BAM Annual Report 2022-23 ## **Bethel Apostolic Ministries (BAM)** ## **Trustees Report of The Year Ended 31[st] August 2023.** ## **Objects** The primary aims of the Charity are to fulfil the role of a Christian Church and to provide help to others in promoting the Christian faith in the United Kingdom and overseas. ## **Church Mission Statement** Our mission is to: - reach out to all with the Gospel of Jesus Christ - be all things to all men, that we might save some. Reaching the lost will always be the principle objective of the Church and a goal that will supersede all other aims and objectives. We strive to be relevant in the local community. Crossing racial and social barriers, demonstrating God’s love both practically and spiritually, that souls will come to the knowledge of the truth through conviction, leading to conversion and obedience to the Faith. ## **Aims and Objectives** The Church is not a building, but a gathering of ordinary people of different ages and backgrounds whose lives have been changed by the Lord Jesus Christ. Our motto : ## ‘ _Word. Worship. Witness’_ describes the ethos and activities of the church. The New Testament reveals the Church as a community of people, correctly taught and nurtured. These, by loving and serving Jesus Christ were also 1 BAM Annual Report 2022-23 committed to love and care for each other and to bring a blessing to the regions in which they resided. BAM’s Trustees, Officers and Members are committed to the restoration of these New Testament principles. ## **Governance and Management** Directions relating to the charity arm of the business are undertaken by the Trustees. The Senior Minister and Officers are responsible for governing the life and teaching of the church. The Treasurer deals with the day-to-day decisions on expenditure and activities, with budgets set and monitored by the trustees. The powers of appointment or removal of Trustees rests with the members. New trustees are primarily selected from the members of the church and from the leaders of other local assemblies sharing the same vision. On being appointed, new trustees spend time with existing trustees to ensure that they understand their responsibilities and the legal and financial framework in which the church operates. On the 3[rd] July 2023, Miss Naomi Lear resigned her position as Chair and Trustee of the Trustee Board, after having faithfully served BAM in this capacity for more than a decade. We the Trustee board, thank her for the commitment, passion, wisdom and knowledge that she has shared with us, by the help of God, to bring BAM to its current state. We wish her the very best for the future, knowing that she will continue to be a valuable supporter of the charity. ## **Achievements and Performance** 2 BAM Annual Report 2022-23 We endeavour to maintain connections with the members who are unable to attend regularly by visiting/making contact via telephone calls. A proportion of the senior members continue to isolate due to their infirmity and vulnerability. BAM’s website under the heading of BAMChurch.co.uk where members of the public can view details of the charity, is a work in progress as various short videos featuring different aspects of BAM church life are being selected to place on the site. We have acquired new equipment which will enable streaming at an improved level to be performed. ## **Building** The Trustees endeavour to maintain the building in a state of good repair. As stated in previous Annual Reports, there have been major issues with the roof. At the beginning of the year, although work had been performed on the roof, prior to Christmas 2022, the actual state of the problem deteriorated with increased leakage of rainwater, causing internal damage, inconvenience and heavy hearts. This has now been finally rectified. All that remains, is the internal plastering of walls and ceilings affected by the water damage, to be performed. ## **Policies** The Trustee Board endeavour to maintain and adhere to our policies and review as necessary. ## **Covid Requirements** Although lockdown requirements are no longer in place, in view of the intermittent spikes in the cases of Covid, we continue to follow guidance and provide hand sanitiser gel and masks for those who choose to utilise these items, which are placed in the entrance foyer and at strategic points in the sanctuary. ## **Community Events** 3 BAM Annual Report 2022-23 During the Spring and Summer holiday period, activities were organised serving both children of the community and membership. The activities included making quick and easy baked goods and sporting activities. Mid-summer, the travel for the youth was sponsored, to attend the Himley Park Festival. This event encourages creativity, positivity and play in a safe place. A Youth Mentoring Service ‘Kidzcoaching’ continues, facilitated by a charity member. A 1:1 coaching project for ladies, facilitated by a member, has also taken place. The building has been used by various groups: - A local drama group as an examination venue. - A project, mentoring young females. ## **Training** Members of the Charity, including the youth, were given the opportunity to complete the Food Safety Level 2 Course, provided by ‘Job Change’ Wolverhampton. All participants successfully completed the course. This qualification is imperative when preparing foods for the public. One member also renewed their Emergency First Aid qualification with ‘Job Change’ . No training for the Trustees board occurred. ## **Financial Review** 4 BAM Annual Report 2022-23 As of the 29[th ] August 2023 the current account balance was £40,855 Credit is therefore to be attributed to the members for their ongoing contributions. Income for the year at £30,241 and was similar to previous year at £31,662, Expenditure for the year was £29,219 compared to £23,712 for 2022 .The increase in expenditure was inflation in routine costs £777 with premises costing £4,730 more, this was primarily the already mentioned roof issues There were HMRC Refunds **in** September 2023 for the Charity **of £5,217** from Gift Aid contributions and a further **£653** in April 2023 from the Gift Aid Small Donation Scheme.(GADS) re ungifted aided income presented as weekly cash offerings ## **Fundraising Activities** In the winter of 2022, a youth member was supported by the Charity to perform a ‘Bake Sale’ in aid of the Ukraine Appeal, baking delicious savoury and sweet items. A display area highlighting facts about the Ukraine including the food, language and music was the focus of the evening. ## **Community Aid** The church recognises the need to reach out to victims and the vulnerable. The church continues to provide a ‘Hardship Fund’ for those who are experiencing financial difficulties. A manageable repayment schedule is agreed with the recipient. Foods collected during Harvest of 2022, were given to the Good Shepherd charity for distribution to those in need and some vulnerable members. ## **Plans for the New Year** 5 BAM Annual Report 2022-23 Our aim in the short-term is two-fold: To fill the vacant position of the Chairmanship of the Trustee Board. To continue to maintain links with the housebound. Approximately a quarter of the membership are vulnerable due to physical infirmity. We endeavour to keep in contact to try to alleviate loneliness and isolation. A medium-term goal continues to be the acquisition of another minibus. The long-term goal remains the acquisition of land or an alternative building allowing for expansion of the property which would enable us to serve the community at large, signposting to and working with other agencies to provide financial, health and social assistance. The Wolverhampton Council have recently made contact regarding the A454 Road Widening Scheme, suggesting but not compelling the relocation of BAM. Two alternative church buildings were offered to BAM, but after prayer and careful consideration were deemed unfeasible. **Risk Management** 6 BAM Annual Report 2022-23 All major insurable risks are subject to normal Churches and Employers and Public Liability insurance. Contractual risks are reviewed before being entered into to assess that they could not significantly impact upon the church’s ability to fulfil its objectives. An annual review of areas of risk is undertaken by the trustees in conjunction with church members and volunteers responsible for the area of activity. The problem with the roof led to areas of the sanctuary for health and safety reasons to be inaccessible. These areas were cordoned off to prevent the occurrence of accidents. Strategies, although not as stringent as previously relating to reducing the risk of Covid cross-contamination within the sanctuary, are adopted. ## **Statement of Trustees Responsibilities** 7 BAM Annual Report 2022-23 Charity law requires the trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the situation of the Charity and of the profit and loss of the Charity for that period. In preparing these accounts, the trustees are required to:- - Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently. - Adjust and make estimates that are reasonable and prudent. - Prepare the accounts on the going concern basis, unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in operation. The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The trustees confirm that the accounts comply with current statutory requirements and those of the Charity’s Trust Deed.
