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 2022. 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" (Pregnancy Crisis Service) and "The Village Harrogate" (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. 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.

## **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 2022 this was approximated to be a minimum of £38,900 and a target of £77,800. This reserve exists to ensure that the church can continue to operate even when there are unusual items of expenditure, or unexpectedly low income.

## **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 fulfilthe 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.

**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 2022.
## **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.
