## **GRACE CHURCH, CAMBRIDGE REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**
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**
Grace Church Cambridge continued to meet its objectives as a charity in 2022 to advance and practice the Christian faith through the weekly activities of the church, regular family support training courses, community support programmes for the unemployed, debt-stricken and elderly, and care for international visitors to Cambridge.
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 held prayer meetings and monthly church family meetings in person and online via Zoom, and also provided online access to Sunday services to those who were still inhibited from gathering because of Covid-19 concerns.
## **Leadership change**
After eleven years in leadership at Grace Church Cambridge, our Senior Pastor, Graham Beynon, accepted a position as Head of Local Ministries with the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches (FIEC). Graham will be on the staff of Grace Church until July 31st, 2023, but will step down as Senior Pastor in June. Current Assistant Pastor Rob Dobson will assume the Lead Pastor role in June, and current Assistant Pastor Stew Garry will become Associate Pastor. The church plans to appoint additional elders and trustees in 2023.
## **Community Outreach**
In 2022, 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. Another debt coach from Hope Church East Chesterton worked alongside our debt coach.
Throughout the year we served at the food bank at the Church of the Good Shepherd in Arbury once each month, and offered information about our Life Skills group, Money Course, and the job search help that is available.
We ran a “Life Skills” group on Mondays from the Church of the Good Shepherd in Arbury, sharing information on how to save money on bills, as well as inviting guest speakers from Cambridgeshire Water, the fire service, and other local support agencies. We also ran a Tuesday Bible study group for people in the community.
From September, the Monday group became a “Cup and Chat” drop-in outreach in the Arbury Community Centre. We extended this to focus on wellbeing and the outreach team undertook “Kintsugi Hope” training with the intention of delivering this content on 2023.
Our Community Outreach Worker was seconded to work with Emmanuel Church in Northstowe for one day each week and supported the Christians Against Poverty work there.

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**
## **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 was paused for most of 2022 whilst we waited for restrictions to be lifted, but there was an opportunity at the end of the year to lead Christmas celebrations for the residents. We look forward to returning to regular fortnightly services resuming in 2023.
## **Children and Youth**
In 2022, our work with children and families continued in our weekly Grace Kids classes, where children aged 0- 11 were cared for and taught in 3 different age groups while their parents attended the main sermon. Parents have been supported to talk to their children about what they have learnt through weekly emails that also link to resources that may be beneficial in raising children. Occasionally additional resources have been supplied to parents, including a ‘Parent’s Summer Toolbox’, which included activity resources with a focus on supporting parents to help their children think about others in the church family and the community, e.g. blank postcards and stamps to write to an older person.
Our Grace Kids team have taken part in team planning and training sessions to further involve and equip team in the work they are doing with our children.
On Easter Sunday, we launched a Family Easter Event, which families in the local community were invited to. This included an Easter Egg Hunt, crafts and activities, as well as a short retelling of the Easter story. We also held an all-age Christmas Carol service for the local community and guests invited from further afield.
Our Community Team has been running weekly wellbeing sessions in local buildings on Monday mornings, and we have been providing childcare and support to mums with pre-school aged children who attend. At our Christmas celebration session, we were able to present the children with small gifts and books from Grace Church.

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**
## **Supporting International visitors to Cambridge**
The Grace Church volunteers working with international visitors continued their work throughout 2022, with inperson meetings having resumed near the end of 2021. English and Bible teaching took place both in-person and via separate Zoom classes. Many new guests started attending the in-person classes during 2022, with numbers slowly picking up during the course of the year.
In conjunction with Friends International, we were also able to run an evening course giving an introduction to Christianity for international visitors. As in the past, we were also able to support some internationals staying in Cambridge at various times through one-to-one meetings.
We were pleased to have an American volunteer join the team in April on a "Temporary Work – Charity Worker" visa, which enriched the scope of what we were able to provide to our guests as well as giving him valuable experience in this area of ministry.
## **National and international financial support**
Grace Church was also able to provide financial support to a number of Christian organisations in the UK in 2022, as well as provide financial support for church partners living and working in Romania, 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 £238,537 (2021: £235,529) and expenditure was £261,424 (2021: £293,408) to give a net deficit of £22,888 (2021: deficit of £57,879). The unrestricted cash balance at 31 December 2022 is £175,633 (2021: £200,573). 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 £175,633 at 31 December 2022. 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.

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**
## **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.
## **Approval**
This report was approved by the trustees and signed on their behalf by:

## **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 2022 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.

## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022**
## **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 S 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 2022**
## 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
## 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.
