## **Swanfield Chapel Company Limited by Guarantee**
## **Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Directors’ Report)**
## **Year Ended 31 December 2022**
## **Structure, governance and management**
## _Company and Charity Status_
Swanfield Chapel (“the Charity”) is a company limited by guarantee and is governed by its Articles of Association. It was incorporated on 12 August 2011 and was registered with the Charity Commission in England and Wales on 23 August 2011. The trustees are the members of the Charity. They have no shareholdings but in the event of a winding up each has undertaken to contribute to the payment of liabilities such an amount as may be required not exceeding a total of £10.
## _Structure_
Swanfield Chapel is an evangelical church that from 1938 to 1972 met in Chapel Street, Chichester and from 1972 onwards in Swanfield Drive, Chichester. It was governed by a trust deed dated 12 January 1938 (the “Old Charity”). On 12 August 2011 the Trustees registered a charitable company limited by guarantee (the “New Charity”). On 1 January 2012 the activities of the Old Charity and its assets and liabilities, with the exception of the church building, were transferred to the New Charity. The church building remains in the Old Charity because the 1938 trust does not contain the power to transfer this asset. The New Charity has been granted an informal licence to occupy the building and has taken responsibility for its repair and insurance. In October 2017 the New Charity was appointed the sole trustee of the Old Charity. In this report the words “Chapel” and “Charity” are used to describe the occupying and operating entity.
## _Recruitment, Appointment and Training of Trustees_
Trustees are recruited from those who share the Charity's aims and aspirations and who, in accordance with the Charity's Articles, sign up to, abide by and live in accordance with the Charity's statement of faith. They must also have won the confidence of the members of the Chapel through their commitment and conduct and must be able to bring a breadth and depth of experience and skills to the trustee body. Prior to appointment Trustees are briefed on the Charity's activities and complete Fit and Proper Person forms and Declarations of Interests. They take seriously the obligation to maintain their knowledge.
## _Risk Management_
The Trustees have identified the major risks to which they believe the Charity is exposed and systems have been established to minimise those risks. The risks are formally reviewed at each trustees' meeting. The principal risks relate to the building and to the activities carried out in the building. In May 2019 the Trustees received safeguarding training to ensure they understood their responsibilities in this area. A Covid-19 risk assessment carried out in 2020 continued to guide the operations and activities in 2022.
## _Governance_
The overall responsibility for the Chapel rests with the Trustees who met once during the year to receive reports on the Chapel's activities. The day to day operating decisions rest with the Elders who meet formally once each month and who informally are in constant communication with each other. Deacons, who are responsible for practical matters, support the Elders and meet with them each quarter.
David Thurlow who had served as an Elder for many years retired from that office on 16 May 2022. He continues as a Trustee and an active member of the Chapel. The members of the Chapel and the Trustees are truly grateful to him for many years of dedicated and faithful service as an Elder.
The Bible gives clear guidance that Christians should be above reproach in all they do. Seeking to apply this Biblical imperative the Trustees endeavour to apply the Charity Governance Code and the Nolan principles (selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty and leadership). Furthermore believing that corruption, bribery and unfair actions hamper development and impede progress they insist on integrity in all of the Charity's activities.

## **Year Ended 31 December 2022**
## **Objectives and activities**
The Chapel seeks to honour God and demonstrate the Christian faith in action by acting as a church in the community and through support for missionary work both in the United Kingdom and overseas. This is achieved by:
- holding services for worship;
- preaching and expounding the word of God, the Bible; holding meetings for the instruction of adults, young people and children in the word of God;
- reaching out to those not of the Christian faith to make Christ known;
- encouraging interest in missionary activities.
## **Public benefit**
The trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.
They strongly believe in the public benefit of services for the worship of God, and the public benefit of activities which promote the Word of God and lead people to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour.
Individuals are taught to be responsible, to contribute to the welfare of society, to respect the authorities in society, and to show genuine care for their neighbours and the environment. The practical benefit comes through promoting happy marriages and homes where children experience love and care and grow up to become good citizens and in the provision of support to those in need.
## **Achievements and performance**
the easing and effective removal of Covid-19 restrictions allowed the gradual opening up of the Chapel's activities which during the year included:
- Services at 10.30am each Sunday morning, which were also available remotely using Zoom for those unable to attend in person and as sound recordings on the Chapel's website;
- Young people's activities during the Sunday morning service (Upper Room Group for teenagers and Kings Club for younger children);
- Ladies Bible studies on Wednesday afternoons;
- Remote prayer meetings using Zoom on Thursday evenings;
- Home Bible Studies in person and on Zoom on alternate Thursdays;
- Toddler Group each Friday morning during term time;
- Step In, a monthly group for year 3 to 7 school pupils;
- Monthly prayer meeting for the Elders and Deacons;
- Half-term Children’s Holiday Club in February;
- Good Friday Hot Cross Bun distribution in City Centre (with other churches);
- Easter Saturday activity for families and the community;
- Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee service on 5 June;
- Quiz Night on 15 October;
- Fireworks and a bonfire on 5 November;
- Life Exhibition for key stage 2 school children attended by over 400 pupils in November;
- Lunch for older people on 7 December;
- Christmas film night on 10 December;
- Carols by candle light service on Christmas Eve;
- Facebook page, which was developed during the year.

