Independent Examiner's Report on the Account Report to the trustees/ CHRIST CHURCH – EAST DULWICH members of

On accounts for the year 31[st] August 2024 Charity no (if any) 1143773 ended ~~ee~~ Respective The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section responsibilities of 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act)) and that an independent examination is trustees and examiner 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 matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent My examination was conducted in accordance with General Directions given by the examiner’s statement 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 to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Statement of Accounts - For the period from 1[st] September 2023 to 31[st] August 2024

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.

The Emmanuel Saints Memorial Trust has been transferred from restricted funds into an Endowment Fund

Uncertainty

Finances continue to be impacted by cost-of-living and price inflation. Insurance and Utilities, specifically, Insurance and Water charges are up by 10% compared to last year.

Although most regular user groups have returned, lettings income is on a decline and bookings remain below pre-pandemic levels.

Last year’s revenue included a one-off benefit of £31,222 in relation to the Covid Pandemic Insurance claim.

Major Repairs and Maintenance costs were £14,689 higher than the prior year. Most of this relates to the Kitchen Refurbishment undertaken during the year and funded largely, by a URC Refurbishment Grant and the Building Funds.

The Fair-Trade Centre is performing better than last year, with a marginal increase in sales revenue and a positive contribution towards the Churches’ overheads.

There was a £4,000 URC Grant Award received towards the FTC Shop Manager’s salary. Donations and fundraising were also up, compared to last year.

The Bread of Life Café however continues to feel the effects of the difficult financial climate and decline in footfall.

REVIEW OF PROGRESS AND ACHIEVEMENTS

PUBLIC WORSHIP

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 usually took part in their own Junior Church activities for part of the worship time. Once per quarter, the service was led by the Christ Church “worship group”, made up of church members.
We make our services as accessible as possible. This includes projecting an outline of the service and words of hymns on a screen at the front of the church. The sound system has an induction loop. Services vary in style, with both traditional and modern hymns, and accompaniment either from the organ or a “digital hymnal”, when no organist is available.
Services are advertised on notice boards and signage outside the church, and on the church website.

CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE

Our Junior Church caters for children aged 5-13. Junior Church takes place on a weekly basis, apart from All Age Worship Sundays (once a month), when the children stay in church, and during August, when it takes a summer break. Since the pandemic, Junior Church activities have taken place in the café area of the church, which adjoins the main worship space.
Although Christ Church now only has a small number of young people who regularly attend our church, we continue to hugely value the part they play in our church life and consider the intergenerational aspect of our community to be special and strong.
Our young people continued to be involved in overall church life by taking an active part in weekly worship, including being part of the bible reading rota, and sharing their activities at church meetings. They co-led the Christingle service in December 2023 and the Palm Sunday service in April 2024.
We no longer run a creche but under 5s are welcome to play in the café area and we offer baby changing facilities.

BROWNIES

The 8[th] East Dulwich (Christ Church) Brownies continued to meet in the church’s back hall on Friday evenings (term-time).
The Brown Owl was supported by a rota of parent helpers, as well as two students and a young leader who had recently done her Duke of Edinburgh Award with the group.
The Brownies worked on various badges during the year and as part of their “collectors” badge visited the Horniman Museum. As part of their badge work, they also raised money for Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.

COMMUNITY

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 church’s day to day practical outreach work.

Bread of Life Café

The church’s Bread of Life Cafe provides a place for the local community to meet and enjoy refreshments from a broad menu of reasonably-priced snacks and meals. Open to the public on weekdays, the café remains open during school holidays but with reduced hours. It also caters for various church events, such as funerals.
Café trade continued to feel the effects of the cost-of-living crisis and remained below prepandemic levels.
The church’s main worship space continued to be used to extend the café’s seating area, allowing diners to be well spaced-out (this arrangement began during the pandemic period).
The Café and Fair Trade Centre work closely together and the cafe

Fair Trade Centre (FTC)

Christ Church’s Fair Trade Centre (FTC) is the last church-based fair trade centre in London. We believe that the FTC provides an important role in raising awareness of fair trade, provides a service for the local community, and helps our global neighbours through the sale of fair trade products.
The FTC was open five and a half days a week (Monday – Friday, 10am – 2pm, and Saturdays 10am – 1pm), run by a part-time manager and a team of 12 committed volunteers. The FTC manager worked six paid hours per week. Volunteers were a diverse group and mixture of Christ Church members, members of other local churches and others from the local community of no faith background.
During this period, the FTC Manager salary was partly paid via church funds, and partly through grant-funding and individual donations. November 2023 marked the beginning of a 4-year grant from the URC’s Strategic Mission Fund (£4,000 per year).
We created a three-year FTC Action Plan to enable us to set clear goals for the FTC, and to monitor progress against these. We also created a FTC environmental policy.
The FTC continued to promote fair trade to the church and community through its events and activities. In 2023-24, these included:
a. holding a Fair Trade Breakfast event at Christ Church in December 2023, for church and community, and a fair trade church service during Green Week, in June 2024

