Annual Report & Accounts for year ended 31 December 2021

2 Overview

The trustees present their annual report and accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021. It contains the following items:

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019)’.

3 Objective and Activities for the Public Benefit

3.1 General

Christchurch Baldock is situated in North Hertfordshire in the East of England region, serving communities in the surrounding towns and villages.

The church is a large community-based church which is focused on serving all ages. We are affiliated with:

The activities of the church involve the promotion of our beliefs and reaching out to our community and beyond, providing care and sharing our faith.

While COVID-19 restrictions were in place, the Sunday morning and Sunday evening services were streamed on YouTube. Since it has been possible, the Sunday morning and evening services have been meeting in person. The morning service continues to be live streamed and the evening service is recorded and put on the church’s website and YouTube.

The trustees of Christchurch Baldock confirm they have had regard for the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and believe they have met the legal requirement of the Charities Act 2011.

3.2 Charitable Objectives

Our Church Rules define our aim, mission and values:

Our aim & mission: Christchurch Baldock has as its supreme aim to glorify God. This involves living for him and making known the gospel of Jesus Christ, which is God’s only means of salvation. We also desire to be a caring and supportive community.

Our values: We seek to live according to the teaching of the Bible which is the word of God.

Our Public Benefit Statement describes, in practical detail, the two purposes of the church.

  1. The advancement of the Christian faith in accordance with the Basis of Faith, primarily but not exclusively within North Hertfordshire and the surrounding neighbourhood;

  2. Such other charitable purposes as shall, in the opinion of the members of the Church in general meeting further the work of the Church.

We carry out these purposes by activities which include but are not limited to the following:

Christchurch Baldock

Registered Charity Number 1154689

Annual Report & Accounts for year ended 31 December 2021

In the opinion of the Trustees, the purposes of the Church have been met by the activities reported for 2021, as listed below and reviewed with church members at the Annual General Meeting.

3.3 Significant Activities During the 2021 Year

The main ministry of Christchurch is not that carried out by the staff team but by the membership of the church. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted and reinforced this. Great love and care is shown particularly during times of crisis and family stress. Meals are cooked for families with new babies. Care is shown for the elderly and bereaved. We are very pleased with the way that ordinary families in the church use their homes for hospitality particularly as a way of welcoming people who are not yet Christians into the church.

We have continued to develop online services and live streaming of events and services. In the early part of the year we maintained online platforms for small groups and meetings including groups for children and young people. As restrictions eased, the vast majority of these have returned to in-person meetings. After the significant hiatus there was a need to rebuild the volunteer teams to support church and community activities, and we are pleased that most of these have successfully resumed.

I would particularly like to pay tribute to our church secretary, Malcolm Rickson, who stepped down this past year and has been ably replaced by Chris Banks.

We had a church day away with Richard Underwood who taught on the work of the Holy Spirit from the book of Ephesians.

In August we were able to hold a garden party during which an individual was baptised. We have also baptised two young children and dedicated two more.

We held a harvest festival in September during which the members were invited to review their stewardship and giving to the church.

December was a busy month with the Baldock fair on 4[th] at which we provided a choir and a Nativity photo booth. Our Christmas events included celebrations for all our community groups, as well as a Family Christingle party, an all age Nativity service and a Carols by Candlelight event. Invitations to these were delivered to homes throughout Baldock by the church.

The church has continued to fulfil its role in the community and provides public benefit through activities including:

Registered Charity Number 1154689

Annual Report & Accounts for year ended 31 December 2021

We support local and overseas charities and mission endeavours. We are pleased to record that we also support a number of children from deprived areas with their education and living costs, working through Compassion UK. Grants were made in 2021 to:

as shown in the accounts (see Note 10). Many members also support Christian & charitable organisations at home and abroad.

Through our hardship fund we were also able to provide emergency financial support to individuals in critical need.

3.4 Where are we going in 2022?

It remains our goal to be a biblical and contemporary church – teaching the historic truths of the Christian faith in a way which communicates with the modern world. In particular, we are keen to develop every member ministry, that is to say, that every member of the church should be involved in serving.

