## **THE BRIDGE BATTERSEA**
## **REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS FOR YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2023**
The directors, who are the trustees for the purposes of charity law, present their report with the financial statements of the charitable company for the year ended 31st March 2023.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing Document**
The charity is a company limited by guarantee, as defined in the Companies Act 2006, and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association.
## **Recruitment and appointment of new directors**
Existing directors invite new suitably qualified directors to join the board as and when required. Andrew Campbell joined the board on 1 June 2023.
## **Risk management**
The directors have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and, where possible, they take appropriate measures to mitigate those risks.
## **Employment Policy and Remuneration:**
The Bridge Battersea employs four members of staff:
Mr Tom Dowding (since November 2017) Mr Viv Campbell (since September 2018) Mrs Rachel Roach (since February 2022) Mrs Samantha Reeve (since September 2022)
Mrs Samantha Reeve was employed as administrator in September 2022.
The directors of The Bridge Battersea directors do not receive remuneration from The Bridge Battersea. Directors are allowed to submit expense claims for expenditure incurred directly on behalf of The Bridge Battersea for any of its charitable activities.
However the spouses of two directors do receive remuneration: Rachel Roach (spouse of Jason Roach) and Tom Dowding (spouse of Sarah Dowding). After taking legal advice, the charity asked the Charity Commission for permission to employ Rachel Roach and this was granted. Steps have been taken to avoid issues of conflict of interests influencing governance as follows:
1. Andrew Campbell has been appointed as a fourth director to avoid a majority of directors having conflicts of interest.
2. An independent panel of staff and elders will make recommendations on any necessary decisions regarding the employment of Tom and Rachel and only non-conflicted trustees will act to approve these decisions.

## **REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS FOR YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2023 continued**
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and aims**
The charity was established to advance the Christian faith by means of Bible teaching and outreach programmes in Battersea, and to provide support to those engaged in advancing the Christian faith in other parts of the United Kingdom and abroad.
## **Public benefit**
The directors have considered the Charity Commissions' guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance in relation to charities for the advancement of religion and are satisfied that the activities of The Bridge Battersea fall within such guidance.
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Charitable activities**
The Bridge Battersea operates as a Christian community centre in Battersea, undertaking a number of charitable activities.
The Bridge Battersea invites willing individuals (primarily residents of Battersea) to meet every Sunday for a Christian service, with separate adult and children’s programmes. It advertises this event on its website, through outreach in the locality, and prominently through all the events referred to below.
In addition to the above, The Bridge Battersea holds various community outreach groups and events during the week (in midweek evenings and afternoons) to study the Bible, pray and have social time together. This is advertised at the main Sunday event and through publicity by email, social media, posters and text message alerts.
Community outreach activities undertaken by The Bridge Battersea include:
- a) Bridge breakfast - a weekly free social gathering, where free food is provided for brunch and to take home for weekly supplies followed by a Bible study
- b) Seniors Lunch Club – a monthly free lunch, social gathering and Bible study for local elderly people.
- c) Occasional breakfast discussion group for local men.
- d) Periodic family fun days, community meals, book clubs and social gatherings for men/women.
- e) Short term courses (4-8 weeks), such as Christianity Explored, for those wishing to investigate the Christian faith.
- f) The RISE Leadership Academy for black boys aged 10-14 in need of academic help and mentoring in association with the local state primary schools. Bespoke sessions have been held in both Westbridge Primary School and St John Bosco Secondary school. In addition we provide mentoring for children in the school.
The Bridge Battersea is also committed to supporting individuals volunteering or training to serve in Christian ministry. The Bridge Battersea makes charitable donations towards the living costs and training of Christians undergoing a period of Christian ministry training or volunteering.

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Results for the year**
During the year income increased by £59,735 to £188,887, and expenditure increased by £911 to £119,570. The substantial increase in income was largely due to a gift of £70,000 from London City Mission after agreement was reached to vary the terms of a lease for a property they owned so that it could be developed. As a result the charity has reported a surplus this year of £69,317 (2021/2022: a surplus of £10,493) and net assets increased by that amount to £171,346. Net assets included cash of £151,104, of which £132,852 is unrestricted.
## **Reserves policy**
The charity aims to maintain reserves equal to no less than three months' projected unrestricted expenditure, which equates to about £28,000, so that the charity could continue to operate should income and / or expenditure vary adversely. The charity ended the year with free reserves (which the charity defines as being unrestricted net current assets) of £141,451; this is expected to reduce over the coming year as the charity plans to use some of its reserves.
## **FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS**
The Bridge Battersea will continue to exist and operate according to its aims and objectives, and seek to continue its charitable activities in the upcoming year.
## **DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER COMPANY LAW**
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 year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing these financial statements, the Directors are required to:
1. select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
2. observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
3. make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
4. state whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
5. prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF**
## **THE BRIDGE BATTERSEA ('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2023 on pages 7 to 14 following, which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out on pages 9 and 10.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity’s trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **THE BRIDGE BATTERSEA**
## **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.
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 trustees (who are the charitable company's directors for the purposes of company law) have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular the trustees have considered the charity's forecasts and projections and the possible implications should projected income and / or expenditure vary unexpectedly. The trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
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, grants and legacies includes recoverable gift aid, which 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.
Facilities, goods and services donated for the charity's own use are recognised as income when receivable at their value to the charity. 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.
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.
Income from charitable activities represents, principally, income from letting the church's facilities.
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.
d) Fund accounting Unrestricted funds are funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. 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 equipment is depreciated on a straight line basis over 3 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.

## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**
## **2 Accounting Policies continued**
- f) Leased assets Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the charity are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term (unless another systematic basis is more representative of use).
## 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.
- i) Financial instruments The charity's financial assets and financial liabilities all qualify as basic financial instruments, as defined by FRS102. Creditors and debtors are measured at their expected settlement value (normally the amount of cash that the charity expects to pay or receive).
## j) Exemption from preparing a cashflow statement
The charity has taken advantage of an exemption conferred by the Charities SORP and has not prepared a cash flow statement.
- k) Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement The trustees do not consider that there any material sources of estimation or uncertainty at the balance sheet date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities in the next reporting period.
