Omega Fire Ministries Trustees Annual Report

working across the age group spectrum and to be a focal point for its members and as well as a source of support to those within the immediate community. The long-term aim is to secure a much more permanent place of residence to capitalise on the existing programs designed to help its members but also to encompass future programs for its members and to those within the immediate community. We are still confident that this will take place given the strength of commitment from our existing members and given the challenges of the past year. The dedication of both our volunteers and supporters has been unprecedented. A surge in financial giving of members is making the option of a more permanent place of residence more manageable in the future. Young Missionaries: Current classes are being held to equip as well as to extend the musical talents and skills of our existing young people. Currently this is being run by a trained musician who is a member of the congregation. This is well attended however given the challenges of the pandemic adjustments were made so that this was continued given that the young people had more considerable time available. We have therefore used technology to incorporate all members and therefore continue practice therefore allowing for a more cohesive group to further enhance both talent and skills. The group has now been fortunate in attracting additional members culminating in further development of the group. Outreach Support Programme: This programme offers an opportunity for members and those within the community to come together and socialise to gain a greater understanding of the church and its facilities and services but to also gain a further understanding of the greater needs of the community sector. As a result of the pandemic, we had to readjust our focus due to the inability to meet as normal. To continue our support to the community volunteers and members were able to provide food provisions specifically for those individuals and families that were financially unable to sustain themselves due to loss of work and funds. A core group of members were able to provide meals to those who were infirm and elderly. We seek to continue with this program on a permanent basis as it highlighted a significant need within the community. Student Support Program: This program aimed to support the younger members of our congregation in terms of their higher education. We had identified from existing family members that this was of great concern, as most were unable to commit to this major financial obligation. As a direct result we seek to continue to support our young members with additional financial support and therefore lessen the emotional and financial impact this has on both members and their respective children. Our first cohort of university graduations will occur in 2021. Our program seeks to encourage and support our young people in developing a sound educational foundation. Mentoring Support Programme: The program seeks to provide emotional wellbeing to those members who are emotionally troubled or require additional support because of life traumas. This program provides a listening ear to members to negate any vulnerability of not having any form of support. Experienced members are identified and offered basic training in both listening and communication skills. The program works closely with qualified Therapists to offer continued training and development and identify any further professional support that individuals may be require. This program has identified a growing demand in this area of work and so we seek to find a way to continue with this program particularly in the wider context of the community. Mixed Voice Group: Current classes are being held with the aim of equipping all members with the opportunity to gain a new skill. We were able to continue with this program through the medium of technology and we were able to see an increased-up turn of new members from both within the Church and the community. This remains very popular amongst our youngest members as it serves in raising both their self–esteem and confidence. Technology Club: We were unable to purchase technology equipment this year and due to cash constraints. A significant lack of computing equipment was identified for those families with young children. As a direct result of this children were unable to carry out the required schoolwork. We had appealed for old computing equipment throughout our congregation and the immediate community and with the aid of members qualified within the field of computing who were able to restore and make safe for use the equipment and provide equipment to children within our congregation and the wider community. We seek to expand further upon this program as there is an immediate need. Pastoral Support: This programme is primarily designed to affirm links with the community at large. We have used our trained members to temporarily shift its focus from the Care Homes (due to the pandemic) to the identification of the more vulnerable within the community. This takes the form Page 3of weekly telephone calls to check their status as well as shopping and weekly food parcel delivery by our

Expenditure

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Freehold investment property

Investment properties are measured initially at cost and subsequently at fair value at each balance sheet date and are not depreciated. All gains or losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise.

Stocks

Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.

Trade and other debtors

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand, demand deposits with banks and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the statement of financial position, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings or current liabilities. In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the company's cash management.

Trade and other creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.

Omega Fire Ministries Notes to the Accounts

Research and development

Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred.

Foreign currencies

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period.

Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are recorded at the rate of exchange on the date that the transaction occurred.

All exchange differences are are taken into account in arriving at net income/expenditure.

Leased assets

Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease.

Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases.

Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs.

Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.

Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.

Pension costs

The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.

Receipt of donated goods, facilities and services

All donated goods, facilities and services received are recognised within incoming resources and expenditure at an estimate of the value to the charity.

2 Company status

The company is a private company limited by guarantee and consequently does not have share capital.
