Ealing Green Church: Annual Report for the year to 30 September 2024

Trustees’ Annual Report for the period from 1 October 2023 – 30[th] September 2024

Charity name:

Ealing Green (Methodist & United Reformed) Church.

Charity registration number :

1144083

Objectives & Activities:

Summary of the purposes of the Charity as set out in its governing document: Ealing Green Church (EGC) is a partnership between the United Reformed and Methodist Churches to offer public Christian worship, service and pastoral care in the heart of Ealing. Its members come from around the world and are from a variety of Christian and social backgrounds, and different kinds of households. Its worship and study groups are open to all: all are welcome to receive communion and participate fully in the worshipping life of the community. The church seeks to meet people as and where they are, and to be a safe space for vulnerable adults and children: it has strong safeguarding policies. As a part of the Ealing Trinity Methodist Circuit the church shares ministry and mission with six other Methodist churches in the London Borough of Ealing, and over one hundred United Reformed Churches in the Thames North Synod. It maintains links with churches of different denominations in the area.

Ealing Green Church is a charitable, unincorporated association governed by a constitution adopted on 20th March 2011. The trustees of the church are the members of the Church Council elected by members of the church at its Annual General Meeting. The members of this council are responsible for ensuring that the activities undertaken by the church pursue the aims and purposes and are also responsible for the maintenance of the buildings used by the church. The Council employs an Office Manager to assist with the administration of this work.

Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts: The aims and purpose of EGC are to advance the Christian faith in accordance with the principles and practices of the Methodist and United Reformed Churches. This includes the celebration of public worship, teaching of the Christian faith, mission and evangelism, pastoral work, the provision of facilities with a Christian ethos for the local community and the support of other charities in the UK and overseas.

Worship : Church services are open to all who seek to explore the Christian faith and those who wish to grow in faith. The church understands and acknowledges that this is best done in community where people feel safe to express themselves without fear of judgment. Worship is led by both ministers and trained lay people, and assisted by a small choir. Members enjoy a variety of approaches to worship aimed at offering a meaningful experience of encounter with God. The Reverend Sue Male became our Minister in 2018, and Sue has become an integral part of Ealing Green Church and has strengthened the variety of worship, pastoral care and our ecumenical links with other faith groups and other Christian denominations in our locality.

Ealing Green Church: Annual Report for the year to 30 September 2024

Services are held every Sunday at 11am, with additional services taking place for festivals such as Christmas and Easter and ECG occasionally hosts services for the circuit. Some Sundays the worship is held Café Style, some Sundays we worship at one of our sister churches, and on some other Sundays one or other of them joins us. We currently have no children as part of our congregation, but are always ready to hold groups specifically on a Sunday Morning, should they begin to attend, and to hold monthly all age worship. Our Sunday services are also livestreamed to our YouTube channel, Ealing Green Church. In addition, we host weekly online worship and prayer service, which brings together those from the churches cared for by Sue, being Ealing Green Church & Kingsdown Methodist Church, including some of those who are housebound.

A Discipleship group meets occasionally for discussion and reflection, and there are regular Bible studies. ECG also hosts or offers other opportunities for study and reflection on a less regular basis. Membership classes were held in the year, and seven new members were welcomed into the church family.

In addition, to the services led by Ealing Green Church, the Polish Christian Church Emmanuel (Poles for Poles) hire the hall every Sunday afternoon, offering protestant worship in the Polish language to the large Polish community in Ealing.

Pastoral care: Pastoral Care is implicit in much of what we do as a Church and inherent in who we are as a community…. The Church exists to be a good neighbour to people in need... It asks, "How do we discover the needs in our community and respond to them? How do we develop friendly attitudes towards everyone we meet? Do we share with one another our concerns...?" We try to encourage the authentic care of, and inclusion of, those who for various reasons are on the periphery of the church.” (From the Methodist Church’s Website)

A healthy Christian community is one in which people know that they are loved, visitors are welcome and young and old alike are valued and feel safe. The care that we offer, both at times of crisis and in everyday life is an active proclamation of God's love in Christ and for all the world. This is a statement from the Methodist Church, and we share this vision.

Each member or regular attender at the church has a pastoral contact who will keep in contact with them in a non-obtrusive way and offer particular support at times of need. The church is also often asked to pray for those who are not part of the church life. Prayers are offered (with the person's permission) during our church services, through a prayer corner in the church, at our weekly prayer and worship services on Zoom, and through our Pastoral Committee’s email group. Church flowers are distributed each week to those who are unwell, or going through difficult times. Pastoral contacts were invaluable during lockdown and members of the church family phoned each other, offered fellowship, comfort and prayer support to those they watched over. The church magazine, Unity, continued to be produced and was emailed or posted to all, and we thank our editor Lee for working so hard to keep the magazine going. These extra ways of keeping in touch have since continued and a monthly pastoral prayer letter is still sent to those who are unable to get to church for whatever reason, containing prayers, poems, stories, pictures etc.