## **Year Ended 31 December 2022**
With Christians from other Chichester churches members of the Chapel participated in joint activities including the Chichester District Foodbank and the Chichester Cathedral Bell Tower Youth Drop-In.
All meetings are open to the public and to ensure no one is prevented from attending the Chapel does not charge for any activity.
## **Church Attendance**
Approximately 40 adults and children attended the Chapel’s Sunday services regularly. It is estimated that during the year a total of 150 people were present at an activity either in the building or on Zoom.
## **Pastoral support**
The Pastor Steve Davies and the Elders and Deacons together with other members of the Chapel endeavoured to provide pastoral support throughout the year.
## **Volunteers**
The majority of the activities of the Chapel are undertaken by volunteers. No record is kept of the time given on a voluntary basis but without this contribution to the Chapel it would not function.
A young lady from France, Vanessa Bazile, worked with the Chapel as a volunteer between April and July.
## **Financial review**
The Chapel’s policy for many years has been that the only collection taken up should be at the weekly 10.30am Sunday morning service. There are no fundraising activities and no charges are made for any of the Chapel’s activities. Since the onset of Covid in 2020 regular support for missionary and similar activities has been by making a gift each month from the Chapel’s unrestricted funds and added to this are any sums designated for that purpose by a donor. The intended recipient of each designated collection is announced in advance and all funds collected are remitted without deduction to the recipient. Since the funds are income of the Chapel and the intended recipient is determined by the Elders the income is designated rather than restricted and therefore the tax recovered under Gift Aid is unrestricted income. The funds from this source, together with the weekly collections and one off gifts from members of the Chapel are used for the operational costs of the Chapel.
In November the Chapel received a £5,000 grant from the Sussex Community Foundation to assist churches with additional costs resulting from opening during the winter months as warm hubs. Although held in the Chapel’s bank account at 31 December 2022 the funds have not been recognised as income of the Chapel because they were being held as bare trustee for the churches in Chichester.
During the previous year the Chapel was advised that it was the beneficiary of a £50,000 specific legacy and a share of the residue of the estate of a Chapel member. The deceased's executors paid £40,000 to the Chapel during 2022 and have advised that the balance of the specific legacy will probably be paid during 2023. The nature of the estate means that the Chapel's share of any residue cannot be estimated and therefore in accordance with the Charities SORP while the £10,000 balance of the £50,000 specific legacy has been recognised as receivable at 31 December 2022 any possible residue has not been recognised.
Excluding the legacy and investment losses there was a £29,729 deficit for the year. (2021 deficit £19,116 excluding legacies and investment gains) **.**
## **Reserves policy**
The appointment of a Pastor materially changed the Chapel’s contractual liabilities. Previously on the basis that the Chapel had no material liabilities, the Chapel’s buildings were in good order, and experience had shown that when a specific need had arisen Chapel members had provided financial support to meet the
- 6 -
## **Swanfield Chapel Company Limited by Guarantee**
## **Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Directors’ Report)**
## **Year Ended 31 December 2022**
need, the reserves policy was that there was no need to hold substantial free reserves. This policy is being reviewed.
## **Pay policy and procedures**
The Pastor’s salary was set by benchmarking against pay for individuals undertaking similar work in a church context and is reviewed annually. In the light of the impact of inflation the 2023 annual review was brought forward to September 2022. Visiting speakers who are engaged in full time Christian work are paid a fee based on the nature of the service rendered. The appropriate level of each fee is determined by the Chapel’s treasurer and reported by him to the Elders.
Trustees do not receive any payment or benefits for their work either as trustees or as volunteers. Those who are members of the Chapel contribute financially to the work of the Chapel.
## **Investment policy**
Funds not required for current needs may be invested in investments of any kind at the absolute discretion of the Trustees. £40,000 of a £50,000 legacy, which was recognised in the financial statements for the year to 31 December 2021, was received in 2022. It was decided to invest £30,000 of these funds with Cambridge and Counties Bank for a term of two years. This investment was in progress at the year end,
## **Fundraising**
As a matter of policy the Chapel does not undertake any fundraising activities.
## **Plans for future periods**
Along with other Christians, the members of the Chapel sense both the imperative of worship and the urgency to fulfil the command to go into all the world and make disciples of all nations. These two themes will continue to direct the Chapel's activities and future developments.
The Elders who include the Pastor are considering plans for the future and envisage any changes will address the age and health issues of the members which are leading to a reduced number of people able to play an active part in the Chapel’s life and a reduced number of people able to lead.
## **Independent Examiner**
James Tickell has signified his willingness to continue in office as independent examiner.

