## **ONE CHURCH BRIGHTON (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**
The One Church Brighton Trustees present their report and accounts for the period ended 31 December 2020.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 2 to the accounts and comply with the company’s Memorandum of Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2015) – (Charities SORP (FRS102)).
## **Objectives and activities**
One Church Brighton (“One Church”) is led by Minister Dave Steell and supported by a strong trusteeship. One Church Brighton has continued to grow, since forming in 2011 - both as a church, with a strong emphasis on community, and also as a charity. We are members of the Baptist Union and our local Baptist Association.
As an organisation, we are underpinned by five values which provide us with identity, direction and strength. Briefly, these are to encourage people to become more **intimate** with God, more **involved** in helping others in need, more **interdependent** with others around us, more **inclusive** of everyone whoever they are and to act with **integrity** in all we do.
Both the church and charity have influenced and impacted the key issues affecting the city of Brighton and Hove, including homelessness, unemployment, food and financial poverty, social isolation and issues affecting young people and families. In addition to the City of Brighton and Hove, our projects have expanded and work within West Sussex.
Our wide ranging projects have been funded by a range of organisations (including the Big Lottery, Children in Need, Garfield Weston, Rampion, The Goodall Foundation), our congregation, businesses and various local funders.
The key beneficiaries of our activities are:
- Young people – particularly those who are not in education employment or training and pre-school children.
- Those at risk of social isolation – with a particular focus on those who are vulnerable and vulnerable families.
- Those who are vulnerable to food and financial poverty – particularly focussing on families with school age children.
- Local organisations who share our values – particularly those who need building or skills resources.
- Our Church Community – those who actively participate in our projects, programmes and church activities.
## **Activities, Performance and Achievements**
In shaping our objectives and planning our activities for the period, the Trustees have given consideration to the duties set out in section 17(5) of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit and to the Charity Commission Guidance on public benefit. In particular, the Trustees have considered how the planned activities will contribute to the overall aims and objectives that they have set.
Our funding and giving go directly into our projects, many of which engage those who are most in need and we aim to be as lean as possible by being resourceful. We use our buildings, finance, staff and volunteers to do this.

**ONE CHURCH BRIGHTON (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**
## **Activities, Performance and Achievements (continued)**
In 2020, One Church, along with the world, was affected by the Coronavirus pandemic. We were able to continue to run some of our projects and events, with huge support from **volunteers** , some of whom are partners of the Church, and others who identify with our values and want to make a difference in our city.
We had to put a number of projects on hold or change the focus in 2020. Our volunteer co-ordinator was furloughed due to minimal use of volunteers, but on return has continued to develop a stronger understanding of our many ‘projects’, and how we can recruit and support our volunteers consistently. As things started to open up during the last quarter of 2020, we were able to review our approach and our polices and handbooks, to help make the reopening with volunteers a good experience in 2021.
Our touchpoints to the community in 2020 have been impacted by Coronavirus, meaning we were unable to engage face to face with, what would normally be, thousands of people through the different projects. The projects that could operate through the pandemic continued to be diverse and in keeping with our values.
**Pro Baristas** , our coffee barista training project, had to be suspended during 2020 due to the pandemic. Normally the project would engage with hundreds of people, many of whom were not in education, training or employment. The project is able to offer a skills-tracking framework moving people into employability.
It was not possible to keep up those relationships and communication because **Bloom** . Our drop-in café, was forced to close during the pandemic and therefore could not provide a mentoring scheme.
A number of coffees shops across the city closed during the pandemic, putting a number of baristas out of work. In order to support those baristas we were able, through funding and a ‘buy one, give one’ incentive, to give them a weekly care package of groceries, including coffee. As restrictions have eased, after taking careful risk assessments, we were able to the Pro Barista training again ready to make people employable in the city.
The aim of our **youth work** is to increase self-confidence and increase participation and involvement in local community activities and school. We recruited a new youth leader in November 2020, who worked to develop a committed and passionate team of volunteers and encouraged activities to be youth-led as well as helping to build healthy, strong connections with young people. The big Lottery has supported us through funding.
Until March when the pandemic hit, our associate minister and an intern continued to run a lunch time club with a local school, building relationships with young people who may be experiencing social anxiety. However from March they were unable to connect with, or enter the school, as the pandemic started.
Safehouse, which is an after school club for 11 – 18 year olds, continued when it could as restrictions were lifted. Our youth, children and family work connections continued to be strong in 2020, with the best use of online meet ups and our new Youth leader engaging on a 1-1 basis.
The pandemic affected The **One Church Brighton community** in many ways. We moved our Sunday services to an online live stream, which continued to attract many new people and partners with a real diversity in age, background and faith experience. Many joined us at our Sunday services when permitted by pandemic restrictions. We continued and encouraged Small groups to foster relationships within the church community, meeting online or in open spaces, when restrictions allowed. We continued this pattern of church throughout 2020 and encouraged the community to create more intimate friendships and interdependence with each other in new ways.
Pastoral care has been more important but more challenging than ever, encouraging our values and creating relationships to grow our community. The Pastoral support worker and the team around them has worked hard to endorse this and promote good, honest connections.

