CROYDON JUBILEE CHURCH
REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
The Directors have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts for the year.
Objects of the charity
Croydon Jubilee Church seeks to demonstrate the Christian faith in action by being a New Testament church in the Croydon area.
Government
The policy and operating decisions of the charity rest with the Directors who meet regularly to monitor the activities of the Company.
Day-to-day operational management is provided by paid staff members, including the Lead Elder. Guidance and support is provided by a group of Elders who provide oversight and direction. A team of established CJC members also provides additional support.
Activity leaders provide day to day leadership and financial management of their areas of control The Directors of the Company validate the operational decision-making process to ensure that appropriate controls are in place and that the charity operates in line with its Objectives and relevant legislation.
The Company was formed in March 2012 in order to take over from the predecessor charitable entity, Hodos Christian Trust, a Charitable Trust, Registered Charity 327616.
Review of Activities
The Christian faith in action has been demonstrated in many ways during the year by serving the community in which our church operates. In determining all operations of CJC the Elders and Directors consider the charity’s Objects namely; the promotion of the Christian religion, the relief of poverty and other appropriate charitable purposes in the local area and beyond before accepting their operation. This includes agreeing specific aims and objectives and appropriate procedures, a risk review and budgetary considerations.
Each recognised activity is led by an identified leader with oversight provided by the Elders and where appropriate the Directors for the ongoing operation and development of the activities including a high-level vision and development plan. This is shared with CJC membership via the Sunday morning meeting, specific Vision and Prayer evenings and appropriate “all church” training and teaching and written communications.
In reviewing the activities of CJC the Directors provide feedback to the Eldership and activity leaders to ensure that the impact is assessed and areas for improvement are identified. This process is being formalised into standard operating procedures to ensure that CJC Objectives are responsibly met.
Church Activities
During the period under review Croydon Jubilee Church has consolidated a number of church activities, including life groups, children’s and youth ministries and our corporate Sunday worship gathering.
Page 2
A superficial look at the activity of the church hides the deeper work that God has been doing within our community and a number of people have been key in taking responsibility for elements of the churches activity.
Children’s work for church members and others continues to be provided by a combination of paid staff and suitably qualified and supervised volunteers.
One of the couples in our church took on the provision of Youth Ministry, coming out COVID restrictions and we have been gathering 10-20 young people. We have also seen an encouraging expansion of this work, with a number of young people from the local community, without any history with the Christian faith backgrounds attending.
Fellowship with the wider church. Croydon Jubilee Church enjoy relationship with the Regions Beyond family of churches as well as the Croydon Churches Fellowship. We continued to build on the local partnerships we enjoyed in the previous year and a number of other local churches, gathered to Jubilee and Forestdale Church. In February 2022, The Beacon Church, Montpelier Church, Alive City Church and Castle Hill Church, joined Forestdale Church and Jubilee Church in desiring to see a growing collaboration, that will mutually strengthen our congregation and facilitate greater outward activity.
There are around 30 Regions Beyond churches around the UK and many more churches in a number of nations around the world, including the USA, Australia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, India, Brazil and many southern African nations. Some of our leaders also speak in other local Regions Beyond churches and attend the annual conferences of Regions Beyond.
The Croydon Churches Fellowship gathers termly and shares information on borough wide activities and is a place where relationships are built between ministers and churches in the borough. Out of this larger group, smaller groups work together, for example Churches Together Selsdon and Addington and a group called 133. We maintain regular attendance and partnership with these groups, for example, the Easter Walk of Witness and a joint, inter-denominational Christmas service.
Community Activities
Our community programme is served by our operation of Selsdon Community Centre, known as Selsdon Hall. Our intention is to be a hub of life and nourishment within the community; a place where people come to rest, catch up with their friends and all the while sitting in the presence of God. Located in the centre of Selsdon with excellent facilities . This permanent presence in the very heart of our community has enabled an increasing variety of contacts and events involving the people of Selsdon and beyond.
Selsdon Hall is hired out to a wide variety of clients, and it is used for many community events such as wedding receptions and private parties. The hall is used by a pre-school which is run every weekday in term time. Other regular hirers include South Corydon Islamic Centre and an exercise class. Various other groups using the hall throughout the week.
In planning the activities, the Directors have had regard to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission in December 2008.
The most notable event in the period under review is the culmination of a lengthy process of review and planning for the reopening of the coffee shop, within the Selsdon Centre that we run on behalf of the council.
