Trustees’ report
for the year ended 31 December 2022
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Charity for the year from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022. 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 Charity comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the Charity’s governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019).
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.
The Charity previously operated under the name Emmanuel Church Dartford.
Objectives and activities
a. Policies and objectives
To advance the Christian Faith and relieve poverty in the area of Dartford, Kent and elsewhere in 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)'.
Achievements and performance
a. Review of activities
This year Net Church has continued to develop and grow both through it’s Sunday services and it’s pastoral and community programmes.
Pastoral work and Church services.
The church has continued to grow in numbers with hundreds of people now attending the Sunday services. The church employs Pastors to offer pastoral care and support to it’s members. Smaller groups called connect groups are run fortnightly and overseen by volunteers offering a support network to members as well as Bible teaching. Groups are also run for Youth, Young adults, 18-30s and senior citizens. These groups offer support,friendship, mentoring and Christian teaching.
Community programmes.
The Church is committed to the care of it’s wider community and as such runs a number of programmes. These consist of a weekly mothers and toddlers group, a weekly meal and social time for elderly people, weekly youth programme, support to the local food bank and the cold weather shelter for the homeless. As part of our mentoring programme for young people our youth pastor has been working closely with local schools and taking assemblies and teaching in lessons on life skills. Through our media department the church has run an apprenticeship scheme in content creation helping young people learn valuable skills to help them enter the workplace.The church actively supports a child sponsorship programme through compassion UK and gives financial and other support to around 300 children in Ethiopia.
We look forward to the future and to reaching, helping and connecting with our wider community.

Trustees’ report (continued)
for the year ended 31 December 2022
Financial review
a. Going concern
After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.
b. Reserves policy
The Board of Trustees has established a policy whereby free reserves (defined as the amounts held as current assets less current liabilities in the general fund) of the Charity should be maintained at approximately two months of expenditure. Currently the free reserves amount to £297,992 and therefore are above the stated reserves policy.
As at 31 December 2022, the unrestricted reserves stood at £967,034, of which £669,042 was represented by the capital fund (reflecting property and equipment less the outstanding mortgage thereon), and £297,992 was held in general reserves (see note 14).
c. Results for the year
During the year, the charity received income of £408,452 (2021: £309,746) and incurred expenditure of £393,352 (2021: £358,991). The charity had a surplus at year end of £15,100 (2021: deficit of £49,245).
d. Principal risks and uncertainties
The Trustees have reviewed the risks to which a small charity operating with few employees is exposed. Appropriate procedures are in place to identify, monitor and review these risks on a regular basis.
e. Restricted funds
The purpose of the individiual restricted funds is detailed in note 14.
Structure, governance and management
a. Constitution
Net Church Dartford is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by a Memorandum of Association on 30 March 2011.
The Charity is constituted under a Memorandum of Association dated 30 March 2011 and is a registered charity number 1141375.
b. Methods of appointment or election of Trustees
The management of the Charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Memorandum of Association.
c. Organisational structure and decision-making policies
The policy and operating decisions of the Charity rest with the Trustees who meet regularly to monitor the activities of the Charity.

Structure, governance and management (continued)
d. 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 our exposure to the major risks.
The Trustees have reviewed the risks to which a small charity operating with few employees is exposed. Appropriate procedures are in place to identify, monitor and review these risks on a regular basis. The most significant risk facing the Charity is the potential for there to be a significant fall in the size of the congregation.
Plans for future periods
As of 1st August 2023, the charity Net Church Dartford merged with its associated charity Net Church Sittingbourne (registered as Net Church with charity number 1054377), which has the same Trustee body. All assets and activities will be moved into the registration of Net Church Dartford, and Net Church Sittingbourne will be dissolved.
The Trustees will continue to support the objectives and activities of the Charity for the foreseeable future.
Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities
The Trustees (who are also the Directors of the Charity 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).
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial . 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 Charity and of its income and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
-
° select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
e observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP (FRS 102);

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity 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 Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Notes to the financial statements
for the year ended 31 December 2022
- General information
The Charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee. The members of the Charity are the Trustees named on page 1. 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. The Charity has the registered company number 07584098 and the registered charity number 1141375. Its registered office is 30 Spital Street, Dartford, DA1 2DL.
2. Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements 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), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.
Net Church Dartford 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.
2.2 Going concern
The Trustees assess whether the use of going concern is appropriate i.e. whether there are any material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Charity to continue as a going concern. The Trustees make this assessment in respect of a period of at least one year from the date of authorisation for issue of the financial statements and have concluded that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern, thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
2.3 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.
Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.
2.4 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.
Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.
All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
2.5 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 with whom the funds are deposited.

for the year ended 31 December 2022
2. Accounting policies (continued)
2.6 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets costing £2,500 or more 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. Shorfalls 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.
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 buildings - Straight line over 50 years (land is not depreciated) Motor vehicles - Straight line over 3 years Fixtures and fittings - Straight line over 3 to 7 years
2.7 Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.
- 2.8 Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
2.9 Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities 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. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.
2.10 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 with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.11 Pensions
The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year.
