## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**
The trustees, who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of company law, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities' (SORP FRS 102).
The charitable company was incorporated on 26 February 2013.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims**
The charity's objects for the public benefit are:
- a) To advance the Christian faith in accordance with our Statement of Beliefs appearing within this report, in Harrogate and in such other parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the trustees of the charity may from time to time think fit and to fulfil such other purposes which are exclusively charitable according to the law of England and Wales and are connected with the charitable work of the charity;
- b) To relieve aged persons and persons in conditions of need, hardship, sickness, or distress arising therefrom whether in connection with housing or accommodation or shelter or any other purpose (whether by way of loan, gift, the provision of accommodation or shelter or in any other way) in Harrogate and in such other parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the trustees may from time to time think fit;
- c) To advance education, whether of children (above or below compulsory school age) or of adults.
## **Significant activities**
HOPE Church works out these aims and objectives through its members by:
Holding regular meetings in public locations such as town centres, parks and local community centres; as well as our regular Sunday morning meeting in the main hall of Ashville College in Harrogate which provides an opportunity to worship and hear practical Biblical teaching. All these meetings are open to anyone who wishes to attend and recordings of the teaching are freely available to the public via our website. We also hold courses such as "Alpha" that are promoted in public venues such as cafés and bars and are open to anyone of any faith or none to attend; as are our other regular times of prayer and worship.
Working with, supporting and partnering with other churches and organisations in the area that help alleviate poverty. We are also proactively involved in the work of "Reflect Harrogate" (Pregnancy Crisis Service) and "Baby Basics" (helping vulnerable new mothers) which were groups started by and supported by members of HOPE Church.
Running our own children's work via "HOPE Kids" activities. Church staff and volunteers occasionally visit local schools to support curricular activities such as assemblies; religious education; and ethics, morals and citizenship. We also run courses open to the public on financial planning and debt management using resources provided by national organisations such as CAP (Christians Against Poverty).
The charity carries out a wide range of activities in support of its charitable aims. The trustees consider that these activities, provide benefit to both active members of the Church and the wider community of Harrogate.
## **Public benefit**
The trustees have complied with the duty in section 17 (5) of the 2011 Charities Act to have due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission.
## **Grantmaking**
HOPE Church aims to be a generous church and as such we regularly try to give donations and/or grants to other organisations and at times individuals that the Trustees feel are in line with our charitable objectives.

## **Charitable Activities**
During the year under review, the main area of progress and achievement included:
1. Moving Sunday morning meetings online because of COVID in order to continue to provide an opportunity for worship and practical biblical teaching during the lockdown of 2020.
2. Pivoting of Hope Kids children's work online to enable children to participate safely during lockdown and worship with their families.
3. Establishing Hope Youth online to allow young people to have vital connection during lockdown.
4. Continued expansion and development of the pastoral / care network.
5. Ongoing participation in the national 'Alpha' evangelism / outreach initiatives, including moving Alpha online for the first time during lockdown.
7. Continued financial and spiritual support of the team sent to establish a church plant in Vancouver, Canada.
8. The granting of financial gifts and practical support to individuals in need and to other charitable organisations with similar objectives.

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Reserves policy**
It is the policy of HOPE Church to maintain unrestricted cash reserves at a level that will cover a minimum of three months' gross salary expenses with a target of six months. As at 31 March 2021 this was approximated to be a minimum of £27,900 and a target of £55,800. This reserve exists to ensure that the church can continue to operate even when there are unusual items of expenditure, or unexpectedly low income.
## **Covid-19**
The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic has cause major disruptions around the world. The Government have made interventions designed to reduce the spread of the virus and stabilise the economic environment, however the overall impact of the pandemic still remains unclear.
HOPE Church has adapted to the outbreak of the virus by holding congregation meetings and church gatherings online. HOPE Church ensures that its puts its members safety first and will continue to follow the relevant government guidance.
HOPE Church will continue to meet online until government guidance relating to Covid-19 allows physical meetings to take place and a suitable risk assessment have been carried out.
The trustees believe that HOPE Church will continue for the foreseeable future as the charity is still able to receive income from online donations and is able to continue its charitable activities under the current conditions. As such the accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021**
## **STATEMENT OF BELIEFS**
We believe in:
The one true God who lives eternally in three persons-the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
The love, grace and sovereignty of God in creating, sustaining, ruling, redeeming and judging the world.
The divine inspiration and supreme authority of the Old and New Testament Scriptures, which are the written Word of God-fully trustworthy for faith and conduct.
The dignity of all people, made male and female in God's image to love, be holy and care for creation, yet corrupted by sin, which incurs divine wrath and judgement.
The incarnation of God's eternal Son, the Lord Jesus Christ-born of the Virgin Mary; truly divine and truly human, yet without sin.
The atoning sacrifice of Christ on the cross: dying in our place, paying the price of sin and defeating evil, so reconciling us with God.
The bodily resurrection of Christ, the first fruits of our resurrection; his ascension to the Father, and his reign and mediation as the only Saviour of the world.
The justification of sinners solely by the grace of God through faith in Christ.
The ministry of God the Holy Spirit, who leads us to repentance, unites us with Christ through new birth, empowers our discipleship and enables our witness.
The Church, the body of Christ both local and universal, the priesthood of all believers-given life by the Spirit and endowed with the Spirit's gifts to worship God and proclaim the gospel, promoting justice and love.
The personal and visible return of Jesus Christ to fulfil the purposes of God, who will raise all people to judgement, bring eternal life to the redeemed and eternal condemnation to the lost, and establish a new heaven and new earth.
## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES**
The trustees (who are also the directors of Hope Church Harrogate for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF HOPE CHURCH HARROGATE (REGISTERED NUMBER: 08420082)**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Hope Church Harrogate ('the Company')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2021.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity's trustees of the Company (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 the Company 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**
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of ICAEW which is one of the listed bodies.
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 Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of 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
4. 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.

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.
## **Charitable activities**
Costs of charitable activities comprise all costs incurred in the pursuit of the charitable objects of the charity. These costs, where not wholly attributable, are apportioned between the categories of charitable expenditure in addition to the direct costs.
