ROSE LANE GOSPEL HALL TRUST 

Trustees' Report for the Year Ended 5 April 2025 

The Trustees present their report along with the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 5 April 2025. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on page 10-14 and comply with the Trust Deed and applicable law. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

The Trust has the following charitable purposes: 

The charitable purposes of the Charity are the advancement of the Christian religion for the public benefit, including by the carrying on of the service of God in accordance with the Old and New Testaments of the Holy Bible as followed by those Christians forming part of the world-wide fellowship known as the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church (the "Brethren") and any other charitable purposes connected with Brethren. The core doctrine of the Brethren and proper practices in furtherance of certain aspects of doctrine are summarised in two schedules to the Trust Deed. 

## **Significant activities** 

The Trust provides and maintains gospel halls where religious meetings are held by the local Brethren community.  Details of the origins, teachings and way of life of the Brethren can be found on the website www.plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch.org  and in the schedules to the Trust Deed. 

Meetings held at these gospel halls include the Lord's Supper (Communion), Gospel preachings, Bible readings and Bible addresses. 

## **Meetings** 

Meetings held at the Gospel halls would normally include the Lord's Supper (Communion), Gospel preachings, Bible readings and Bible addresses. There is a structured weekly schedule of meetings held in one or more of the gospel halls, and depending on the particular meeting, between 30 and 600 people normally attend these occasions. 

The meetings are attended by the regular congregation and most are open to other properly disposed visitors. The notice board outside the Hall welcomes visitors and displays the times of Gospel preachings, along with  a telephone number for those seeking further information or help. Gospel tracts, which are distributed by street preachers, also display this information. 

Bibles and an extensive range of other Christian reading material are on display at the hall] and visitors are free to help themselves. 

## **Spreading the Gospel Message** 

The Gospel Halls are a base from which the regular congregation and others who attend the meetings are encouraged to spread the Christian Gospel, in word and deed. 

Members of the congregation participate in a programme of street preaching and Gospel tracts are provided free of charge by the Charity to such preachers to be handed out to interested members of the public. 

In addition to street preaching, the trust also keeps in contact with other institutions to provide gospel tracts and bibles as required. The Trust also operates a programme of providing regular packs of nutritious food and gospel literature to homeless and needy persons through local charities or homeless societies. 

## **Public benefit** 

The trustees of The Rose Lane Gospel Hall Trust confirm that they have complied with their duty under section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s general guidance to charities on public benefit.

Trustees' Report for the Year Ended 5 April 2025 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES The life of a Christian** 

In carrying out this work, the congregation considers itself to be living out its faith in practice, as particularly exemplified in the following extract from the schedule to the Trust Deed on living a Christian life: 

1. We seek and are encouraged to live exemplary lives in all our relationships with others in the wider community (including former Brethren), in accordance with the teachings of Holy Scripture (1 Tim 2:2) 

2. We regularly go out from our homes to preach on the streets, to distribute Christian literature and engage with the wider community (including former Brethren) in order to present eternal salvation, available to all men by faith in Jesus Christ. (2 Tim 4:2). 

3. We seek as members of the public to lead Christian lives as husbands and wives, parents, children, employers, employees and neighbours. (Col 3:22-25, Col 4:1). 

4. The preservation and protection of the family unit is fundamental and children are prized as a blessing from God. (Psalm 127:3-5). The elderly are valued members of the community, for whom both their family and the wider community are expected to care. 

5. Holy Scripture commands us to be good neighbours to others, and deal with all other people (including former Brethren) openly, honestly and fairly and consistent with these principles, we should give our time, talents and money to assist those in need in the wider community, in so far as reasonable given our abilities and our available resources. (Matt 7:12, Matt 22:39, Eph 4:28). 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

## **Gospel tracts and literature available from the Gospel Hall** 

The Trust maintains a stock and display of gospel tracts, literature and Bibles in the foyer of our main Gospel Hall and this fact is advertised on the sign board at the street entrance. Tracts were distributed during the year. 

## **Street preachings and Gospel tract distribution** 

We have maintained regular open air preachings in the market square of Biggleswade town on Saturdays and weekdays. 

## **Distribution of Food Boxes** 

Food boxes were given to needy charities during the year. 

## **Supporting the Rapid Relief Team charity** 

The Rapid Relief Team charity, a separate charity, has a local team in Biggleswade made up from our congregation members. 

Our main hall is used to store some essential provisions and equipment that would be required if RRT are requested to support the emergency services working at an incident nearby. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

In the year ended 5 April 2025, the Trust had a surplus of incoming resources over resources expended amounting to £1,161,178. 

Total voluntary income received this year was £1,307,268 compared to £201,614 in the previous year. 