Ealing Green Church is proud to be a Sight Loss Friendly Church and some members of the Pastoral Team have undertaken the required training with The Torch Trust, and one church member has been

provided with the hymn book in braille. In addition we have some of the books of the bible also available in Braille. Large print bibles, hymn books and orders of service are always available. Some pastoral leaders have also undertaken ‘Dementia Friends’ training session, organised by the Alzheimer’s Association, which will hopefully enable EGC to become a Dementia Friendly Church.

Hospitality: The church hosts a Monday Fellowship group, open to all, which meets fortnightly, free of charge. These meetings follow a programme with guest speakers & refreshments, and are greatly enjoyed by those who attend.

Tuesday Coffee Mornings started in September 2022, and a warm welcome, along with teas, coffees, homemade cakes and other refreshments are available free of charge. Any member of the local community is most welcome to come along; the church is open between 10.30am – 12.30pm.

Occasional ‘Pot-luck Lunches’ are held after morning services are well attended and popular.

Ealing Green Church supports the work of Ealing Churches Winter Night Shelter; and in January & February 2024 we had a wonderful bunch of volunteers. We were lucky to have had them all, no matter how large or small their contribution. Among them we were blessed with some excellent chefs who provided the guests and those volunteers who were around in the evenings, with some truly delicious and filling evening meals. Breakfast was prepared by Helen and her crew to the clear appreciation of the guests. They provided a substantial buffet so our guests were able to take away food for lunch and snacks during the day. This year we hosted approximately 14 guests, and we tried to be good listeners if our guests wanted to talk. But often after dinner they just wanted to relax, have a shower and sleep.

The beds and bags containing duvets and pillows were delivered from the Wednesday night venue early on Thursday mornings. The first shift of volunteers started around 6pm preparing the hall with the beds and chairs, the tables for the meals. The guests gathered in the foyer and were admitted when everything is prepared. The meal was served around 7.45pm and after dinner our guests were able to start their night routines. The third shift volunteers arrive early to help the guests fold up their beds, put their sheets and blankets in their bags for transport to the next venue, put their bed linen ready for washing and help clear up the hall for the groups coming in to take possession for their activities. Other volunteers transport the beds and duvet/pillow bags on to the next venue and the bed linen is taken to the final group of volunteers who wash the sheets, pillows, towels etc. for next week’s session.

Our contribution to the ECW Night Shelter would not have been possible without our team of volunteers whose commitment is exemplary. All of us at Ealing Green thank them wholeheartedly.

In addition to these charitable activities, the premises are used by a growing number of community groups who pay hire charges, which helps to support the upkeep of the buildings. Regular users include Ealing Symphony Orchestra, Ealing U3A, Drama Studio London (now part of University of West London), Ealing Choral Society, The Associated Boards of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM), Ealing School of Dance and a variety of classes, including Zumba and Mei Quan Tai Chi, and others. The Church also hosts addiction support groups, such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Al-Anon & Overeaters Anonymous, and sessions are held every weekday evening.

Ealing Green Church: Annual Report for the year to 30 September 2024

Charitable support: ECG regards giving as part of its work of mission and the church has supported a number of charities during the year, including Christian Aid, the Rehema Community Project in Kisumu Kenya, and locally Ealing Soup Kitchen, along with Ealing Churches Winter Night Shelter and Ealing Foodbank, (below). Much of this giving is from special collections at communion services. During the year we have continued with our monthly support to The Samaritans, and also Ealing Foodbank. We are also pleased to support the charity, Housing 4 Women, to deliver their services within the Borough of Ealing.

Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit:

The Trustees of EGC, who comprise of the Church Council Members, Minister and Treasurer, are provided with the relevant guidance issued by the Charity Commission, and follow this guidance to help them ensure their decisions adhere to the purpose of EGC for public benefit.

Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity's work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole:

The identity of the church is as a place of prayer and a focus of the presence and love of God in the community. The church seeks to make that presence and love real through word and action, and offers particular support to local charities that serve the community; both by offering financial support and also on practical ways such as offering secure meeting spaces.

The church offers a wide variety of approaches to worship, including creative forms of worship which can offer a fresh perspective and open up new understanding and insight.

The church both actively and intentionally explores ways to promote growth, numerically, in terms of the knowledge, understanding and confidence of its members in relation to their faith; and in outreach to the community we serve.

Financial Review

Review of the charity’s position financial position at the end of the period: Financial review to 30 September 2024 – note all figures in brackets refer to the previous year.

The total income of the church in the year was £213,997 (£214,926). Of this £24,452 (£31,519) was voluntary income, income from activities for generating funds (lettings of the church hall and other rooms) was £89,752 (£90,457), and investment income was £99,793 (£92,950).

Voluntary income for the year of £24,452 (£31,519) is made up of donations and legacies from the church congregation and supporters. Donations to the church also include those monies given for special collections.

Income from activities generating funds came from the letting of the church and halls and amounted to £89,752 (£90,457): it is an aim of the church to make full use of the buildings as both an active worship space and community resource. The building is busy and is used by a wide variety of folk from our local community.

