REVIEW OF PROGRESS AND ACHIEVEMENTS
- 2019-20 was an unprecedented year in the life of Christ Church, the second half encompassing the first few months of the COVID-19 pandemic. From the first national lockdown, beginning March 2020, all activities were suspended in line with government guidelines. Further detail is provided under each heading below.
PUBLIC WORSHIP
-
The church was open for worship each week until the first national lockdown. It reopened, with COVID-19 safety precautions in place, at the end of August 2020 (see “Use of Buildings” – points 25 - 27).
-
Until that point, worship services were held every Sunday and on other Christian festivals, usually led either by an ordained minister or lay preacher. “All Age Worship” was held once per month - a more informal service designed for both children and adults. On other Sundays the children took part in their own Junior Church activities for part of the worship time.
-
We make our services as accessible as possible. An outline of the service and words of hymns are displayed on a screen and hymn books are available for those that prefer them. The sound system has an induction loop. Services vary in style, with traditional and modern hymns accompanied by organ, keyboard or guitar.
-
Services are advertised on notice boards, café tables and through the church website.
CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE
-
Our Junior Church caters for children aged 5-12 and we also provide a crèche for under 5s.
-
Over the past year our Junior Church sessions ran until the start of the first COVID-19 lockdown in March 2020. No further sessions were run for the rest of the year.
-
In normal times, Junior Church takes place on a weekly basis, apart from All Age Worship Sundays (once a month), when the children stay in church. The children remain in church for the first part of regular Sunday services (around 20 minutes), during which there is usually a children’s address.
-
In 2019-20 we had a core group of six children who attended regularly – four in the 5-12 age group and two aged under 5.
-
We continued to use Roots magazine as the main resource for our sessions, providing a range of ways to present the weekly lectionary to our young people e.g. through bible reading, discussion, crafts and other activities.
-
The children continued to take an active part in the overall life of the church, including several special services during the year. In 2019-20 these included:
-
A harvest service held at The Elms, a residential home for older people
-
Christ Church’s annual “Gift” service at Christmas

The children are actively involved in preparing for these services and participating through reading, prayers and in other ways. The services are also a great way to keep involving our young people of secondary school age who no longer come to Junior Church.
-
Junior Church now takes a regular part in the bible reading rota, doing the bible readings for All Age Worship services. This is greatly appreciated by the congregation.
-
Junior Church also continued to contribute to quarterly church meetings, sharing what they had been working on with church members.
2
Brownies
- The Brownies continued to meet on Friday evenings, until the start of the national lockdown in March 2020. Up until that point, numbers had remained good; although some of the girls left to join the guides, new brownies joined and there was a waiting list.
19.The Brown Owl was supported by a rota of parent helpers and two former Brownies who volunteered as part of their Duke of Edinburgh Award.
- No sessions have been held since March 2020.
COMMUNITY
The Bread of Life Project
- The Bread of Life project exists to enable Christ Church - with other local churches and community groups - to develop further the sense of community in the local neighbourhood and to promote the vision of a fair trading system for the wider world community, campaign for a healthier local community, explore the possibility of meeting specific needs among those who are socially excluded and to demonstrate faith in action through the churches’ day to day practical outreach work.
The Bread of Life Café
-
Until March 2020, the café was open to the public on weekdays, providing a broad menu of reasonably-priced snacks and meals and a place to meet friends. The Thursday pensioners lunch continued to be very popular.
-
The café is staffed by paid caterers and volunteer “deacons”. The deacons’ role is to welcome and chat to customers and to help clear up tables when needed. Most of the deacons are from the Christ Church congregation and so represent the church, bringing ministry and pastoral care to the wider community.
-
The café remains open during school holidays but with reduced hours. It also caters for various church events, such as funerals.
25.The café sadly had to close from March – September 2020 due to COVID-19.
The Fair Trade Centre (FTC)
- Until March 2020, the FTC continued to open five and a half days a week and was run by a part-time manager and 19 volunteers. The manager was part-paid, part-volunteer.

