Page 1 ## **CHURCHES TOGETHER IN LEICESTERSHIRE** ## **YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020 TRUSTEES REPORT** The Trustees present their report and the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020 **Charity Registration** This is the tenth Formal Report as a Registered Charity. **Summary of activities** The Trustees have continued to support denominations, churches, local Councils and Groups of Churches, Local Ecumenical Partnerships and those in local Covenants. The work is co-ordinated by the County Ecumenical Development Officer (CEDO), one of two directly paid workers, the other being the Lubbesthorpe Pioneer Community Worker (see below). **Lubbesthorpe** Lubbesthorpe is a very large housing development to the west of Leicester and a Pioneer Community Worker (PCW) was appointed funded by four Church Groups (Anglican, Baptist, Methodists and United Reformed Church). During 2016 the Charity took on the responsibility of managing the Lubbesthorpe Account, paying the PCW on behalf of these Church Groups and paying for various community activities as they were developed. The monies involved are more than those in the Basic CTiL Account but are ring fenced as a separate sub-account and shown in a separate column on the Receipts and Payments Summary pages. **Church Media** During 2019 the Charity agreed to manage this (small) account which had been running independently. It is a ring fenced sub-account and thus has a separate column on the Receipts and Payments Summary pages. Church Media finance the publicity surrounding “Sing Christmas” which is broadcast by BBC Radio Leicester just before Christmas each year and relies on specific donations. **Development and future plans** As conjectured in last year's report, “Lubbesthorpe Alive” (a Community Interest Company) became active during 2020 but CtiL continued to financially support most of the Lubbesthorpe activities until year end. In 2021 the main Lubbesthorpe account will be restricted to supporting the PCW since the community activities will be the responsibility of “Lubbesthorpe Alive”. There are no other immediate plans to alter the way in which the Charity is run nor the way in which the income is expended. **Fresh Expressions Area Strategy Team (FEAST)** Since 2013 the Charity has accepted the responsibility of managing the (small) FEAST Account. The Income and Expenditure goes through the Main Account but since this is a specific ring fenced sub-account the details are shown in a separate column on the Receipts and Payments Summary pages. However, there has been no movement in or out during 2020. **Reserves** All of the Charity's basic income is derived from donations from denominations and membership donations/subscriptions from local Councils and Groups of Churches. It is ring-fenced where necessary. It is considered prudent to have, as a minimum, sufficient reserves to allow for a redundancy payment to the CEDO should forward projections suggest that the contract needs to be terminated. **Summary of Results** Other than assisting the start up of Lubbesthorpe Alive **t** he Trustees have made no special grants during the year. The major expenditures are directed towards maintaining the CEDO in his post and in his work, and in managing the Lubbesthorpe Account. The Trustees are satisfied with the Charity's affairs.
