WARLINGHAM METHODIST CHURCH ANNUAL REPORT & ACCOUNTS 2024-25
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 we continued to run clubs and weekly services, focusing on maintaining worship and our fellowship. We introduced a new monthly contemporary worship service on Sunday evenings aimed at those on the edge of church. We continued to offer digital Ministry on Zoom for those unable to attend in person. We also undertook a project to improve security by installing CCTV and continued to maintain the church buildings, whilst making them available to the community and groups.
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. 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 learning and preparation before 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”.
The purposes of Warlingham Methodist Church and the wider Methodist Church of which it is a part 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 any 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; and (d) any purpose for the time being of any charity being a charity subsidiary or ancillary to the Methodist Church.

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 deficit of £11,555 (2023-2024: £20,812). Unrestricted funds recorded a surplus of £4,199 (2023-24: deficit of £14,072). Restricted funds recorded a deficit of £15,754 (2023-24 surplus £6,740). Income from rentals remain steady after considering one-off income in 2023-24. Underlying costs have also increased, in-line with inflation, after to allowing for the hall floor replacement in 2023-24.
Income
We received £103,153 (2023-24: £117,042) of income. Unrestricted income increased to £100,153 (202324: £90,796). Income from offerings increased to £55,944 (2023-24: £46,054). Rents were steady at £21,412 after taking into account one-off income in 2024 (2023-24: £25,144). Restricted income decreased to £3,000 (2023-24: £26,246) reflecting the end of the District family and youth worker grants and the completion of projects funded by members. Investment income (interest on the CFB account) fell, reflecting lower average balances in the accounts and small falls in interest rates, to £5,472 (2023-24: £6,475).
Expenditure
We spent £114,708 (2023-24: £137,854). We used our resources for our Circuit Ministry team, the Circuit Assessment, £46,128 (2023-24 £42,608); Youth and family work, running free clubs and events for the young people in the local area £31,297 (2023-24: £33,607). Insurance; gas; electricity etc. cost £11,574 (2023-24: £10,199). Repairs and maintenance of the buildings was £16,983 (2023-24: £45,725). Other expenditure increased to £5,413 (2023-24 £2,442) reflecting the additional costs of a part-time admin worker this year and inflation.
Fixed Assets – Land and Buildings
The Church Council are managing trustees and the land and 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 reinstatement cost based on the last insurance assessor valuation.
Risk Management
During the year, a risk management review was undertaken by the Property group relating to Health & Safety and fire risks. The Church Council leadership team continued to oversee the risks of not successfully delivering the Church’s objectives. It met monthly to consider issues and agree actions to mitigate the effects of any barriers to achieving objectives. It reports back to Church Council, with recommendations where appropriate. Church Council took leadership of ensuring that 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 both children and adults who may be vulnerable.

Worship, fellowship, pastoral care, mission and service
The Youth work ministry has continued, and we continued to offer a youth club (years 7 to 9) from 7-8.30 pm on a Tuesday. The youth club for older teenagers (years 10 to 12) from 7.30pm to 9pm on a Thursday, ceased meeting when our part-time youth worker left the role. The number of young people attending, 10 on average, are lower than last year, but we hope to restart Thursday club when we recruit a new youth worker. Youth Church has continued Sundays, again with around 10 each Sunday. We are very grateful to the loyal volunteer team who have enabled this outreach to continue.
Our Families’ Worker has focused on sharing the love of Jesus and serving young families in the local area. As well as the Family Worker, church members also volunteered to provide craft activities, worship, and Christian teaching. We ran teddy bears for toddlers and mums/carers on a weekly basis during term time. We also ran several outreach events including; fireworks in November and a summer club.
We also offered a monthly prayer breakfast and weekly bible studies throughout the year. In terms of developing our Sunday worship, as with last year, we have undertaken several local arrangements, involving a greater number of our congregation in planning and leading Sunday worship, including the Youth and Family team. We ceased our monthly contemporary Ignite Service on Saturdays, with around 30 attending on average. Instead, we started a monthly Sunday evening contemporary service and are pleased to note that the average attendance has been more than 70.
In terms of building a loving community in Warlingham, we ran the monthly film club on the first Monday of each month followed be refreshments. This was attended by an average of 22 older members of the community. All these events were free to the community, and we provided free food and light refreshments, helping to provide company, a warm space and nourishment. 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.
Volunteers
During the year, 43 (2023-24 46) individuals supported the church in a voluntary capacity for events including: Sunday worship, Ignite worship, junior church, Prayer breakfast, Clubs, Holiday club, Pastoral visiting, bible study groups, supporting our families work and other church activities. Many of our volunteers supported several different activities.
Reserves
Our total net unrestricted cash Reserves, excluding reserves relating to the church building, stood at £92,711 (2023-24: £76,146). Our Reserves policy is to hold unrestricted cash 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. This year reserves are higher due to the vacancy for part of the year with our youth worker. We are actively recruiting and expect reserves to fall once we have a new youth worker. 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
We are moving forward by God’s grace, full of hope for his plans for us. We aim to continue to offer youth work and family work to the local community around Warlingham and are actively recruiting a part-time youth worker. 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 have moved the monthly Ignite service from Saturday evening to Sunday evening to ensure worship is accessible to both those who work at weekends and those who cannot make the morning service.
We continue to pray and thank God for all the blessings we have as His church and rely on His grace.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

-
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;

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.

Notes to the Accounts
1. Accounting framework and accounting policies
i Accounting framework The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act.
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.
