## **1. Introduction...**
I am pleased to introduce the Trustees’ Report and Financial Statements for the accounts of Croydon Vineyard. We give thanks for all the Lord has done in us and through us in the last 12 months.
As we emerged from the disruption of COVID Croydon Vineyard saw many people coming to life in Jesus, finding hope and peace and a restoration of community. Our mission remained to be:
**A Culture of Worship** - to see diverse people coming together for life-changing encounters with the presence of God, to be filled with his grace and his truth and to live for his glory all through the week.
**Raising Sons and Daughters** - to see a whole generation in Croydon meeting Jesus and, through the long-term nurture of our church, coming to their full potential in God.
**Life-changing Groups** - to have a wide range of healing spaces all through the week for people to find hope, life and to learn how to live in the fullness of all God has for them.
**Loving Croydon** - to equip all the church to share Jesus all over Croydon all through the week through their work, their rest, and their play, inviting people into life-changing groups and Sunday services where they come to life.
**Multiplying Leaders** - to be a sending church who raise up many leaders for many sectors in society, spreading the fragrance of the kingdom all through Croydon and seeing 100 churches planted across London and beyond.
And in God’s strength and with your support we will continue to do this.
Yours in Christ
Tom Thompson

## **2. Trustees’ Report…**
The trustees of Croydon Vineyard, who also act as directors for the purposes of company law, present their report and financial statements for the 12-month period from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022 in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and the Companies Act 2006. The trustees are satisfied, to the best of their knowledge, that these statements comply with the current statutory requirements, the church’s governing documents and are in accordance with the Charity Commission’s Statement of Recommended Practice (2019 SORP).
## **3. Objectives & Activities...**
The main object of Croydon Vineyard is the advancement of the Christian faith. This was achieved primarily, although not exclusively, through: the development and multiplication of small groups of people meeting mid-week, and the growth of local church congregations meeting on Sunday mornings and evenings in Croydon.
The trustees note that considerable volunteer time has been given by lay-leaders and church members in achieving the aims and objectives of the church.
## **4. Review of the year…**
## **Culture of Worship**
In January we began using Harris Academy in Purley for our Sunday services. This venue has had a larger capacity than any previous one we have met, and we have seen our numbers grow by over 20% this year. We also spent a lot of the year committing to seeking to be a community genuinely led by Jesus and genuinely encountering Jesus in our midst. There were many stories of this occurring.
## **Raising Sons and Daughters**
As our Youth Pastor and Kids Pastor continued to invest in under 18s, we saw more kids and teenagers engaging with our events and overcoming some significant obstacles. We began a Thursday morning community toddlers’ group, a mid-week online small group for years 5-6 and a larger number of midweek events for school years 7-13.
## **Life-changing Groups**
As the year went on, we tried to give more time to invest in our highly committed small group leaders who had carried a very heavy burden during the disruption of COVID. This has resulted in more intentional training and community support for our leaders and reducing the weekly gathering of small groups to 3 times a month. We have also seen many more social gatherings and interest groups gathering, such as regular Entrepreneurs breakfasts.
## **Multiplying Leaders**
The wider group of lay leaders in the church once again became more of a cohesive, mutually supporting unit. We are deeply grateful for all the time that volunteers give to see people come to life in Jesus in Croydon.
Harvest Church’s very generous sharing of their facility with Croydon Vineyard has enabled a step change in our support of our staff team and in their capacity to host events during the week that, in turn, enhance the services we offer to the community.
## **Love Croydon**
We pushed hard on expanding VES to a 5-day-a-week operation, with a return to physical lessons on a number of these days. Major boost for VES were the award of grants of £11,000. This enabled significant extra paid time to be put into the leadership and promotion of the school and for new classes to be opened at the Harvest Centre.
In 2022 the prime focus of the church was on rebuilding a cohesive and healthy church community and this inevitably redirected resources away from doing other Love Croydon projects. In 2023 greater focus will be given to Love Croydon.

