ONE CHURCH BRIGHTON (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
The One Church Brighton Trustees present their report and accounts for the period ended 31 December 2021.
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 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 East and West Sussex.
Our wide ranging projects have been funded by our congregation, a range of businesses and organisations, and various local funders.
The key beneficiaries of our activities are:
-
Young people – including 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 2021
Activities, Performance and Achievements (continued)
One Church has a fully owned subsidiary company, OCB Initiatives Limited, which exists to operate revenue generating activities in the One Church community, with an emphasis on social enterprise. OCB Initiatives Limited donates its profits to One Church to fund its projects. Of the activities described below, Florence Road Market, Florence Road Café, and Skylark coffee are operated by OCB Initiatives Limited.
During 2021, One Church and the communities in which it operates, continued to be impacted by the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic. During the first half of the year, many of our projects ran reduced programmes as face to face interaction had to be limited, and lockdown restrictions prevented some meetings. Our church services continued to be broadcast online.
During the second half of the year, as restrictions eased, we recommenced Sunday morning services at Florence Road, whilst continuing to stream our services online for those who could not, or preferred not, to attend in person.
By the end of the year, most of our projects were operating as normal.
During 2021 the Florence Road Market , our weekly farmers’ market and community hub, continued to capitalise on the pandemic-driven surge of interest in local food, coffee and safe gathering spaces. Although the spike in sales experienced during the Covid-19 lockdowns levelled off, the market continued to operate at a much higher level than before. Through the market we have helped new traders get started, engaged a raft of new volunteers in market roles, and generated free or subsidised vegetable boxes to marginalised groups.
Operating on the strength of the market’s community profile, our weekday Florence Road Café based inside the church building, stabilised and grew with a full-time manager. The café offers plentiful space for distanced seating and working, and selling in-house food and fresh produce including and our own brand Skylark coffee. The café has grown steadily and become a hub for community gatherings and staff office work. The café is also used as a supportive space for Pro Baristas trainees to gain valuable work experience before moving into paid employment elsewhere.
Our barista training school, Pro Baristas , resumed its busy schedule of teaching and mentoring as Covid-19 restrictions eased. We trained many job seekers at a fast pace as the café sector rapidly sprung back into business, and people began to contemplate their preferred careers. We revived our weekly drop-in for people in need of extra support, community and a safe space, with coffee as the backdrop. The need for more time and support became clear in 2021 as many trainees showed signs of post-lockdown anxiety and increased mental health needs.
Skylark Coffee started in 2020 within One Church’s trading subsidiary, One Church Initiatives Limited, operating as a social enterprise, roasting and shipping coffee from a stable block in West Sussex. Leveraging the staff’s coffee expertise, Skylark began supplying cafés, our in-house projects such as the Florence Road Café, and selling direct to consumers. Seeking to redress the unfairness in the coffee supply chain, Skylark pledged to give £1 for every kilo of coffee sold to coffee producing communities and local nature conservation. Remaining profits are gifted to support other One Church projects that are dependent on funding. Skylark has grown rapidly, quickly gaining the attention of coffee industry experts and adding a new component to the Pro Baristas curriculum.
Rock Farm continued to add to both its food production and therapeutic offering in 2021, while forging new partnerships to engage more marginalised people from nearby cities and enhance biodiversity in West Sussex. We took on more referrals with higher support needs and added to our therapeutic support staff to better structure wellbeing activities for both volunteers and referrals. We began providing vegetables to a new restaurant and other buyers, incubated two new growing start-up projects, and supported another community farm to get started in East Sussex. We have also secured a long-term agreement with a charity in London for funding and collaboration.

