**REVIVE CHURCH (REGISTERED NUMBER: 07566472)** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

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 2023. 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). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

The objects of Revive Church are for the benefit of the public. They are as follows: 

A) To advance the Christian faith in accordance with the statement in such ways and in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the directors/trustees from time to time may think fit. 

B) To relieve sickness and financial hardship and to promote and preserve good health by the provision of funds, goods or services of any kind including through the provision of counselling and support in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the directors/trustees from time to time think fit ; and 

C) To advance education in such ways and in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the Directors from time to time may think fit. 

## **Volunteers** 

We have a reduced volunteer capacity post pandemic, of around 200 normally active volunteers across 2 main campuses, and 6 Outreach Locations, consisting of the following teams: 

- Campus teams 

- Outreach Locations 

- Revive Team and small group leaders 

- Pastors 

- Stewards and event team 

- Office Volunteers 

- Tech and production Team 

- Revival Kids and Revival Nation children's teams 

- Worship Team 

- Debt Counselling and community work team 

At an average level, these individuals will typically contribute about 2-4 hours per week. 

Since the pandemic, the active levels of volunteering have been much reduced, but these are now beginning to grow once again as the Covid restrictions and effects diminish. However, volunteering levels remain below that of pre-pandemic years.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

Revive Church continued its missions and ministry throughout this period with a return to in-person Sunday services, Re:Fresh Leaders Forums and Summits nationally, youth meetings and clubs, children's and family outreach, debt counselling, media ministry, prayer events, social activities, food bank supply, youth weeks, mission trips, city wide tours and events in our newly developed Outreach Locations. 

The youth work to reach struggling teens in Goole has continued to grow, becoming widely recognised, and we continue to work in collaboration with partner organisations there to impact the community. 

Currently Revive Church have Campuses and Outreach Locations in the East Yorkshire areas of Brough, Driffield, Market Weighton, Hedon, Cottingham, The Quadrant in Hull, Kingswood and Goole. 

Our increased online focus, developed in the pandemic period, has grown into a version of the Revive Church experience online, called "Revive @ Home", and around now 300 people gather in over 30 groups around the world, to watch the teachings and develop healthy Christians communities. 

We have referred to the guidance contained in the charities commission general guidance on public benefit and complied with section 17(5) of the 2011 charities act. 

The trustees consider that the activities undertaken by Revive Church provide a public benefit to those who are members of the church and those in the wider community. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

We have maintained a monthly review of our finances throughout the pandemic with a monthly data set being issued to Jarrod Cooper and one other Trustee (currently Stewart McKinlay). The combined charitable giving from individuals in our largest congregation in Hull has remained strong throughout the whole pandemic period and is the core of the financial stability, yet we have been aware of a reduction in over-all turnover, as we have been restricted in the amount of events and projects available during the tail end of the pandemic period. Our expectation had been that this would return to pre-pandemic levels but this has not been the case. As a consequence, a more cautious view to future income was adopted which resulted in the decision to reduce expenses and to do this primarily via reductions in the number of employed staff. 

## **Reserves policy** 

We currently follow the principles as laid out by SORP and specifically the guidance from the Charity Finance Group. 

Over the long term and if in the absence of a live and financially active building project (or planned major expense activity) and with our desire to invest the majority of available funds in our charitable activities, then our normal stance would be a low level of minimum cash reserves and to adjust our flexible expenditure so as to dampen out unforeseen variances. 

This results in a monthly cash reserves minimum policy of one month's salary expenditure which is approximately £25,000. The cash reserves upper limit is set at this lower figure plus 4 standard deviations which is approximately £115,000. Reserve levels outside of this band warrant debate and approval at a minuted Board meeting. 

The total reserves held at the end of the year amount to £1,027,142 (2022: £1,004,492). The restricted funds not available for general purposes at the end of the year amount to £483,733 (2022: £477,608). 

The total free reserves held at the end of the year amount to £352,074 (2022: £329,620). 

There were no commitments for material expenditure at the end of the year.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

Post pandemic our long-term plans to impact 20 locations in Hull and East Yorkshire have been adjusted somewhat to develop towards a model of 3-4 main church campuses, with 6-8 smaller Outreach locations led by volunteer staff, and churches and ministries nationally connected to us through the Revive Collective, our network of churches and ministries. This is currently sitting at around 20 churches and ministries and is growing steadily. 

