3. Structure, Governance and Management
As an Assemblies of God church, we are an autonomous church, though we do adhere to certain statements of faith and governance in accordance with Assemblies of God policy.
Enjoy Church currently has a Board of 4 Directors who are responsible for ensuring all appropriate policies (i.e., financial, legal, health & safety, safeguarding and building) are being followed in line with the mission of the charity.
All members are encouraged to take an appropriate part in the spiritual and practical tasks involved in the furtherance of the charitable activities.
During 2021 we employed the following members of staff…
-
On a part-time fixed term contract (funded by the DWP Kickstart Scheme), a Trainee Livestream Technician. This position is for a fixed 6 months starting on 1 September 2021 and terminating on 28 February 2022.
-
On a full-time basis, a Youth Pastor and Administrator, this is an on-going appointment that encompasses the roles of Youth Pastor and Administrator with responsibility for overseeing the properties owned by The Church.
-
On a part-time basis, a Children’s Pastor and through this appointment we have seen significant improvements to our provision for both Children and Families (both inside and outside the church). This position is on a part time basis (18 Hours / Week) starting on 6 September 2021.
The Management of the church was restructured during 2019 to better align with our longer-term goals. Along with new, individual focuses for each Pastoral area, greater autonomy and the introduction of individual budget responsibility was given to Pastoral

ENJOY CHURCH LIMITED REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Leaders to enable this team to make quicker decisions to fulfil their goals. This has proved to be a positive decision that is now bearing its fruit during 2021.
A new ‘Core Team’ was also put in place to focus on the creative direction of the church; During the 2021 the Core Team developed its Strategy for the church to improve our long-term capabilities of achieving our Mission – “to show people who Jesus is” – and this strategy was shared with the wider church during the year. This strategy has been outworked through the work of the Core Team and the Pastoral Team. This has resulted in the production of a Church Health Plan which has been implemented across all pastoral and ministry teams and formed the basis for our budget in 2022.
4. COVID-19
4.1. Overview
In 2021 the charity continued to take steps (in line with government advice and guidance) to help contain the outbreak of COVID-19. This included temporary suspensions of all physical gatherings, and the charity had to curtail, or change, how it operated; the charity has been able to continue some of its activities using online media.
As the Directors continue to monitor income and expenditure they will take measures to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on the charity’s free reserves. During 2021 there was no need to call upon our reserves.
4.2. Outcomes
In March 2020 in-person meetings were stopped and we immediately moved to ‘online services’, streaming from our own facility (Avon Way Hall, Portishead). During this time, we have consistently seen evidence that we are reaching a new, wider audience through our increased Online activity. As the restrictions eased in 2021, we were able to resume in-person meetings, but we also continue to stream our meetings on-line for those who were reluctant to meet with others.
In March/April 2020 the potential economic impact of Coronavirus on church finances was assessed, and it was concluded that, although lost revenue from cancelled Bookings in our 2 venues would partially be offset by saved costs in not Hiring the (much larger) Somerset Hall for Sunday Services, there was still expected to be a modest monthly deficit until our 2 venues reopened and bookings income resumed. In response to this, an immediate call was made to the pastoral and ministry teams to only consider spending funds on essential goods and services, to be reviewed once more clarity was available on the financial implications of the Coronavirus Pandemic.

Version 2.0
ENJOY CHURCH LIMITED REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Small grants from the Local Authority to help us to cater for the reduction in income have helped us to mitigate some of the impact of the reduction in hall bookings and this, accompanied by the return to hall bookings in 2021 has meant that the overall finances of the charity have not been adversely affected in 2021.
Despite this tumultuous time, Donations and Tythes, our largest income steam, has remained consistent and the Church Bank Balance has remained stable through 2021. This has given the Directors the confidence to continue with the planned for Church growth in 2022.
A number of significant events have impacted upon the finances of the charity as outlined below…
-
A gift from Dorothea for £17,000.00 was received and distributed as requested. This gift was not considered to be restricted but has been distributed as requested. Dorothea is a Company that is part owned by one of the Enjoy Church Directors.
-
A single designated gift of £15,000 from Revival Church to supplement our expected costs relating to our proposed new building (see the section below for more details). This has been ringfenced and moved to a separate deposit account at the Co-Operative Bank.
-
Moving our minimum reserve of £25,000 from our current account at the Co-Operative Bank to a Deposit Account at Kingdom Bank in order to ringfence these funds.
5. Buildings
5.1. Overview
When possible, Enjoy Church continued to meet in Somerset Hall, Portishead where we continue to grow. However, during the pandemic (COVID-19) these premises were not always able to be used full time. Where necessary we switched our emphasis to meeting 'on-line' which is broadcast in a COVID Safe environment from one of our other buildings, Avon Way Hall.
We started 2021 with the 2 buildings owned and managed by what is now known as Enjoy Church – one building in Weston-SuperMare as well as Avon Way Hall in Portishead – being available for community hire. The other is a property in Fishponds, Bristol which is currently leased for a nominal contribution to Life Church, Bristol.
These three buildings remain in our ownership although we are looking at options to either dispose of these assets or re-purpose the use of two of these buildings (Weston-Super-Mare and Fishponds) in 2022 and beyond. We have no firm plans for these buildings as this report is being prepared but they are under consideration.