263 Barry Rd. East Dulwich SE22 0JT

www.cced.org.uk

b. running off-site fair trade stalls and doing fair trade talks at local churches; running fair trade stalls at other local venues, such as Carnegie Library
c. running a monthly stall at Christ Church, following morning worship, once a month
d. holding a fair trade service in Green Week, drawing attention to the climate crisis and the need to look after our planet and each other
e. continuing to raise awareness through social media and by engaging with local councillors, to encourage them to do more for fair trade. We were visited by our new MP, Ellie Reeves (Labour MP for Lewisham West and East Dulwich).
f. supporting fair trade campaigns, such as Tearfund’s “Send a Lemon” campaign, Fair Trade Foundation’s petition to protect forests and farmers. and various Transform Trade campaigns, including highlighting fair trade issues before the 2024 general election.
The FTC continued to be an active part of key fair trade networks, including BAFTS (British Association of Fair Trade Shops and Suppliers).
The FTC continued to offer a sale or return service to the local community. Both Christ Church and our sister church, Herne Hill United Church, continued to buy supplies from the centre e.g. toilet rolls and hand sanitiser.
We improved FTC sales by investing in a card reader, for use in the FTC and off-site stalls. Volunteers received training to use it.
We diversified our list of fair trade suppliers, including ordering from Ethical Shop and Transform Trade, and expanded our range to include eco-friendly and sustainable products.
We secured a blog interview in the Methodist Recorder, to coincide with World Fair Trade Day, and an article in our local SE22 magazine, featuring our FTC Manager.

Warm Hub

The Christ Church “Warm Hub” initiative was launched in January 2023, providing a weekly opportunity for members of the local community – especially older people and those who might be lonely or isolated – to meet for refreshments, fellowship and mutual support. The Warm Hub began in response to the cost-of-living crisis and has quickly become a popular and successful weekly outreach for the local community.
The Warm Hub takes place in the church café on Wednesday mornings, and is now known as the “Wednesday Warm Hub and Friendship Group”. It is run by a committed team of volunteers from both church and community, in partnership with the church cafe. It has around 20 members and an average weekly attendance of around 14. The group is open to all but mostly attracts people who might be considered as being on the margins of society. Members are supported by the volunteers but they also support and help each other.
Over the year the group benefited from a £1120 grant from Southwark Council Neighbourhoods Fund and a £700 grant from United St Saviour’s Charity.

USE OF BUILDINGS

The church buildings continue to be used by two church congregations - Christ Church and Gateway Ministries - for services, meetings and other activities. They are also used by many community groups and individuals, hiring rooms for their own events and activities, both during the week and at weekends.
2023-24 regular lettings included: several children’s groups (Heartbeeps, Funky Monkey, Tiny Tots, Brownies and a childminders’ group); Opal Flutes (adult music group) and Alcoholics Anonymous. Barry House women’s group also used the back hall for six weeks during winter 2023 (Barry House is situated next door to Christ Church and provides Home Office initial accommodation for people seeking asylum in the UK).
During the year, roofing work was carried out at the back of the rear hall and over the church kitchen area. The recently refurbished kitchen was also decorated.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

At 31 August 2024 there were no funds in deficit but overall funds had reduced by 13% compared with the previous year. The income position reflects the diminishing church membership (less offertory income), and lettings income which is still below pre-pandemic levels; however, it is also skewed by a significant, one-off insurance reclaim payment received in the previous year.
Major repairs and maintenance costs were £14,689 higher than the prior year. Most of this related to a one-off kitchen refurbishment undertaken during the year, funded by a URC grant and the church’s buildings funds.
The church's reserves policy is to maintain General Fund reserves at least equal to 6 months’ expenditure. The General Fund represents church funds that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application to the general purposes of the church. Sources of funds are weekly offerings, tax recoveries, donations, lettings income, grants and the sale of fairly-traded goods.
The General Fund balance at the end of the year was unusually low (£544). It is anticipated that the General Fund position will be more robust by the end of August 2025; no major one-off costs are anticipated and the Elders are taking a number of measures to improve financial sustainability, including grant fundraising, reviewing utilities costs and increasing lettings income.

Independent Examiner's Report on the Account Report to the trustees/ CHRIST CHURCH – EAST DULWICH members of

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 matters have come to my attention.

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 2023 to 31[st] August 2024

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.

The Emmanuel Saints Memorial Trust has been transferred from restricted funds into an Endowment Fund

Uncertainty

Finances continue to be impacted by cost-of-living and price inflation. Insurance and Utilities, specifically, Insurance and Water charges are up by 10% compared to last year.

Although most regular user groups have returned, lettings income is on a decline and bookings remain below pre-pandemic levels.

Last year’s revenue included a one-off benefit of £31,222 in relation to the Covid Pandemic Insurance claim.

The Fair-Trade Centre is performing better than last year, with a marginal increase in sales revenue and a positive contribution towards the Churches’ overheads.

There was a £4,000 URC Grant Award received towards the FTC Shop Manager’s salary. Donations and fundraising were also up, compared to last year.

The Bread of Life Café however continues to feel the effects of the difficult financial climate and decline in footfall.
