AMiE Annual Report and Unaudited Financial Statements – Year ended 31 October 2021

## **Anglican Mission in England**
## **Trustees’ Report**
## **For the year ended 31 October 2021**
The trustees (who are also the Directors of the Company for the purposes of company law) are pleased to present their annual directors’ report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ending 31 October 2021 which are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors’ report and accounts for Companies Act purposes.
The financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (“Charities SORP”) (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland; FRS 102) issued in October 2019.
## **Structure, governance and management**
The Anglican Mission in England (‘AMiE’ or the ‘Mission’), was incorporated on 15 May 2014 and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. Its legal status is that of a company limited by guarantee. It has no share capital and the liability of each member in the event of winding-up is limited to £1. The company became registered as a charity on 25 May 2014, with charity number 1158679.
AMiE was recognised as a Convocation by Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON) in December 2020. A Convocation is another term for a diocese-in-formation. This healthy structure will enable fruitful mission. AMiE is part of the Anglican Network in Europe (ANiE), which was itself authorised as an Anglican structure in 2020 by the Archbishops of Gafcon.
## _**Board**_
AMiE is overseen by a Board, comprising trustees (voting members of the Board) and non-voting members. Operational activities are delegated to the Executive Team, and a panel of bishops provides oversight and encouragement for the ministers in AMiE’s churches.
Trustees retire by rotation every three years and may submit themselves for re-election. New or replacement trustees are appointed following regular review of the skills requirements on the Board.
The majority of the board changed in December 2020, in line with the Convocation recognition. Trustee changes were as follows from 1 November 2020 to the signing of the accounts: Revd Richard Leadbeater Resigned 30 November 2020
Mr Brian O’Donoghue Resigned 8 December 2020 (as director and company secretary) Mr Paul Houghton Resigned 8 December 2020

No trustee was remunerated for their services as a trustee during or subsequent to the year. Out-of-pocket expenses may be claimed by all trustees when they are engaged on AMiE activities.

## _**Executive Team**_
The Executive Team comprises people who are appointed by the trustees to lead the activities of the Mission. These activities are Planting, Strengthening, Ministry, Membership and Operations.
There are currently seven members of the Executive Team overseeing these five activity areas, including AMiE’s Operations Managers, which is the only directly employed role within the Mission. This role was filled during the year by Tom Hutton whilst Jo Bull was on maternity leave until September 2021, when she returned and the post was made a shared post. AMiE reimburses the employers of other members of the Executive Team for those Team members’ time spent on AMiE activities. Out-of-pocket expenses may be claimed by all Executive Team members when they are engaged on Mission activities.
## **Objects**
AMiE’s objects are specifically restricted to the advancement of the Christian faith mainly within Anglicanism in England for the benefit of the public, in particular but not exclusively by:
- strengthening church leaders and church congregations to respond effectively to Christ’s command to make disciples of all nations;
- providing faithful leadership to God's people in promoting and defending the Christian faith;
- providing support for God's people standing for the Christian faith in their diocese (including those whose ministry is constrained or impaired by the diocese or excluded from the diocese);
- facilitating appointments for Christian ministers and ordinands and other trainees where needed;
- promoting unity in mission between churches in line with the above.
The Christian faith is defined in article 2 of the Articles of Association.
In shaping the Mission’s objectives for the year and planning our activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

## **Trustees' Report - continued For the year ended 31 October 2021**
## **Overview of Activities**
AMiE is a fellowship of faithful Anglican churches committed to gospel mission. It comprises people who are passionate about planting, strengthening and partnering for the salvation of many and the glory of God.
AMiE is a mission society that seeks to promote gospel growth in areas covered by the Church of England (principally in England, but also in other parts of Europe) by supporting Anglican churches and individuals both within and outside present Church of England structures.
AMiE Churches are congregations who have requested oversight for their church ministers from an AMiE bishop. AMiE Supporting Churches are those whose church ministers receive episcopal oversight from outside the AMiE network, but who support the Mission’s work through prayer and finance.
AMiE, alongside the Church Society, co-sponsors the annual ReNew conference. The AMiE Executive Team shares the ReNew vision of pioneering, establishing and securing a nation of healthy local Anglican churches.
## **Achievements in the year**
Throughout the year, AMiE has continued to plant new churches and identity future church leaders.
Since its incorporation the Mission’s stated goal has been to see 25 AMiE Churches by 2025, and 250 by 2050. Under God, these targets are being pursued by pioneering new churches, recruiting future leaders for ordination, and by welcoming existing Anglican churches in England to join AMiE. At 31 October 2021, the network included 17 AMiE Churches (2020: 21 churches).
Church attendance is a poor measure of the health of a church. Nevertheless, to understand and track numerical growth, the Mission conducted its first annual church attendance roll in October 2019. However, as with so many churches across the world, the Coronavirus pandemic has required all AMiE’s churches to meet online, and so an accurate attendance roll has been impractical. A second roll will be conducted in March 2022.
In order to help grow this network of churches, as indicated above, the Executive Team includes individuals responsible for directing Planting, Growth, Partnership, Ministry and Operations. Assisted by a panel of AMiE bishops, who will serve by overseeing and pastoring AMiE Church ministers, the Board is confident that this will provide appropriate support to the expanding network.
## **Covid-19**
AMiE’s Board has kept closely in touch with the leaders and treasurers of AMiE churches during the months of the Coronavirus pandemic, as well as monitoring the financial situation for the charity itself as the network umbrella organisation. The trustees prepare detailed forecasts which cover a period extending two to three years into the future.
AMiE’s income is drawn from a broad base of churches (including AMiE churches and a wider group of supporter churches) and individuals. Income levels are monitored carefully, and, at the date of this report, there has been no noticeable reduction in giving during the pandemic.
The majority of the Mission’s costs are people, who all work from home, and have continued to be fully occupied in the Mission’s operations throughout the lockdown period. The trustees have not deemed it necessary to make use of the government’s job retention scheme or any other support interventions.

