## **GRACE CHURCH, CAMBRIDGE REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

The Trustees have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts for the year. 

## **Change of status** 

In September 2020, Grace Church was reconstituted as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) with the Charity Commission and ceased to operate as a Limited Company. The Church Trustees took advice from various experts and it was agreed this form of organisation was better fit for Grace Church. 

## **Objects of the charity** 

The charity's objects are the advancement and practice of the Christian faith. 

## **Governance** 

The policy and operating decisions of the charity rest with the Trustees who meet regularly to monitor activities of Grace Church Cambridge. New Trustees are nominated by the current Trustees and their appointment is confirmed by a vote of the Grace Church Cambridge membership. 

## **Review of activities** 

The continuing global pandemic (COVID-19) impacted in-person gatherings for the first part of 2021, but Grace Church Cambridge continued to meet its objectives to share and live out the Christian faith through the daily activities of the church family. Through this the church provided family support, community support programmes for the unemployed, debt-stricken and elderly, and care for international visitors to Cambridge. Sunday services were a hybrid of in-person and on Zoom throughout the year, with numbers attending in-person increasing as the year went on. Despite still needing to require proof of a negative COVID-19 test for all attendees, the year ended with a special service Christmas Candlelight service at the Round Church. This event was well attended and was recorded and shared via YouTube for those who could not attend. 

Grace Church Cambridge employed five people to oversee the running of church activities. 

Grace Church conducted weekly Sunday services for the regular congregation and guests as well as weekly small group meetings for Bible study and discussion, support and prayer. We continued to hold prayer meetings and monthly church family meetings online via Zoom. 

## **Community Outreach** 

In 2021, Grace Church continued its work in the community in partnership with the national charity, Christians Against Poverty.  Grace Church staff and volunteers worked with local people struggling with debt burdens, unemployment and financial difficulties. Although COVID restrictions were less strict, COVID still loomed large, and so visits were irregular. We were able to continue work with a combination of visits and phone calls, however. Another debt coach from Hope Church East Chesterton worked alongside our debt coach and both were fully booked. 

Families are normally visited and supported by a trained debt coach and trained volunteer befriender. The CAP financial team at head office do the debt management planning and build an achievable route out of debt, giving on-going support until our clients go debt free. Trained Grace Church people then continue to support those who are working with us for as long as they want our support. In 2021, we saw six families go debt free. 

We also began to re-establish our various weekly groups. After re-starting a job club with low attendance, we adapted and began to focus more on families. The Grace Church children and family worker got involved and we started a group at the nearby Church of the Good Shepherd on Mondays. We converted our Job Club into a oneto-one service and one of our church members connected with those interested in jobs, while our family group offered parenting, budgeting and life skills advice. Grace Church’s trained Life Skills coaches aim to promote discussion and sharing of ideas to point people to healthy lifestyle habits, such as maintaining good mental health, practical cooking skills, healthy relationships and household budgeting on a low income. We also had six Grace Church members who trained to offer the Money Course. We delivered two four-week courses, one during the day and the other in the evening, supporting six people across those two courses.

## **REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

Grace Church also ran some online evening sessions over two weeks for the charity “Homestart” and supported four families in this way. We also ran an online session for four people on budgeting for “Make do and mend,” another charity focusing on mental health. 

Our Community Outreach Worker was seconded to work with Emmanuel Church in Northstowe for one day each week where she ran a Life Skills group. Emmanuel regularly had four or five families coming to this. An evening money course was attended by five people, and a “Summer Drop In” for a coffee and chat allowed us to connect with several local families and individuals as well as provide information about CAP. Six of the Emmanuel team trained to become money coaches. 

In December, Grace Church homegroups provided hampers and goody bags for families and individuals who were struggling financially. 

## **Care Home Ministry** 

A team 8-10 staff and volunteers from Grace Church has been holding services in Manor Care Home on Sunday afternoons since 2012, but the global pandemic beginning in 2020 limited this ministry. Before the pandemic we were enjoying regular visits to the care home, delivering services on a fortnightly basis as well as developing relationships with the residents and staff and praying for them. The ministry is currently paused whilst we wait for restrictions to be lifted. We look forward to when we can go back to delivering services and sharing the gospel with the staff and residents of Manor Care Home. 

