WARLINGHAM METHODIST CHURCH ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2019-20
Trustees’ Annual Report
Introduction
The Church Council of Warlingham Methodist Church (the Trustees) have pleasure in reporting on how the church has used its resources to deliver the mission of the church, to the glory of God. This year has been exceptional as the world and the country has come to terms with the need to restrict how we live and meet to combat the spread of the deadly Covid-19 virus. We temporarily ceased to meet face-to-face for worship, youth work and in homes for bible study from the end of March 2020, following the Government’s decision to enter a period of lockdown. During this time, we developed digital church to meet online. Sunday services were held using our newly acquired Zoom account and a number of new on-line bible studies were established. Our youth and families team reached out digitally. From 2nd August 2020, following a full risk assessment and after implementing measures recommended, we began to meet for Sunday services again with numbers limited to around 30 and the service simultaneously shared on Zoom.
Structure & Governance
Warlingham Methodist Church is the local Methodist church in Warlingham and is part of the wider Methodist Church. Methodist churches are linked together through Circuits and Districts. These form the Connexion. Warlingham Methodist Church is part of the Purley Circuit and the London District.
We are a local charity, registered with the Charity Commission (Charity Number 1156399).
The Church means both the people and the buildings. It is the whole body of members who worship together.
The Church Council with the minister has responsibility for the co-ordination of that ministry, and the members of the Church Council are managing trustees of the church buildings. Some Church members belong to the Church Council, either because they have been elected by the local church members, or because they hold specified offices within the local church.
For people who wish to become members of the Methodist Church, there is a period of training and, once the local church council is satisfied with the person's sincere acceptance of the basis of membership of the Church, a service of confirmation and reception into membership is held. If they have not previously been baptised, the service will include baptism.
The Deed of Union (the key foundation document of the Methodist Church since it became united in 1932) states that: "All those who confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour and accept the obligation to serve him in the life of the Church and the world are welcome as members of the Methodist Church".
Aim & Objectives:
: The Church exists to exercise the whole ministry of Christ. Worship, fellowship, pastoral care, mission and service are essential features of that ministry.
Our aim at Warlingham Methodist Church is: “As committed followers of Jesus we all desire to be used by The Holy Spirit to make the Love and Power of God real to people of the neighbourhood”.

Review of the Year
Financial Commentary
The focus of the church in financial terms continues to be mission and care. We continue to invest in youth and family outreach work. The Church had an overall surplus of £19,218 (2018-19 surplus of £44,523). Unrestricted funds recorded a surplus of £5,667 (2018-19 surplus of £43,406). Restricted funds recorded a surplus of £13,551 (2018-19 surplus of £1,117). From the end of March 2020, the church buildings were closed in line with government guidance until a full risk assessment and mitigating action undertaken. As a result, income from rentals fell and also from collections. Income from members held up as most continued to give and some increased giving to meet shortfalls. Costs also reduced for planned events and general repairs.
Income
We received £143,953 (2018-19: £212,147) of income. Unrestricted income increased to £106,271 (201819: increased to £96,840). Rents decreased to £18,380 (2018-19 decreased to £22,995) as a result of our need to close our buildings from March 2020 until August 2020.
Restricted income decreased to £37,680 (2018-19: £115,307) reflecting last year’s one-off gifts for the purchase of an organ (£54,170) and building projects. There were also grants to support youth and families work from the London District, of £15,500 (2018-19: £16,500) and from the Purley Circuit of £5,000 (to be used over three years).
Expenditure
We spent £107,604 (2018-19: £167,624). We used our resources for our Circuit Ministry team, the Circuit Assessment, £33,829 (2018-19: £37,375); Youth and family work, running free clubs and events for the young people in the local area £48,788 (2018-19: £52,882). We did not furlough our workers during lockdown. Insurance; gas; electricity etc. cost £8,214 (2018-19: £8,580). Repairs and maintenance of the buildings was £12,036 (2018-19: £40,287). The prior year included spend on replacing the church kitchen. A depreciation charge of £10,834 has been included which relates to the new organ (2018-19: £10,834).
Fixed Assets
The Church Council are managing trustees and the building ownership is vested in The Trustees for Methodist Purposes in Manchester. The Church Council are required to insure, maintain and improve the buildings and have full access to them and enjoy the income from rentals. As most of the risks and rewards of ownership are with the Church Council, the buildings have been included in these financial statements at deemed cost based on an insurance assessor valuation extant in 2015.
Risk Management
During the year, a risk management review work was undertaken by the Property Committee in terms of Health & Safety and fire risks. A detailed risk assessment was undertaken following government guidance before the church premises were reopened. All of the necessary adjustments were made to ensure the premises were Covid-secure.
The Church Council leadership team continued to oversee the risks relating to not successfully delivering the Church’s objectives. It increased its meetings to monthly to consider issues and agree actions to mitigate the effects of the impact on achieving objectives caused by the restrictions as a result of Covid-19. It reports back to Church Council, with recommendations. Church Council took leadership of ensuring data protection and safeguarding risks were addressed.

