REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2020

The Trustees present their report along with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 5 April 2020. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on pages 10 and 11 and comply with the charity’s trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).

Objectives and Activities

The object of the charity is to promote the Coptic Orthodox Church in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. In furtherance of this object the Trustees may provide and maintain places of public worship, carry out religious services, pay the priests salaries, hold religious and other meetings in connection with the Coptic Orthodox Church and provide assistance for the needy in the United Kingdom and abroad.

Coptic Orthodox Diocese of London

St Mary and Archangel Michael Coptic Orthodox Church is part of the Coptic Orthodox Diocese of London.

Summary of the main achievements of the charity

The church, which is based in Golders Green, is open most days of the week for celebrating the Divine Liturgy, prayer meetings, seminars, group discussions, Bible studies, Coptic language lessons, Coptic hymns lessons and other church activities.

During the year, the youths of the church attended and organised conferences, retreats and trips in the UK and abroad.

The church has sports activities and has football and basketball teams which play and compete against teams of other Coptic churches in the UK.

Performance of fundraising activities against objectives

During the year, the church has collected funds from the congregation to pay for its running expenses and donate to some poor families in the community.

Investment performance against objectives

Due to the low interest currently paid by the banks, the return from the funds invested by the charity in a Money Market bank was low but higher than the previous year £1,240 (2019: £1,157).

Financial Review

The statement of financial activities is set out on page 7 and shows the result of the year.

The charity incurred costs in furtherance of its objects of £239,027 (2019: £204,692). After taking into account these expenses and other management and administrative expenses of £5,417 (2019: £5,423) the net incoming resources for the year were £70,061 (2019: £102,392).

At 5 April 2020, as shown on the balance sheet on page 8, the charity has net assets of £1,302,393 (2019: £1,232,332), which were mainly held in fixed assets as shown on note 6 and on bank deposits and current accounts.

The charity’s principal sources of funds

The charity’s main source of funding were the payments made by its members in the form of donations received and church collection.

The charity’s expenditure

The expenditure during the year was incurred in maintaining the church and the hall, making them available to the public to use for worship and social activities; the payment of the priest’s salaries and expenses, the provision of Sunday schools to teach the children the faith of the church and to provide help to the needy in the community.

Reserves policy

The Trustees aim to keep in reserves at any point of time three months of expenditure to cover unplanned emergency repairs to the church building and other expenses. The amount of reserves held at the year end was £1,302,241 (2019: £1,135,609) of which £416,424 (2019: £379,898), are regarded as free reserves after allowing for funds tied up in tangible fixed assets.

Investment policy and objectives

The Trustees’ investment powers are governed by the Trust Deed, which permits the Charity’s funds to be invested in properties, any cash investments and chattels as they see fit.

The Trustees have considered the most appropriate policy for investing the charity’s funds and decided to keep it in a Money Market bank account which to have it available for paying for the project of building a new hall, that is currently with the planners.

Risk management

The main risks which may face the charity is the reduction in donations from the congregation.

The charity relies on donations from a large number of donors, not a few individuals, which reduces the risk of huge fluctuations in the income from donations.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES - CONTINUED FOR YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2020

Future plans

The charity obtained a planning permission to demolish the old church hall building and replace it with a four storey building, including a basement.

The new building will be used by the church for its activities and by the community as a nursery. The project is expected to take 19 months to complete and its estimated cost will be about £3.2 million.

The charity reached an agreement with Charity Bank for funding the project, and the work will start as soon as a contract is signed with a contractor to carry out the work.

Description of charity’s trusts

The charity was formed on 18 November 2010 as an incorporated trust, registered with the Charity Commission, registration number 1139569, on 30 December 2010 and is governed by the Charities Act 2011 and its Trust deed dated 18 November 2010.

Trustee selection methods

The charity is managed by the Church Council consisting of the Presiding Bishop, the Priests of the Church and not less than five Council Members, who are selected from time to time by the Church Council and appointed by His Eminence the Archbishop of The Coptic Orthodox Church in London.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF SAINT MARY AND ARCHANGEL MICHAEL COPTIC ORTHODOX CHURCH

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Saint Mary and Archangel Michael Coptic Orthodox Church (‘the charity’) for the year ended 5 April 2020, which are set out on pages 7 to 17.

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 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 Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