Since March 2023, a Church split occurred through which about 35% of the congregation moved to a new Church set up in the local area. In addition to this, a 'daughter' Church was floated off which has resulted in a net effect of 4 main Churches but with 2 of these remaining in the Revive Charity. The majority of the original congregation remains with the Charity. In addition and since March 2023, Revive has acquired a permanent centre and HQ for the main congregation (Hull). In addition to it providing a large auditorium space along with the usual separate rooms for children work, social outreach and so on, it also supports and Adventure park for children and young adults. This will be operated as an ongoing business via a new trading Company wholly owned by Revive Church. 

The Church future plans will now revolve around this centre as a focus for our community engagement and young people support and outreach. This now fulfils the goals as described in previous year reports of providing a new HQ and regional centre for the aims of the Charity and all at significantly lower cost than a new-build facility that was central to the pre-pandemic plans. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity is constituted as a company limited by guarantee, and is therefore governed by a Memorandum and Articles of Association 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

The company may by ordinary resolution appoint a person who is willing to act as either to fill a vacancy or as an additional director/trustee, provided the appointment does not cause the number of directors/trustees to exceed any number fixed by or in accordance with the Articles as the maximum number of directors/trustees. 

## **Induction and training of new trustees** 

In the event that a new director is appointed to the board it shall be the responsibility of the Chair of the Board Directors to ensure appropriate information and if necessary training is available to ensure the new appointee can discharge their duties in a competent manner. 

## **Key management remuneration** 

We use two benchmark salary points from the AoG (associate minister and minister) and treat these as firm guides for our equivalent roles. The most important benchmark is the minister role which is recorded in Directors meeting minutes. Deviation from these benchmarks can be proposed for reasons such as experience level, sustained performance etc. but must be approved by the non-paid Directors. Other paid roles are then remunerated in relation to these two benchmark salaries. 

This policy has been updated in the financial year 2022-23. 

General cost of living pay increases are guided by the Government official inflation figures. For this financial year we awarded 5% and this was approved by the non-paid Directors. This figure, although lower than the unusually high UK inflation figures, was in recognition of the cost of living pressures being experienced by all.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Risk management** 

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. 

## **Principal risks and uncertainties** 

At a statistical level we are financially very stable. We have had a sustained period of growth over the last 12 years during which we averaged low double digit annual income growth. We have a mature leadership and Governance structure and as such, the ongoing charitable activities are deemed as low risk. The significant recent risk in front of the charity is the pandemic impact to income and the Church split with reduction in congregation members. This has been tightly monitored with adjustments made to expenses and employed staff levels to match these income reductions. The other major risk was the large new building on Kingswood and this project had been closed in the previous year. The intent is to secure a smaller and significantly lower cost facility which is much more suited to a post pandemic changed ways of working for the charity. This has been realised in the autumn of 2023 at significantly less cost. 

The principle risks looking forward and mitigating actions are as follows. For context, the Church split is behind us and membership along with financial income has returned to growth (during 2023/24). 

1. Income growth is less than forecast. Rather than the historical growth, a four year period of no growth and some further decline has been modelled. Over this period the discretionary spend (giving, small projects and conferences) would be cut by 60% which would leave the charity with a small overall surplus. 

2. As previously described, the new HQ plan was to be at a reduced spend level and scale to reduce financial risks looking forward. This planning still included the intent of a future mortgage to fund the new HQ. This mortgage burden has now been removed from our future plans, as the actual purchase of our new HQ in Autumn 2023 will require us to have no borrowings which significantly de-risks our future financial health.

Information relating to events since the end of the year is given in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The trustees (who are also the directors of Revive Church for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees 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 year which 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 the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- 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 which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to 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. 

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF REVIVE CHURCH (REGISTERED NUMBER: 07566472)** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Revive Church ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can 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 matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). 

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.

**REVIVE CHURCH** 

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023** 

## **1. 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 charity has departed from the Charities SORP and FRS 102 in order to depreciate all freehold property at a rate of 2% on a straight line basis. 

The treatment required by the Charities SORP and FRS 102 where an asset comprises of two or more major components is that each component should be depreciated separately over its useful life and that the value of land is not depreciated. 

The trustees consider that depreciating all freehold property at a rate of 2% on a straight line basis reflects the value of the asset for the charity, and have concluded that the accounts present a true and fair view. 

## **Financial reporting standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions** 

The charitable company has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland': 

- the requirements of Section 7 Statement of Cash Flows. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. Income is deferred only when the charity has to fulfil conditions before it becomes entitled to it. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, 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 accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

Freehold property - 2% Straight Line Fixtures and fittings - 20% Straight Line 

Capitalisation Policy - only Fixed Assets costing in excess of £500 are capitalised. 

Freehold property includes £80,000 for land costs, the land is not depreciated. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