In Philippians 1:3-5 the Apostle Paul says: “I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now…” A contemporary biblical church will view its members as partners in the work not as passive recipients only. Our goal for Christchurch is that everyone should see themselves as investing time, energy and talents in the work of the gospel for God’s glory.

We are in the process of renewing our goals and vision. While our desire remains unchanged to be a biblical and contemporary church we are seeking a fresh expression of this to meet the challenges of contemporary life. During 2021 we agreed a new Mission Statement in four parts which is to be launched early in 2022.

We are reviewing our governance structures to make the most of the human resources at our disposal.

4 Structure, Governance and Management

The Trustees are responsible for the day-to-day running of the Incorporated Charity. Charity law requires the Trustees to do the following:

4.1 Duty to ensure regulatory compliance

Christchurch Baldock

Page 6 of 29

Registered Charity Number 1154689

Annual Report & Accounts for year ended 31 December 2021

4.2 Duty of prudence

4.3 Duty of Care

4.4 Safeguarding Policy

The church has a Safeguarding Policy for the protection of children & vulnerable persons. This is available from our public domain church website. This policy has been extensively reviewed during the year and the new policy will be launched early in 2022, along with training for all involved. The Trustees continue to liaise with the leadership team and all those working with children and with vulnerable adults to ensure high standards of care are maintained, including appropriate Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) checks on all leaders and helpers.

4.5 Risk Review

Risk Assessments have been carried out and are held on file for all our meeting locations. These include:

The church holds appropriate insurance including public liability insurance to cover all these locations, as well as insurance for the assets owned by the church, and trustee liability insurance.

4.6 Data Protection Policy

The Data Protection Legislation is concerned with the protection of human rights in relation to personal data. The aim of the Legislation is to ensure that personal data is used fairly and lawfully and that where necessary the privacy of individuals is respected. During the course of the activities of Christchurch Baldock the Church will collect, store and process personal data about our members, people who attend our services and activities, suppliers and other third parties and we recognise that the correct and lawful treatment of this data will maintain confidence in the Church.

The policy sets out the basis on which we will process any personal data we collect from data subjects, or that is provided to us by data subjects or other sources. The policy relates to all personal data held by Christchurch Baldock, regardless of format. It applies to anyone who handles this personal data, including those working on behalf of the Church.

The Trustees are accountable for compliance with the data protection legislation within the organisation and have appointed a Data Protection Manager (DPM) to handle our day-to-day obligations. This role is fulfilled by the Church Administrator.

4.7 Other Policies

Other policies have been issued and distributed to applicable teams to help manage the church’s affairs. These include:

Christchurch Baldock

Registered Charity Number 1154689

Annual Report & Accounts for year ended 31 December 2021

These policies are reviewed approximately every 2 years by the Trustees to ensure they are being followed and, where necessary, updated to reflect the latest regulations and best practice guidelines.

5 Achievements and Performance

The AGM Ministry Reports, as presented at the AGM, record the various activities of the church throughout the year, with detailed comments on achievements.

The church has continued its programme of preaching, Bible teaching and support activities on Sundays. There is considerable additional teaching in small groups during the week.

The church supports a number of local and national initiatives to care for the disadvantaged and advance the Christian faith.

6 Financial Review

6.1 General

We are extremely grateful for the very generous support we have received from the membership both financially and practically over the past year. This has enabled the work to continue, to promote the gospel and provide public benefit.

Our giving to the church is a part of our worship and commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ. The assets and money must remain servants not masters of what we do, and we need to prayerfully consider together how these things can be best used to serve the purposes of the church.

The trustees have the responsibility to consider how best to use the church’s money and we seek to maximize returns from our Reserves, savings and Building Fund. Our intent is to report transparently but not in excessive detail, as attached, so please speak to the trustees if you have questions.

6.2 Analysis of Income

Donations to the general fund have risen by 6% or £9.5k compared to last year (2021: £158.5k; 2020: £149.0) – see Note 3. Property rental income is the same as last year.

Restricted income fund giving varies year on year depending on the funds supported. This year has seen a small decrease in the total amount compared to last year (2021: £15.2k; 2020: £16.3k).

Refer to details in Section 8.1 (SOFA) and Note 3.

