ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH APRIL 2021
Bread of Life Ministries Bristol (BOLM) is an independent Pentecostal church and a registered charity in the UK (Registration Number 1139231). The director and trustees of the charity present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 April 2021. The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association and 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 (Charities SORP FRS 102, update Bulletin 1).
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a memorandum and articles of association, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
Recruitment and appointment of new trustees
Any new appointments are at the recommendation of the directors and trustees, but after consulting and obtaining approval from all trustees. No new trustees were appointed for the period under review.
Induction and training of new trustees
Trustees must demonstrate strong ethical values towards the church. All new trustees are given, in the view of the Board of Trustees, sufficient training and have enough knowledge of their specific field(s) to understand the nature of the charity and fully comply with the charity's aims and objectives. They are required to participate in an orientation day to ensure they are aware of both their legal and professional responsibilities under charity and company law. Trustees are updated on development of church activities on a regular basis.
Organisational structure
A four-member Board of Trustees is responsible for the strategic management of the charity. Day-to-day management responsibility is delegated to the company director, secretary and the leadership of the church who report to the trustees as and when needed. The leadership also includes a three- member council of deacons and deaconesses who provide spiritual governance and oversight for members of Bread of Life Ministries.
Risk management
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. The trustees and the spiritual leadership are aware of the major risks facing the charity and have policies in place to manage them. They review these policies and ensure they are well documented and up to date. This is done through discussions at trustee meetings to ensure comprehensive planning is in place to mitigate any identified risk. This includes regular updates relating to the current pandemic, to consider the best way that Bread of Life can discharge its responsibilities in Divine ministry and giving due care and attention to safety concerns and health risks.

BREAD OF LIFE MINISTRIES (BRISTOL) CHARITABLE COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and Purposes
In accordance with its governing document, BOLM is committed to achieve its general charitable objectives by enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and make a difference in the local community by actively supporting and promoting the work of the church in the following areas:
-
To advance the Christian faith in accordance with the statement of beliefs worldwide
-
To provide financial and material aid in disaster-stricken areas of the world, natural or man-made
-
To help prevent sickness and disease by providing financial support, goods and services of
-
any kind
-
To provide Christian and formal education to both the privileged and the under privileged.
-
Provision of pastoral care for people in the community
-
Missionary and outreach activities
-
Coaching and mentoring for the youth.
-
Training and Development programmes.
The Trustees are aware of the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in "The Advancement of Religion for the Public Benefit" and have regard to that guidance in their administration of the charity. The Trustees believes that this report provides evidence of the public benefit of the charity's work in the year ended 30th April 2021.
ACTIVITIES AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
Due to the pandemic in this financial year, the organisation’s charitable activities were reduced to virtual services as a result of social distance rules. Members of the charity were supported by providing and supporting their needs through shopping for the vulnerable adults among us and providing online education on how to maintain their mental health and wellbeing due to the stress that was brought on by the pandemic. Activities such as coffee morning for our ladies, Discipleship classes, church services continued virtually through Zoom, Facebook live and streaming on YouTube.
The Charity ’s partnership with Compassion UK to reach vulnerable children has continued. Compassion is a charity that works with local churches to sponsor underprivileged children around the world. The charity helps to ensure vulnerable mothers have antenatal care, that children have vaccination against deadly diseases. They ensure children have the best possible start in life. There is an ongoing commitment from Bread of life ministries to continue in this work and to expand this further.
All activities are open to the public. The focus on activities in this year were for open forums and discussion on session on vaccination and education for the public on importance of social distancing, wearing mask and facts about the vaccination. Example of this attached
Though this financial year was a tough one for charitable actives, the Trustees and leaders adopted their style and learnt so quickly to use the technology to support its members and the wider public. The education on sharing mental health tips continued regardless of these challenges. Some of the topics and
6
BREAD OF LIFE MINISTRIES (BRISTOL) CHARITABLE COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE
education subjects delivered were on suicide prevention, dealing with depression and anxiety. This was helpful as many of the members and the public were anxious about the pandemic, financial security and coping with having children at home and working at the same time. As a result of these online session, many who were anxious and unsure of having the vaccination were educated with facts from experts in the field and this helped individuals to make informed decisions to protect themselves and the public. The charity is strongly committed to supporting the mental health of the public and this has continued through the Trustee who remains a Mental health First aider. Mental health affects 1 in 4 in our population, and it is a subject less talked about but is very important. By continuing to champion this course and providing information on this, the public has benefitted with useful information to support their mental health. Our purpose is to continue to champion this course for the benefit of the wider public
The charity continues to welcome and work with people of different cultures, ethnicity, and race, creating the environment for them to worship. All these activities are open to the public of all backgrounds.
