## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2024**
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. 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).

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Charitable activities**
These pages of accounts describe the spending of the monies given by our members and other money raised and spent by the charity in the year 2023/24.
Christchurch as a charity exists to promote the Christian faith in the area of Ilkley. As Trustees we take our responsibilities seriously. Property is maintained, staff are paid, activities are carried out to fulfil our objectives and strategic thought given towards the ongoing work of the charity. These are all represented by these figures which continue to be the financial outworking of our vision: "Christ at the centre of the Church at the heart of the town".
Strategic direction and oversight by the Trustees developed during the year, and an awayday with external facilitators helped the Trustees think more deeply about the progress being made and the strategic direction of the Charity. The consensus of the meeting was that the current strategic direction was suitable, and that we should be looking to enhance and optimise this, rather than make any major changes.
Regular and varied public worship continues, with different forms of worship used on Sunday mornings, including the more informal café style services once a month. Sunday morning worship is still available on-line. Messy Church continues successfully on Sunday afternoons, with growing numbers, and SMILE serves a need across s wider area welcoming families with children with special needs. Several informal weekday evening events/services gave opportunities to engage with some of the uniformed organisations that use our building, and we also marked the Christmas season with "Carols in the Café" engaging café users in the life of the Church. The weekly ecumenical Pause for Thought service is hosted at Christchurch, and the long running monthly Melting Pot discussion group reformed into "What's it all about?" continuing to provide a place for deeper thinking about faith, ethical and world issues.
Children's and Youth work has continued to grow and develop. In addition to Messy Church and SMILES already mentioned above, the Monday toddlers' group is attracting large numbers to two sessions and Youth Hangout provides an opportunity for teenage children to 'hangout'. Our Children's and Youth worker who was already involved in supporting activities at other Churches in Ilkley and in the Circuit, as well as developing relationships with the Uniformed organisations that use our premises, has built deeper relationships with some local schools, and is able to link these activities to church-based events.
Pastoral work took place throughout the year, with the opportunity to offer home communion to people who are housebound or mobility restricted being much appreciated. Support to those going through significant life-changes, including bereavement, continued, with the addition of occasional lunches to bring some of the people supported in this way together. Much pastoral work takes place in the context of house groups, which also re-started basing studies firstly around a book called "Tomorrow's Christian" and secondly "God's Green Book" addressing climate issues. Some house group members also engaged in pastoral training. Members and officers undertook training in Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, and unconscious bias training was also offered.
The Church remains fully committed to outreach and sharing the good news of the Christian faith with the people of Ilkley and the surrounding area. This has included new Faith Talk sessions linked to Messy Church/Dan's Den, Grave Talk helping people to talk about matters relating to death, and opportunities to greet people on The Grove as part of 'market mission'. Two people were welcomed into membership during the year following a series of meetings. During the year six people were baptised (five children and one adult) and we conducted one wedding.
An outward facing focus is central to our mission and ministry, both within the local community and more widely. The year saw the continuing of the relationship with the Wharfe Valley Pathways Group who bring together several well-being agencies/charities to run a conversation café in our lower-hall one day a week, on a drop-in or NHS referral basis. Giving overseas included funds raised for Peer Talk, Commitment for Life, Amos Trust, Christian Aid, Mediterranean Hope, Kidz Klub Leeds, and the World Mission Fund (Methodist Women in Britain). The annual Jigsaw Festival was once again very successful, with many visitors from near and far, and raising substantial funds for a range of charities.
There have been some challenges in terms of premises. The new toilets are very much welcomed, but some teething and quality issues have caused disruption to normal activities on occasions. The heating system in Dan's Den (Riddings Hall) has required considerable remedial work, both related to the radiators and heat distribution and then necessitating a boiler replacement. We are pleased that the system now seems to be operating well, and we grateful for a substantial donation towards the costs involved.

## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2024**
The café remains an important part of the inclusion and warm welcome that is integral to the mission and ministry of the church, and we are pleased that it continues to be both busy and very much appreciated by both regular and occasional users.
Cost pressures have continued to have an impact on our operations, with high energy prices a particular challenge, along with a 10% rise in wage costs linked to an increase in the Real Living Wage. Steps are being developed to reduce costs in several areas, as well as to maximise income.
A very significant and positive development has been the successful appointment in January 2024 of an Operations Manager, after several recruitment rounds. This post, funded in part by grants from the URC and Methodist Church, is seen as a vital step in putting the increasingly complex operational matters of the church on a sound footing, and releasing time of the Minister and lay people to increase mission and ministry.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Reserves policy**
The Policy relates to the General Fund and includes the current account held at Barclays and Central Finance Board (CFB) deposit account. The Policy is to maintain general cash reserves equivalent to at least thirteen weeks average expenditure. The General Fund cash balances stood at £102,636 ( PY £68,207) at the 31st March 2024. Thirteen weeks average expenditure would be equivalent to approximately £71,351 (PY £62,433) based on the 2024/25 budget.
## **Income and Expenditure**
Overall income for the year was £409,862, significantly lower than in 2022/23 when income was £499,705. The prior year increase was in part due to grant income towards a toilet refurbishment project, and also the result of generous congregational giving.
Overall expenditure was £431,527 compared with £465,323 in 2022/23.
The General Fund net movement of funds was a decrease of £19,181 after transferring to it £15,432 from Designated Funds, including £10,431 from the Christchurch Café and £5,001 from unrestricted legacies. The Christchurch Café made a surplus of £10,431 prior to transfers. The net movement in Total Funds was a decrease of £21,665, comprised of a decrease of £19,181 in the General Fund and £2,484 in the Legacy Fund.
## **FUTURE PLANS**
During the next year, we will build on the continuing growth in mission and ministry set out in the report for the year 2023-24 above. The Trustees awayday clearly endorsed the general direction and the progress made, but without any sense of complacency. The feeling was that we should continue to build on the momentum and success, being mindful of the need on occasion to make decisions about setting priorities. The Trustees will play an important role to play in making such decisions.
As an LEP, Christchurch is connected to the wider church through both the Methodist Church and URC. We have been developing links with both bodies and continue to be party of the wider discussions as they consider the future for mission in the Wharfe valley more widely. There will be a change of Minister at Christchurch on or after the beginning of September 2025, and it is expected that this minister will come from the URC. The process of agreeing a Pastorate Profile and then seeking to discern a new minister will form a significant activity through the 2024-25 Financial Year, and the Trustees have delegated oversight of this process to a Pastorate Committee.
In financial terms, the cost pressures from 2023-24 will carry forward into the current year, with a further 10%. rise in the Real Living Wage a significant factor. The new year will be challenging financially, and measures are already in hand to increase income, improve the contribution from the café and reduce costs. The newly appointed Operations Manager will help to oversee these changes on a day-to-day basis. The opportunity to renegotiate utility contracts should allow savings to be made.
Longer term financial planning is becoming more important, to develop a financial plan over a two-to-three-year period and to ensure a smooth transition to the different financial arrangements that will apply from having URC ministry during the subsequent 2025-26 Financial Year.

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document**
The Partnership is governed by the Model Constitution for a Single Congregation Local Ecumenical Partnership adopted on the 27th May 2012 and a Sharing Agreement dated 16 June 1992 relating to the premises.
## **Organisational structure**
Christchurh, known as "Christchurch, Ilkley", is the Local Ecumenical Partnership (L.E.P) between a Methodist Church in the Wharfedale and Aireborough Circuit and a United Reformed Church (U.R.C) within the Yorkshire Synod.
The work and mission of the Charity is carried out through the Leadership Team comprising the Minister and ten Trustees, elected by the Congregational meeting, each of whom have a particular area of responsibility or 'Portfolio'. The Leadership team is accountable to the Trustees and the Congregational Meeting.
For more information about the role and work of the Charity, Church based activities and events and details of secular groups and societies using the premises, visit our website at www.christchurchilkley.org.uk.
## **Risk management**
The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.
There are three major risks:-
- Current levels of giving by members may not be sufficiently increased, or the budgeted levels of income from lettings or fund raising achieved, to avoid a deficit in the current financial year.
- The Christchurch Café may not be able to contribute to the General Fund at the budgeted level.
- Non-anticipated expenditure on the building may be required or more be identified in an upcoming Quinquennial Report.
Operational and other risks, particularly in the Health and Safety area, are assessed and evaluated on an ongoing basis. This process has been strengthened by the appointment of an Operations Manager

The L.E.P is registered with the Charity Commission, Charity number 1148214. For Gift aid claims, the L.E.P is registered with the Inland Revenue (Charities) under registration number XN 65400.

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES**

## **Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2024**
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES - continued**
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Christchurch Ilkley**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Christchurch Ilkley**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Christchurch Ilkley (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2024.
## **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**
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.
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.

Consecrated and beneficed property of any kind is excluded from the accounts by s.10 (2) (a) and (C) of the Charities Act 2011.
All assets (excluding consecrated and beneficed property) acquired since 6 April 2000 have been capitalised at cost and depreciated in the accounts over their anticipated useful economic life on a straight line basis.
For assets acquired prior to 6 April 2000 there is insufficient cost information available and therefore such assets are not valued in the accounts. The Trustees are of the opinion that these assets are not material to the financial statements.
All expenditure incurred in the year, on assets under £500, is written off to resources expended