**ONE CHURCH BRIGHTON (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**
## **Activities, Performance and Achievements (continued)**
At the start of 2020 the monthly **community meal** continued, but stopped during lockdown and did not open again for the remainder of 2020.
In 2020, the rural Christian residential community at **Buncton Manor Farm** in West Sussex, which One Church has encouraged and formed, was severely impacted by the pandemic. Buncton Manor was a place created and shaped to offer accommodation to support people in crisis or experiencing vulnerability, by offering a place of respite, restoration, safety and hospitality.
The Buncton Manor host position was filled, and they worked closely with the Senior Host to prepare the house, interview and welcome initial guests. We started receiving guests into the house, but the pandemic meant that this was harder to manage and although guests and hosts were in place and it started to take shape, it didn’t move beyond a very small community living together. A decision was made after the year end to close the project.
**Table Talk** , which aims to tackle social isolation by changing café culture, making it more friendly to those who might appreciate connection and conversation, started in 2020 with a strong support of volunteers and cafe’s on board. Funding remained in place from Brighton Buses, who used the Table Talk sign for their buses that had a table, therefore enabling Table Talk to branch out from the normal café option. The pandemic and closing of all seated areas and social distancing meant that meeting strangers in this way was no longer appropriate. As the cafés continued with social distancing practices during 2020, the project could not operate as intended and therefore our Table Talk project lead was furloughed until such time as they could restart the project in 2021.
**Florence Road Market** , our weekly farmer’s market, halted briefly in 2020, and changed its operating model. Firstly it moved to an online market, enabling both the pick up and delivery of ‘Veg boxes’. It also provided an opportunity for our regular local market traders to include other produce and goods in those boxes, to enable them to continue to trade. We also introduced the ‘buy one, give one’ initiative, where a buyer could buy their own box and donate a second box to a low income family, such as those recognised by our Chomp project, or others out of work such as our barista contacts.
After careful risk assessment, we were able to open the Market again, putting in new measures and ensuring social distancing protocols were put in place. It has continued to grow, bringing in new and loyal customers from more diverse backgrounds.
We are influential in the local area surrounding the Market, but also reach out to partner with wider communities and businesses, both locally and nationally. We continued to sell fruit and vegetables grown at Rock Farm, our market garden, thereby using the market as a platform for social and environmental outreach and crosspollination.
Our 6 acre market garden at **Rock Farm** provided benefits for both regular volunteers and supporters. We continued to work from the garden, as an outdoor facility. Due to the pandemic we were unable to invite as many people to the Farm, either therapeutically or to visit, however once restrictions were lifted we were able to provide some ‘get away space’ for courses and therapeutic sessions for our Chomp families, and hold other socially distanced events.
Our method of growing and land management that replenishes biodiversity has proven that it offers more therapeutic benefit and produces food more efficiently. This positions us to be influential in innovative, conservation agriculture and therapeutic horticulture.