Investment income was £99,793 (£92,950). Of this £47,806 (£43,000) came from the three flats at 3 Victoria Terrace W5 and £41,400 (£40,195), from renting the Little Church building (2b The Grove, W5) to a children’s nursery. In addition, £10,587 (£9,755) was received in interest from financial investments, being the reserves held at the Central Finance Board of the Methodist Church.

Expenditure in the year amounted to £252,013 (£277,124).

£80,238 (£81,715) was spent on charitable activities . This expenditure has three main components:

£65,500 (£67,344) was contributed to the sponsoring denominations through the assessment paid to Ealing Trinity Circuit Methodist Circuit at £60,000, and the church’s contribution to the United Reformed Church’s Ministry & Mission Fund at £5,500. At this time Ealing Green Church remains under Methodist Ministry and the different levels of contribution to the two sponsoring denominations reflects this fact.
Grants to charities amounted to £10,813 (£11,075). The Church has a policy of supporting charities in the UK and abroad in accordance with its stated aims. In addition, church members devote time and effort to maintaining links with charities, fundraising and working directly for them. Please see note 13.2 in the attached spreadsheet (CC17) for details of the charities supported in this financial year. 3. £3,925 (£3,296) was spent on the provision of music, Junior Church activities and other resources for the services of worship. Church members volunteer to support these activities. The donation of £75,000 to Ealing Trinity Methodist Circuit, recorded in the previous year, was a one off donation following the receipt of a legacy, and will not be repeated.

Ealing Green Church: Annual Report for the year to 30 September 2024

The management, maintenance and insurance of investment properties amounted to £26,317 (£11,941). The cost of insuring the properties has gone up, along with the fees paid to the managing agents, due to a change in tenants in all three flats in 3 Victoria Terrace. Repairs and maintenance to the flats was £12,000 greater than in the previous year, as the exterior of the building was renovated, along with some necessary repairs internally.

Other expenditure amounted to £141,560 (£108,401). The cost of operating and maintaining the church buildings was £65,041 (£71,763). Along with routine repairs and regular maintenance of the building, £2,820 was spent on new lighting in the community hall, £4,412 to flooring repairs in the hall & corridors, replacement of five radiators came to £2,641, but overall spending on the fabric of the building was reduced. The utilities – gas, electricity and water all increased and came to £22,132 (£8,429), an increase of approx. 263%.

The church office costs were £34,683 (£35,722), which includes the Church Office Manager’s salary, along with expenses such as phones/Wi-Fi, printing, postage etc.

Other items contributing to the total of ‘other expenditure’ includes the provision of hospitality and equipment purchased for the church or office, equipment this year included a new refrigerator and boiler for the kitchen. There has also been an accrual made of £41,201 to cover the cost of replacing the main boilers. This was agreed by our Trustees during this year, and installed and paid for after the year end.

During the year there has been an excess of spending of £38,016, however when you discount the cost of the boilers, we can see a small excess of income of £3,185. The cost of the boilers is covered by our reserves. In the previous year the deficit of income of £62,197, was explained by the donation of £75,000 to Ealing Trinity Methodist Circuit, from our reserves.

Please note: the Trustees will be reviewing the basis of activity of expenditure to align to updated SORP reporting in the coming years.

Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held : It is the policy of the church to maintain the equivalent of four months’ average expenditure approximately in unrestricted funds. Excluding the cost of the boilers, unrestricted expenditure was £204,800 in 2023/2024 and so unrestricted reserves should be approximately £68,300, which represents the average expenditure prorated from that of 12 months, to four. At the end of the year the total equity of the charity was £207,656, of which unrestricted funds amounted to £198,856. It is the opinion of the Trustees that Ealing Green Church has sufficient funds to meet its day-to-day obligations, planned spending to the building, and to meet the reserves policy, and the church finances remain secure. The charity continues to operate as a going concern.

Principal Risks : Ealing Green Church manages its risks and uncertainties in a proactive manner through a robust committee structure and control environment that is appropriate for the size of the Church. The Church is in the process of aligning its objectives to its risks and is looking into a risk framework approach in future reports.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Ealing Green Church

I report on the financial statements for the year ended 30th September 2024 which are set out on pages 10 to 29.

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(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is needed. I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualfied member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.

It is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act.
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act 2011; 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 you as 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 material matters have come to my attention which give me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part if an independent examination.

I 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.

Note 29 Additional Disclosures

The following are significant matters which are not covered in other notes and need to be included to provide a proper understanding of the accounts. If there is insufficient room here, please add a separate sheet.

Investment income is derived from the rental income of two properties: namely 3 Victoria Terrace, London W5 5QS, and the former Little Church building at 2a The Grove, London W5 5LH. The property and financial assest that give rise to this investment income are excluded from these accounts, as they are held under schedule 2 of the United Reformed Church Acts, and are legally the property of the URC's North Thames Trust. Under an agreement between Thames North Trust and Ealing Green Church, the investment income is attributed to Ealing Green Church, as are the costs of manageing and maintaining the properties and financial investments. This legal agreement is also in place and applies to the property at 19 Queen Anne's Gardens, London W5 5QD, which is currently used as a manse.
