**24-7 Prayer Stanford (Charity Commission No. 1146983) Trustees Annual Report For the Year Ended 31 December 2022** 

24-7 Prayer Stanford is a company limited by guarantee and is governed by it’s articles of association. The company was incorporated on 6 January 2012. 

## **Objects of the charity** 

24-7 Prayer Stanford (Proximity Church) is a Christian community that operates primarily in Thurrock and the surrounding areas of Essex. The objects of the charity are the provision of supportive projects such as youth work, educational services, pastoral care, acts of worship and projects to benefit the community and the surrounding neighbourhood. 

## **Review and achievements of 2022** 

Proximity Church continues to pursue and practice three core values of:: 

- **Family** : to live and share life as an open and inclusive community; 

- **Sent** : to be prepared to serve and go where the Spirit may lead; 

- **Encounter** : to encounter and experience God. 

These values are the lenses through which we view all Proximity activities, meetings and endeavours. We want these to be the markers of Proximity Church. 

The newly formed Trustee Board and Leadership Team of Proximity Church became well established in 2022, meeting quarterly through the year. This structure has proven to be invaluable, providing a rigorous, accountable and supportive framework around the leadership of the church, its vision and strategy. 

The Leadership team, consisting of Charlotte Harman (Team Leader), Jonathan Biddle and Christie Harman, continued to meet bi-weekly through 2022. In line with our goals, the Leadership were invested heavily in the newly formed “Wider Leadership Team” consisting of House Church Leaders and key leaders within the Church. This group met bi-monthly and has created an environment where leaders are nurtured, equipped, and empowered within the Church. This investment in team and leadership has meant leadership within the church has been responsive, adaptive, and more effective in actualising the Church’s vision and strategy. 

## **House Churches** 

House Churches continued to meet throughout the week with gatherings on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings over a meal. A core practice of Proximity Church is to eat together; we see mealtimes as ways that we can truly live out our values and welcome others to join us. In 2022 we were very privileged to have a couple of refugee individuals and families join these mealtimes, with some of them becoming core members within the wider life of the church. We wanted to give these families our very best. Each House Church therefore embraced a refugee family or individuals and were able to tailor pastoral support and form deeper relationships. We also had other new members and families join our House Churches; this grassroots growth is what success looks like to Proximity Church. 

## **Encounter Sundays** 

Encounter Sundays are core to Proximity Church membership as this is the only opportunity within the month where all Proximity Church members (and guests) gather. These often have a celebratory feel and end with a large meal. Members from the church contribute in many ways to make Encounter Sundays happen, such as preparing food, setting up, speaking or leading in other ways.

**24-7 Prayer Stanford (Charity Commission No. 1146983) Trustees Annual Report For the Year Ended 31 December 2022** 

## **Learning** 

For both our Community Learning and Family Learning we studied the six values of 24-7 Prayer.  The leaders chose this as a way of centering the Church upon practices and values that were key in the early establishment of Proximity Church. Since COVID, it felt right to revisit these foundations for both old and new members. Proximity Church invited speakers to share their hearts and thoughts from the wider 24-7 Prayer Network. These times have been formative and inspiring. 

## **Prayer** 

We continued to seek after a monthly prayer rhythm. Once a month, Proximity Church led Prayer Walks in Stanford and Corringham. These times were open to the wider local church network and have proven to be a brilliant way to connect with other churches and individuals in the area. We managed to prayer walk every street in our town. 

Proximity Church, in partnership with Fresh Hope Church, hosted three pop-up 24-7 Prayer Weeks in Victoria Road Chapel. These 24-7 Prayer Weeks take a lot of investment but have proven to be a real highlight for the church. It is a reminder of how our Church is suffering by not having a permanent place of prayer and reinforces our desire for one even more. Charl Harman has been in contact with local estate agents, the council and other churches to see if there is a possibility of a local Prayer Space being established. These discussions are on-going. 