Professionals in BOLM continue to mentor and coach younger ones to support them in career choices and their academic lives. This is an ongoing vision which is planned and worked on annually. Mentees are identified and assigned mentors to support their personal development and growth. This year, one of the ladies was supported to finish her course and is now in the process on embarking on a degree in nursing course in one of the local universities. This will not have been achievable without the support and mentoring provided for this person.
The new branch in Preston has continued to grow and impact their local community. They have continued to operate virtually and now preparing to start in person service in April 2022.
Volunteers
The trustees of the charity would like to express their on-going appreciations to all valued members of the various departments in the church for their valuable contributions in keeping the church operational. BOLM continues to rely on volunteers for its work in meeting the needs of its members and the general public. Without this support, BOLM would have had to incur significant staff costs. The workers in the charity include administrative staff, musicians, Sunday school teachers, the deacons, ushers, and the technical team who all volunteer their services without any pay. It is difficult to quantify this in our financial statements however we are aware this will be a significant cost to the charity if all volunteers were paid for their services.
Future Plans
Buying our own church premises remains a priority for our future goals. In this financial year, we had the opportunity to purchase property for the church and unfortunately our offers were not accepted as another organisation offered more money and cash payment. The Charity has continued to be astute in its financial state and continues to save for the next opportunity that will be presented.
The short and medium term aims indicated in last year’s report continue to be a priority for this year. These are outlined as follows.
Short Term:
CHURCH BUILDING
- Our goal is to continue to seek to purchase our place of worship for weekly activities - Sunday morning service, Wednesday evening teachings, Monday prayer meetings, choir rehearsals and a church office for counselling and administering pastoral care and helping meet needs of the people. We viewed a few properties in the year but these could not be purchased due to reasons relating to planning and change of use.

BREAD OF LIFE MINISTRIES (BRISTOL) CHARITABLE COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE
- Once a permanent church building is secured the church plans to actively assist in the provision of recreational facilities such as after-school clubs, youth clubs, holiday activities (e.g. Soccer Fun Week, Table Tennis, Art and Craft, etc) for the public at large and/or for those who by reason of their age, infirmity, disability, poverty or social and economic circumstances, have need of such facilities.
Medium term:
-
Continue to open branches in nearby cities.
-
Set up a dance and drama academy for children and the youth to use their talents.
-
Provide sports facilities including fitness classes for all ages to promote health. The public health agenda of health promotion relies a lot on lifestyle changes. Being able to offer support and health and fitness classes to the general public will support lifestyle changes and promote good health that will help alleviate long term health conditions such as diabetes, blood pressure problems and other health conditions.
-
To provide an activity centre for people suffering with mental health challenges who require a space for reflection and a place for engagement during the day. This will help promote social inclusion for people from disadvantaged backgrounds and therefore alleviate stigma arising from Mental Health issues.
-
To provide a place for the homeless people to have a hot meal each day and a place of shelter in bad weather. This will be done in the form of Soup Kitchens, and free cafes for the homeless.
-
Organise training seminars, workshops and teachings on knife crime, drug abuse and other antisocial behaviour that will promote and encourage public safety and prevention of crime.
-
Provide facilities that promote public health and assist with childcare by holding activities for ‘mums and toddlers’, the homeless and the elderly.
-
To provide a community that supports and help people with mental health challenges by being a mental health friendly church.
It is important to note that most of our medium-term goals are dependent on securing our church building. The Trustees are actively seeking that this is achieved as soon as this is possible.
