## **Trustees' Report** 

The trustees, who are directors for the purposes of company law, present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charitable company for the year ended 31 March 2024. 

## **Trustees and officers**

## **Statement of trustees' responsibilities** 

The trustees (who are also the directors of Bridge Chapel for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland". 

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. 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 applicable accounting standards, comprising FRS 102 have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that can 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. 

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. 

The church leadership at BRIDGE CHAPEL present the Annual Report together with the financial statements. 

BRIDGE CHAPEL is a Registered Charity – No 1140509 and a Company – No 7472282 

and is affiliated to the FIEC (Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches).

## **ANNUAL REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES – 2023/24 (Public Benefit)** 

The merger of Bridge Chapel, Bridge Chapel Centre and Cafe Esta completed in October 2023. 

The Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning future activities. The Trustees consider that the charity’s activities reflect our aims and objectives, and that they are designed to provide accessible services and activities that benefit the appropriate sector of the public in accordance with our charitable activities. 

The following ministries have been supported, maintained and developed during the financial year. 

- Sunday Church Services 

- Growth Groups 

- Centre Ministries 

- Youth Ministries 

- Adult Ministries 

- Care Ministry 

- Training & Leadership 

- Community Outreach 

- Music Ministry 

- Administration 

- Local area “litter picks” 

- Significant part in local area yearly Garston Fun Day. 

The church continued to hold services of worship every Sunday, which have included preaching and/or Bible teaching, and throughout the year, age-related activities for children have also been provided. All of these meetings have been open to the general public, whom we have regularly invited by means of social media posts on Facebook and Instagram, some leaflet campaigns and visitation in the surrounding area. 

In addition, we conducted 7 funerals, 1 thanksgiving service and 8 people were baptised. 

Our targeted activities for a range of different groups continued. This included meetings for seniors – Bible studies, lunch clubs and social get togethers have been promoted in Liverpool and the surrounding area. Our weekday activities for children also returned to meeting as and when appropriate and have attracted children from a similar catchment area. Activities for children and young people attract approximately 150 each week and in addition camps are held in the summer and autumn with over 100 attending. 

The church supports a club on Thursdays for adults with learning difficulties. 

The church has also maintained its support for church-planting and missionary work throughout the world. At present we support a family working with Africa Inland Mission (AIM) in Nairobi Kenya, a small mission in Nosy Be, Madagascar also with AIM, and a family working with Operation Mobilisation in Florence, South Carolina USA.The church building is normally open 5 days per week and on many occasions is open on weekends and is a real and positive community resource to which the public have free access. 

We host a summer event for the community including a mobile farm and also community Easter and Christmas services. 

Bridge Chapel relies entirely on the freewill giving of members and others sympathetic with our aims and objectives. No public appeals for money are made. Opportunities for support of specific projects by prayer, in kind, by giving of time or resources may be communicated to the membership and congregation from time to time.

## **Trustees' Report** 

We are grateful and thankful to God that “All we have needed, His hand has provided, Great is His faithfulness…” 

## **RISK MANAGEMENT** 

The Trustees continue to regularly review the major risks to which the charity is exposed, and take appropriate action to mitigate those risks. 

## **GRANT MAKING POLICY** 

The church currently aims to allocate at least 20% of the total donations received in the year to the following:- 

- Mission Support 

- Compassion Support 

Gifts to external organisations and individuals are considered by the Trustees on the basis of need and fulfilment of the charitable activities. There are no upper or lower limits of support. 

## **FINANCIAL RESERVES POLICY** 

It is the policy of the church to hold in reserve the equivalent of six months general running costs, currently approximately £400,000. The level of reserves is reviewed annually. 

Reserves in our particular situation are needed to:- 

- Cover unforeseen emergency expenditure on building/facilities 

- Cover a dramatic and drastic loss of income 

- Meet our commitments in the short to medium term to those who labour in the gospel among us 

- Demonstrate good stewardship and financial management 

- Meet unexpected ministry calls or gospel opportunities that may present themselves

## **Bridge Chapel** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024** 

## **1 Charity status** 

The charity is limited by guarantee, incorporated in , and consequently does not have share capital. Each of the trustees is liable to contribute an amount not exceeding £Nil towards the assets of the charity in the event of liquidation. 

The address of its registered office is: Bridge Chapel Centre Heath Road Liverpool L19 4XR 

These financial statements were authorised for issue by the trustees on 29 January 2025. 

## **2 Accounting policies** 

## **Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates** 

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. 

## **Statement of compliance** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Basis of preparation** 

Bridge Chapel meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity. 

## **Exemption from preparing a cash flow statement** 

The charity opted to early adopt Bulletin 1 published on 2 February 2016 and have therefore not included a cash flow statement in these financial statements. 

## **Income and endowments** 

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 the income receivable can be measured reliably. 

The notes on pages 9 to 15 form an integral part of these financial statements. Page 9 



## **Bridge Chapel** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024** 

## _**Donations and legacies**_ 

Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditions that require a level of performance by the charity before the charity is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those conditions are fully met, or the fulfilment of those conditions is wholly within the control of the charity and it is probable that these conditions will be fulfilled in the reporting period. 

## _**Gifts in kind**_ 

Gifts in kind are recognised in different ways dependent on how they are used by the charity: 

(i) Those donated for resale produce income when they are sold. They are valued at the amount actually realised. 

(ii) Those donated for onward transmission to beneficiaries are included in the Statement of Financial Activities as incoming resources and resources expended when they are distributed. They are valued at the amount the charity would have had to pay to acquire them. 

(iii) Those donated for use by the charity itself are included when receivable. They are valued at the amount the charity would have had to pay to acquire them. 

## _**Investment income**_ 

Dividends are recognised once the dividend has been declared and notification has been received of the dividend due. 

## **Expenditure** 

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs. 

## _**Charitable activities**_ 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

## _**Grant provisions**_ 

Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty about either the timing of the grant or the amount of grant payable. 

## **Support costs** 

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage. 

The notes on pages 9 to 15 form an integral part of these financial statements. Page 10 



## **Bridge Chapel** 

## **Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2024** 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Individual fixed assets costing £500.00 or more are initially recorded at cost. 

## **Depreciation and amortisation** 

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: 

**Asset class Depreciation method and rate** Office equipment 25% reducing balance basis 

## **Trade debtors** 

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. 

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. 

## **Trade creditors** 

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities. 

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. 

## **Fund structure** 

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. 

Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