## **Trustees' Annual Report (Incorporating the Directors’ Report)**
## **Year Ended 31 December 2022**
## **Trustees' responsibilities statement**
The trustees, who are also directors 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 charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the incoming resources and application of resources, including the 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;
- observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP;
- make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
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.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included in the charity's website.
Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
## **Small company provisions**
This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small companies exemption.

## **Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Swanfield Chapel**
## **Year Ended 31 December 2022**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Swanfield Chapel for the year ended 31 December 2022.
## **Responsibility and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees and also its directors for the purposes of company law, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of Swanfield Chapel 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**
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 under section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with accounting requirements under 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 my 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.

**Notes to the Financial Statements**
## **Year Ended 31 December 2022**
## **1. General information**
The Charity is a private company limited by guarantee, registered in England and Wales and a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is 117 Swanfield Drive, Chichester, West Sussex PO19 6TD
## **2. Statement of compliance**
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011.
Swanfield Chapel meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
## **3. Accounting policies**
## **Basis of preparation**
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
## **Going concern**
There are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue.
## **Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty**
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
## **Fund accounting**
Unrestricted funds, including designated funds, are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees to further any of the Charity's purposes.
Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.
## **Incoming resources**
All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the Charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
- Income from donations, grants and legacies is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the funds, receipt is probable, and its amount can be measured reliably.
- Tax recoverable under gift aid is recognised when the relevant gift aid donation is recognised.

**Notes to the Financial Statements** _**(continued)**_
## **Year Ended 31 December 2022**
## **3.**
## **Accounting policies (continued)**
- Top-up payments under the Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme are recognised when the cash donations which form the basis of the claim are received.
- Donated facilities and services are recognised when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of volunteers.
## **Resources expended**
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred.
- Expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by the Charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries.
- Other expenditure includes all expenditure that is not expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
## **Operating leases**
There are no operating leases. Any lease payments would be recognised as an expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis. The aggregate benefit of lease incentives would be recognised as a reduction to expense over the lease term, on a straight-line basis. No value is attributed to the occupation of the Chapel building occupied by the Charity under an informal licence.
## **Tangible assets**
Tangible assets are recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
## **Furniture, equipment and fixtures and fittings**
Furniture, equipment and fixtures and fittings directly replacing existing assets or costing less than £2,000 is written off in the year of purchase. Furniture, equipment and fixtures and fittings costing more than £2,000 is capitalised. Furniture, equipment and fixtures and fittings transferred to the Charity on 1 January 2012 have not been valued.
## **Depreciation**
Freehold property is not depreciated.
Depreciation of other tangible assets is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset
## **Stocks**
Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
## **Debtors**
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

## **3. Accounting policies (continued)**
## **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.
## **Creditors and provisions**
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the Charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
## **Financial instruments**
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the Charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs. Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
## **4. Limited by guarantee**
Swanfield Chapel is a company limited by guarantee and accordingly does not have a share capital. Every member of the charitable company undertakes to contribute such amount as may be required not exceeding £10 to the assets of the charitable company in the event of its being wound up while he or she is a member, or within one year after he or she ceases to be a member.

## **9. Missionary and similar gifts**
Where a missionary has been commended by the Chapel it is the practice to support them financially. Strict compliance with the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) may regard this as constituting a constructive obligation such that future support should be accounted for in these accounts as a liability. The Elders are confident the missionaries would not view their support as an open-ended obligation by the Chapel.