Page 3
Prior to the pandemic, the centre had made considerable losses, and it was crucial for us to find a way forward that wouldn’t expose Jubilee to unacceptable and unsustainable financial pressures. Since closing the café, we increasingly felt the space we were responsible was being underused. Having had significant successes in the way we ran and organised hall hire, we felt it was time to take the next step in using the Selsdon centre to better serve the community.
The elders and directors met a number of times during this period to create a viable plan for reopening and in January 2023, we interviewed for a café manager and were delighted to find an appropriately experienced person for the job, who is a member of Croydon Jubilee Church and in February 2023, we reopened, to the delight of the community and the joy of the church, as we look forward to being able to increasingly meet our stated aims, as a charity, through increased and deeper connection to the community we serve.
Principal Sources of Income
Income for CJC comes from a variety of sources. Generous congregational giving by CJC Church membership, both in regular monthly donations and one-off gifts for either specific or general requirements amounted to £170,822 in the financial year 2022/23 (2021/22: £170,359). Gift Aid on these financial gifts amounted to £31,865 (2022/23: £37,147).
The operation of Selsdon Hall, the Coffee Shop and bar events raised a total of £87,315 this financial year, a big increase on the previous financial year (£61,816) as the coffee shop was re-opened late in the year. The church leadership and Directors continue to consider carefully the implications of the operation of the centre and knowingly undertake this activity in order to serve the local community.
Income of £11,118 was received for a variety of Parenting courses, some funded by attendees, some funded out of payments from a consortium, providing services to meet LB Croydon requirements in Parenting support.
Self-funding for small scale youth and children’s work activities continues, alongside self-funding for the Lunch Club and other small-scale activities.
Significant Events in 2022/2023
No material Significant Events occurred in 2022/23 that required either additional e xpenditure, over and above the operation of the activities and the regular maintenance and support o f both Selsdon Hall and Wolsey Chapel, including lighting and music performance equipment.
Reserves
The free reserves were maintained in line with agreed policy and at a level deemed appropriate to the Directors through the financial year. This equates to approximately £30,000-35,000. This is less than would normally be considered appropriate for a charity such CJC but in considering the policy the Directors are aware of the committed support from church members and also from other churches with whom CJC have strong relationship from whom funding can be obtained should the need arise. At the year end, the free reserves amounted to £108,000 (2022: £54,000).
The ongoing level of reserves is closely monitored and the Directors regularly receive financial reports to ensure appropriate action plans can be enacted should the financial position deteriorate.
Page 4
Risk Statement
The Directors have reviewed the risks to which a charity operating with few employees is exposed. Appropriate procedures are in place to identify, monitor and review these risks on a regular basis.
Principal risks include potential loss in income from Church members and appropriate contingency plans are in place should CJC giving income significantly reduce including the reduction in staff and overhead costs to ensure expenditure is maintained with income
The risk of loss of Parenting income for the production and delivery of Parenting courses is mitigated since the majority of course and activity delivery is provided by temporary staff members on Zero Hours contracts.
A significant reduction in Hall income would be mitigated by re-rostering temporary workers to maintain expenses in-line with income.
Additional risk-based controls are planned to ensure that all activities maintain appropriate risk assessments
Governance and Management
Pay and Remuneration is set solely by the Directors. In setting pay, the Directors consider similar sized church organisations and information from appropriate non-commercial organisations, such as secondary school pay structures to ensure that salary and remuneration are in- line other comparable responsibility levels. The Directors review this annually for all permanent and temporary staff.
Consideration is given to Director development including on-going informal training and support from identified professionals within the church. In selecting additional Directors, the current Directors and Elders consider skills and experience of candidates and the alignment of CJC Objectives with a candidate’s capabilities. There is planned diversity within the Directors that reflects the diverse nature of CJC Members
CJC belongs to Regions Beyond, a diverse family of churches joined in apostolic partnership through a commitment to growing and strengthening churches. CJC Charitable Objects remain in-line with Regions Beyond objectives. Regions Beyond provides additional support, spiritual direction and accountability to the leaders and members of CJC. CJC works closely with other Regions Beyond churches, and other non-affiliated organisations, to further its charitable objectives.
Forward looking Plans
As part of the Directors discussions, the Activities of CJC are considered and recommendations made to the Eldership team regarding the activities of CJC to ensure that the relevant skills and experience are integrated in day-to-day activities. Where necessary, appropriate support and guidance from outside the organisation is sought, both formally and informally, to provide a fresh perspective on proposed activities and the operation of CJC.
