Summary of main achievements during the year to August 2023
Monday Focus continues to provide a well supported venue for older people with a programme which provides lunch and a variety of talks and activities
A fortnightly Thursday lunchtime service continues, facilitated by Zoom
We have links with Ukraine via the Ukraine school, who use our premises.
Chislehurst Artists group have use our premises for their twice yearly exhibitions as well as their meetings. This is a collaborative arrangement as they have willingly loaned us their equipment for church displays.
The Christmas Tree Festival resumed
We collect items for local food bank providers.
Public Benefit
We confirm the trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
Examples of Public Benefit
NHS Blood Transfusion service use the premises on a frequent basis. Cocaine Abuse Anonymous (CA) and Ukrainian School are users.
The Chislehurst Society use the premises for exhibitions, public meetings and lectures. The Chislehurst Art Society uses the premises for bi-annual exhibitions The National Trust (local group) hold monthly afternoon lectures. Coffee Morning – September for Macmillan Cancer support.
There is a weekly drop-in centre for those bereaved organised by St Christopher's Hospice and Local GP Surgeries.
The Christmas Tree Festival, much appreciated by the community resumed in 2022. Donations were allocated to the Petts Wood Play Group for children with special needs and Living on Bereavement Service, which caters for children who have lost a close family member. The Administrator gives time to Mottingham Methodist church, which enables them to let their premises more effectively. The increase in income has made a considerable difference to their financial stability.
Supporting a rural school in Sierra Leone with a grant toward the cost of teachers. There are numerous different activities, both physical and educational for all ages from infants to older people.
Financial Review:
The Chislehurst Church Model Trust Fund had a balance at the year-end of £69,308. This fund derives from three legacies. Its use is restricted by the Methodist Conference. The Church Council has determined that £25,000 of this fund be reserved to meet the cost of any unexpected expenditure, arising from an emergency, for which there are insufficient funds available in the Church’s current account. There was no call upon this contingency during the year, however it is expected there will be a call on some of the funds to meet major costs in bringing fire alarm, fire protection and electric wiring systems up to date during 2023-24.
There is a reduction in the worshipping community, resulting in a downturn in income from this source. As the accounts reflect, majority of our income derives from letting the premises.
We have committed the sum of £9,000 per annum for three years toward the support of teachers’ salaries for a rural school in Sierra Leone. They are registered as a charity in the UK. Due to a hold up in opening a bank account, the first year's contribution was delayed. During the current accounting period, two payments have been made representing Years 1 & 2.
Reserves
The reserves policy for the Church is to hold a sum equivalent to six months average expenditure.
It is necessary to hold sufficient working capital to meet the payment of the quarterly assessment and monthly salary and related costs for the part-time administrator and ongoing support for the church's maintenance and activities.
Declaration
The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above
