TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022
The trustees, who are the charity's directors for the purposes of company law, have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts for the year.
Objects of the charity
The charity is a charitable company and is governed by its memorandum and articles of association. The objects of the charity, as set out in the governing document are:
a) to advance the Christian religion in accordance with the clear and plain meaning of the Basis of Faith and the Distinctives for the benefit of the public and the glory of God; and
b) such other charitable purposes for the public benefit as are exclusively charitable in accordance with the laws of England and Wales and as the Managing Trustees consider appropriate
Summary of the charity's main activities and achievements
To further the above objects and vision, the charity's main activities and achievements were as follows:
The Risen Christ has sustained us as we continued to navigate the ever-changing restrictions to gather for worship each Lord’s Day. He heard our prayers as we reconvened for in-person prayer each Sunday evening, having provided St. Simon’s church for us as a new venue. And he strengthened us as Community Groups returned to the regular pattern of eating, Bible study and prayer. But even if this is unsurprising, it is no less cause for us to be grateful, and there is so much more that we can thank God for over the past year.
New Leaders and Staff
After an extended search for an Assistant Pastor, the Lord led us to Malcolm Cunningham. The Cunninghams joined us from South Africa, where Malcolm led Knysna Baptist Church for the last decade. We are thankful for financial provision that enables us to create this role, but we are especially thankful for the Lord leading us to Malcolm and the experience and capacity he will contribute to the ministry here in Shepherd’s Bush.
We are grateful that the Lord has raised up Paul Angell to serve as an Elder among us. He has been a part of TW from the start and it is a joy to see him step into this role. As we welcomed Paul, Tom Roberts concluded his second term as an Elder, having served faithfully for 6 years. We are very thankful for his ministry and are grateful that he has rejoined the Eldership for a further term in November 2022.
In June 2022, after 12 years of ministry to plant Trinity West Church, Reuben Hunter resigned from his position as Lead Pastor to pursue further theological study. Reuben's ministry and vision to reach the local community of Shepherd's Bush has laid a solid foundation at Trinity West Church, and the Lord has continued to bless the work since his departure.
Louisa Hunter also resigned as Women's Ministry Coordinator, after a faithful season of self-sacrifice and persistent love for the church and its women.
We are also thankful for new Deacons in the last year. Again, after excellent service, Geraldine Sparks and Louisa Hunter stepped down from their respective roles and Chloe Roberts was appointed as Deacon of TW Kids. Chloe has made a great start and TW Kids continues to thrive under her care.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022
Summary of the charity's main activities and achievements (continued)
In December Ruth Lewis began work as our Administrative Assistant, to provide support to our Church Manager, Thomas Leonard, in the church office.
Most the charity's activities are undertaken by volunteers and the charity could not operate effectively without their efforts.
New Initiatives
The women of TW were well catered for through the two-pronged ‘Women in the Word’ and ‘Women in the World’ series. Louisa Hunter, our former Women’s Ministry Co-ordinator, led a careful reading of the OT books of Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua and Judges. She also provided a biblical overview of God’s design for women as well as a biblical analysis of the feminist movement to help equip the women for faithful living in these days.
As well as that we had our first church weekend away. We decamped to High Leigh in Hertfordshire to restore friendships, make some new ones, and remember what it was like to be in one another’s company again.
Although technically not new things, it was a joy to renew our acquaintance with the Carol Service at Christmas. Our volunteers turned Edward Woods into a picture of festive joy to celebrate the birth of our Saviour. We had a great turnout with many friends coming along and hearing the gospel preached.
We were also able to get back to hosting training seminars with some teaching on parenting as well as a session on what will be required if the enduring church will prevail in our current cultural climate. (We know it will, but what will it take from us to see that happen). In April 2022, we held two informal evangelistic talks titled “Hope?”, set in a local Ethiopian restaurant attended by church members and friends who heard the gospel and participated in a Q&A afterwards.
Children's and Teens' Ministry
TW Kids ministry continued to run on Sundays, including Creche (0-2 years), Beginners (Nursery – Year 2) and Seniors (Years 3-6), using material from Mustard Seeds. Each group was run by servanthearted volunteers who received training on how to run the lessons, in safeguarding, and have undergone DBS checks.
The youth group for teenagers, TW Teens, continues to be run by members of the church on a biweekly basis, meeting to share a meal, discuss God’s word and pray.
Growing Membership
Another cause for gratitude this year has been how the Lord continues to grow our number. Overall, we have seen new people coming into membership and more regular unbelievers attending on Sundays than we have seen for a long time. God’s church continues.
Mission Partners
The church also continues to support global mission through its Mission Partners in Slovakia, Sweden, and Italy. Our annual allocation to mission giving will change in 2022-2023 from 10% of expenditure to 10% of income, as a way to grow our support as we grow.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022
Summary of the charity's main activities and achievements (continued)
Local Social Fund
Trinity West Church has also been actively involved in the local community and funding from the Local Social Care Fund was allocated to meet various needs and support charities in the local area. £1,500 will again be allocated to the Local Social Care Fund next year.
In planning the activities the Trustees have applied the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.
Structure, Governance and Management
Responsibility for setting policy and for determining the parameters within which the charity should operate rests with the trustees who meet regularly to monitor the activities of the charity. Responsibility for the day to day operation of the charity has been delegated to a senior management team. New trustees are recruited from among the church membership.
Financial review
During the year income increased by £16,096, to £262,989, and expenditure increased by £62,607, to £260,147. As a result surplus for the year decreased by £46,510, to £2,843, and the charity's net assets increased by the same amount, to £284,759, all of which are represented by net current assets.
