We adapted to this new situation. Sunday services continue to be streamed by YouTube and a mid-week meeting continues to take place on Zoom. Very few church meetings have been held. Members have used online banking to give. Members that are without digital communication have been contacted by telephone and post including a monthly church letter. People have visited the elderly and infirm where they can on a regular basis. Pastoral care of the local congregations has been carried out by the local pastors. We have still been unable to carry out our Homeless ministry but the Senior Citizens recommenced in April. The Sunday morning services are normally conducted in English. Other congregations which come under the umbrella of Southall Baptist Church are carried out in their mother tongues of Punjabi/Urdu/Portuguese/Lingala/Kachin. Being aware of the Commissions guidance on public benefit and in particular the specific guidance on Charities for the advancement of religion people are encouraged to live out their faith by taking part in worship and prayer learning about the Gospel and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus. ## **WORSHIP AND PRAYER** Prayer groups are normally available throughout the week giving people the opportunity for quiet times, but these too have been carried out online. As of 31 December 2021, there were 241 church members. These numbers would not necessarily reflect the true attendance at services as these are also attended by non-members. We would normally carry out dedication services for new-born children and adult baptism by immersion following a person becoming a Christian. In normal times we are licensed to register Marriages and Blessing of Marriages (following Registry Office weddings). Funeral services for members of the church family and the community are taken. ## **CHURCH** Due to the pandemic proposed renovations to the building were put on hold except for the complete reflooring of the main church. ## **PASTORAL CARE** A Seniors Group runs two mornings a week in the building together with café facilities. This serves the local community. Fixtures and fitments for this are the responsibility of the church. Fire, Health and Safety regulations are complied with. Sunday schools recommenced in September but numbers have been far lower than before the pandemic. ## **MISSION AND EVANGELISM** Several congregations have been set up under the umbrella of Southall Baptist Church where the pastors of these small congregations have needed visas. To encourage these congregations, it has necessitated in the church successfully applying for a further four-year sponsorship licence for Tier 2 Minister of Religion from the UK Border Agency. The ethnic diversity of the church enriches church life. We are closely related to the local Medical Centre. The Kachin Church which meets in the Hammond Road building are still trying to buy these premises which we hold in trust. ## **FINANCE** Total receipts of unrestricted funds were £74,823. Total receipts of restricted funds were £3,996. These were gifts for specific purposes, Asian Convention, The Baptist World Mission (Birthday Scheme), Seniors, Sunday School and ROPE. We carried forward £258,543. Building Fund stood at £3,821. 4 ## **SOUTHALL BAPTIST CHURCH** ## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2021** ## **FINANCE (continued)** For most of the year giving continues to largely be made through online banking which has been separately annotated. Following the restrictions due to the pandemic the Christian International Community Hayes (Hayes Methodist Church) were not able to meet until the latter part of the year which has meant a reduced income for them. The accounts were balanced each month. By the end of 2021 our Payroll consisted of 6 pastors/workers, one of which is funded through their own congregation giving and passing through the account of Southall Baptist Church. Tax, National Insurance Contributions and Employers National Insurance Contributions were paid through Southall Baptist Church. Two pastors are enrolled on the NEST pension scheme. We were also able to continue to take advantage of the Government Job Retention Scheme for two of our employees. This continued until September when they recommenced work. The buildings of the former Baptist Churches at Harmondsworth and Hatton Road, Bedfont were under the umbrella of Southall Baptist Church. We continue to be responsible for Harmondsworth Baptist Church but following heavy winds in August the roof of Hatton Road, Bedfont was destroyed and the building is now the responsibility of the London Baptist Property Board. The church property at 25 Tilney Road is let to a church family, as is a flat at the rear of the church. All income and payments for the latter two properties are passed through the Church Rent Account. ## **GOVERNANCE** The church is a member of the London Baptist Association, The Baptist Union of Great Britain and The Evangelical Alliance. Leaders of the main church have met weekly online to discuss pastoral matters. The deacons/trustees would normally meet bi-monthly mainly to discuss and implement the administration of the church and its buildings. These meetings have been online. From the middle of the year more face-to-face meetings are being held including church and deacons meetings. 5 SOUTHALL BAPTIST CHURCH TRusfEES' REPORT (conttnued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2021 ar￿Y law require5 the PA)wd of Trust&s to prEpare fin￿C￿l St&￿n￿ts frr e￿h financ*l year whtm glve true and falr view Lf the state rf affr&s rf the charlty (* inuThing reSuJrc￿ ano resfAJrces expended *hÈ In preparing thcG• knancial statwnÉr**s, dTrus*4oB shotsk4 fol￿ bast prxti¢e and ¥e to: 5elert SUEab￿ xcc41ntkng prAkles app￿ thsn £L￿56t￿t make Judgments e5tlmate5 th& are reasonab￿ and prUd￿t comply with appr￿able Kcountlng stand¥ds subi&t to any rnat￿l dep*ture5 di5(kk58J in the flnanch31 Stat￿n￿t5 prepare the fmancBI stat8na)ts the g￿g CLmcern basis unkn fc ts fftappropriate to presume that charity Mrill C￿tInUe in cperat¥Jn The ErfJard ofTrustees Ls reSp￿Sib* Manta￿Ing prcper KC￿Jnt￿g rwds whrh di5cknse Mth reasonab accukcy at any tirne the FinancKI1 pc6*K•) of the charity and to en￿>￿ thwn to ￿SUre that the ffftanc staternents cimpty with the charit￿ Art 1993.

The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required 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: - examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, - to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of independent examiner’s statement** My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 the 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 matter has come to my attention 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 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.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES** ## **a) Basis of Preparation** The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention (as modified to include the revaluation of investments) in accordance with the Charities Act 2011, Statement of Recommended Practice - "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" (SORP 2015), applicable accounting standards. The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102, and being a small charity has claimed exemption under Section 1a not to prepare a cash flow statement. **b)** Donations are accounted for gross when received. ## **c) Legacies** Legacies are accounted for when their receipt is certain and can be properly quantified. ## **d) Investment Income** Investment income is included in the accounts in the year it is receivable. ## **e) Fund Raising and Publicity Costs** The church does not make formal appeals for funds, and expenditure on these items is therefore not material. ## **f) Grants Payable** The church makes grants to other organisations whose charitable objects complement its work. They are accounted for in the year in which they are paid. ## **g) Governance Costs** This represents direct expenditure on the governance of the church. Most of the management is carried out without charge by volunteers. This intangible cost is not included in the Statement of Financial Activities since there is no measurable cost to volunteers for their service. ## **h) Fixed Assets** The church premises are included in the balance sheet at Insurance value because reliable cost information is not available, and valuation would incur significant costs which would be onerous compared with the additional benefit gained by the user of the accounts. Furniture and Equipment in the church premises is included at cost or net realisable value. ## **i) Depreciation** Depreciation has not been charged on the Church or Manse premises, because in the opinion of the Trustees, the residual value of the asset is not less than the original cost price. Depreciation on other fixed assets are calculated to write off the cost on a reducing balance basis over their expected useful life, at the following rates: Equipment 25% ## **j) Investment Assets** Quoted investments are stated at market value. All other investment assets are shown at cost price. ## **k) Changes in Accounting policies and previous accounts** There has been no change to the accounting policies (variation rules and methods of accounting) since last year, and no changes to the previous accounts.
