TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021 (1)

Introduction

The Trustees have pleasure in presenting their report accompanying the annual financial statements.

Objectives and activities

Christ Church is in the centre of Woodley, near to the main shopping centre. The first church was established on this site in 1963 as Woodley Methodist Church. The church premises were extended in 1982, and also in that year the members of the former Woodley United Reformed Church joined and the Church becamea Local Ecumenical Partnership between the two demoninations.

Christ Church's mission is (a) to spread the knowledge of God's love as revealed through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and to worship Him through prayer and celebration; (b) to welcome, nurture and support all who seek to know more of His love; (c) to give and receive encouragement within the Church family in the use of talents and graces in worship and service to the church and community, in a spirit of Christian love and fellowship; and (d) to be partners with others in the wider world in promoting justice and showing care and responsibility for all God's creation.

The United Reformed Church has similar purposes.

The Church meets its mission and objectives through the following activities:

*The organisation and resourcing of regular public acts of worship open to members of the church and non members alike, including Holiday Bible Club and Messy Church

*Promoting Christianity through the staging of events and services.

*Allowing the Church premises to be used for a community cafe supporting Action for Children

Achievements and performance

The Church's activities have followed the pattern outlined on the previous page by supporting the work of the Boys' and Girls' Brigades based at the Church; Messy Church for children and their families once a month. Unfortunately these activities had to continue solely on Zoom from December 2020, along with all other activities in the church premises, when the general lockdown was introduced to halt the spread of the “coronavirus. Most of these activities resumed on-site in the Spring.

The Church premises are used by a wide range of community organisations for leisure and recreation activities such as dancing and fitness for young and old, pilates, music and fellowship. These activities ceased during lockdown, but many recommenced meeting in the Spring and Autumn.

A significant amount of time and effort has been devoted to adapting Church life to cope with the restrictions to prevent the spread of coronavirus. Sunday worship has been filmed and transmitted via Zoom and on the internet since lockdown was introduced, including a ‘virtual band and choir’ performing hymns. As further experience was gained, we became aware of the possibilities and the Church is investing in better and more effective equipment for broadcasting Sunday worship or, potentially, other events happening at the Church. Coupled with this, further effort has been devoted to making the premises 'Covid-secure' so that Sunday “worship and use by outside organisations was able to recommence once restrictions were lifted.

The Church has formulated a Mission Action Plan which includes a commitment achieving an 'Eco-Church' * accreditation. The Church has also appinted a Mission and Youth Elder.

The Church maintained an ‘open door’ presence during lockdown (and continuing afterwards) through its Connection Point. This is a desk, staffed on a rota basis by members and others, beside an open door facing Crockhamwell Road. The Connection Point has received donations to Woodley Food Bank, Christian Community Action, and a number of other welfare charities. A total of £2,459 was raised in this way during the year. The Connection Point has also sold plants and received donations for the Church Project, Toilet Twinning. Some chairs were placed in the car park so that socially-distanced conversations could take place.

_

“The Church raises funds for a different charity each calendar year through plant sales off the Connection Point, concerts and other events. Toilet Twinning has been the charity for 2020 and 2021, and a total of £3,307 had been raised between January 2020 and August 2021. The Church is committed to continuing with an annual Project and have appointed a co-ordinator for 2022.

The Church also raised £225 for Traidcraft Exchange as the profit on sale of Traidcraft goods.

For many years the Church has made donations from freewill offerings and the related tax credits. These donations are mainly for denominational mission work, but on occasions amounts have been given to charities working in the Woodley area. This year the Church gave £925 under this category during the year, including specific donations from members.

“The Rainbow Café operates from the Church premises three mornings a week and provides opportunities to meet in a Christian environment for coffee, light lunches and fellowship. The Café is run by Church members and friends but operates through a separate company, and profits are given to Action for Children. Unfortunately the Cafe made a small loss this year with trading reduced due to coronavirus restrictions, but it re-opened fully in Autumn 2021.

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021 (3)

Financial review

Income and expenditure

Church income is primarily drawn from the Sunday collections paid by the congregation plus the related Gift Aid tax credits, and lettings income paid by local community groups using the premises. Collections and tax credit fell by £1,835 over the previous year to £44,572, mainly for loss of casual cash freewill offerings when services were not being held. Lettings fell by £6,072 to £20,559 with the Church being closed part of the year, but lettings have increased since September 2021 as more hirers have returned.

The major expense is the assessment paid to Basingstoke & Reading Circuit, which includes the assessed amount due to the United Reformed Church in respect of the ministry provided. The assessment this year was £43,272, compared with £50,820 the previous year. The assessment pays for the minister's salary and employer pension & NI contributions and travel expenses, manse running costs, Circuit administration, and contributions towards denominational central costs.