6.3 Analysis of Expenditure

Total costs from the general fund increased by 16% or £24.9k this year compared to last year (2021: £180.4k; 2020: £155.5k). This change is largely due to reduced event costs and reduced hall hire costs which were forced on us by the COVID restrictions in 2020.

Total costs from the restricted funds saw a small decrease compared to last year.

Refer to details in Section 8.1 (SOFA) and Notes 5 to 10.

6.4 Property and Assets

Property owned by the incorporated Charity is as follows:

Christchurch Baldock

Page 8 of 29

Registered Charity Number 1154689

Annual Report & Accounts for year ended 31 December 2021

We are grateful to John Batchelor and Bernard Palmer and their team for the maintenance, upkeep and decoration work performed to ensure the church property assets are kept in good repair.

The church is very grateful for the gifts and member loans which have supported the purchase of the home for our Assistant minister. In this reporting period, £108,542 of loans were repaid. £17,000 is due to be repaid in 2022, leaving a further £50,000 to repaid over the following 6 years.

Net cash current assets are £166.1k, of which £145.5k is unrestricted representing General funds and Reserves, and £20.7k is Restricted funds, as shown in the balance sheet, Section 8.2.

Refer to Section 8.2 (Balance sheet) and Notes 11 to 15.

6.5 Reserves

It is the stated general intent of the Trustees to hold sufficient Reserves to continue the charitable activities of the Trust should income and fundraising activities fall short. The Trustees consider that they should hold a sum equivalent to 3 months running costs, circa £45k (unrestricted expenditure/4), to be held on deposit or other investment which can be readily realised as cash, unless agreed otherwise with the members for particular temporary circumstances.

Reserves held by the church are £63.4k (net current assets of £125.9k – designated funds of £62.5k). This is £18.4k above the Trustees’ Reserves Policy.

6.6 Building and Infrastructure Funds

The church Building Fund, established in March 2014 as a long-term plan to finance the building of premises for church meetings, stands at £9.8k held as Restricted Funds, and members are invited to support this. In addition, available unrestricted funds would be allocated to a building project when applicable.

The Infrastructure Fund (Unrestricted, Designated) was established on 15[th] September 2018 to set aside money each year for use in acquiring buildings, accommodation or other infrastructure. It was agreed that 75% of the net surplus each year which was not otherwise ring-fenced would be placed in this fund. The fund balance at the end of the year is £54.2k. This includes a transfer of £10.8k from the general fund which is 75% of 2021 net income, as agreed by trustees.

6.7 2022 Budget

A budget for 2022 was presented at the Business Meeting in October 2021 and approved.

The budget assumes an unrestricted income of £204.8k, allowing for a continuation of a similar number of staff and activities. In detail, we will support:

Annual Report & Accounts for year ended 31 December 2021

Notes to the Accounts (continued)

The governing document permits payment to trustees and connected parties subject to the number of trustees or their connected parties being remunerated being a minority of the Board (Ref. Governing Document - Articles 18.6.6 and CC11 - Trustee expenses and payments, Sec 4.9).

For the reporting period this condition was met, as two of the six trustees or connected parties were paid.

A total of £22,362 was donated to the charity by trustees and related parties in the year 2021 (£23,715 2020).

One of the trustees is also a trustee of a charity, the Illyrian Gospel Trust (IGT), to which grants have been made. In 2021 grants totalling of £3,597 were made to IGT (2020 - £3,134) from unrestricted funds, which is part of our budgeted support to missionary organisations. (See Note 10.4). Further grants were made to IGT in 2021, totalling £7,103. These are donations made by members to support the work of IGT in response to appeals made in 2020. This £7,103 is made up of £2,103 restricted donations for the support of Will Niven, and £5,000 donated for Albania support through the Special Appeals fund. (See Note 10.4)

One of the trustees is also a trustee of a charity, the Christian Initiative to Schools in Letchworth and District (CIS) to which grants have been made. In 2021 a grant of £391 was made to CIS (2020 - £383) from unrestricted funds.

Note 18. Liability of the Members

The charity is a company limited by guarantee. In the event of the charity being wound up, the liability of the members is limited to £1.

Note 19. Taxation

The company is a registered charity and is therefore exempt from taxation.