## **Croydon Vineyard**
## **5. Administrative Operations…**
## **Staffing**
Tom & Lesley Thompson lead Croydon Vineyard, with a focus on setting the vision and direction of the overall ministry of the church, leading weekly congregational celebrations on Sundays as well as the day-to-day running of the church and overseeing the development of the ministry of the church by working alongside and through volunteers. Tom also acted as a trustee and as chair for the board of trustees/directors.
Additional staff were as follows:
Assistant Pastor - 40 hours a week, overseeing Vineyard English School and our communications to the wider public and the congregation.
Kids Pastor & Admin - 32 hours a week, overseeing our work with 0-11s and managing our bookkeeping and database.
Worship pastor - working 24 hours a week, overseeing Sunday music teams and some communications.
Youth Pastor - 32 hours a week, overseeing our work with 11-18s in Croydon. Additional Pastors - we continued to employ two other people 8 hours a week each, both of whom invested heavily in our e-services and pastoral care of the congregation during this difficult year.
## **Compliance**
We continue to develop and enhance our policies on Child Protection, Risk Management and Financial Control. Further policies will be implemented as required by the growth of the church. We have continued membership of the 31:8 (formerly CCPAS) scheme to assist us in our Safeguarding. We have continued to apply for Disclosure and Barring Service checks as appropriate for all children’s leaders, following the church’s Child Protection Policy and Operational Guidelines. The accounts have been examined by Stewardship.
## **6. Future Plans…**
Over the coming financial reporting period we are hoping to settle into a new incarnation of Croydon Vineyard. In particular, we have identified the following 5 headline goals:
#1 We want to contend for a Spiritual Awakening in Croydon and beyond, fuelled by worship, pursuing the presence of God, and learning to trust in the word of God.
#2 we want to continue to see a major growth in “family feel” in the church through fun, healing mid-week connection points, with our small group leaders particularly feeling like they are growing and seeing their groups grow. We are using the phrase “from dozens to hundreds” to help us shift our expectation and planning across everything we do as a church. #3 we want to equip our congregation to reach more of their neighbours and the nations, beginning to pray more for those who don’t know Jesus and, as an overflow of God’s mercy, giving them easy and attractive opportunities to experience the love of Jesus. We are hoping to achieve more grant funding to achieve a step change in what we can provide to internationals and young people in Croydon.
#4 we want to see a major step up in how our online resources awaken people to Jesus’ reality and his love, reaching people through high quality worship recordings and through the New Testament Journey, alongside other material.
#5 We want to see our kids and young people flourish as they increasingly do the stuff, not only learning how to know God for themselves, but how to invite others into encountering him and coming to life in his name.
Alongside these we will continue to pursue the other aspects of our five emphases.

**Croydon Vineyard**
## **7. Structure, Governance & Management**
Croydon Vineyard (incorporated on 19 February 2013) is a charitable company limited by guarantee and is governed by the Memorandum and Articles of Association which were adopted on 19 February 2013. As a charity the church acts entirely as a non-profit making organisation. The church has also been granted exemption from using the word “Limited” in its title. The trustees of the church are appointed by resolution of the Board and act as directors for the purposes of company law.
The church is also affiliated to Vineyard Churches UK & Ireland, a wider network of some 100 or so churches across the country. Croydon Vineyard regularly grants a proportion of its income to the work of Vineyard Churches UK & Ireland in the establishing of new churches and missions work abroad.
## **Trustees & Directors…**
The trustees below have held office during the period from 1 January 2022 to the date of this report:
- Graham Bright (Chair)
- Tom Thompson
- Cerys Brunsdon (from 20/10/2022)
- Mark Goodman (until 08/03/2022)
- Dayo Omolokun
- Sarah Hombarume
- Joelene Evans (until 08/09/2022)
- David Prothero
- Yolanda Walker (from 23/05/2022)
- Tiffany Brown (from 19/06/2023)
The trustees met formally to discuss business on a quarterly basis throughout the 12-month period 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022.
## **8. Statement of Responsibilities…**
Charity and company law require the trustees/directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing those financial statements the trustees/directors are required to:
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
- Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
- Comply with applicable accounting standards subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
- state whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The trustees/directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also
6
## **Croydon Vineyard**
responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
## **Internal Controls…**
As part of their continuing responsibility the trustees have endeavoured to ensure that reasonable internal control procedures are in place as appropriate for the development of the church. They include:
- Financial policies and procedures are kept under constant review.
- Management Information Reports showing status of accounts and key performance statistics are issued to trustees quarterly.
- Annual budgets are approved by trustees and reviewed quarterly.
- Quarterly financial reporting of actuals against budget including cash flow reporting with exception reporting to trustees.
- Quarterly monitoring of operational reserves
- Periodic review of risk register and trustee action log
## **Risk Management…**
Throughout the period the trustees maintained a centralised risk log to identify and mitigate major strategic, operational, and financial risks to the charity.
## **9. Financial Review**
## **Income & Expenditure…**
The net incoming resources for the period was £259,149. Overall, the unrestricted general fund surplus stands at £299,498. There are no restricted funds. The Charity relies on the generous donations of its members as its principal source of income.
## **Investment Policy…**
Currently, all investments are held as cash at bank balances.
## **Operating Reserves…**
The church aims to hold Cash Operating Reserves in line with the monthly expenses incurred. The trustees aim to maintain such reserves to at least the equivalent of 3 months of operating expenses in these accounts in the future. This equates to target cash reserves of c. £65,000. At 31 December the cash balance held in the general fund was £298,181.
## **Grants & Gifts…**
As detailed below in the financial statements, the church has made payments to Vineyard Churches UK & Ireland (VCUKI) connected to the licensing of the church. VCUKI promotes the planting of new churches and provides support to churches in the Vineyard movement in the UK. During the period, including those payments, Croydon Vineyard gave away 5% of its unrestricted income in the form of grants and gifts.
## **Fixed assets…**
All assets and investments held by the church fall within those permitted by the Memorandum and Articles.
## **Public benefit…**
7
## **Croydon Vineyard**
The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the Company’s aims and objectives both in the year under review and in planning future activities. The trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no private benefit – Tom Thompson is paid a salary by the Company in his role as Senior Pastor of Croydon Vineyard, as set out in Note 4.
## **Independent Examiner…**
So far as each of the trustees is aware at the time the report is approved:
- There is no relevant information of which the charitable company’s independent examiner is unaware; and
- The trustees have taken all the steps they ought to have taken in order to make themselves aware of any relevant information and to establish that the Church’s independent examiner is aware of that information.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small entities.
Approved by the trustees/directors on 19th June 2023 and signed on their behalf.