Internal and external factors
The trustees have made a full assessment of the internal and external factors that may affect these financial statements and do not consider that there are any additional material items which need to be reported to arrive at a true and fair understanding of them.

BREAD OF LIFE MINISTRIES (BRISTOL) CHARITABLE COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial Performance
Total income generated during the year was £ 102,024 (2020: £92,141) a year-on-year decrease of 11%. Total expenditure incurred on charitable activities was £ 37,773 (2020: £89,594) which represents 37% of income generated (2020: 97%). Total cash grew by £157,302 in the year driven by an increase in income from donations, grants and additional credit facilities made available to the Charity which was largely unspent because of a significant reduction in expenditure driven by the lockdown restrictions during the Coronavirus pandemic. These additional funds will be vital in the Charity’s quest to acquire its own property.
Unrestricted Funds
Unrestricted income comprised gift aid receipts of £ 20,759 a year-on-year increase of 15% (2020: £17,977), income from tithes and offerings of £50,390 (2020: £67,965) and donations of £18,510 (2020: £3,715). The increase in income for this financial year is driven by a local authority grant income of £10,000 gratefully received to help the charity continue to offer its services to the local area during the covid-19 pandemic.
Unrestricted income accounted for 97% of the total income (2020: 97%) with tithes and offerings constituting 49% (2020: 74%) of the charity’s total unrestricted income. Expenditure in this category comprise costs incurred on charitable activities directly undertaken and support costs related to the governance, administration and management of the charity.
Costs incurred on charitable activities undertaken fell by 77% from £58,457 in 2020 to £13,341 in 2021. This was due to a significant reduction in evangelism, special events and operational expenses due to the charity adhering to lockdown restrictions imposed by the Government during the pandemic. Support costs including depreciation and transport costs also fell by 22% to £24,432.
Total net movement in unrestricted funds for the year was a surplus of £61,911 (2020: deficit £62). Total unrestricted funds carried forward on 30[th] April 2021 was £81,334 (2020: £19,422)
Restricted Fund
Restricted income received in the period was £2,340 (2020: £2,485) all of which related to donations received towards the acquisition of a church building. The trustees once again offer their sincere appreciation for the generous giving of members in support of not only the charity’s activities during this financial year but also towards the acquisition a church building.
The charity continued to search for suitable building facilities to purchase as BOLM spends a considerable amount of its income in renting spaces for its church services, offices, and meeting the socio-economic needs of its members although rental costs this year was lower due to Covid-29 restrictions.
Overall contributions towards the church building therefore increased to £56,623 (2020: £54,283) and the charity expects the fund to continue to grow so that it can meet the deposit required for the new church building.
No expenses of a restricted nature were incurred and bank interest on the building fund was immaterial.
Reserves policy
BOLM’s reserves policy is to ensure that unrestricted funds not presently committed or invested should be maintained at the level equivalent to two months’ expenditure to enable BOLM to continue pursuing its activities should there be a period of reduced income. This level has been revised down from three months, as two months is deemed to be a sufficient level of cover to be able to meet ongoing ministry

BREAD OF LIFE MINISTRIES (BRISTOL) CHARITABLE COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE
costs. Unrestricted funds carried forward to 2021 has been maintained at 26 months cover (2020: 2.5 months). This increase is driven by lower spend in the year due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Investment policy and objectives
Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association the trustees have the powers to invest in any way the trustees deem fit and to direct the sale or transposition of any such investments and to expend the proceeds of any such sale in furtherance of the objects of the charity. For the period the trustees did not undertake any such investments, but funds which are not immediately needed may be invested in short term deposits.
Overall, the charity has experienced another blessed and fulfilling year and expects to exceed its performance next year.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF BREAD OF LIFE MINISTRIES BRISTOL
I report on the financial statements of the charitable company for the year ended 30 April 2021, which are set out on pages 13 to 18.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees (who are not directors of the company for the purposes of company law, except Kwame Eric Markey) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified fellow of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants. The charity’s gross income however does not exceed £250,000.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act;
-
To follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act; and
-
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
oto prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met; or -
Which in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
