Report of the Trustees
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022. The trustees 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
The Annual report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities.
Since the charity qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Policies and objectives
The charitable objectives are the advancement of the Christian faith according to the principles of the Baptist denomination and the charity may also advance education and carry out other charitable purposes in the United Kingdom and/or other parts of the world.
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2).

We hope the rest of the report will demonstrate the public benefit from the Charity's work, specifically in advancing faith, bringing spiritual peace, and in social action that reaches the practical felt needs of those in our locality and overseas.

for the Year Ended 31 March 2022
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
It is our policy to try and maintain a reserve equivalent to approximately no lower than three months expenditure (now approximately £26,000). It is hoped that this level of reserve gives sufficient capacity for the church to respond flexibly to a sudden drop of income or unexpected demands on the church resources.
At the year end the general free reserves (excluding fixed assets) stood at £243,691 (2021 - £260,991), therefore is well in excess of the minimum required.
The Trustees are satisfied that no additional actions or considerations are necessary in the context of the reserves at this point in time. The level of reserves will continue to be kept under review to ensure they are appropriate to our needs.
Deficit
The Trustees remain mindful of the deficit and have taken steps to reduce it with marked success. However, due to the impact of Covid and the initial restrictions on church building opening and the resulting reduction in income, a balanced budget was not achieved by the end of 2022. The Trustees continue to set the target of producing a balanced budget by the end of the financial year 2022/2023. Quarterly budget reviews by the budget Team take place in order to continue to address the deficit.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
Tabernacle Baptist Church Wolverhampton is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Memorandum of Association on 11 November 2010 and was registered as a charity on 25 January 2011.
Charity constitution
The church existed as a place of worship in the area since 1908 under the name Tabernacle Baptist Church and stood as an unincorporated charity until the church body agreed to transfer into a charitable company limited by guarantee due to a change in government legislation regarding Charities Law.
The principal object of the charity is the advancement of the Christian faith according to the principles of the Baptist denomination and the charity may also advance education and carry out other charitable purposes in the United Kingdom and/or other parts of the world.
Methods of appointment or election of Trustees
The Trustees are elected from the Church membership by resolution at the Church Members Meeting. The Trustees are also the Deacons of the Church. In addition, the Minister of the Church serves as a Trustee ex-officio.
There must be a minimum of 3 Trustees. The Trustees (with the exception of the Minister) serve for a 3-year term and at the end of that term must retire but may be eligible for reappointment for one further term. A close family member of a serving Trustee shall not be eligible for appointment as a Trustee.
Organisational structure and decision-making policies
The Trustees have legal responsibility for the church. Decisions relating to the appointment and removal of the Minister, the appointment and removal of Trustees, decisions relating to land and building of the church, the administration of the Membership List and the closure of the church must be referred to the Church Meeting which has primary authority on these matters.
Financial risk management
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the charity and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2022
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Tabernacle Baptist Church Wolverhampton is a charitable company registered and domiciled in England. Its principal activity is to operate as a Christian church. Its registered office is Tabernacle Baptist Church, Dunstall Road, Wolverhampton WV6 0NJ.
Company Status
The charity is a company limited by guarantee. The members of the company are the membership of the church. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£), rounded to the nearest £.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions:
Multi-employer defined benefit pension scheme - the charity has an obligation to pay a deficit funding arrangement in respect of a multi-employer defined benefit pension scheme (Baptist Pension Scheme). The present value of the obligation depends on a number of factors including the RPI rate and the discount rate on corporate bonds. Management estimates these factors based on guidance from the Baptist Pensions, in determining the new pension obligation in the balance sheet.
Income
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Donations are recognised on receipt.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to the activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset's use.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Expenditure
Support costs are those costs incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity. Governance costs are those incurred in connection with administration of the charity and compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
Tangible fixed assets
All tangible fixed assets costing more that £1,000 are capitalised.
A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable. Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of financial activities incorporating income and expenditure accounts.
Tangible fixed assets are carried at cost, net of depreciation and any provision for impairment. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
| Freehold property | - over 50 years on a straight-line basis |
|---|---|
| Short-term leasehold property | - over the shorter of the period remaining on the lease and the expected |
| useful life | |
| Fixtures and fittings | - over 4 or 5 years on a straight-line basis (or over the term of the lease if |
| this is shorter) |
Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.
Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objective of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The Church operates two defined contribution pension schemes, the Baptist Pension Scheme for the minister and a NEST scheme for all other staff. The pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Church to the fund in respect of the year.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
Prior to 2012, pension provision for the Baptist Pension Scheme was made through a multi-employer defined benefit pension plan. Where it is not possible for the employer to obtain sufficient information about its share of the underlying assets and liabilities of the defined benefit pension plan it is accounted for as a defined contribution plan. Where the plan is in deficit and the Church has agreed, with the plan, to participate in a deficit funding arrangement, the church recognises a liability for this obligation. The amount recognised is the net present value of the contributions payable under the agreement that relate to the deficit. This amount is shown as an expense in the Statement of Financial Activities. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost. A liability for the agreed pension scheme deficit plan of the Baptist Pension Scheme has been included based on the current Schedule of Contributions.
Operating leases
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of financial activities on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Interest Receivable
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity: this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution which whom the funds are deposited.
Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term liquid investments with a short maturity of 3 months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
Liabilities
Liabilities and provisions are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation.
Financial Instruments
The charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.
