitable company's members) are responsible for the overall management of the charity. The trustees during the year and to the date of the approval of these accounts are shown on page 1. New trustees are appointed by a majority of existing trustees; they are inducted into the practical work of the charity when they are appointed and are kept informed about their duties and responsibilities as appropriate.
Risk assessment
The trustees annually assess the major risks facing the church and have processes in place to address these risks.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
When planning the church’s activities, the trustees, have considered the Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.
Trinity Church Islington was established as a church plant from St Helen’s Church, Bishopsgate, London and meets at St Mark’s Church, Myddelton Square, Clerkenwell, London where they have the use of the church building for Sunday services and other activities during the week. The aim in planting this church, and now in its development, is to be engaged in evangelism, discipleship and bible-centred mission arising from two loves: a love for the Lord Jesus Christ as revealed in the Bible, and a love for those who do not know him as Saviour and Lord.
The church is a non-parochial organisation with a diocesan number in the diocese of London and is full member of the deanery. The present senior minister, the Reverend Jeremy Hobson, was licensed in March 2012 as the minister-in-charge. In addition during the year the church appointed a new unordained Assistant Minister. The church also has a full-time women’s worker.
The church works alongside the existing parish church as a locally-based network church as referred to in the Church of England 2003 publication “Mission Shaped Church” subsequently endorsed by the General Synod of the Church of England.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2020
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES continued
Trinity Church Islington aims to enable ordinary people in the church to live out their Christian faith through:
-
the relief of need, hardship, physical or mental distress among any persons in the scope of the church’s
-
work.
-
the support of Christians who are persecuted by reason of their faith.
-
the support of Christians who are engaged full-time in the missionary work of proclaiming the Gospel
-
and in bringing others to believe in Jesus Christ and to live in accordance with his teaching.
Worship and Prayer
This year we have continued to gather at 4.30pm on Sundays with a growing group of young professionals and families, in order to pray, sing, and be taught from the Bible. We have been challenged from the book of Romans, both in adult teaching and (for the first time) in matching material written especially for young people. In November, we gathered for a whole-church teaching day on the book of Revelation. We have met regularly as a whole church for prayer, and held regular training events for leaders. Of two candidates selected for ordination training, one is attending theological college this year, and one will begin attending in September.
Bible Study groups are run on a Tuesday evening for members of the church to receive the faithful teaching of the Scriptures. During the year the church has run a book club for women, a men's discussion group, a week of prayer, a series of short talks on spiritual disciplines, and teaching over the Summer called 'Summerlink' examining the topic of Christian discipleship.
Pastoral Care and Outreach
The church runs, on a Tuesday morning, Story Corner in St Mark’s Church for parents, carers and their young children.
There has been further outreach with a series of invitation events run by small groups looking at Romans 8, several Christianity Explored courses, and events at Christmas and Easter aimed towards the outsider. For the first time, we hosted a 'Try out church Sunday', as well as several Sunday events called 'Ask London', where contemporary questions were addressed. The community choir continued to meet up until Christmas, and sang in the traditional carol service. Finally, we were able to host two events called 'London Lives', where figures from public life spoke about their Christian faith.
Church Plant
The congregation in Crouch End are now a fully self-supporting parish in their own right, and the Rev Adam Pymble has been appointed as the vicar. The two congregations in Crouch End have united, and are a growing witness in the centre of Crouch End.