The Directors will review and refresh policies and procedures to enable a simpler model of working in both Church and Community activities.
During 2023/2024 the Directors expect the activities described above to continue and be developed based on lessons learnt from appropriate sources. The activities remain in-line with CJC Charitable Objects and the Directors continue to monitor the financial and operational performance.

CROYDON JUBILEE CHURCH NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
1 Statutory Information
The charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee and is incorporated in the United Kingdom. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.
2 Accounting Policies
These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets, which are measured at fair value through the Statement of Financial Activities.
These 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) ("the Charities SORP"), with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102"), with the Companies Act 2006 and with the Charities Act 2011. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as set out in FRS 102.
The principles adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.
a) Going concern The accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis. As explained in the Trustees report, based on the level of the charity’s cash reserves as at the balance sheet date, along with their knowledge of the charity’s ordinary charitable activity and its ability to raise funds from members of the church and other churches committed to the work of the charity together with the cost reduction measures in order to meet bills, payments and other liabilities as they fall due, the directors are confident that the charity has sufficient resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. This opinion is formedwith due consideration of the lease commitments and loan repayments as detailed in notes 13 and 16. The accounts have consequently been prepared on the going concern basis.
b) Income Income including investment income is recognised in the period in which the charity becomes entitled to receipt, the amount receivable can be measured with reasonable certainty, and receipt is probable. For the most part, income is generally recognised when it is received. Income is only deferred when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor has specified that the income is to be expended in a future period.
Income from donations and legacies includes:
i) Recoverable gift aid. This is recognised when the related donation is received. Gift aid that has not been recovered by the balance sheet date is included as a debtor.
- ii) Donated facilities, services and goods. Goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries are recognised as income when receivable at fair value (being an estimate of the amount it would cost to purchase those items). [Goods donated for resale are recognised as income at the point of sale (as the sale proceeds cannot be estimated reliably before the goods are sold)]. Facilities, services and goods donated for the charity's own use are recognised as income when receivable at their value to the charity.
The charity relies on volunteers to carry out many of its activities. However, in accordance with the SORP, the value of these services has not been included in these financial statements as they cannot be reliably measured.
When donated goods, services and facilities are distributed or consumed, an expense in respect of those items is included in the Statement of Financial Activities. At the year end any goods that have not been distributed or consumed are recognised as stock; donated fixed assets are capitalised.
iii) Legacies. Income from legacies is recognised when a distribution is received from the estate or, if earlier, when the charity has been notified that a distribution will be made and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.
Investment income represents income generated by the charity's assets and includes income from bank interest.
c) Expenditure Expenditure, including irrecoverable VAT, is recognised when it is incurred or, if earlier, when a legal or constructive obligation for a payment arises provided that it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
The charity makes grants to other institutions and individuals to further its charitable objectives. Grants payable are recognised as constructive obligations arise, which is generally when the charity expresses a commitment to the recipient that can be measured reliably and then only to the extent that any conditions associated with the grant are outside of the control of the charity.
Governance costs, which are included in expenditure on charitable activities but are identified separately in the notes to the accounts, includes costs associated with the independent examination of the financial statements, compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements and any other expenditure incurred on the strategic management of the charity.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
d) 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. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are donations which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors; they include donations received from appeals for specific activities or projects.
e) Tangible fixed assets
Items purchased or donated for the charity's own use are capitalised when the cost of purchased items, or the fair value of donated items, is more than £1,000 and the item is expected to benefit the charity over more than one accounting period. Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis so as to write down the value of each asset to its estimated residual value (if any) over its expected useful economic life. To achieve this objective the following rates of depreciation are charged:
Freehold land Is not depreciated (because it is not consumed by use) Freehold buildings Over 50 years after taking account of the building's residual value Leasehold improvements Over the lease term or, if shorter, expected useful life Equipment Over 3 to 14 years
The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment in periods when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
f) Stocks
Stocks of donated items held for distribution to beneficiaries are measured at fair value.
g) Pension scheme arrangements The charity operates defined contribution pension schemes for its employees. Obligations for contributions to these schemes are recognised as an expense when the liability arises. The assets of these schemes are held separately from those of the charity in independently administered funds.
h) Taxation The company is a registered charity; it has taken advantage of the various reliefs from taxation available to charities and no tax is payable on the charity's income.
