CHRIST CHURCH LOUGHBOROUGH (FORMERLY THE NOTTINGHAM ROAD TRUST)

TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 March 2022

The trustees present their annual directors’ report together with the Financial Statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022 which are also prepared to meet the requirements of the directors’ reports and accounts for Companies Act purposes.

The accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: 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 (FRS102)

(effective 1 January 2015)

Objectives and Activities

The Objectives and Activities of the charity are as follows:

provided that the advancement of such purposes must be undertaken in a manner that is consistent with the Ethical Statements as may be adopted and amended by the CIO from time to time.

We as trustees recognise that it is our legal obligation to ensure that the trust's activities are in line with our objectives and activities. We are satisfied that this is the case for the period in question. The trustees also confirm that they have had regard to the charity commission's guidance on public benefit.

Achievements and Performance

The following activities have been conducted by the charity in the reporting period.

Change of name

On 02 December 2021, a special resolution was agreed and passed by the members to change the name of the charity limited by guarantee from The Nottingham Road Trust to Christ Church Loughborough. This better aligns with the operating identity of the charity.

Update of Articles

On 02 December 2021, a special resolution was agreed and passed by the members to update the Articles of Association which modernised and clarified the charity’s governance document. This followed Charity Commission consent in October 2021.

Conversion to Charitable Incorporated Organisation:

On 18 January 2022, the members signed a written resolution to convert from the structure of a Company Limited by Guarantee and not having a Share Capital to that of a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), as set out under Section 228 of the Charities Act 2011, with the date of conversion set as 01 April 2022. This will be reported-on in our annual report ending 31 March 2023.

On 17 February 2022, the members signed a written resolution to adopt an updated constitution for a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, in-line with approval received from the Charity Commission

The Trust paid Edward Connor Solicitors for services to facilitate the above organisational changes.

Church Planting:

The trust continues to support North Church Leicester which was initially a plant from Christ Church Loughborough.

Salaries:

We have supported two church elders and an administrative team’s salaries over this period. These individuals have been employed as staff members for The Nottingham Road Trust (now Christ Church Loughborough). This has enabled the charity to meet its Purposes through them being employed to provide training and teaching which promotes the Christian Faith in accordance with the Basis of Faith, to provide administrative support for the charity’s activities and by promoting the Christian faith directly themselves as evangelists as well as equipping and training others to do the same.

Church Building:

Since 2018 the charity has owned a church building on Herbert Street in Loughborough. We use this for church meetings and other activities. The charity is currently overseeing an ongoing project to renovate the building. A significant amount of money was spent to underpin the building’s foundations, in order to maintain the building’s structural integrity in the long term.

Church Resources:

The Trust has paid for general resources for the charity to enable the church’s work of promoting the Christian faith. This includes buying new print resources, funds for refreshments at services and church publicity.

CCLI, CCPAS, Insurance:

We have paid money to CCLI, CCPAS and to gain insurance. This is necessary for the charity to run events which promote the Christian faith through church services and young people's work.

- 3 -

Events:

Two principal events were supported by the charity over this period. Firstly, we supported a week of evangelistic events in August 2021 in the local area to promote the Christian faith. Secondly, we ran a Carol Service in December 2021 on the playground of a local school to promote the Christian faith.

Financial Review:

The Trust had an income this financial year of £109,110 and a total expenditure of £150,690 leading to a net loss of £41,580. We started the year with funds of £140,534 and so ended the year with a balance of £98,954. The trust feels this leaves us in a strong position to pursue our goals into the future.

Reserves Policy:

The following is the reserves policy of Christ Church Loughborough (from hereon known as CCL).

Money will be held in reserve for the following two reasons: 

  - a. Three months' running costs will be kept in reserve at all times; this amount will be decided upon annually at the AGM.

  - b. Money may be set aside for one-off projects, which fit with CCL’s objectives and require setting money aside (e.g. raising money for a building). Projects will be principally decided upon and initiated by the Trustees and then reported at the next trustees’ meeting.

- 4 -

Structure, Governance and Management

The company is registered as a charitable company limited by guarantee and was set up by the Memorandum of Association on 29 July 2011.

The management of the company is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of Articles of Association.