The Trust received donations amounting to £1,038,000 from other Gospel Hall Trusts during the year. 

All funds held were unrestricted funds. 

## **Principal funding sources** 

Page 3 



ROSE LANE GOSPEL HALL TRUST 

Trustees' Report for the Year Ended 5 April 2025 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

Funding is sought through gifts from the congregation and Gift Aid is claimed on eligible donations. Funding is sometimes received from other charitable trusts with complementary objectives. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The Trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the charity's needs, based on its size and the level of its financial commitments. The Trust has no employees and its regular outgoings are minimal. Accordingly, the Trustees have decided to adopt a policy of maintaining sufficient reserves to provide for the ongoing maintenance of the halls and put aside for the consumption of the assets and their facilities over time. The congregation is kept regularly informed as to particular needs for funds, and other relevant matters and the Trustees aim to ensure that the Charity will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure, by raising a funds appeal to the congregation. 

Free reserves, consisting of current assets less current liabilities, at the year end were £1,619,736 [2024: £82,185]. 

## **FUTURE PLANS FOR 2025-26** 

Our willing team of volunteers will continue to look for opportunities to offer practical support to local charities. 

The Trust  will continue to promote the preaching of the gospel in public spaces. 

Regular giving of financial support to charities aligned with our purpose will also continue. 

We will be open to new suggestions from members of the congregation which we will review and put forward for approval at one of the regular trustee meetings. 

Despite the increased cost of energy, the trustees feel that these increased costs are not significantly impacting on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity. 

The Rose Lane Gospel Hall Trust is constituted by a Deed of Trust dated 5th May 1982, amended by various Deeds and most recently by Deed of Variation dated 15th August 2014. The Trust was registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales on 6th November 2014 under Charity Registration Number: 1159094. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

The Trustees who have served during the Period and since the Period end are set out on the General Information page. None of the Trustees, nor any person connected with them, received any remuneration or expenses from the Charity in the year ended 5 April 2025 (2024 £nil). 

The Trust operates five Gospel halls and Trustees are chosen from among the regular congregation of the halls. New Trustees are nominated by the existing Trustees or by the congregation and must be appointed by unanimous resolution of the congregation. They are selected according to their skills and experience and are expected to use both in furthering the objects of the Charity. Checks are made to ensure the Trustees' eligibility to act and incoming Trustees are made aware of their responsibilities by the existing Trustees, who ensure that new Trustees read the Trust Deed and relevant Charity Commission guidance. 

## **Induction and training of new trustees** 

Incoming Trustees are made fully aware of their responsibilities by the existing Trustees who ensure that new Trustees read the Trust Deed and the relevant guidance for trustees published by the Charity Commission.

ROSE LANE GOSPEL HALL TRUST 

Trustees' Report for the Year Ended 5 April 2025 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Wider network** 

The Trustees maintain informal links with similar charities with a view to pooling experience considered useful in pursuing the objects of the Charity. 

The Charity also maintains particular links with Mays Lane Gospel Hall Trust and Bedford Gospel Hall Trust, with which it shares members of its congregation. 

## **Risk management** 

The Trustees have identified and reviewed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and confirm that they have established systems or procedures to manage and mitigate those risks. 

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). 

Under charity law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures 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 which 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 and The Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

All transactions have been reviewed and approved by at least two trustees.’

ROSE LANE GOSPEL HALL TRUST 

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 5 April 2025 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by 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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

## **Income** 

Donations are recognised in the year in which there is entitlement and probability of receipt and the amount can be measured with reasonable certainty. Income is only deferred when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor has specified that the income is to be expended in a future year.  Gift aid is added to the value of the donation to which it relates. 

Donated services are recognised as income and expenditure in the financial statements when organisations or individuals offer their services and support pro bono. The value of these donated services to The Rose Lane Gospel Hall Trust is considered to be equal to market value which would be paid were the service formally procured. This includes services paid for by other trusts. 

Investment income is accounted for on a receivable basis. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

## **Governance and support costs** 

Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support costs. Governance costs comprise all costs involving the public accountability of the charity and costs related to statutory requirements. Governance and support costs are allocated to charitable activities on the basis of costs incurred. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

|Freehold property|-|not provided and At varying rates on cost|
|---|---|---|
|Improvements to property|-|20% on cost|
|Plant and Equipment|-|25% on reducing balance|



During the year ended 05.04.2022 the Trustees reviewed the policy for the provision for the depreciation or consumption of the gospel hall buildings, and changed it from 50 years to 25 years. This was to reflect the likelihood that the halls could need substantial alterations in future to keep them up to date with technological and environmental needs in a fast changing society. Fifty years was felt to be too long a time span.  The policy was backdated to its inception. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.