ENJOY CHURCH LIMITED REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
5.2. Somerset Hall
We have resumed our long-term hire of the hall and maintain open communications with the building owners, North Somerset Council.
5.3. Avon Way Hall
Activity at Avon Way Hall has been adversely affected by the lockdowns in 2021 with income reduced accordingly. Now that the lockdowns have ended, we have returned to a much healthier level of bookings and therefore income.
We have, where appropriate and necessary, broadcast some of our services from Avon Way Hall in a COVID-19 Safe environment.
The extensive refurbishment of the kitchen, entrance hall and hallways were finally completed in December 2021.
5.4. Weston-Super-Mare
As with Portishead, Weston-Super-Mare was also adversely affected by the lockdowns during 2021 with income reduced accordingly. Similarly, now that the lockdowns have ended, we have returned to a much healthier level of bookings and therefore income.
During 2021 we have considered our options with regards to this building, and we have commissioned a Section 119 Report as required by the Charities Commission in order to prepare for a further review.
We remain in discussion with a number of organisations regarding the future of this building.
5.5. Revenue Support
To offset this reduction in income from Avon Way Hall and Hughenden Road (Weston-Super-Mare) we have been fortunate to receive a number of small grants from North Somerset Council in order to support both halls during 2021. These funds have been made as part of the Business Grant payment cycle.
5.6. Bristol
The Bristol asset continues to be owned by Enjoy Church with agreements in place drawn up with Life Church, Bristol and their trustees around the use of the premises.
Page 6 of 11
Version 2.0
ENJOY CHURCH LIMITED REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
This break clause in the lease for February 2022 with three months’ written notice was not invoked and we will continue to lease the building to Life Church Bristol until February 2024 when the lease expires.
5.7. Portishead Community Hub
During early 2021 the charity was offered the opportunity to obtain (lease) a plot of land on the existing Portishead Football Club site (which is owned by the Portishead Town Council). As we have no permanent building of our own this is something that we were very happy to accept.
Therefore, a tri-party committee has been set up to move forwards with the plans to re-develop the Football Club. We have engaged an architect to work with the committee to provide plans for the site and at the time of writing this document we have submitted these plans to North Somerset Council for pre-planning authorisation. The Pre-Application submission was put forward to North Somerset Council and at the time of writing this report we are awaiting their response. We are however hopeful that this pre-application will be granted, and we can them move forward with a full application.
No formal confirmation of the potential lease arrangements will be pursued until such time as the pre-application has been approved
One of our largest fundraising activities in 2022 will be to accommodate the costs related to this project.
6. Attendance
With the return to our services being 'in-person' as well as being available ‘on-line’, numbers still remain difficult to quantify. We do however believe that we have experienced growth in attendance at Enjoy Church, Portishead over the year at our Sunday 'on-line' gatherings and numbers are returning to pre-pandemic levels at our ‘in-person’ meetings.
Our Sunday Service Streaming, using Facebook & YouTube continues, and through this we have continued to see additional people connect to the church broadcasts.
7. Our Mission
Enjoy Church exists for the furtherance of the preaching of the Gospel in the UK and around the World. We are encouraged by the momentum we have gained this year across Enjoy Church and feel confident that the changes we have made during 2021 put us in a stronger position for 2022 and beyond to achieve against our mission.

