The church is affiliated to the General Assembly of the True Jesus Church (UK). 

## Organisational Structure 

The members are any persons baptised in the True Jesus Church, within the vicinity of Newcastle, and they are eligible to speak, vote, elect and be elected at the General Meeting of Members. The General Meeting of Members is the highest decision-making meeting.

At the Annual General Meeting of Members, members are elected to form the Church Board and to carry out the administrative functions of the Church. Each member of the Board serves for a period of three years but is eligible for re-election for any number of terms. All Board members are honorary. Three of the board members serve as the Executive Committee under the three sections: Religious Affairs, General Affairs, and Financial Affairs. 

## Church Board training 

The current Church Board have held their posts for several years and are fully conversant with the work of the charity. Should a Trustee leave between AGMs then the remaining Trustees will meet to appoint a new Trustee based on their skills and experience. The existing Trustees will mentor the new Trustee until they are familiar with the day to day workings and aims of the charity, and they will be given the opportunity to contribute fully to any management issues that are brought to the attention of the Board. 

## OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES 

The objectives of the Church are as follows: 

- To worship the one true God in accordance with the Old and the New Testaments of the Holy Bible;

## Volunteers 

Many volunteers give up their time to help out at the church, particularly at weekends and in the evenings. The Board is greatly indebted to these volunteers for their commitment and support. 

## Grant Making Policy 

The Church Board operates a policy to contribute a proportion of its income to the General Assembly of the True Jesus Church (U.K.) on a quarterly basis and to other religious organisations as it sees appropriate, on an ad hoc basis. The Board reviews the level of the contributions each year. 

## ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE 

During the year the church met regularly for worship and carried out various activities in pursuit of the above stated aims. Significant highlights, events and developments of note in the year include: 

- Holding activities for the young and old e.g. Religious Education classes and New Year Thanksgiving service. 

- Donations to other churches including International Assembly and the UK General Assembly. 

## How our activities deliver public benefit 

Our main activity is to preach the salvation grace of Christ Jesus, the one True God. The benefit is for those who believe, to gain eternal life in the future. The Church provides a place of worship for the followers and any truth seeking friends in London. The Church also holds regular services on Saturday for the followers to keep the Sabbath. 

## FINANCIAL REVIEW 

Total income from unrestricted funds were £313,786 (2019: £354,201) and total expenses were £151,167 (2019: £198,616). The net income on the general unrestricted funds before transfers was £162,619 (2019: £155,585). 

Total income from restricted funds was £96,524 (2019: £170,558) and the total expenses from restricted funds were £93,882 (2019: £184,622).

5 



TRUE JESUS CHURCH (NEWCASTLE) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 30 DECEMBER 2020 

## Reserves Policy 

The Reserve fund represents the unrestricted and restricted funds arising from past operating results. The unrestricted funds represent the free reserves of the church. The Church Board have examined the requirement to maintain free reserves and are aware that they are holding a relatively large amount of unrestricted funds. However, such funds are necessary for the continued maintenance of the church building and the future expansion of the church. The unrestricted free reserves of the church are £798,170 (2019: £635,551) of which £45,000 is committed in the form of loans to True Jesus Church in Cardiff which assisted them to purchase a church. 

## Investment Policy 

The reserves are currently held in cash, which the Church Board feel is appropriate given the continued volatility of the stock market. The Board keep this policy under review. 

## Risk Management 

The Church Board have assessed the major risks to which the Church is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the Church, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate the exposure to the major risks. 

## Operational - Fire safety compliance for True Jesus Church Newcastle 

## Strategy to manage risk 

The church has reviewed their fire safety compliance and implemented the following strategies to ensure they can manage this risk effectively. There are regular fire alarm tests, fire marshalls have been appointed and trained, there is an annual fire risk assessment, the fire escapes have been kept clear, there are fire evacuation plans along with regular fire drills. The church also confirmed with building control and the local fire brigade department for building compliance, such as fire doors and room segregation. Appliances are also PAT tested. 

## Operational – Health and Safety within Church 

## Strategy to manage risk 

The church has reviewed the health and safety risk in the church and first aiders have been appointed and necessary training provided. The general affairs team regularly review the church for safety measures and ensure these are kept. They also ensure the general maintenance of the church. 