Commercial in confidence
## **Anglican Mission in England**
## **Trustees' Report - continued For the year ended 31 October 2021**
The Mission’s remaining costs are mainly travel and conferences. Much of AMiE’s activity has inevitably shifted from physical interaction to online interaction during the pandemic. This has immediately reduced travel, and therefore there has been a reduction in travel costs for the year to 31 October 2021 and beyond. In addition, conference plans have and will continue to be curtailed, with a resultant reduction in both income and expenditure, although the net impact is a reduction in costs, as conferences only break even with some giving support.
Overall, therefore, the trustees’ current expectation is that, in the year to 31 October 2021, the pandemic is likely to have a slightly net positive effect on the Mission’s financial position. Although there is ongoing uncertainty in the medium to longer term, depending on the UK’s wider economic position, the Mission has committed financial supporters who could be called upon to assist, should that be necessary. On this basis the trustees are of the view that it is appropriate for the accounts to be prepared on a going concern basis, considering a period extending forward 12 months from the date of this report.
## **Plans for future years**
AMiE will continue to fulfil its objects as described above, by God’s grace pursuing ongoing growth in the number of AMiE Churches and, specifically, planting churches and training gospel ministers. There are a number of people actively engaging with the Executive Team about the possibility of planting new AMiE Churches, getting ordained or bringing an existing local church into the AMiE network.
The Board is keen to have clear targets for new churches planted so that, under God, the Executive Team can strive purposefully to achieve these in a structured approach to a pipeline of activity. All this will require substantial funding.
Centrally, AMiE will continue to support its local churches, for example by providing policies and advice on church planting, safeguarding, financial and HR matters.
The trustees are satisfied that the Mission has been appropriately structured to support its current activities. However, as noted above, the Board and representatives of GAFCON have been working actively to establish AMiE within the structures of the global Anglican communion, and significant developments in this area will follow during 2021.
## **Financial Review**
The net increase in unrestricted funds in the year was £7,925 (2020: net decrease of £5,426), representing net income of £7,925 (2020: net expenditure of £7,370) and no transfers from restricted funds (2020: transfer from restricted funds of £1,944).
At the year end, unrestricted fund reserves were £19,665 (2020: £11,740), and restricted fund reserves were £29,570 (2020: £20,167).
Along with a number of individuals and trusts, during the year AMiE Churches and AMiE Supporting Churches were the main source of funds for the Mission’s ongoing activities. As noted above, AMiE’s ambitious growth goals will require substantial funding.

AMIE 7u?1 RepDrt and Unaudyted FinJncialStaiemeiits- Year ended 31 Octob2r 20ZI
**Anglican Mission in England**
## **Notes to the accounts For the year ended 31 October 2021**
## **1 Accounting Policies**
## **(a) General**
Anglican Mission in England is a charitable company in the United Kingdom limited by guarantee and has no share capital. In the event that the charity is wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the charity. The
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)) (issued in October 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have taken advantage of the exemption to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows.
Anglican Mission in England meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to the accounts. The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and are rounded to the nearest £.
## **(b) Revenue recognition**
Income is recognised when the organisation has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income received in advance of an event is deferred until that event takes place.
## **(c) Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT**
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
Provisions for grants are made when the intention to make a grant has been communicated to the recipient but there is uncertainty as to the timing of the grant.
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
## **(d) Cash and cash equivalents**
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
## **(e) Trade debtors**
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
## **(f) Trade creditors**
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the charity does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

## **(g) Funds**
Unrestricted funds are donations and other income receivable or generated for the objects of the organisation without further specified purpose and are available as general funds.
Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the funder.
## **(h) Going concern**
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