ENJOY CHURCH LIMITED REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
This is particularly relevant to our 'on-line' presence.
While we have been able to strengthen the links with missionaries in Romania in the recent past, this has been put under strain during the pandemic. However, we continue with our 5-year plan to strengthen the work further.
Due to travel restrictions our visits to Romania needed to be postponed. We continue to support the building of a home for a large Romanian family. We have another visit planned for February 2022 when one of the items on the agenda is to view the progress with this house and to determine the planned completion date.
As international travel is resuming, we anticipate the need for our support in Romania to be brought back into focus. We remain in touch 'remotely' with the leadership of Agape Church in Constanta Region and it is evident that further assistance from Enjoy Church will be necessary to enable the work to recover from the pandemic. We did manage to conduct one visit in October 2021 in order to focus on our strategy over the coming months and years once the pandemic has abated. Further visits are being planned for 2022.
Enjoy Church Portishead continues to build links within the local community through our Love:Portishead project. Particularly during the lockdowns, we have been able to support over 50 families with monthly grocery packs up until August 2021. This project continues into 2022 although the emphasis will change to accommodate the post-pandemic environment. To assist our efforts in this area we have joined with others in Portishead to become members of the Portishead Wellbeing Project which is being spearheaded by Portishead Town Council.
In 2021 we also continued to run Alpha courses on-line and, through these courses, reached new people who have since become part of the church.
In planning all of these activities, the Directors have had regard to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.
8. Financial Review
8.1. Overview
The church remains self-funded in order to continue its activities - funds are raised largely from within the congregations, through the hiring of the premises at Avon Way and Weston super Mare and grants.
Overall income during the year was £154,798 (£143,628 in 2020).
Page 8 of 11
Version 2.0
ENJOY CHURCH LIMITED REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Overall expenditure during the year was £140,423 (£157,767 in 2020).
This has led to a net surplus for the year of £14,375 (deficit of £14,140 in 2020).
8.2. Workforce
During 2021 the Church was responsible for the following…
-
A Contract Resource, Chris James, contracted for 4 days per week.
-
A Part-Time Children’s Pastor, 18 hours per week on a permanent contract.
-
A Full-Time Youth worker (1 day per week), and buildings overseer (for the 2 Enjoy Church sites, 4 days per week) on a permanent contract.
-
A Trainee Livestream Technician, 25 hours per week on a fixed term contract. This position was funded by the DWP through its Kickstart Scheme. The role commenced on 1 September 2021 and will terminate on 28 February 2022.
9. Reserves Policy
While the Board of Directors have previously established a policy whereby free reserves held by the charity should be maintained a surplus representing 2-3 months (approximately £25,000 in the value of Unrestricted Fund Expenditure), it has been agreed that this should now be refined. Lower and upper limits have now been retained as shown below…
-
Lower Limit - £25,000
-
Upper Limit - £35,000
This 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, expenditure remains affected in an abnormal way and therefore these limits have been set at what the Directors consider to be conservative levels.
In order to ringfence these reserves it was agreed to transfer £25,000.00 to a separate savings account and to ensure that our excess cash in hand does not fall below £10,000.00 in our current account. The lower reserve (£25,000.00) has now been transferred to a deposit account at Kingdom Bank.
We have also transferred the gift of £15,000.00 to a second Deposit Account which we are looking to build up during 2022 to become our ‘Future Fund’ to accommodate anticipated expenditure on three projects, the Community Hub Building, New External Outreach

Version 2.0
ENJOY CHURCH LIMITED REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
(Overseas) and Extension to our Prayer Ministry. These funds will be returned to our Current Account as and when they are needed to accommodate spending in these three areas.
In order to gauge the impact of the pandemic on the financial performance of the Church a review of expenditure was undertaken in April 2021 which concluded that budget holders should only spend Church funds on essential items and that this restriction should remain in place until the last quarter of 2021. Accordingly, expenditure increased during the final quarter of 2021.
10. Risk Statement
The Directors have reviewed the risks to which ‘a small charity operating with few employees’ is exposed. Appropriate procedures are in place to identify, monitor and review these risks on a regular basis.
11. Responsibilities of trustees under company law
The trustees 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 trustees 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 trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles of the Charities SORP:
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees 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.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
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 and legacies includes:
-
i) Recoverable gift aid. This 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.
-
ii) Legacies. Income from legacies is recognised when a distribution is received from the estate or, if earlier, when the charity has been notified that a distribution will be made and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.
Income from charitable activities represents income receivable from goods, services and facilities supplied in furtherance of the charity's charitable objects. It includes income from church events and a community football club run by the Church.
Income from other trading activities represents income receivable from activities undertaken to generate funds for the charity. It includes income from the rental of halls in church owned premsies.
The charity has relied significantly upon volunteers in carrying out its activities during the year. In accordance with the SORP, the value of these services has not been included in these financial statements as they cannot be reliably measured.
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.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
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.
The cost of raising funds is not significant and has not been separately disclosed.
d) Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. 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) Fixed assets and depreciation:
Fixed assets acquired for use by the charity are capitalised and depreciated over their estimated useful life unless they cost less than £2,500 when they are written off on purchase.
Depreciation periods are as follows:
Freehold land Not depreciated Freehold buildings Over 50 years Leasehold buildings Over 50 years or the period of the lease whichever is shorter Equipment Between 3 and 7 years
f) Pension costs: The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme 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.
g) 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.
h) Cashflow statement
The company has taken advantage of the exemption provided by the FRS 102 SORP and has not prepared a Cash Flow Statement for the year.
i) Financial instruments
The charity's financial assets and financial liabilities all qualify as basic financial instruments, as defined by FRS102. Except for loans, creditors and debtors are measured at their expected settlement value (normally the amount of cash that the charity expects to pay or receive). The charity recognises liabilities for the principal of those loans that remains outstanding at the year end (i.e. the liabilities exclude any interest chargeable on the loans in future years).
j) Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement
ln preparing financial statements certain judgements, estimates and assumptions have to be made that affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The trustees consider the following to be significant:
- i) The annual depreciation charge for property, plant and equipment is sensitive to changes in the estimates for useful economic life and residual value. These estimates are reassessed annually and, when necessary, adjusted to reflect current circumstances.