## **ONE CHURCH BRIGHTON (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**
**Chomp** is passionate about supporting families with children who find themselves in challenging circumstances. The pandemic heightened those challenges as well as putting more families than ever into that situation. We provide integrative support that spans across immediate needs such as food poverty and holiday hunger, to meaningful engagement across interdependent communities.
We journey with our families providing wider support through partnered stakeholders, ranging from the local council, charities, clubs and the wider One Church Brighton community. In 2020, the Chomp lunch and activity clubs were halted after February, and required a complete change of direction in terms of facilitating and supporting those that needed it the most. We arranged food packages, and during lockdown we created and delivered these, whilst connecting with Chomp families at their doorsteps. The use of the ‘buy one give one’ initiative from the Farmers Market, along with additional emergency funding, allowed us to create boxes for families weekly. Relationships formed with these families were able to continue on the doorstep, and Chomp rose to the challenge of engaging with and providing for as many of the families as we could.
The Chomp team have made plans to deliver and support further sessions across Brighton on Hove, gaining new and existing funders and partners to donate to and facilitate the sessions. Chomp is already supported by various funders and partners including the Big Lottery, Children in Need and Brakes. In 2020 we developed those partnership relationships further through emergency funding, and offering additional wrap around care for families, as well as delivering additional training or therapeutic support to parents and carers through activities such as cookery workshops, family trips out to a local farm or to the pantomime.
**Coffee** has played a large part in what we could do in 2020. We set up a coffee roaster in Wiston in West Sussex, and spent time researching and understanding the coffee market. We took on a project leader to head up the initiative and the Skylark brand was formed. 2020 allowed us time to embed the roasting process and start to gain supporters and suppliers. Training from our barista staff took place, and our Florence Road Cafe was opened, selling Skylark coffee, but also creating and selling the coffee we had bought as beans and roasted ourselves.
## **Buildings**
We continue to utilise our two church buildings (Gloucester Place and Florence Road), making them welcoming and usable for all our projects. General maintenance and repairs continued, and as a board of trustees we regularly review the buildings and their needs to fit the requirements of our community and our hirers.
Usage of One Church buildings dramatically reduced in 2020 with the pandemic. We did utilise the sanctuary space at Florence Road to open the Cafe, which allowed a great, vast space, allowing us to open under strict social distancing rules. The staff team from March were working from home and the use of video conferencing allowed us to stay connected. Both the two buildings have continued to be used as a base for projects as well as a venue hire for other local organisations and events.
The trustees are very aware that there will need to be significant investment in our buildings over the coming years to ensure they are fit for the changing purposes of the organisation and the needs of the communities that we serve

**ONE CHURCH BRIGHTON (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**
## **Structure, governance and management**
The organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £1.
Our board of trustees meets monthly and has oversight of the organisation’s work. Individual trustees continue to work alongside staff and other volunteers on significant pieces of work, look at long-term redevelopment of our buildings and help steer project delivery and development. Trustees have played an active role in staff recruitment and management where required. Senior staff have an open route of communication with the trustees and there are regular opportunities to meet or discuss things which are open to all staff.
Staff changes inevitably happened throughout the year, including some new starters:
- New Youth Leader
- New Coffee Project Lead role created
- Fundraising – Lead role appointed
- Table Talk – Project lead role created
- Rock Farm, grower – Hours increased, for demand of the project
## **Trustee Recruitment**
During 2020, one trustee resigned and two trustees were appointed.
Trustees are appointed from within the One Church Brighton Community and the recruitment process is as follows:
- Clear information is communicated during Sunday services about the recruitment process of trustees when there is a vacancy.
- Nominations for potential trustees are sought from the Church community. People are asked to give their nominations to existing trustees without the knowledge of the nominee.
- The existing trustees meet to assess nominations against the current needs of the trusteeship to govern the church and charity well (skills, experience etc).
- Once a potential trustee is selected, that person is approached to see if they would like to be part of the team. If not, then a further selection is made or the process is restarted.
- If they accept, then the wider Church community is notified and there is a two week timeframe, where any notable objections or concerns can be received and evaluated.
- If no objections are received the new trustee is appointed.
The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year were:
## **Trustees**

**ONE CHURCH BRIGHTON (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**
## **Payment of senior members of staff**
The charity currently operates five role specific salary grades alongside the package provided to the Minister. A trustee-led subgroup is tasked to assess the organisational salary structure on an annual basis with reference to our values. This group then brings recommendations to the Board for approval. Staff may be consulted and included in any reviews but are not present at the point in any Board meeting to discuss and agree any changes.
## **Risk**
One Church Brighton has assessed the key risks it is exposed to and is satisfied that it has got the controls and systems in place to manage these.
## **Financial review**
The trustees consider the financial performance of the charity during 2020 to be healthy, under the circumstances. Funding was even more readily available than normal during 2020, with people wanting to help projects and vulnerable people during the pandemic and giving was slightly higher than expected
One Church Brighton finished the year with a small surplus.
## **Reserves Policy**
Restricted reserves continue to be held in accordance with the funding contracts. We hold 3 months’ running costs in reserve to support the charity in any difficult eventuality. Any further unrestricted reserves are sustained to provide sufficient working capital for charitable activities outside the scope of restricted funding, to support the maintenance and development of our two large church buildings and to enrich committed funding within the overall objectives of the charity.
## **Events occurring since the end of the financial year**
One Church Brighton has formed a fully owned subsidiary, OCB Initiatives Limited, which was incorporated on 6 February 2020. The subsidiary was formed in order to improve the focus and structure of our various trading initiatives, any profit from this initiative is gifted to One Church Brighton to support the projects and community buildings.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice – Accounting and Reporting by Charities and in accordance with the Special Provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

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