This year, the church approved an ambitious and financially stretching budget as we anticipated hiring an Assistant Pastor to start in April 2021. In the Lord's providence, Malcolm Cunningham joined us as our Assistant Pastor almost a full year later. While the staff team has grown as Ruth Lewis has also come on board and we held the inaugural Church Weekend Away, expenditure in other categories has been lower than budgeted.
Reserves policy
The Reserves Policy was amended to provide a greater balance of prudence and flexibility. The church will maintain general reserves equal to the greater of: 3 months of operating expenditure in the current annual budget; or 12 months of projected deficit in the current annual budget.
As such, the trustees have determined that the charity should aim to hold unrestricted cash of no less than £99,645 (equivalent to the 12 months of projected deficit in the current annual budget) so that the charity could continue to operate should income and / or expenditure vary adversely.
Key risks and uncertainties
The charity is exposed to various risks - be they operational, financial or reputational. The trustees review the charity's activities regularly to identify significant risks and, where possible, they take appropriate measures to mitigate those risks.
Plans for the future
We are thankful for all that God has done in and through TW this year. As we take this gratitude forward we are praying that He will continue to use us to plant the gospel in this part of London for His glory, for the good of this community and for the generations to come.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022
Responsibilities of trustees under company law
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' annual 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 year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. 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 the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume
that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that 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.
Approval
This report, which has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies, was approved by the trustees and signed on their behalf by:

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF
TRINITY CHURCH WEST LONDON ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2022 on pages 7 to 17 following, which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out on pages 9 to 10.
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 the Company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland, 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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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
-
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.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022
1 Statutory Information
The charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee and is incorporated in the United Kingdom. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.
2 Accounting Policies
These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the "Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) ("the Charities SORP"), with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102"), with the Companies Act 2006 and with the Charities Act 2011. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as set out in FRS 102.
The principles adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.
a) Going concern
The trustees (who are the charitable company's directors for the purposes of company law) have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular the trustees have considered the charity's forecasts and projections and the possible implications should projected income and / or expenditure vary unexpectedly. The trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
b) Income
Income including investment income is recognised in the period in which the charity becomes entitled to receipt, the amount receivable can be measured with reasonable certainty, and receipt is probable. For the most part, income is generally recognised when it is received. Income is only deferred when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor has specified that the income is to be expended in a future period.
Income from donations and legacies includes:
- i) Recoverable gift aid. This is recognised when the related donation is received. Gift aid that has not been recovered by the balance sheet date is included as a debtor.
The charity relies on volunteers to carry out many of its activities. However, in accordance with the SORP, the value of these services has not been included in these financial statements as they cannot be reliably measured.
iii) Legacies. Income from legacies is recognised when a distribution is received from the estate or, if earlier, when the charity has been notified that a distribution will be made and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.
Income from charitable activities represents income receivable from goods, services and facilities supplied in furtherance of the charity's charitable objects. It includes income from church retreats and other events and courses.
c) Expenditure
Expenditure, including irrecoverable VAT, is recognised when it is incurred or, if earlier, when a legal or constructive obligation for a payment arises provided that it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured
The charity makes grants to other institutions and individuals to further its charitable objectives. Grants payable are recognised as constructive obligations arise, which is generally when the charity expresses a commitment to the recipient that can be measured reliably and then only to the extent that any conditions associated with the grant are outside of the control of the charity.
The cost of raising funds is not significant and has not been separately disclosed.
Governance costs, which are included in expenditure on charitable activities but are identified separately in the notes to the accounts, includes costs associated with the independent examination of the financial statements, compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements and any other expenditure incurred on the strategic management of the charity.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2022
d) Fund accounting
- General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are donations which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors; they include donations received from appeals for specific activities or projects.
e) Tangible fixed assets
Items purchased or donated for the charity's own use are capitalised when the cost of purchased items, or the fair value of donated items, is more than £1,000 and the item is expected to benefit the charity over more than one accounting period. Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis so as to write down the value of each asset to its estimated residual value (if any) over its expected useful economic life. To achieve this objective the following rates of depreciation are charged:
Equipment Over 3 to 7 years
The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment in periods when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
f) Pension scheme arrangements
The charity operates defined contribution pension schemes for its employees. Obligations for contributions to these schemes are recognised as an expense when the liability arises. The assets of these schemes are held separately from those of the charity in independently administered funds.
g) Taxation
The company is a registered charity; it has taken advantage of the various reliefs from taxation available to charities and no tax is payable on the charity's income.
h) Financial instruments The charity's financial assets and financial liabilities all qualify as basic financial instruments, as defined by FRS102. Except for loans, creditors and debtors are measured at their expected settlement value (normally the amount of cash that the charity expects to pay or receive). The charity recognises liabilities for the principal of those loans that remains outstanding at the year end (i.e. the liabilities exclude any interest chargeable on the loans in future years).
i) Exemption from preparing a cashflow statement
The charity has taken advantage of an exemption conferred by the Charities SORP and has not prepared a cash flow statement.
j) Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement The trustees do not consider that there are any material sources of estimation or uncertainty at the balance sheet date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities in the next reporting period.

This includes expenditure incurred by the charity totalling £8,372 (2021: £0) on behalf of Malcolm Cunningham in respect of the customary provision of accomodation, so that he could better perform his duties. In addition, the charity incurred expenditure of £4,380 relating to his relocation from South Africa to the United Kingdom to take up the position of Assistant Pastor.
The charity's governing document does not permit the employment of a majority of trustees (or parties related to trustees). The employment of the wife of one trustee from December 2021 (see note 13) meant that a majority of trustees were paid. The position was rectified in November 2022. The trustees took legal advice in relation to this matter and based on that advice have concluded that it is not necessary to report this incident to the Charity Commission. The trustees are also reviewing the relevant processes and policies to ensure that such errors will not reoccur in future.