## **Children and Youth** 

Grace Church has continued to serve children and young people who are part of the church family, and those in the local community in 2021. A combination of resources were created for parents to use with children at home, including teaching ideas and short input videos, as well as in-person classes for children aged 0-12 on Sunday mornings from April 2021. The teaching teams have continued with a whole church curriculum model, enabling families to learn together. The Teens programme continued online with a fortnightly Sunday evening meeting. At Easter and Christmas, gift bags with Bible story books and activities were given to local families to help explain why these events are significant. From September 2021, a Christians Against Poverty group specifically suitable for local families with pre-school children was established to enable parents to attend CAP Life Skills and Money courses. 

## **Supporting International visitors to Cambridge** 

The Grace Church volunteers working with international visitors continued their work throughout 2021, albeit still restrained by restrictions on face-to-face meetings.  For most of the year, English and Bible teaching took place via Zoom, but face-to-face meetings recommenced in October.  As has been the case since the start of the pandemic, there were only a few new local contacts, but we were able to maintain links with and continue to help many existing friends who had returned to their own country.  We were also able to support some internationals staying in Cambridge at various times through one-to-one meetings.

## **REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

## **National and international financial support** 

Grace Church was also able to provide financial support to a number of Christian organisations in the UK in 2021, as well as provide financial support for church partners living and working in Bulgaria, Greece, Manchester, China and Indonesia. 

## **Public benefit** 

In planning the activities the Trustees have had regard to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission. 

## **Financial review** 

Income for the year was £235,529 (2020: £314,262) and expenditure was £293,408 (2020: £254,555) to give a net deficit of £57,879 (2020:surplus of £59,708). The unrestricted cash balance at 31 December 2021 is £200,573 (2020: £194,471). This is a solid basis to continue the growth of the Church in the local community. The Directors are very grateful for the generous support of the Church members. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The Trustees have established a policy whereby free reserves held by the charity should be maintained at between 3 and 6 months of normal monthly church expenditure. The Trustees are happy with the level of free cash reserves of £200,573 at 31 December 2021. The charity is holding excess reserves as it is considering potentially purchasing property at some point in the future. The Trustees also intend to use some of the surplus reserves on training for new pastors at Grace Church. 

## **Risk statement** 

The Trustees 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.

## **REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

## **Responsibilities of trustees under charity law** 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charity as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

1. select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

2. observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

3. make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

4. state whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures 

disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and 

5. prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the 

charity will continue in operation. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. 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 GRACE CHURCH, CAMBRIDGE** 

## **('the Charity')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 December 2021 on pages 7 to 15 following, which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out on pages 9 to 10. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity’s trustees of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation 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 Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the 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 matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity 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.

## **GRACE CHURCH, CAMBRIDGE** 

## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

## **1 Statutory information** 

The charity is a charitable incorporated organisation registered with the Charity Commission in England & Wales. The charity's registered number and principal address can be found on the Charity 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") and with the Charities Act 2011.  The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as set out in FRS 102. 

The Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 (the '2008 Regulations') requires charities to prepare their accounts in accordance with 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005' but this accounting standard has since been withdrawn and has been replaced by the Charities SORP mentioned in the preceding paragraph. The charity has prepared these financial statements in accordance with the new Charities SORP; this departure from the 2008 Regulations is believed to be necessary for these financial statements to give a 'true and fair view'. 

The principles adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. 

- a) Going concern 

The trustees 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. 

- ii) The charity relies on volunteers to carry out many of its activities, particularly Christians Against Poverty work and Manor Care Home ministry. 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 retreats and other events and courses. 

Investment income represents income generated by the charity's assets and includes bank interest. 

## 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 reliably. 

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. 

## 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.

## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021** 

## e) Tangible fixed assets 

Fixed assets acquired for use by the charity are capitalised and depreciated over their estimated useful life unless they cost less than £500 when they are written off on purchase. 

Depreciation periods are as follows: 

Freehold land Not depreciated Freehold buildings 50 years Equipment Between 3 and 7 years Computer equipment 3 years 

The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment in periods when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. 

## 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 charity has taken advantage of the various reliefs from taxation available to charities and no tax is payable on the charity's income. 

## h) 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.
