## **JUBILEE CHURCH, COVENTRY**
## **(A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)**
## **Introduction**
The Trustees who are also the Directors have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts for the year to 31 December 2023.
## **Public Benefit**
The charity acknowledges its requirement to demonstrate clearly that it must have charitable purposes or ‘aims’ that are for the public benefit. Details of how the charity has achieved this are provided in the Trustees report. The Trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit before deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
## **Objectives and aims of the charity**
To enjoy and proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour.
To make disciples – we want to become more like Jesus and teach and show others to do likewise.
To plant Churches – in both the local area and overseas.
To reach other nations – we are part of a worldwide family of Churches. We are committed to supporting other Churches which are part of this network.
## **How our activities deliver public benefit**
Jubilee Church holds weekly meetings in Coventry each Sunday at St Columba’s near the city centre and simultaneously in the Stoke area of the city. There are dedicated children’s groups for 3 to 18 years. During the university term times there is a weekly Church prayer meeting; Powerhouse, on a Sunday evening. There are regular midweek youth groups and children’s groups that serve children from the church and the wider community.
The majority of people within Jubilee are part of a small group. These small groups are designed to provide a context for community in the Church where people can find support and encouragement. We consider the connections made at these groups to be more and more important part of assisting people with their Christian growth and mental wellbeing.
Jubilee Church has continued to develop its relationship with churches in the Dalmatia region of Croatia and Bosnia & Herzegovina. During 2023 Andrew Simpkins was able to visit Croatia to train leaders of churches in the region. However, the majority of support was financial support by funding some of the expenses of one of the in country leaders as he serves Churches in that area.
We have also partnered with other Catalyst Network churches to support churches worldwide that relate to the network.
Jubilee Church continues to provide services for the benefit of those in the city of Coventry through direct grants to Hope Coventry where Andrew Simpkins is a trustee.
The church has continued to be instrumental in creating and running the Motofest Coventry event. This was run successfully in June 2023 when it attracted over 200,000 visitors to Coventry City Centre during the weekend. Motofest was able to make a significant contribution towards the salary costs of James Noble as he dedicated more of his time to planning the events for this and future years.
We have continued to run outreach projects, language support and provide some grants to immigrants to the city from Hong Kong with British Nationals Overseas status. We have also delivered regular mentoring and coaching sessions to primary aged children in the Stoke area of the city.
We have partnered with other churches in the Catalyst Network of churches to run Encounter a week long event for people suffering from life controlling addictions and mental health issues.

## **Achievements and Performance**
During 2023 Jubilee Church celebrated its 25th anniversary as a church in the city. Jubilee continues to be a healthy and vibrant Church attended by around 200 people, who have been able to continue to worship God, learn more about Him and tell others about Him.
We have commenced the refurbishment of St Columba’s following its purchase in November 2022. We moved the office and administration team into the building in early 2023 and moved Sunday morning meetings for the city site to the building in June 2023. We have commended a full refurbishment of the premises including a total renewal of the electrics and lighting and full replacement of the heating system. The refurbishment programme is about 50% complete and the building is being used successfully as a meeting place for worship and community activities as well as an operating hub for the church and related organisations. The refurbishment programme will continue during 2024 in line with the available funds in the building fund.
## **Financial Review**
Jubilee Church funds increased by £36,532 during the 2023. This is a reduction of £18,201 on operating unrestricted funds and an increase of £54,733 on restricted funds.
Restricted funds are mainly due to gifts received (and the associated gift aid) for building refurbishment, our work with the poor and the closed work in Cambodia.
## **Investment Policy**
Surplus funds are reviewed on a regular basis and where available invested within interest bearing bank accounts. The aims of the investment policy are to maximise the returns achieved subject to minimal risk and the requirement to maintain short term availability of all funds.
## **Grants Policy**
Jubilee is not primarily a grant giving charity. However, the Church does seek to be generous and support a number of other organisations with similar aims and objectives. Jubilee gave regularly to the Catalyst Network of Churches, to Hope Coventry and to support the work of the Church in the Dalmatia region of Croatia and Bosnia & Herzegovina.
## **Reserves Policy**
Jubilee Church aims to hold the equivalent of three months expenditure as general reserves.
## **Related Parties**
Jubilee Church is involved in the work of the Catalyst Network of Churches and has given financially to this work. Andrew Simpkins is a Trustee of the Catalyst Network of Churches and Jubilee Church, Coventry.
Jubilee Church is involved in running Coventry Motofest by supporting through employee and volunteer time. James Noble and Andrew Simpkins are Directors of Coventry Motofest Ltd and Jubilee Church, Coventry.
Jubilee church makes small grants to Hope Coventry. Andrew Simpkins is a director of Hope Coventry and Jubilee Church Coventry.

## **Directors' Responsibilities**
The trustees, who are also the directors of Jubilee Church, Coventry for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
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.
- 1 Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.
- 2 Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
- 3 State whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts.
- 4 Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
We are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable us to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006.
We also have a responsibility to safeguard the assets of the charity and to take reasonable steps to prevent fraud or any other irregularities.
The trustees are also responsible for the contents of the trustees' report, and the responsibility of the independent examiner in relation to the trustees' report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that, on the face of the report, there are no inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.
These accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies’ regime.

