Affiliations

The Church is a member of the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches (“FIEC”) which is a Registered Charity (No. 263354). It is also a charity registered in Scotland (SC040111).

The FIEC is an affiliation of like-minded churches situated in the United Kingdom. The aim of the FIEC is to see the whole of our nation – every citizen and every community – reached and transformed by the good news of the Lord Jesus Christ, which seeks to achieve its aims by providing pastoral, practical, training and mission support to its members.

Dewsbury Evangelical Church pays an annual donation to the organisation and engages in various joint meetings and activities with the FIEC.

Related Parties

European Missionary Fellowship (Charity No. 1071823) (Company No. 03631207) Gospel Yorkshire (Charity No. 1168283)

Spen Valley Church (Charity No. 1173974)

One of the Trustees (Daniel Grimwade) is also a director of European Missionary Fellowship. The overriding aim of EMF is to establish Biblical Christianity throughout Europe. Daniel Grimwade serves as a trustee of EMF.

He also served as a trustee of the following organisations:

• Spen Valley Church, a church that has been started in the Kirklees area of West Yorkshire. All these organisations embrace the work of evangelism, church-planting and supporting gospel churches, whilst at the same time encouraging them to become self-governing and self-supporting. Except for reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses, he does not receive any remuneration for his involvement. He fulfils these roles with the approval and permission of the Church.

Risk Management

Over this period the Trustees have considered the risks to which the charity is exposed and believe they have put appropriate controls in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud, loss and error. In particular:

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objects

The Charity's objects, as set out in the MEMARTS, are restricted to:

  1. The advancement of the Christian faith for the benefit of the public in accordance with the Statement of Faith, and

  2. The relief of hardship, either generally or individually, of people through the provision of grants, gifts, goods or services.

Charity aims and activities

The Church aims to fulfil its dual Objectives as set out below:

Advancement of the Christian Faith:

By providing regular opportunities for people to see, hear, or read the message of the Christian Gospel. This message is set out in the Bible and centres on the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Church does not discriminate between people on the basis of race, culture, gender or age. These opportunities to hear the Gospel may be presented in person, produced in writing, or published on the Congregations’ websites and may take the form of: collective sermons; Bible studies delivered to smaller groups of individuals or on a one-to-one basis; written material, for example magazines, e- shots and tracts; electronic recording of sermons, lectures and discussions.

Relief of Hardship:

By receiving and responding to appeals from individuals, groups or organisations in need of prayerful and or practical and or financial relief from hardship and assistance. The Church sets aside a proportion of its annual income which it makes available in the form of grants in accordance with the Church’s grant-making policy.

Grant-making policy

The Trustees regularly make grants to individuals and organisations for purposes that are consistent with the Church’s Objects. Grants are made either:

The Trustees receive applications either by direct approach to the Church or by personal contact with and knowledge of members of the Congregations or their officers. These applications are considered by the Church Officers at regular meetings and grants are made after considering each application on its merits.

The Church Officers allocate a proportion of the church’s projected income annually to grant-making. During the year approximately 10% of the church’s income was allocated to support either missionaries and other Christian organisations in furtherance of the Christian faith, or individuals in need of support for the relief of individual hardship.

DEWSBURY EVANGELICAL CHURCH

ANNUAL REPORT Year Ended 30 September 2020

Beneficiaries of significant grants are encouraged to provide regular updates on the progress of their work either by means of written reports or by personal presentations to the assembled Congregation members.

Public benefit

In planning the activities the Trustees have had regard to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission in September 2013.

The Church aims to advance the Christian faith by conducting various meetings, activities and events that are open to any member of the public, free of charge. These meetings, activities and events include:

These activities benefit the public in various ways including:

ANNUAL REPORT Year Ended 30 September 2020

Reserves policy

The Trustees regularly review the charity’s requirement for reserves and set a policy to hold an appropriate level of reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation, any actual or potential changes to the charity, and the level of future planned activities.

The Trustees monitor and compare the actual reserves (the total of unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets) against the Reserves Policy to ensure that the Charity’s planned expenditure is managed in accordance with the Policy.

The Trustees maintained the Policy to hold the reserves at a level which is planned to be sufficient to cover the Charity’s estimated liabilities in the event of a winding up, which the Trustees estimate to be £20,000.

The current General Fund balance exceeds this agreed policy level, however, it is anticipated that the Church will need to review the current expenditure plans as the General Fund balance is expected to continue to reduce to meet the current plans over the course of the next 12 to 24 months.

Investment Policy

The Officers have considered the balances of the various Church Funds held from time to time and have agreed the following policy.

