Enjoy Church Limited Report of The Directors For the year ended 31 December 2022
2. 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 2022 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 youth ministries as well as 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.
This individual resigned from this position on 2 August 2022, and we have been attempting to recruit into the role during the remainder of 2022. Our efforts to date have been unsuccessful.
The maintenance of individual budget responsibility was given to Pastoral Leaders in 2019 to enable this team to make quicker decisions to fulfil their goals. This remains a positive decision that continues to bear fruit during 2022. A new budgeting process is to be introduced for the 2024 budget. This process will aim to have the budget for 2024 completed by the end of November 2023.
A ‘Core Team’ continues to drive the creative direction of the church. We continue to work with Church Health Plans which are being used across all pastoral and ministry teams and formed the basis for our budget in 2023.

Enjoy Church Limited Report of The Directors For the year ended 31 December 2022
3. COVID-19
3.1. Overview
In 2022 the charity has now wound down its work in this area as the impact of the pandemic has significantly reduced.
4. Buildings
4.1. Overview
We continued to meet regularly in Somerset Hall, Portishead where we continued our significant growth. Where appropriate we also were able to meet in one of our other buildings, Avon Way Hall when Somerset Hall was unavailable.
We started 2022 with the 2 buildings owned and managed by Enjoy Church – one building in Weston-Super-Mare as well as Avon Way Hall in Portishead. Both were available for community hire. We have a third property in Fishponds, Bristol which is currently leased for a nominal contribution to Life Church, Bristol.
These three buildings remain in our ownership.
Avon Way Hall remains in constant use, and we are looking at a refurbishment program during the coming year.
With regards to the Weston-Super-Mare property, we are currently in discussion with the Food Club in the area so as they take over the booking of the hall as well as for them to make use of the space. Negotiations regarding this partnership are in progress.
The lease for the property in Fishponds will expire at the end of February 2024 so we will be making a decision regarding the future of this property towards the end of 2023.
4.2. Somerset Hall
We have resumed our long-term hire of the hall and maintain open communications with the building owners, North Somerset Council.
4
Enjoy Church Limited Report of The Directors For the year ended 31 December 2022
4.3. Avon Way Hall
In 2022 we returned to a much healthier level of bookings and therefore income for this property.
We are planning to refurbish other areas of this property in 2023.
4.4. Weston-Super-Mare
Again, In 2022 we returned to a much healthier level of bookings and therefore income for this property.
In 2022 we engaged with the local Food Club with a view to them both hiring this hall on a regular basis as well as taking over the day-to-day operation the property. This is being implemented and will be reviewed during 2023 to determine it’s effectiveness.
4.5. 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.
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.
4.6. 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. Due to planning regulations as well as other work that is being undertaken by the Football Club this remains at a planning stage.
The Pre-Application submission that was submitted to North Somerset Council has been conditionally approved, however, the project has now stalled and at the time of writing this report very little progress has been made. We will continue to pursue this in 2023.
While this original project has not proceeded at the speed that we would wish it to, we have been exploring other opportunities for a property in Portishead, but these discussions are at a very early stage.

Enjoy Church Limited Report of The Directors For the year ended 31 December 2022
5. Attendance
Attendance at our Sunday gatherings both in-person and ‘on-line’ continue to grow significantly.
Our Sunday Service Streaming, using Facebook & YouTube continues, and through this we have continued to see additional people connect to the church broadcasts and a number of these individuals have now started to attend in-person.
6. 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 2022 put us in a stronger position for 2023 and beyond to achieve against our mission.
This is particularly relevant to our 'on-line' presence.
6.1. Go Global
While we continue to strengthen the links with our partners in Romania in the recent past, we have been concentrating on our 5-year plan to strengthen this work further.
We continue to support the building a home for a large Romanian family which is now almost complete. Two visits were conducted in 2022. These were a mixture of members of The Church who have visited previously and also others for whom this was their first visit.
Support for our partners in Romania to be brought back into focus, particularly with their proximity to Ukraine and the crisis in this country. We remain in regular contact 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 continue relating to Ukraine.
A visit is planned to Constanta in February 2023 in order to deliver a Launch Course for Church Planters.
We have also been supporting the Pastor and his family with a regular gift throughout the year.
We are also actively seeking new mission partners overseas and will continue to do this into 2023.
6
Enjoy Church Limited Report of The Directors For the year ended 31 December 2022
6.2. Go Local
Enjoy Church continues to build links within the local community through our Love:Portishead project. We have been able to support over 50 families. This project continues into 2023 although the emphasis will change to accommodate Cost of Living challenges.
In 2022 we also continued to run Alpha courses.
In planning all of these activities, the Directors have had regard to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.
7. Financial Review
7.1. Overview
The church remains self-funded 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.
| Description | 2022 | 2021 |
|---|---|---|
| Overall income during the year | £208,585 | £154,798 |
| Overall expenditure during the year was | £174,875 | £140,423 |
| This has led to a net surplus for the year of | £33,709 | £14,375 |
Total funds increased from £589,936 to £623,646, of which £608,405 is unrestricted (2021:£572,513). In addition to the charity’s operating bank account, this includes funds in deposit accounts as shown below:
| Description | 2022 |
|---|---|
| Strategic Reserve | £25,208 |
| Future Fund | £34,932 |
The Future Fund has been developed in order to ringfence funds that have been contributed to support our efforts to secure a building and also for Training of future leaders.
7.2. Workforce
During 2022 the Church was responsible for the following…
7
Enjoy Church Limited Report of The Directors For the year ended 31 December 2022
-
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 (although this individual did resign on 2 August 2022). To date this individual has not been replaced.
-
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 (6 Months). This position was funded by the DWP through its Kickstart Scheme. The role commenced on 1 September 2021 and terminated on 28 February 2022.
8. 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 established as shown below…
-
Lower Limit - £25,000
-
Upper Limit - £35,000
These limits have been reviewed and continue 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) remains in a deposit account at Kingdom Bank and the charity is currently complying with its reserves policy.
During the year we have also transferred funds that have been given as part of our Difference Makers appeal to a second Deposit Account which we are looking to build up during 2022 to become our ‘Future Fund’. This is to accommodate anticipated expenditure on the Community Hub Building as well as funds to training future leaders. These funds will be returned to our Current Account as and when they are needed to support spending in these 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 2022 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 2022. Accordingly, expenditure increased during the final quarter of 2022.

9. 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.
10. Directors' Responsibilities
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.

-
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 accounts.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
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.
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.
iii) 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 premises.
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 li bl 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.
The cost of raising funds is not significant and has not been separately disclosed.
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.

ENJOY CHURCH LIMITED
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
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) 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 £2,500 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 the following rates of depreciation are charged:
Freehold land Is not depreciated (because it is not consumed by use) Freehold buildings Over 50 years after taking account of the building's residual value Leasehold buildings Over 50 years or the period of the lease whichever is shorter Equipment Between 3 and 7 years
f) 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.
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) 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).
i) 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.
o) 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.
