Trustee’s Annual Report

St. Luke's (Hoylake) Church

for the year ended 31 August 2021

Introduction

Welcome to the Annual Report for St. Luke's Methodist Church Hoylake.

Aims and organisation

The mission of the Methodist Church in Great Britain is set out under the heading of ‘Our Calling.’

This document states that the church has for primary functions namely;

Worship, learning and caring, service and evangelism.

Together these four aspects cover a wide variety of activities in the local church.

Review of the year

St Luke's Methodist Church stayed open during Covid-19 lockdown supporting church members, local families and local community groups with a food bank resource and was registered with Wirral Borough Council on their official list of places to help.

St Luke's was a leading and pivotal part of the community response in supporting the asylum seekers housed in Hoylake throughout the pandemic period with food, clothing and a safe place to be for English Lessons, advocacy and support until the hotel closed in March 2021.

During the past year St. Luke’s Methodist Church has engaged in a wide variety of activities including:

Income trends

Church income is primarily drawn from the Sunday collections and Gift aid tax credit & lettings income paid by the congregation / external users of the building.

The rental income relates to the hire of the church rooms to various groups in the community.

Expenditure trends

The major cost is in relation to the assessment paid to the Wirral Methodist Circuit. This amounts to 70% of our total expenditure on the General Fund.

A significant amount of the Circuit assessment is used to pay the District assessment, stipends and related costs to Ministers & Circuit lay employees.

The other expenditure includes insurance, utilities and building maintenance. Expenditure was as expected.

Fund balances

As at 31 August 2021 the net current assets of the Church General Fund were £45,737, giving approximately 7 months' cover for expenditure.

Plans for 2021/22

The calling of the Methodist Church is to respond to the gospel of God's love in Christ and to live out its discipleship in worship and mission. It does this through: Worship, Learning & Caring, Service and Evangelism. The Church Budget is reviewed annually and supports this work.

Income is from a combination of: planned giving by the church membership, letting of rooms and donations from individuals and church groups. Where applicable tax is reclaimed using “Gift Aid”.

We make provision for our property maintenance programme by budgeting to maintain and clean the Church. The budget also covers heating, lighting and buildings insurance. The ministerial oversight is resourced by the circuit for which the church makes a budgeted contribution from the general fund. Additional staff are supported by designated restricted funds. The Church has received various legacies some of which are for specific projects – including Mission & Evangelism and the employment of additional staff. These monies are held in restricted funds.

St. Luke's (Hoylake) Church

Risk Management

The major risks have been identified and recorded by the Trustees with professional advice taken as required. There is a regular annual review process undertaken and recorded.

Income and Expenditure is being monitored in total and is compared with the approved annual budget on a half yearly basis to detect trends as part of the risk management process to avoid unforeseen calls on reserves.

Safeguarding

Every person has a value and dignity which comes directly from the creation of male and female in God’s own image and likeness. Christians see this potential as fulfilled by God’s re-creation of us in Christ. Among other things this implies a duty to value all people as bearing the image of God and therefore to protect them from harm.

Methodist Connexional practice outlines commitment to the following principles:

The Church commits itself to ensuring the implementation of Connexional Safeguarding Policy; government legislation, guidance and safe practice in the circuit and in the churches.

The Church commits itself to the provision of support, advice and training for lay and ordained people that will ensure people are clear and confident about their roles and responsibilities in safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and adults who may be vulnerable.

Reserves Policy

Our Reserves Policy is to hold at least six month’s income in hand for the Church General Fund. This amount should be sufficient to provide working capital to cover fluctuations in income and expenditure and to meet emergency calls on cash, for example for emergency repairs or immediate mission opportunities. (In setting this level it is recognised that reserves are also held by the Wirral Circuit and Liverpool District of the Methodist Church).

As at the end of the last financial year (31 August 2021) our general fund reserves were £45,737, i.e. 56% of planned

Notes to the Accounts

1. Basis of accounting

The Charity’s annual report and accounts for the year ended 31 August 2021 have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice 2015 as applicable to the FRS102 SORP 2015.

2. Funds

The funds held constitute: General Funds held for any purpose of the Church which are Unrestricted. Restricted funds which are held for a narrower purpose including those for internal organisations. Details of each material fund are disclosed in note 18 . Any funds may be represented by more than just cash.

3. Accounting policies

Basis

These accounts have been prepared on the basis of historical cost except that investments are shown at their market value at the end of the year, on the accruals basis to show a true and fair view of the Church's financial position and activities.

Income

Income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when the Church becomes entitled to the resources, and the trustees are reasonably certain they will receive the resources; and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Expenditure

This is recognised when a liability is incurred, or a constructive obligation arises, that results in the payment being unavoidable. Liabilities are recognised as soon as an outflow of economic benefit is considered more likely than not under the legal or constructive obligation committing the Church to pay out resources.

Grants

Grants made by the Church from its own funds are recognised in full at the time of agreement or when the Church accepts that there is a legal or operational obligation to make the payment. When the grant is recurrent over more than one year the balance payable in future years is treated as a provision for future commitments in the Balance Sheet against the appropriate fund, the provision being released in future years as instalments are paid in accordance with the originally agreed terms.

VAT

Since the Church is not VAT registered, all input VAT is charged with the expenses to which it refers.

Tangible fixed assets for use by the Church

These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and individually cost at least £1,000. The freehold property is shown at cost.

Investment Properties

There are no investment properties.

Investments

Investments are valued in the balance sheet at market value at the year end. Investment income is included in the accounts when receivable and any gains or losses on revaluation at the year end are shown in the SOFA.

Debtors and Prepayments

Debtors include outstanding lettings invoices in August (where a significant debt remains).

Creditors

Creditors include outstanding amounts relating to utilities, telephones, etc in August.

St. Luke's (Hoylake) Church
Accounts for the year ended 31stAugust
2021

This Report is on the Church Accounts for the year ended 31[st] August

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

The Church's trustees are responsible for ensuring that the annual report and accounts for the year to 31 August 2021 present a true and fair view of the Church's income and expenditure for the year and of its assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date. The trustees consider that an audit is not necessary 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:

St. Luke's (Hoylake) Church

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, in nature or scale, or disclosures in the accounts, seeking explanations from the Trustees concerning 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. My 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 ( ~~other than as disclosed below*)~~

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.

(3) I have ~~/have not*~~ obtained independent verification of all investments with the Trustees for Methodist Church Purposes or held in other trusts, bank balances and funds at the Central Finance Board of the Methodist Church which are individually in excess of £10,000 (ten thousand pounds) at the balance sheet date.