The other main expense is Church running costs including heating and lighting, insurance and utilities, and — maintenance which amounted to £19,863 this year. The Church has employed a halls supervisor since September 2019 to liaise with hirers. A further £7,610 was spent in replacing one of the boilers, and £4,218 on further AV equipment for broadcasting services. Reserves

The Church's general funds and earmarked reserves (ie those reserves that are represented by cash and * amounts receivable less amounts owed) fell by £12,659 to £100,690 during the year, reflecting the boiler replacement and enhancement of AV facilities.

The Church's policy is to maintain designated earmarked reserves specifically to cover periodic commitments that would otherwise place a disproportionate burden ona single year's finances and impair the ability of the Church to fulfil its mission through using its premises. These reserves are as follows:

Earmarked reserves

Property improvements, £38,879 at 31st August 2021

The property revaluation reserve (£888,845 at 31st August 2021) is equivalent to the accounts value of the Church premises, furniture and equipment and is not available for use on general activities.

The Church's policy is to hold a minimum of £50,000 on General Funds, equivalent to six months’ average expenditure. Along with the earmarked funds noted above, this should be sufficient to meet unforseen items of expenditure on the premises and/or be able to continue, at least in the short term, funding planned activities and to meet the Circuit assessment.

Plans for 2021/42

The budget for the year commencing 1 September 2021 is based on estimated income from collections and lettings and expected running costs. The underlying assumption is that there will not be further disruption of the ability to use the premises for Church life and by hirers. The budget anticipates £3,584 being taken from general funds and earmarked reserves over the year. If the partial flat roof replacement is commissioned, this would be an additional budget expense but funded from the property improvements reserve.

Safeguarding

Every person has a value and dignity which comes directly from the creation of male and female in God’s own image .and likeness. Christians see this potential as fulfilled by God’s re-creation of us in Christ. Among other things this implies a duty to value all people as bearing the image of God and therefore to protect them from harm. Methodist Connexional practice outlines commitment to the following principles:

=

,

Christ Church Woodley commits itself to ensuring the implementation of Connexional Safeguarding Policy, Government legislation, guidance and safe practice in the Circuit and in the churches.

Christ Church Woodley also commits itself to the provision of support, advice and training for lay and ordained people «that will ensure people are clear and confident about their roles and responsibilities in safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and adults who may be vulnerable.

Accounting responsibilities

Charity law requires trustees to prepare annual accounts that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Church at the year end and of its financial activities during the period. The trustees are required to: a Select suitable accounting policies and apply them prudently;

b Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; es Prepare accounts on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presue that the Church will continue in operation

Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the Church, so that the accounts comply with the charity accounting SORP 2015. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Church and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention of fraud and other irregularities.

The Church is entitled to exemption from audit under the Charities Act but is required to have an independent examination of its accounts; the Church has therefore taken advantage of this exemption.

Approved at a meeting of the Church Trustees on 16 November 2021

Notes to the Accounts

1. The Church's structure, organisation and activities

Christ Church Woodley (Methodist & United Reformed) Church is a Christian organisation that is governed by its constitution dated 5th April 2011, based on the model governing documents for a single congregation local ecumenical partnership, as issued by the Charity Commission. Detailed governance arrangements are outlined in the Constitutional Practice and Discipline of the Methodist Church (CPD) by order of the annual Conference. Day to day management of the Church is undertaken by the Church Leadership Team along with the Minister. The Trustees are appointed at the annual general meeting of the Church.

  1. Basis of accounts preparation

General matters

These accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities SORP 2015 (FRS 102) and the Financial Reporting Standard FRS 102 as updated by Bulletin 1, and in accordance with charity law in the jurisdiction of Englend. The Church is a public benefit entity.

Accounting policies

a) Fixed assets

Fixed assets (ie church property and equipment) are shown at insured value as at 31 August 2010. Insured value is based on rebuilding cost indices. Additions (other than replacements) are capitalised if the cost exceeds more than £2,500 and the expected life exceeds one year.

~ 4 assets are depreciated on the straight line basis at 2% per annum on valuation (land and buildings) and 5% (furniture, fittings and equipment)

b) income

income is recognised when the Church becomes entitled to the resources, and the trustees are reasonably certain they will receive the resources; and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.

c) Expenditure

This,is recognised whena liability is incurred, or a constructive obligation arises, that results in the payment being unavoidable. Liabilities are recognised as soon as an outflow of economic benefit is considered more likely than not under the legal or constructive obligation committing the Church to pay out resources.

d) Grants

Grants made by the Church from its own funds are recognised in full at the time of agreement or when the Church accepts that there is a legal or operational obligation to make the payment. If the grant is recurrent over more than one year the balance payable in future years is treated as a provision for future commitments in the Balance Sheet against the appropriate fund, the provision being released in future years as instalments are paid in accordance with the originally agreed terms.

e) VAT

Since the Church is not VAT registered, all input VAT is included with the expenses to which it refers.
