TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024 (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 became a 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 purposes of the Methodist Church are and shall be deemed to have been since the Date of Union the advancement of:

a) The Christian faith in accordance with the doctrinal standards and discipline of The Methodist Church; b) Any charitable purpose for the time being of any Connexional, District, Circuit, local or other organisation of The Methodist Church;

c) Any charitable purpose for the time being of any society or institution subsidiary or ancillary to The *Methodist Church;

d) Any purpose for the time being of any charity being a charity subsidiary or ancillary to The Methodist The United Reformed Church has similar purposes.

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

• Worshipping God through prayer, song and other acts of worship.

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 The teaching of Christianity through sermons, courses and small groups. *The resourcing of pastoral work including visiting the sick and bereaved.

*Supporting religious teaching in local schools through REInspired.

*Promoting Christianity through the staging of events and services.

*Organising Boys' and Girls' Brigade companies meeting on Church premises for young people in the community

• 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. A very successful Holiday Bible Club was held in August 2024.

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, as well as the Church-sponsored Boys' and Girls' Brigades and 5th Woodley Brownies. The Church is also hosting a monthly Repair Cafe, an initiative started recently by Woodley Town Council.

Achievements and performance, continued

Sunday worship takes place in-person weekly and is filmed and transmitted via Zoom and YouTube for those unable to attend. These facilities are available for other organisations using the Worship Centre for concerts.

The Church has formulated a Mission Action Plan and achieved 'Eco-Church' bronze accreditation.

The Church raises funds for a different charity each calendar year through an annual Spring Fayre, concerts and other events. The project for 2023 was humanitarian relief for Ukraine through two organisations, and a total of £5,098 was raised. The projects for 2024 are REInspired, which is an initiative from Woodley Pilot Light Trust to provide religious education in schools; and Keep Mobile, a charity providing transport for those with mobility difficulties. £1,856 had been raised for these charities by 31 August 2024. A further sum of £1,521 was raised in the year for Woodley Foodbank and other charities from special collections.

The Rainbow Café operates from the Church premises three mornings a week and provides opportunities for people 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. The Cafe made a surplus of £1,770 this year.

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 credits increased by £1,407 over the previous year to £43,424. Additional donations of £3,155 for property projects were received. Lettings also increased by £616 to £40,265 with the premises being well used.

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 £38,808 compared with £41,820 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 £29,810 this year compared with £21,125 the previous year, reflecting significant increases in energy costs. Although less was spent on responsive maintenance and new audio visual equipment, £9,570 was spent in patching the car park and installing LED lighting in the worship centre. The Church employs a halls supervisor to liaise with hirers and undertake other premises-related supervisory work.

Financial review, continued

Reserves

The Church's general funds and earmarked reserves (ie those reserves that are represented by cash and amounts receivable less amounts owed) increased by £8,124 to £102,033 during the year. These funds will be used for the planned Main Hall roof renovation and other work arising from Quinquennial property

The Church's policy is to maintain designated earmarked reserves specifically to cover periodic commitments that would otherwise place a disproportionate burden on a 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 £32,366 at 31 August 2024

• Equipment replacement £8,945

• Youth & families work £1,838

• Charitable donations £2,500

• Woodley Airfield Church residual funds £3,559

The property revaluation reserve (£807,962 at 31st August 2024) 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 at least seven 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 2024/25

The budget for the year commencing 1 September 2024 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 £9,412 being drawn general funds and earmarked reserves over the year towards the Main Hall renovation work planned to be completed by the end of 2024.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024 (5)

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:

• The care and nurture of, and respectful pastoral ministry with, all children, young people and adults

• ¢ The safeguarding and protection of all children, young people and adults when they are vulnerable e Establishing safe, caring communities which provide a loving environment where there is informed vigilance as to the dangers of abuse.

• ¢ Carefully selecting and training all those with any responsibility within the Church, in line with Safer Recruitment principles, including the use of criminal records disclosures and registration with the relevant vetting and barring schemes.

• ¢ Responding without delay to every complaint made which suggests that an adult, child or young person may have been harmed, cooperating with the police and local authority in any investigation.

• ¢ Seeking to work with anyone who has suffered abuse, developing with them an appropriate ministry of informed pastoral care.

• e Seeking to challenge any abuse of power, especially by anyone in a position of trust.

• e Seeking to offer pastoral care and support, including supervision and referral to the proper authorities, to any member of our church community known to have offended against a child, young person or vulnerable adult.

• ¢ In all these principles following legislation, guidance and recognised good practice

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;

• c 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 irreeularities

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.

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 Sth 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.

2. 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 2019 (FRS 102) and the Financial Reporting Standard FRS 102 as updated by Bulletin 1, and in accordance with charity law in the[jurisdiction][of][England.][The][Church][is][a][public][benefit][entity.]

Accounting policies

a) Fixed assets

Fixed assets are now included at depreciated insured value as of 31 August 2010, which was the deemed cost when FRS102 became effective in 2015. This value had been used because it was no longer possible to ascertain the construction cost of the buildings. This represents a change in policy over 2022/23, when fixed assets were included at current insured value. Reverting to the previous policy has been undertaken in accordance with guidance on this topic published on the Methodist Church website. The impact of the accounting policy change is shown below.

Fixed assets are depreciated on the straight line basis at 2.5% per annum on buildings and 5% on 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

	d) Grants	d) Grants	d) Grants	d) Grants	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 originallyagreed			agreed terms.
	e)VAT
	Since the Church is notVAT registered, all inputVAT is included with				the expenses		to	which it refers.
