**REACHOUT COMMUNITY CHURCH IRCHESTER**
## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 MARCH 2022**
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and aims**
Our objectives as set out in the constitution are as follows:
To advance the Christian faith, and to show the love of God, in accordance with the Statement of Faith, contained in the Schedule of the charity's constitution, in such ways and in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world, as the trustees from time to time may think fit.
To relieve sickness and financial hardship and to promote and preserve good health by the provision of funds, goods or services of any kind, including through the provision of counselling and support in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the trustees from time to time think fit.
To advance education in such ways and such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the trustees from time to time think fit.
The trustees believe that these objectives were advanced throughout the year through its varied activities and programme.
## **Public benefit**
All the activities of the church are open to members of the public and none are exclusively for church members. However, at the Annual General Meetings, only regular attendees of the church are invited to vote.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Reserves**
Reserves held at the end of the financial year amounted to £151,330 (2021: 152,287). The annual expenditure of the church is currently around £51,000 and the reserves cover a year's projected expenditure.
The trustees consider the income of the charity linked directly to the gathering of the congregation, facilitated by the provision of meeting facilities. The reserves policy has been based on the continuing provision of those facilities. In the event of income being reduced or stopped, the trustees consider a reserve of 6 months' operating costs sufficient to reorganise or re-deploy the charity's assets and have agreed that a minimum of £18,104 will be held in a high-interest, 120 day notice account used solely for this purpose. Accrued interest may be transferred to the charity's current account from time to time as deemed appropriate by the trustees.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing document**
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
In August 2021 the charity withdrew from Assemblies of God and a new constitution was drafted and policy documents are in the process of being re-written. They are basically the same as those used in previous years, but the constitution has yet to be legally processed.
Reachout Community Church Irchester was adopted as a registered charity with the Charity Commission on 19th July 2012 and has the following classification.
Religious activities Education and training. Relief of poverty

## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 MARCH 2022**
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governance and management**
Reachout Community Church has a strong and effective leadership team. The leaders are very much active in the strategic direction of the organisation and are committed to continuous development of the organisation to meet, and where possible, surpass its objectives.
The collective skills and experience of the leadership team is wide ranging, and in addition Reachout Community Church Irchester also employ professional organisations and individuals where required.
Over the past year, some major work was done at the rear of the property. Patio doors replaced the windows in the two back rooms, and this involved repositioning the radiators; a new back door was fitted to the kitchen; a new door and opaque window was fitted to the barn. The asbestos lean-to was professionally removed; the garden was laid with artificial grass and a wooden pergola erected. The garden is now a pleasant space to relax and enjoy outdoor gatherings. All the back rooms were decorated, including the kitchen, inner corridor, and the two classrooms. A quote has been sought to replace the central heating and hot water boilers and this work is planned to be carried out later in the year.
The church responded to the appeals to help Afghan refugees and to help Ukraine when war broke out, and £1,000 was sent to a Polish pastor to help Ukrainian refugees who had fled to the border. In addition, the church collected goods to go to Ukraine, working in partnership with Help for Ukraine Northamptonshire.
The church slowly started to recover from the Covid year and lock-downs. Whilst some activities came to an end, others have been set-up. We have introduced monthly breakfast Bible Study meetings for men and women on separate Saturdays. A children's holiday club was held in the summer, children's Explorer group started meeting in the church again rather than online, and the Sunday services continued throughout, using Zoom and Vimeo links until Covid restrictions were lifted in July when services were held in church again. Twice weekly prayer meetings continued, and a weekly home group meets for Bible study and prayer.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Reachout Community Church Irchester**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Reachout Community Church Irchester**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Reachout Community Church Irchester (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2022.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements**
## **for the year ended 31 MARCH 2022**
## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **Basis of preparing the financial statements**
The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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 (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
## **Income**
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income.
Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the statement of financial activities when receivable. Grants where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.
Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included.
Investment income including associated income tax recoveries, is recognised when receivable.
## **Expenditure**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
The freehold property is carried at fair value determined annually by the Trustees from the current market and property yields for comparable real estate, adjusted if necessary for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. No depreciation is provided. Changed in fair value are recognised in a revaluation reserve.
## **Taxation**
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
## **Fund accounting**
Funds held by the Charity are either:
Restricted Funds - Income received for restricted purposes is included in a separate restricted fund against which appropriate expenditure is allocated.
Designated Funds - Designated funds are allocated out of unrestricted funds by the trustees for specific purposes. The use of such funds is at the trustees' discretion.
Unrestricted General Funds - These are funds which can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

## **Notes to the Financial Statements - continued**

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued**
## **Financial instruments**
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the charity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the amount receivable or payable including any related transaction costs.
Current assets and current liabilities are subsequently measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received and not discounted.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in the statement of financial activities, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised under the appropriate heading in the statement of financial activities in which the initial gain was recognised.
For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.
Any reversals of impairment are recognised immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.