ONE CHURCH BRIGHTON (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Activities, Performance and Achievements (continued)
The aim of our youth work, One Youth , is to increase self-confidence of young people and to increase participation and involvement in local community activities and school. Three pillars underpin everything One Youth does: Wellbeing (a sense of unequivocal welcome and holistic nurturing), Interconnection (connecting with each other, and challenging the narratives around us) and the Arts (finding words and images to tell the stories young people want to tell).
Under the leadership of the youth leader, the reach, tone and depth of our One Youth project developed significantly in 2021, including the growth of our open access youth groups; the launch of a LGBTQ+ support youth group called ‘Misfits’ based at Brighton Metropolitan College; the development of new lunch clubs; oneto-one mentoring; and the creation of Bible focussed and contemplative groups for our church youth group.
While our Thursday church youth group was able to meet throughout 2021, due to Covid-19 restrictions, our Sunday youth provision only recommenced in September 2021.
One Youth has grown its work with the Brighton branch of Citizens UK. In May to October 2021, our Thursday Youth group was involved in a listening campaign, successfully committing local MPs and NHS leaders at a One Church-hosted convention to improve key areas within local mental health services for young people.
In summer 2021, One Youth successfully applied for a Covid-relief grant (COMF) from Brighton & Hove City Council. This enabled us to start offering additional evening provision to Misfits, our new LGBTQIA+ lunch club. Through this work a programme of workshops is being delivered in 2022, and One Youth has been able to develop exciting partnerships with other local arts-based and mental health youth organisations/charities.
Cis-female, trans and gender non-binary young people presenting mental health struggles are significantly overrepresented across our youth groups. In an evaluation survey in 2021 of one of our groups, young people communicated with us how important the availability of a safe space, the sense of community, and story-sharing aspects are to them. This has shaped the spaces we offer across our youth groups.
The Big Lottery has supported our youth work through funding. As this comes to an end in December 2022, we are hoping to secure further funding for the current youth worker to continue his role, and to employ a second youth worker.
Chomp is passionate about supporting families with children who find themselves in challenging circumstances. 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 as support is furthered through partnered stakeholders, ranging from the local council, charities, clubs and the wider One Church community.
As Covid-19 restrictions eased in 2021, we were able to resume running lunch clubs during lockdowns but with strict limits on numbers and measures put in place. Nevertheless Chomp has continued to reach more families who need support in 2021. During the year, the Chomp project, in conjunction with its partners, ran around 100 lunch and activity clubs, supporting over 200 families or 500 people. We have enabled cookery workshops, wellbeing days, visits to our therapeutic growing project Rock Farm, and supported young mothers through barista training and beginners’ running courses. Through the Brighton Grub Hub we delivered a total of 428 food boxes to families who needed them.
A number of alliances and partnerships have helped Chomp to increase its support to families, including the creation of Chomp partners in the wider Brighton and Hove area who run similar initiatives under the Chomp name, running cookery classes with a local wellbeing therapist, partnering with the Brighton & Hove women’s running club, and the provision of kitchen equipment for our cooker classes by a national retailer. Chomp is a member of the Brighton & Hove Emergency Food network, whose other member agencies have referred a new cohort of families to us. In 2021 the Department of Education funded the Holiday Activity and Food programme to support children on free school meals. Chomp has been able to draw on this funding for most of its clubs.

ONE CHURCH BRIGHTON (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
We believe we are now meeting a higher proportion of our target group than before the Covid-19 pandemic.
Three of our projects have unfortunately ceased to operate in recent months:
-
Our rural Christian residential community at Buncton Manor Farm , a place created and shaped to offer accommodation to support people in crisis or experiencing vulnerability, was one of our operations severely impacted by the pandemic. Whilst the first guests were received into the house in September 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic meant that this project became onerous to manage and it didn’t move beyond a very small community living together. A decision was made early in 2021 to close the project, and the last residents left in May 2021.
-
Table Talk , which aimed to tackle social isolation by making café culture more friendly to those who might appreciate connection and conversation, closed in November 2021 when funding for the project ceased and no further funding was available.
-
Harbour , the counselling service which provided much needed support to couples dealing with grief from the loss of a baby, closed in April 2022 when it could no longer provide the required level of counselling resource to run the project effectively.
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. In November 2021 we were successful in obtaining funding for more significant improvements to Florence Road, improving disabled access and the kitchen and toilet facilities. These works are underway in 2022.
Until August 2021, One Church received rental income from a residential property in Brangwyn Avenue on the outskirts of Brighton, which was held in trust by the Baptist Union. A decision was made to sell the property to the sitting tenant, with a view to purchasing another residential property in Brighton, closer to our local community. The proceeds from the sale of the property were £560,000 less selling costs. These funds are held by the Baptist Union and are available for a future property purchase. The search for a suitable property is ongoing.
The Trustees continue to explore how we can make our buildings more relevant to the needs of the local and church community.
For some years now we have been hoping to register our buildings to enable them to be legally used for SameSex Marriage ceremonies. The drawn-out complications of the amalgamation process had previously hampered this but in July we were delighted when the church partners voted overwhelmingly to make this happen, We have since completed the paperwork with the General Registry Office to make the changes and we are very much looking forward to future weddings taking place at One Church, whatever the sexuality of the couples involved.
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 Trustee Board 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.

ONE CHURCH BRIGHTON (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Trustee Recruitment
There were no changes to the Trustees during 2021. The Trustees have been appointed from within the One Church 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
David Steell (Chair)
Andrew Barr (Company Secretary)
Mark Campbell
Naomi Herbert
Avril Mackenzie Parr
Richard Mead
Helen Scott
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 Trustee 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 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.

ONE CHURCH BRIGHTON (LIMITED BY GUARANTEE) TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Financial review
One Church made a small deficit of £17,117 in the year ended 31 December 2021. The Trustees consider the financial performance of the charity during 2021, and the net funding position as at 31 December 2021, to be satisfactory in the current economic conditions.
Reserves Policy
Restricted reserves continue to be held in accordance with 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.
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.