Safeguarding
The church believes that every person has a value and dignity which comes directly from the creation of male and female in God’s own image and likeness. The Church is committed to ensuring the implementation of Connexional Safeguarding Policy; government legislation, guidance and safe practice in the circuit and in the churches. The Church has provided support, advice and training for lay and ordained people to help 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.
Worship, fellowship, pastoral care, mission and service
During the first part of the year we successfully ran Thursday club (34 members) for those aged 14 plus and Tuesday club (38 members and junior leaders) for those aged 11-13. We were encouraged to see more from these groups attending worship on each Sunday morning, up until March 2020. From March until October 2020, online meetings were held.
The church has employed a Families’ Worker for four years. This role has focused on sharing the love of Jesus and serving young families in the local area. Until March 2020 we ran MC Kids on Sunday mornings, welcoming up to 10 young families each Sunday. As well as the Families Workers, MC Kids was supported by church members volunteering to provide craft activities, worship and Christian teaching.
Again, until March we continued to offer quarterly ‘Ignite’ contemporary services on Saturdays to complement Sunday mornings, with food provided by the church. Some 50 people on average attended with most under 25 years old. We also offered a monthly prayer breakfast (this moved to on-line from March) and bible studies (also moved online). We also introduced Take time bible study and meditation each Wednesday during the period.
In terms of developing our Sunday worship, we have undertaken many local arrangements, involving a greater number of our congregation in planning and leading Sunday worship. These local arrangements continued once the church reopened in August.
We continued to run free-to-all fellowship focused community events, particularly the Friday Coffee morning and Film Club. These events offered the opportunity to all in our local community to join us to simply share time and company together, building a loving community. From March these activities ceased.
Many Church members, and those who worship with us, gave their time and effort to run, host and offer support to these activities, making the love of Jesus visible to the local community.
We have continued to share the Good News of the Gospel with those locally and through the Tuesday and Thursday clubs. From October 2020 we have gradually started to meet in COVID-secure environments ensuring we follow government rules in terms of number, distancing, protective equipment and cleaning.
Volunteers
During the year, just over 60 individuals supported the church in a voluntary capacity for events including: Sunday worship, Ignite worship, junior church, Messy Church, Prayer breakfast, Easter breakfast, Tuesday Club, Thursday Club, Coffee morning, Film group, summer clubs, Pastoral visiting, bible study groups, church workdays and other church activities. Many of our volunteers supported several different activities.
Reserves
Our total net unrestricted Reserves, excluding reserves relating to the church building, stood at £86,413 (2018-19 £69,842). Our Reserves policy is to hold enough unrestricted reserves to meet the cost of major repairs and to smooth income fluctuations. Our aim is to hold reserves not exceeding seven months of

expenditure. We currently plan to deploy our reserves over the coming years to fund youth and family work and contribute towards the building upkeep.
Our cash-based Reserves are held in interest bearing accounts. Amounts not required to meet immediate expenditure are invested with the Central Finance Board of the Methodist Church, who aim to apply a Christian based ethical investment regime. Funds held for immediate use are held in our HSBC current accounts.
Plans for the future
As the country adapts to a new normal, we have continued to develop our approach, and in the year ahead we will be focusing on developing our digital ministry. We will invest in our AV equipment. We will continue to invest to make our buildings safe, including protective equipment to allow our musicians to safely perform together during worship. We aim to continue to offer youth work and family work to the local community around Warlingham. We will seek to continue to fund this work from giving by church members but will also look to other external funding over the year.
We continue to pray and thank God for all the blessings we have as His church and rely on His grace.
Church Council Members’ (Trustees’) responsibilities in relation to the financial statements
The charity trustees (church council members) are responsible for preparing a trustees’ annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, of the charity for that period.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the applicable Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures that must be disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Independent Examination of the Accounts
The independent examination of the accounts was kindly undertaken by John Bamford (FCA).

Independent Examiner’s Report
Report to the members (trustees) of Warlingham Methodist Church on accounts for the year ended 31 August 2020 (Charity no: 1156399) set out on pages 9 to 14.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity
-
Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the
-
accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Accounts
1. Accounting framework and accounting policies
i Accounting framework The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 in accordance with the 2014 version of 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 (FRS 102).
ii Basis
These accounts have been prepared on the basis of historical cost on the accruals basis.
iii Income recognition
Income is brought into account when it is more likely than not that the economic benefit of the income will accrue. No attempt is made to measure the value of services donated by volunteers. In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the time of volunteers is not recognised.
iv Expenditure This is recognised when a 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.
v VAT
Since the Church is not VAT registered, all input VAT is charged with the expenses to which it refers.
vi Tangible fixed assets These are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year, and individually cost at least £1,000. No depreciation is provided on the building because the trustees consider the current residual fair value of the building to be not less than its deemed cost to date. The property has been reviewed for impairment. Plant and Machinery are depreciated over five years and furniture and fittings over ten years.
vii Receivables and Payables; Bank and Cash Debtors are stated at the amounts owed or prepaid. Creditors are initially recognised at settlement amount after any trade discounts, where normal credit terms apply, or amount advanced to the Church. Subsequently creditors that are current liabilities are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be paid. The liquid funds of bank balances and deposit account balances are shown at the realisable values.
viii. Funds
Restricted funds relate to incoming resources which are to be used in accordance with the donor’s wishes. Unrestricted funds have no such restrictions on their use and may be applied for any charitable purpose in accordance with the church’s aims and objectives. Details of Funds are shown at note 12.
ix. Pensions The Church makes contributions towards a defined contribution pension scheme equivalent to 6% of salary for relevant staff.