Relationships with Trinity Trust Islington
The church works closely with Trinity Trust Islington (registered charity no. 1137906), which was established to help fund the church’s work. Two of the church’s trustees also serves as trustees for Trinity Trust Islington.
Details of the church’s transactions with Trinity Trust Islington are set out in note 13 ‘Transactions with related parties’ to the financial statements.
PLANS FOR THE FUTURE
Looking ahead to the 2020-21 year, our main aims remain unchanged – the faithful and prayerful proclamation of the gospel to those in the Angel area. In particular we aim to:
-
run Christianity Explored courses online to maximise participation
-
livestream our services
-
establish a regular podcast
FINANCIAL REVIEW
During the year income fell by £19,941 to £222,541, and expenditure increased by £26,958 to £237,809. As a result the charity has reported a deficit of £15,268 (2019: a surplus of £31,631) and the charity's net assets have decreased by that amount, to £38,671; this included unrestricted cash of £42,952 (2019: £42,370).
RESERVES POLICY
The trustees of the charity and Trinity Trust Islington have determined that their combined free reserves (which they define to be unrestricted cash) should be no less than £60,000, of which £40,000 should be held by the charity. The figure of £60,000 represents about three months’ of unrestricted expenditure for the charity and is held so that the charity could continue to operate should income and / or expenditure vary unexpectedly. The charity ended the year with free reserves of £42,952 and the charity is complying with its reserves policy.
COVID-19
In March 2020 the charity took steps (in line with government advice) to help contain the nationwide outbreak of Covid-19. This included the temporary suspension of all physical gatherings and the charity has had to curtail, or change, how it operates; the charity has been able to continue some of its activities using on-line media.
The charity is funded by grants from Trinity Trust Islington ('TTI') and this funding is not expected to reduce in the short term. The charity has received assurances that it will be given time to adjust its spending plans should it become apparent that TTI needs to reduce the funding it provides. The trustees continue to monitor income and expenditure and, if it become necessary, will take action to mitigate the impact of Covid19 on the charity's reserves.

TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2020
RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES UNDER COMPANY LAW
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material
departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the
charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Approval
This report, which has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies, was approved by the trustees on 16th November 2020 and signed on their behalf by:
Benjamin Fidler (trustee)

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’).

In carrying out my examination I have followed the 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 matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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
-
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).

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2020
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 note that the charity receives most of its income from Trinity Trust Islington and are satisfied that Trinity Trust Islington is both willing and able to continue to support the charity. The trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future and the going concern basis has been used in the preparation of these financial statements.
In making this assessment the trustees have considered the impact of Covid-19 and have concluded that its impact on net income will not be material.
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 recoverable gift aid, which is recognised when the related donation is received. Gift aid that has not been recovered by the balance sheet date is included as a debtor.
The charity relies on volunteers to carry out many of its activities. However, in accordance with the SORP, the value of these services has not been included in these financial statements as they cannot be reliably measured.
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 church retreats and other events and courses.
c) Expenditure
Expenditure, including irrecoverable VAT, is recognised when it is incurred or, if earlier, when a legal or constructive obligation for a payment arises provided that it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
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.
The charity capitalises expenditure on assets when that expenditure exceeds £2,500. To date the charity has not spent more than £2,500 on any one asset and no expenditure has been capitalised.
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.

2 Accounting Policies
-
d) Fund accounting
-
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are donations which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors; they include donations received from appeals for specific activities or projects.
-
e) Leased assets Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the charity are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
f) Pension scheme arrangements
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) 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.
i) Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement
- The trustees do not consider that there are any material sources of estimation or uncertainty at the balance sheet date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities in the next reporting period.

2019 £ 37,816 1,892 |
|---|---|---|
| 39,709 |
The average monthly number of employees during the year was 2.5 (2019: 2.5). Most of the charity's activities are carried out by volunteers.
No staff received salaries at a rate of more than £60,000 per annum.
The charity's key management comprise the trustees and the key staff named on the Charity Information page. Total employment benefits payable to key management for the year were as follows:
| N Richards (who is a trustee) | Employer Wages & pension salaries contributions 25,000 2,250 |
2020 £ 27,250 |
|---|---|---|
No employment benefits were paid to key management in the previous year.
N Richards was employed by the church as an assistant minister and received the above payments for serving in that capacity, not for serving as a trustee. The trustees note that it is not clear whether the governing document allows the charity to employ a trustee. Given the ambiguity, N Richards has resigned as a trustee whilst the trustees seek clarification.
Rev'd Jeremy Hobson (who is the incumbent) receives a stipend from the Diocese and so he is not an employee; some of the Anglican contribution paid to the Diocese is used to help meet the cost of this stipend.
In addition the charity incurred expenditure in respect of the customary provision of accommodation to clergy to help them better perform their duties. During the year the cost of this accommodation to the charity was £43,044 (2019: £42,696) for Rev'd Jeremy Hobson, and £30,600 (2019: £nil) for N Richards.