## **JUBILEE CHURCH, COVENTRY (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023**
## **1. Accounting policies**
## **a) Basis of preparation**
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions in Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime and in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102 (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.
Advantage has been taken of Section 396(5) of The Companies Act 2006 to allow the format of the financial statements to be adapted to reflect the special nature of the charity's operation and in order to comply with the requirements of the SORP.
Jubilee Church, Coventry meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
The charity has opted to prepare its accounts using natural categories.
## **Changes to accounting estimates**
A change has been made to the accounting estimate regarding fixed asset depreciation. Full details are given in note 1j). No other changes to accounting estimates have occurred in the reporting period
## **Material prior period errors and changes to previous accounts**
No material prior period errors have been identified in this accounting period and there have been no changes to previous accounts.
## **Preparation of accounts on a going concern basis**
Preparation of the accounts is on a going concern basis. The Trustees are of the view that the level of reserves will support the charity going forward.
Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
## **b) Income**
Income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when:
- the charity becomes entitled to the income;
- it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and
- the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.
The charity has relied upon volunteers in carrying out its charitable activities during the year. In accordance with paragraph 6.18 of the SORP, the role of volunteers has not been recognised in the accounts.
## **c) Interest receivable**
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receipt is probable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank.
## **d) Grants and Donations**
Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS 102 SORP).
10
## **JUBILEE CHURCH, COVENTRY**
## **(A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023**
## **e) Tax Reclaims on Donations and Gifts**
Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.
## **f) Government Grants**
The charity has received government grants totalling £8,050 in the reporting period.
## **g) Fund accounting**
## Unrestricted Funds
The general fund is used to account for the day to day activities of the trust.
## Designated Funds
The designated giving fund is from the amount designated by the Trustees to support the work of local Churches in the UK & Overseas. This is primarily through existing relationships with Churches in the Catalyst apostolic network and in the city of Coventry. The designated fixed asset fund is designated by the Trustees to ringfence the fixed assets to enable clearer financial reporting.
## Restricted Funds
The Building Fund is from special offerings. During the previous year they were used to purchase a building for the charity, they now represent funds held for refurbishment costs
The Working with the Poor fund is from special offerings and specific donations for particular project
and initiatives working with the poor.
The Cambodia fund is to be used to support a future church plant in Cambodia
The East Meets West fund is from grants and specific donations to be used for the East Meets West project.
The Toasty Tuesdays fund is from grants and specific donations to be used for the Toasty Tuesdays project.
The Other Specific Offerings fund is from special offerings for specific purposes during the year.
## **h) Expenditure**
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. Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.
## **i) Offsetting**
There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.
## **j) Tangible fixed assets**
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Assets costing less than £2,000 are written off in the year of purchase. Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life as follows:
Fixtures and Fittings - 25% on cost
Vehicles - 25% on cost
Building Improvements - 5% on cost (depreciation will start 2024, as works are still in progress) Freehold Building - 2% on cost (starting 2023)
Until 1st January 2023, freehold and long leasehold land and buildings were not depreciated as they were deemed to have a very long remaining useful life (i.e. 50 years or more), and the trustees considered that the residual value was at least equal to its net book value. The Trustees have changed the accounting estimation depreciation rate on 1st January 2023 to provide more meaningful financial information and clarity. They have opted as from 1st January 2023 to split the land and building element and depreciate the building element over 50 years. Land is not depreciated.

## **o) Pensions**

Purpose of restricted funds:

The funds now held are for the refurbishment costs. **The Working with the Poor fund** is from special offerings and specific donations for particular projects and initiatives working with the poor.
**The Cambodia fund** was the closing assets of our work in Cambodia. They are to be used to support a future church plant in Cambodia.
**The East Meets West fund** is from grants and specific donations to be used for the East Meets West project.
**The Toasty Tuesdays fund** is from grants and specific donations to be used for the Toasty Tuesdays project. **The Other Specific Offerings fund** is from special offerings for special purposes during the year.
The transfer of £240 represents the reimbursement to general fund of Newday Tickets purchased.
The transfer of £150,073 represent building improvements that were funded from restricted funds, and as the restriction was fulfilled once the asset had been transferred, the asset was subsequently reclassed as designated fixed asset unrestricted funds.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Jubilee Church, Coventry for the year ended 31 December 2023.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity’s trustees of Jubilee Church Coventry, (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (‘the 2006 Act’).
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of Jubilee Church, Coventry are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. Attention is drawn to the fact that due to an unexpected resignation of two non-employed Trustees last year, it left the charity in an unavoidable position where a majority of trustees were being paid for a period of 11 months until new Trustees were appointed to the Board in April 2023. The Trustees confirm that in line with their internal procedures, all decisions regarding compensation for the employed trustees were made by the non employed trustees. The position was corrected in April 2023. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- accounting records were not kept in respect of Jubilee Church, Coventry as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
- the accounts did not comply with section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
- the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
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.