## Operational – Information Technology 

## Strategy to mitigate risk 

The information group keep up to date with technological developments for online platforms for “Online Worship” such as using YouTube or other social media platforms.  Currently True Jesus Church Newcastle have a YouTube channel in which members can subscribe and view online content. The church has progressed in being able to use online and social media platforms to be able to fulfil the church objectives when unable to physically gather in the church building.

TRUE JESUS CHURCH (NEWCASTLE) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 30 DECEMBER 2020 

## PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS 

The Church plans continuing the regular activities outlined above subject to satisfactory income arrangements. 

Covid-19 has been a significant event throughout 2020 and continues to have an impact everything in the world, including True Jesus Church Newcastle in 2021. It has affected the free movement of people and so we have had to close our doors since the UK wide lockdown in March 2020. Thankfully due to the advances within the information team, we were able to go ahead with online services and worship to ensure the churches key objectives could still be achieved. 

## STATEMENT OF MEMBERS’ OF THE BOARD' RESPONSBILITIES 

The Members of the board are responsible for preparing the Board's Report and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Members of the board to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that year. In preparing these accounts, the Members of the board are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts; and 

- prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 

The Members of the board are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities ( and reports ) Regulations and the provisions of the Trust Deed. 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 Members of the board are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the church and financial information included on the charity’s website in accordance with legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements. 

Approved by the Board on 11 October 2021 and signed on their behalf by:

TRUE JESUS CHURCH (NEWCASTLE) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020 

## INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT 

## To the Trustees of True Jesus Church (Newcastle) 

I report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020 which are set out on pages 9 to 18. 

## Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner 

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention 

## Basis of independent examiner’s report 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. 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 no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## Independent examiner’s statement 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

- (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: 

   - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and 

   - - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act . 

have not been met or 

- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

TRUE JESUS CHURCH (NEWCASTLE) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020 

## NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

## 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

## Basis of preparation 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts. The 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) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. 

The True Jesus Church (Newcastle) meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recorded at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s). 

## Going Concern 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.  The Members of the Board have assessed the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern and this assessment of going concern includes the expected impact of COVID-19 to the entity in the 12 months following the signing of these financial statements. 

## Offerings 

Offerings are included in the year in which they are receivable. 

## Donations 

Donations are included in the year which they are receivable, and any goods donated are donated at market value. 

## Investment and other income 

Bank interest and other income are included in the SOFA in the year in which they are receivable. 

## Expenditure 

All expenditure is included on an accruals basis and is recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation to pay for expenditure. All costs have been directly attributed to one of the functional categories of resources expended in the SOFA.  The church is not registered for VAT and accordingly expenditure is shown gross of irrecoverable VAT. 

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. 

## Fixed assets 

Fixed assets are originally recorded at cost.  Items of expenditure are capitalised where the purchase price exceeds £100. Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost of an asset, less its estimated residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows: 

Fixtures, fittings and equipment - 20% reducing balance Motor Vehicle - 25% reducing balance 

12 



TRUE JESUS CHURCH (NEWCASTLE) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020 

## 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.) 

Freehold property has not been depreciated, which is not in line with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (FRS 102). The Church Board do not feel that the freehold property is reducing in value and therefore have not applied any depreciation. 

## Financial assets 

Trade and other debtors which are receivable within one year are initially measured at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost, being the transaction price less any amounts settled and any impairment losses. 

A provision for impairment of debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the amounts due will not be collected according to the original terms of the contract. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.  Accrued income is measured at the amount recoverable. 

## Financial Liabilities 

Provisions are recognised when the charity has an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event which it is probable will result in the transfer of economic benefits and that obligation can be estimated reliably. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised within interest payable and similar charges. 

## Concessionary Loans 

Concessionary loans are provided at nil interest on the basis that they are provided wholly to advance the charitable purposes of the beneficiaries and for no financial return. 

## Critical Accounting Estimates and Areas of Judgement 

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. 

There are no critical estimates or assumptions included in the Financial Statements. 

## Restricted Funds 

Restricted funds are donations and other incoming resources generated for specific projects. 

## Unrestricted funds 

Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources receivable or generated for the objects of the charity without further specified purpose and are available as general funds. 

## 2. STAFF COSTS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS 

The church has no employees. The preacher’s salary costs are met centrally by the General Assembly of the True Jesus Church (UK). Members of the Board, who are key management personnel, have received neither remuneration nor expenses.