Due to the nature of the fluctuations in the general income and expenditure of the Church during a year, General Funds are held in a current account without notice.

ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

Review of charitable activities in the year

In furtherance of its aims, the Charity expends funds to provide facilities and resources to bring Biblical instruction to people of all ages and backgrounds locally in Dewsbury and Wakefield and, more widely, elsewhere in the world. These aims are carried out through the two Congregations, working independently but under the legal framework of the Charity.

During the period covered by this report, we have continued our charitable work in the community and wider area and have experienced a number of encouragements and some disappointments during the year. We have experienced how God is working through us, and in us, through these events, some of which are detailed below:

Conclusion

11 | P a g e

DEWSBURY EVANGELICAL CHURCH

ANNUAL REPORT Year Ended 30 September 2020

Factors within and outside of the charity’s control

The Trustees regularly review the principal risks and other factors which have the potential to affect the performance and or functioning of the Church, which, the Trustees assess, is largely dependent upon the various relationships which the Church and its members have with the local community and the rest of humanity and the Church’s relationship with God himself. Clearly, these relationships are under the influence but not control of the Church.

Financially, the Church is reliant on the significant level of income tax refunded on voluntary donations recovered under the UK Government’s Gift Aid scheme.

Clearly, the Church is also subject to other event-related risk, the most significant of which are covered by the Church’s various insurance policies. Other key factors are the various internal and operational controls which are within the control of the Trustees.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The Church’s Annual Accounts (titled “Financial Statements”), which have been filed at Companies House, have been produced separately from the Church’s Annual Report (this document).

These two documents collectively form the Church’s Annual Report and Accounts and should be read in conjunction with each other.

The Trustees are satisfied that the Charity is financially viable and sustainable in the short- to mediumterm with its existing cash reserves, expected further growth, and continued voluntary donations.

Principal funding sources

Income is derived from the Church members and other interested parties making regular and one-off donations. Many members give under the Gift Aid scheme and the Church is permitted to reclaim income tax on their giving. Some donations are given with a specific purpose such as a particular activity or project. These are defined as restricted in the accounts.

Review of fundraising in the year

During the period, the Church received total incoming resources of £308,279 (2019: £354,259). This year the total incoming resources has been significantly increased due to gifts for the building of the new front entrance to our main building in Dewsbury (£72,000), and gifts from the FIEC for the work at Eastmoor (£25,000) and the work of the evangelist working in Dewsbury (£20,000). Normally the largest proportion of these resources is received in the form of voluntary income from the members of the Congregations.

The members of the Congregations donate regular church offerings and monthly donations to contribute to the operation of the Church. During the period, these donations (including related Gift Aid tax) amounted to £86,783 (2019: £85,863). The Church does not make regular appeals for this form of income but relies on the generous spirit of the members.

Review of expenditure

12 | P a g e

DEWSBURY EVANGELICAL CHURCH

ANNUAL REPORT Year Ended 30 September 2020

The Church’s total expenditure for the year was £213,773 (2019: £209,454 comprising: Unrestricted Fund expenditure of £100,586 (2019: £99,332) and Restricted Fund expenditure of £113,187 (2019: £110,122).

A large proportion of the Unrestricted Fund expenditure relates to ministry costs, which include the costs of the pastor (employed on a full-time basis) and pastoral and evangelistic activities. The remainder of Unrestricted Fund expenditure relates to the operation and maintenance of the Church’s building at Dewsbury.

The Church’s Restricted Fund expenditure primarily relates to the support of the Church’s full-time trainee pastor, the support of the full-time evangelist working in the Dewsbury area and the costs associated with Grace Church Wakefield, including the costs of employing their pastor. This year there was additional expenditure on the refurbishment of some areas of the building as part of the new front entrance project.

Full details are set out in Notes 14 and 15 of the Financial Statements.

General Fund reserves

The balance of General Funds held in cash at the end of the period was £26,596 (2019: £41,017).

Review of investment performance

During the year, the Church received £135 (2019: £110) in interest on Unrestricted and Restricted Funds held in current and deposit accounts, which represents a return which is reflective of the general level of deposit rates in the current market.

Plans for the future

There are no current plans to make any significant changes to the Church’s operations.

DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES

Company and charity law requires us as Directors to prepare financial statements for each accounting year which give a true and fair view of the state of the charity and of its income and expenditure for the year.

In preparing the financial statements, the Directors acknowledge their responsibility:

  1. To select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;

  2. To make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

  3. To state whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts;

  4. To prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in business.
