TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Caersalem Baptist Church & Caersalem Baptist Chapel, St Mellons and Caersalem Baptist Chapel (together the "Charity") for the year ended 31 March 2022.

The Charity also operates under the name "St Mellons Baptist Church".

This joint report has been prepared as the trustees of both organisations recognise that the two are intrinsically linked and that it is therefore impossible to fully report on the activities of one trust without reference to the other. This has been recognised by the Charity Commission who, on 13 April 2013, issued a direction formally linking the two trusts for registration and reporting purposes.

Objectives and activities

a. Objectives

Caersalem Baptist Church

Under the constitution adopted by the members of the church, the principal object of the church is the advancement of the Christian faith in accordance with the Basis of Faith primarily but not exclusively within Eastern Cardiff.

Caersalem Baptist Chapel

The principal purpose of the Caersalem Baptist Chapel Trust is that of providing a place of public worship for Particular or Calvinistic Baptists in the parish of St Mellons, Cardiff.

In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'.

b. Activities undertaken to achieve objectives

We meet regularly (twice on a Sunday and once during the week) to worship God. We also enjoy fellowship together, and are committed to reaching out into our neighbouring communities of Old St Mellons, Llanrumney and St Mellons, and to the wider districts of Trowbridge, Pontprennau and the smaller villages to the North and East of the church.

We also run a Sunday School, a carer & toddler group, clubs for children and teenagers, meetings specifically for women and for men, and various other meetings but these activities were curtailed in the year under review as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition, the church buildings have been used for activities such as an election polling station.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Objectives and activities (continued)

c. Main activities undertaken to further the Charity's purposes for the public benefit

Worship services

As noted above, the church meets 3 times a week for collective worship, prayer and teaching which is open to the entire community. These meetings have been also been available on-line either through webcasting via YouTube for Sunday Services or through Zoom in the case of prayer meetings. During the year, we were thankful that we were able to resume normal worship services following the easing of restrictions imposed during the pandemic.

Sunday school & First steps

During the year we were able to resume both of these activities following the removal of social distancing requirements and have been heartened to see a number of people returning.

Young people's fellowship

The young peoples fellowship caters for children of secondary school age combining a mix of social activities with Christian teaching, including application of Christianity in the lives of the young people.

Ladies & men's meetings

The ladies meet weekly at the chapel on a Thursday morning and once a month on a Saturday for breakfast. The men also meet monthly on a Saturday for breakfast.

Care home

Due to the pandemic and the particular impact it had on care homes, we have had to suspend our regular monthly service. This has only recently resumed in late 2022.

Missionaries

The church continues to support a number of missionaries both in the UK and serving overseas. In particular, one of our members has now returned from working in Brazil to work more locally in areas of need and another is working in a hospital in Uganda.

Financial review

a. Going concern

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the Charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. Further details regarding the adoption of the going concern basis can be found in the accounting policies.

b. Reserves policy

The trustees believe that it is appropriate that the trust seeks to build a level of free reserves (defined as the balance on the General Fund) equivalent to approximately three months of expenditure which currently equates to approximately £15,000.

The General Fund as at 31 March 2022 amounted to £15,000 (2021: £31,566).

TRUSTEES' REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

Structure, governance and management

a. Caersalem Baptist Church, St Mellons

Caersalem Baptist Church, St Mellons (the "Church") is a Charitable Trust, representing a group of Particular (Calvinistic) Baptist believers who meet at Caersalem Chapel, St Mellons, Cardiff. The members of the church have adopted a constitution setting out the key beliefs of the church and the requirements of membership.

As at 31 March 2022, the Church comprised of 104 (2021: 113) members.

The Church membership is composed of those who have been called and separated from the world by the Word and the Spirit of God and who through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ are savingly converted to Him, and have been baptised by immersion into the likeness of Christ’s death and resurrection.

A person may apply to the Elders to become a member of the Church and that application, if approved (after a meeting with at least two Elders), is then laid before the members at a Church meeting for their approval.

In accordance with Biblical teachings, the members have identified individuals from within the membership to oversee both spiritual matters (Elders) and temporal matters (Deacons). These individuals are regarded as the Trustees of Caersalem Baptist Church, St Mellons and they are elected to office by the members of the Church in accordance with the Rules of the Church.

b. Caersalem Baptist Chapel

The Trust of Caersalem Baptist Chapel is a Holding Trust which was established in 1884 to provide a place of public worship for Particular or Calvinistic Baptists in the parish of St Mellons, Monmouthshire (now the City and County of Cardiff), who had gathered to meet since 1794.

Members of the Church Trust automatically become members of the Chapel Trust.

The trust deed requires a minimum of 5 and maximum of 15 trustees to be appointed. The appointment of a trustee is dependent on securing a two-thirds majority of church members voting at a meeting called for such a purpose. A meeting to appoint a trustee will only occur either when the number of trustees falls below the minimum level of 5 or when the male members of the church believe it is appropriate to do so.

Trustees are appointed until death, resignation, removal from office, incapacity or being beyond the seas.

c. Church officers and trustees

The trustees of Caersalem Baptist Church and Caersalem Baptist Chapel, who have all served throughout the year and up to the date of approval of this report (unless otherwise specified), are as stated on page 1.

Plans for future periods

The Church was significantly impacted by the global pandemic and had to curtail a lot of the normal activities and events that we would usually organise. We have now resumed most of our activities and are glad to see many in the local community returning.

Also in September 2021 our Pastor, Andy Christofides, stepped down after 21 years of faithful service to the Church. We wish him and his wife Jill every blessing in their future work and we are also seeking the Lord's direction for a future Pastor of the Church.

In March 2022, we commenced a significant refurbishment of the chapel, including the installation of more accessible seating for those attending our services. This was completed in September 2022.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

1. General information

Caersalem Baptist Church, St Mellons is an unincorporated charity registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales, registered number 1145492. The Charity also operates under the name "St Mellons Baptist Church".

Caersalem Baptist Chapel is an unincorporated charity linked to Caersalem Baptist Church, St Mellons for administrative and reporting purposes.

The principal address of the Charities is Caersalem Chapel, Tyr Winch Road, Old St Mellons, Cardiff, CF3 5US.

2. Accounting policies

2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a 'true and fair' view. This departure has involved following the Charities SORP (FRS 102) published on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn.

Caersalem Baptist Church & Caersalem Baptist Chapel, St Mellons meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.

2.2 Income

All income is recognised once the Charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid is recognised at the time of the donation unless a declaration is made in respect of historic donations, in which case it is recognised at the date the declaration is provided.

2.3 Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

Grants payable are charged in the year when the offer is made except in those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised as expenditure when the conditions attaching are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end are noted as a commitment, but not accrued as expenditure.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022

2. Accounting policies (continued)

2.4 Interest receivable

Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the institution with whom the funds are deposited.

2.5 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Depreciation is provided on the following bases:

2.6 Debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

2.7 Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.

2.8 Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

2.9 Financial instruments

The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

2.10 Pensions

The Charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme and the pension charge represents the amounts payable by the Charity to the fund in respect of the year.

2.11 Fund accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the Charity for particular purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.