## **Communication** 

Our contracted communication consultant, Lobster Digital, continues to be an invaluable asset to our church community providing regular updates to our website. The publishing of talks, blogs and social media posts, enables the church to have a local and national interface. The website has become a key platform for members and guests to keep up with church life and provides the leadership team with a platform to communicate succinctly and effectively. Furthermore, the videos and media content produced by Lobster Digital enable the church to promote themselves in an authentic and aesthetically pleasing manner. 

## **Team Leader Role** 

Charlotte Harman continued to be employed as the Team Leader for Proximity Church. This role has created the opportunity for the Leadership Team to have more direction, pace, vision and structure. In this role Charlotte has been able to actualise the charity goals for 2022 through investment in leaders, shaping the church activities, communicating to the church, networking with local leaders and the wider 24-7 Prayer Network and seeking new and creative approaches towards the vision and strategy of the church. 

In November of 2022 Charlotte went on maternity leave and is set to return in September 2023. 

## **Proximity Schools Team** 

Proximity Schools’ team’s contracts commenced on Wednesday 1st September 2021; we employed 5 people with only Joyce Gjoni (Director) as full-time (36 hours). The other 4 members of the team all had parttime contracts that ranged from a minimum of 10 hours to a maximum of 32 hours a week. It is important to say that at the end of the school year we had the joy of adding another part time member to the team and increasing a part time contract by 5 extra hours per week. 

In July 2021 we had signed a Service Level Agreement with the Ortu Federation (Multi-Academy Trust) that provided the services listed below with the following numbers of students who attended during this school year:

## **24-7 Prayer Stanford (Charity Commission No. 1146983) Trustees Annual Report For the Year Ended 31 December 2022** 

o TLG coaching - 6 pupils 

o Mentoring – 72 pupils 

o MADE courses – 12 pupils 

o MADE+ - 24 pupils 

o Covid Catch Up interventions – 190 pupils 

o Reading in Primary School – 48 pupils 

o Summer School – 15 pupils o TOTAL – 367 pupils 

## **Good news** 

In December ‘21, we trained our 3rd MADE Centre which is going to be in Solihull. 

It was a very successful event that made us very proud of the journey we have been on over the years, and the feedback from those who attended the training was extremely positive and encouraging. 

Term 1 was highlighted by a very successful MADE course in Hassenbrook where inner transformation and improved behaviour in our 6 pupils were documented and witnessed by both the students themselves and their teachers. To confirm this, the Head of Year 9, in awe of the growth and change seen in these pupils, sent us a ‘group impact report’: 

Behavioural points: decreased by 32% Isolation Days: decreased by 27% Detentions: decreased by 29%. 

**Mentoring** has also been very fruitful and rewarding. More than ever, we saw positive changes in many of our students who have been struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem and self-harm. We also established deeper relationships with teachers and school staff. More and more we can see how Proximity Schools is getting a voice in the establishment we are working in. 

## **Grants** 

In February 2022, Proximity Schools were awarded the High Sheriff’s grant for a total of £8,700 (£6,700 from the Essex Community Foundation and £2,000 from the High Sheriff’s fund). Additionally, in March the FSJ fund awarded us a further £2,500. All this has been very encouraging. 

## **Summer School** 

We ran a week in August where we had 14 pupils from the whole Trust, from Yr 6 to Yr 10, for 5 hrs a day. The theme was ‘Around the World in 5 days’ where every day we introduced a new country, its traditions and fun facts. The students also learnt to cook a national dish from that country. The feedback from both students and parents was outstanding and the 2 schools were very proud of this achievement too. 

## **Finances** 

This school year ended with a good carry forward of £23,000. The challenge for next year is to raise enough money to cover a bonus that the Board of Trustees have decided to give every member of the team in view of the increase of living costs. Staff will also receive a pay rise starting in September. 