www.cced.org.uk
-
The FTC was closed from March – August 2020 due to the pandemic. It reopened from September 2020 with reduced hours and in line with government guidance. The FTC Manager was able to continue working during the lockdown, both from home and at the FTC. A pickup service for regular customers was offered during the lockdown period.
-
The FTC continued to promote fair trade to the church and community through its events and activities, though these were naturally restricted this year. Until March 2020 a fair trade stall was offered once a month after Sunday morning worship. The FTC also continued to raise awareness through regular newsletters, a Facebook page and by supporting campaigns.
-
Happily the FTC was still able to take an active part in Fairtrade Fortnight, which in 2020 was from 24 February – 8 March. The event aims to increase awareness of the global mission and philosophy of fair trade. This year’s focus was on chocolate and cocoa farmers, especially women farmers. Events included:
-
A fair trade breakfast, attended by Helen Hayes and MP and Councillor Maggie Browning.
-
A fair trade church service
-
A fair trade stall at Southwark Council (Tooley Street)
-
The FTC continued to work with the public sector to promote Fair Trade, including:
-
The FTC manager speaking at a Southwark Council meeting
-
Attending London Fair Trade Steering Groups meetings, latterly via Zoom
USE OF BUILDINGS
-
Until March 2020, the church buildings continued to be used by two church congregations - Christ Church and Gateway Ministries – for services, meetings and other activities. They were also used by many community groups and individuals, hiring rooms for their own events and activities, both during the week and at weekends.
-
From the start of the first national lockdown, the building was closed to all users. A few of the children’s groups who had been using the building returned over the summer, when permitted by government regulations and following a thorough risk assessment process. The church reopened at the end of August 2020, with robust COVID-19 safety precautions in place, including socially distanced seating. A Risk Assessment Committee – made up of Elders, church members and the church’s Lettings Officer – was formed to oversee the process.
-
In line with guidance from the Methodist Church, basic building maintenance took place whilst the building was shut, such as running the water on a weekly basis to keep it clean.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
34.The reserves policy is to maintain general fund reserves at least equal to 6 months expenditure. Sources of funds are weekly offerings, tax recoveries, donations, lettings and grants and the sale of fairly-traded goods.
35.As a result of the building closure from March to August 2020 there was a shortfall of income to cover the day to day running costs of the church and general fund balances of £3,887 were used to support this shortfall. Fair Trade Centre funds of £1,686 were used to support employee costs. The value of Endowment Fund investments went down by £2,503.
- However at 31[st] August 2020 there are no funds in deficit and the general fund reserve remains in line with the reserves policy.

Independent Examiner's Report on the Accounts
~~•~~ Report to the trustees/ members of CHRIST CHURCH – EAST DULWICH On accounts for the year 31[st] August 2020 Charity no (if any) 1143773 ended Respective The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year responsibilities of (under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act)) and that an trustees and examiner independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to
-
examine the accounts (under section 43 of the Act),
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 43(7)(b) of the Act), and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
- My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
Independent examiner's In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention statement which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:
-
proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 41 of the Act); and
-
accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act; or

Statement of Accounts For the period from 1[st] September 2019 to 31[st] August 2020
ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation of accounts
The accounts are prepared in accordance with the historic cost convention and with applicable accounting standards and the Statement of Recommended Practice for charity accounts.
The accounts have been prepared on an ‘accruals’ basis.
It is not considered relevant to include a valuation for the Church land and buildings on the Balance Sheet. The building and its contents are insured for £6.4m.
Funds
The General Fund represents funds of the church that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application to the general purposes of the church.
Other funds of the church are either designated, where money has been earmarked for specific purposes, or restricted to be used for the purposes for which the money was given.
The Benevolence Fund is for special offerings which are used to make donations in cash or kind to individuals and relief agencies.
COVID-19
2019/20 has been an exceptional year due to the coronavirus pandemic and the Government restrictions in place from March 2020 to limit the spread of the virus. In accordance with Government requirements the building was closed from March to August 2020 . All lettings income ceased for that period with the exception of Gateways Ministries who continued to pay a reduced contribution. Voluntary income from church offerings was reduced as there were no collections during the closure. However offerings continued to be received by standing orders and others made their offerings for this period when church services resumed in the building. All offerings relating to 2019/20 received in September and October 2020 have been accrued and included in the annual income figure.
There was a reduction in expenditure due to the closure of the building but this did not completely offset the loss of income due to ongoing costs of maintaining the building. As a result General Fund expenditure exceeded income by £3,887 instead of the anticipated surplus. This was met from balances which remain at an acceptable level.
The impact of the pandemic has continued to affect income into the financial year 2020/21 and will have longer term implications especially regarding lettings income.

| The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act)) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to • examine the accounts (under section 43 of the Act), • to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 43(7)(b) of the Act), and • to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts. |
Independent examiner's In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention statement which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:
-
proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 41 of the Act); and
-
accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act; or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