## **Independent examiner’s report to the members of Croydon Vineyard**
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
I have examined the accounts for the 12-month period ended 31 December 2022 on pages 10 to 16 following which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out on pages 12-13.
## **Respective Responsibilities of Directors/Trustees and Examiner**
The directors/trustees of the company are responsible for the preparation of accounts; they consider that the audit requirements under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 do not apply but that an independent examination is needed. I have been appointed to conduct an Independent Examination required by section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and to report in accordance with the regulations made under section 145 of that Act. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts, without performing an audit, and to report to the trustees.
Having satisfied myself that the company is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
- (1) examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011.
- (2) follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011.
- (3) state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of Examiner's Statement**
This report is in respect of an examination carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011, and in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity, and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes a review of the accounts and making such enquiries as are necessary for the purpose of this report. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Examiner's Statement**
Based on my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, accounting records have not been kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006, or that the accounts presented do not accord with those records or comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006. No matter has come to my notice in connection with my examination to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts.

## **Croydon Vineyard**
## **Notes to the Accounts**
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **1.1 Accounting convention**
The accounts have been prepared under the historic cost convention, 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) issued on 16 July 2014; and with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
The trustees (who are the charitable company's directors for the purposes of company law) 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.”
The following are the accounting policies which have been applied in dealing with material items: -
## **1.2 Funds accounting**
- Unrestricted funds are those which are not subject to any special restrictions, and they can be used as the Trustees decide in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds are part of unrestricted funds and are amounts the Trustees have set aside to cover particular expenditure.
- Restricted funds are those where the donor has imposed restrictions on how the fund may be used, but which do not prevent the fund being spent. On 31 December 2022 Croydon Vineyard held no restricted funds.
- Endowment funds are those where there is a requirement imposed by the donor to retain capital, but which allows income arising to be used. On 31 December 2022 Croydon Vineyard held no endowment funds.
## **1.3 Incoming resources**
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
- Donated income and grants receivable are recognised in the accounts when received by the charity. Income received in circumstances where a claim for repayment of tax has been or will be made to HMRC is grossed up for the tax recoverable. Any amount of tax able to be claimed from HMRC but not yet received is included with the charity’s debtors.
- The charity has relied significantly upon volunteers in carrying out its activities during the year, particularly church services, and advancement of the Christian faith. In accordance with paragraph 6.19 of the SORP, the role of volunteers has not been recognised as income from donated services in the accounts.
- Donated goods are valued at the amount they are sold for at the date they are sold. No donated goods were sold in the period.
12
## **Croydon Vineyard**
- Investment income is included when receivable. Income from investments is apportioned to the general fund.
## **1.4 Resources expended**
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be recovered and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
- Charitable activities expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and service for beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them. As noted in the Trustees’ Report the charity’s object and principal activity is the advancement of the Christian faith. All strategies and separate activities are deemed to fall under this principal activity and are analysed on this basis.
- Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity and include the audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity.
## **1.5 Pension costs**
The company operates a defined contribution scheme for certain of its employees. Pension premiums are charged as they are paid.
## **1.6 Taxation**
The company is a registered charity and is exempt from taxation under the Income & Corporation Taxes Acts.
## **1.7 Cash Flow Statement**
The charity has taken advantage of the exemption in Financial Reporting Standard 1 ‘Cash Flow Statement’ which allows small companies not to prepare a Cash Flow Statement.
## **1.8 Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement**
The trustees do not consider that there any material sources of estimation or uncertainty at the balance sheet date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities in the next reporting period.
## **2 Income**
The income and net movement on funds are wholly attributable to the company’s main object. The income arises entirely in the UK.