## **Conclusion** 

At the end of the school year the CEO agreed to cutting down on English and Maths tuition and to have Proximity Schools more heavily involved in the spiritual and emotional lives of the three schools. This meant increasing the amount of one-to- one mentoring, extending to our local Primary school too, and introducing 12 new workshops for all year groups in each Secondary School. Through these workshops we will deal with themes such as Resilience, Anger, Anxiety and Healthy Relationships. We will also be offering spiritual reflective spaces where Christianity can be explored by believers and non-believers.

**24-7 Prayer Stanford (Charity Commission No. 1146983) Trustees Annual Report For the Year Ended 31 December 2022** 

Ending the school year on such a high note, gave new hope and purpose to the team and everyone is looking forward to what the new year holds. 

At the end of 2022 the Trustees and Leadership team of Proximity Church set themselves the following goals for the new year: 

- •Prayerfully consider a permanent venue 

- •Look at ways to develop and grow the core Proximity Leadership Team 

- •The multiplication of House churches to be our strategy and mechanism for growth 

- •Maintain and increase the number of Proximity Trustees 

•Develop Schools’ Work and MADE to increase Proximity Church’s capacity to bless and champion individuals and communities both locally and nationally 

•Encourage community members to attend Wildfires festival and/or the annual 24-7 Prayer European conference 

- •Continue to seek new and adaptive ways to bless and serve our town and beyond 

## **Public benefit** 

Having considered the latest Charity Commission guidance on public benefit, the Trustees believe that 24-7 Prayer Stanford is able to evidence support for a wide range of beneficiaries. 

## **Financial Review and reserves policy** 

The charity returned a surplus for the year of £9,576 (2021: £5,631).  At 31 December 2022 the charity held reserves of £71,224 (2021: £61,648). The charity does not hold a significant level of reserves as all incoming funds are applied for charitable purposes. Any reserves held are held for charitable activities. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

The company is a registered company limited by guarantee domiciled and incorporated in England and Wales and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. The registered office is 217 Southend Road, Stanford le Hope, Essex, SS17 7AB. 

The trustees who held office during the year are disclosed on page 1. 

New trustees are appointed to the board who the board believe would put the best interests of the charity first. The board will ensure fairness and transparency in the selection process. 

## **Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities** 

The Trustees and the directors are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the Financial Statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial period which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and applications of resources, including income and expenditure, of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.

**24-7 Prayer Stanford (Charity Commission No. 1146983) Notes to the Financial Statements For the Year Ended 31 December 2022** 

## **1.  Accounting Policies** 

## **Company information** 

24-7 Prayer Stanford is a company limited by guarantee domiciled and incorporated in England and Wales.  The registered office is 217 Southend Road, Stanford le Hope, Essex, SS17 7AB. 

## **(a) Basis of accounting** 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of listed investments which are included at their market value.  The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the 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 effective 1 January 2015 (The FRS 102 Charities SORP), the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011. 

The Trustees confirm that the Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. 

## **(b) Fund accounting** 

- Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. 

- Restricted funds are subject to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal. 

## **(c) Income** 

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to receive the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.  The following policies are applied to particular categories of income: 

- Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable.  Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant. 

- Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified.  The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included in these financial statements. 

- Investment income is included when receivable. 

## **(d) Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred.  Expenditure includes VAT, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates: 

- Costs of raising funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income. 

- 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. 

- All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the SoFA on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource and set out in Note 3. 

## **(e) Going concern** 

At the time of approving the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and for a period of at least 12 months following the approval of these financial statements. Thus the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## **(f) 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. 

## **(g) Government grants** 

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received. 

A grant that specifies performance conditions is recognised in income when the performance conditions are met.  Where a grant does not specify performance conditions it is recognised in income when the proceeds are received or receivable. A grant received before the recognition criteria are satisfied is recognised as a liability. 

Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the grant conditions will be met and the grants will be received. 

A grant that specifies performance conditions is recognised in income when the performance conditions are met.  Where a grant does not specify performance conditions it is recognised in income when the proceeds are received or receivable. A grant received before the recognition criteria are satisfied is recognised as a liability.

## **2.  Critical accounting estimates and judgements** 

In the application of the charitable company’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant.  Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.  Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
