## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2023** 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 April 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives** 

The objects of the CIO are: 

- (A) To advance the Christian Faith for the benefit of the public in accordance with the Statement of Beliefs in such ways and in such parts of Tyneside, the United Kingdom or the World as the trustees from time to time may think fit. 

- (B) To relieve sickness and financial hardship and to promote and preserve good health by the provision of funds, goods or services of any kind, including through the provision of counselling and support in such parts of Tyneside, the United Kingdom or the World as the trustees from time to time may think fit. 

- (C) To promote the benefit of the inhabitants of Tyneside, Wearside, Northumberland and County Durham in the areas of community cohesion, health, education, recreation and leisure. To provide facilities in the interests of the above with the object of improving the conditions of life of the said inhabitants. 

## **Public benefit** 

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. The trustees have complied with their duty in Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 and have paid due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission regarding public benefit. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **COMMUNITY** 

## **Christmas and Easter** 

We had over 1000 people attend both our Christmas and Easter events, across our Wallsend and Marley Hill Communities. This was amazing to see and a testament to all of the hard work put in by volunteers across the church 

## **Refurbishments** 

In January, we undertook a massive building project with the renovation work on the main hall and side rooms at the Allen. The space has been modernised with a fully equipped kitchen and kids' spaces. Minor works such as painting also took place to freshen up the spaces at Marley Hill Community Centre. 

Special thanks go out to all those who contributed to the joining with the father fund to make all this work possible. We are excited to see how the new space will bless our community as we welcome them in.

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE - continued** 

## **Community Activities** 

During the summer we ran community Sundays which saw the church put on a variety of events, including: two Sunday BBQs, litter picks, walks, prayer meetings, tea and scones, picnics and chocolate giveaways. 

We've also had lots of other events throughout the year which included a men's beer tasting and BBQ night, tennis club, curry night, family swim party, gardening projects, craft events and live football. 

## **The Lamp and Noah's Ark** 

The Lamp Café at Marley Hill continues to go from strength to strength with lots of people coming each week as well as our Noah's Ark toddler groups that are such a blessing to the surrounding communities. 

During the winter we partnered with both Councils' warm spaces campaigns, inviting more people from the local community to use our spaces and enjoy a free hot drink. 

## **MISSION** 

## **Byker Pantry** 

The Byker Pantry nearly doubled the number of active members, from 119 to 214. Shoppers have saved over £20,000 on their household bills, purchasing a total of 46,018 items. 

The team have also helped members with grant and benefit applications, and consoled, rejoiced, prayed and shared Jesus's love with countless people during the year. 

## **Pop Up Pantry** 

It has been amazing to see this project, opening four pantries in the first twelve months. We have had over 560 members sign up to the pantries and we helped people save £20-£25k on their shopping. This project continues to grow as we continue to work with our partners to end food poverty in our region! 

## **Grassboots** 

The last financial year has seen the demand for our Grassboots project increase greatly. We've continued to grow and develop our space in Arden House to provide a wide range of footwear, clothing and baby items to those in need. 

We have worked with a range of referral partners from NHS community midwives, schools, social workers, other churches, refugee and asylum charities and many more to provide over 536 pairs of footwear and 1,852 items of clothing, sports equipment and baby/other items. 

With some funding secured and an exciting new partnership with Northumberland FA in place we have been able to increase the size of our team and begin to develop a new click and collect website to be launched in 2023.

**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2023** 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE - continued** 

## **FORMATION** 

## **Beloved** 

It was amazing to be able to host our in person Beloved conference, following two years online. We had brilliant speakers, extended times of worship, prophecy sessions and a marketplace full of art, clothing and craft. There were over 150 people in attendance and 450 views online for this event. We are looking forward to the next event on 1 July. 

## **Leadership Journey** 

In October 2022, the Lord inspired us to run the leadership essentials course which happens monthly, for those who are in leadership or aspiring to be leaders within the church. They have been a good opportunity to grow and develop some of the practical skills of leading in a church context. 

## **Dreaming the Impossible** 

The team took some of the youth to the Vineyard DTI conference in August. It was so exciting to see or youth experience the Holy Spirit in a fresh and new way as they gather together to workshop and praise Jesus. 

## **PRESENCE** 

Intimate worship, song-writing and creativity remain a focal point for our church. At the start of January 2023, we hosted our very first Vineyard Northern Songwriting and Creative Day with over 60 people from churches within our movement and other friends from across the North gathering together. Encouraged by our guest speaker Rich Dicas from KXC London, we worshipped, shared, prayed and celebrated creativity through workshops, songwriting sessions and seminars. 

## **Worship** 

This year we have been reminded of how important worship is in seeking and resting in the presence of God, bringing together His people and sharing songs of hope, particularly as we gather in this post-pandemic season. Our own home-grown songs have played a key role in this and we have been excited to hear that some of them are being sung in other churches and in homes across the world. 

## **Revive** 

Since the start of 2023 we have loved hosting monthly healing services at Revive as well as training in prophecy. 

## **MULTIPLICATION** 

## **South Shields** 

We were so excited to see Mike and Jo launch our next community in South Shields and it has been amazing to see so many people coming along. They have been running a family fun event and this has had up to 120 people from the community attend. The group continue to run many activities for the community and display Jesus's love for them as they grow. 

## **Newcomers** 

The church has continued to grow with the average weekly attendance of our morning services up by 19% in the last 12 months. Including Revive and South Shields, the weekly attendance has grown by 25%. Excluding Christmas and Easter, we have also had 340 first time visitors join us.

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE - continued** 

## **Baptisms** 

In February we had the absolute joy of baptising six of our children from both Marley Hill and Wallsend at The Allen. It was such a lovely day and so inspiring to see Jesus at work within these young people's lives. 

## **Life Groups and Ministries** 

It has been so exciting to see new leaders emerge and take on and lead new life groups and ministries. Over the course of the last year we have seen six new groups form looking to grow in relationship with one another and depth in relationship with God. We are excited to see how God use these groups to develop His plans and purposes in the years to come. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

The charity reported total incoming resources of £497,865 (2022 - £411,906) of which £108,552 (2022 - £81,522) was subject to restriction; resources expended amounted to £515,336 (2022 - £427,446) of which £108,552 (2022 - £112,100) was subject to restriction resulting in an overall net deficit of £17,471 (2022 - £15,540). 

At the balance sheet date, total funds amounted to £304,473 (2022 - £321,944), none of which was subject to restriction. The free reserves of the charity amounted to £89,352 (2022 - £136,955). 

## **Reserves policy** 

In 2022-23 (and earlier years) the charity had a policy of maintaining an unrestricted cash reserve equal to a minimum of three months essential expenditure. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a constitution and constitutes a charitable incorporated organisation. 

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

Trustees periodically review if there is a need for new trustees, taking into the skills, abilities and capacities of current trustees and the requirements of the charity. 

In accordance with our constitution, new trustees are nominated by the church's spiritual leadership (the senior pastors) and appointed by decision of the current trustees. 

Trustees are appointed for a five year term and may be re-appointed at the end of a term by decision of the remaining trustees. 

Where practicable new trustees are recruited from existing volunteer leaders within the church. Trustees will suggest potential appointees who will be contacted by the chair/senior pastor to discuss the role and their suitability, willingness and availability to become a trustee. The chair/senior pastor reports back to the other trustees and nominates individuals for consideration at a trustees' meeting. 

If there is a need for expertise that cannot be met from within Tyneside Vineyard, then trustees would look, in the first instance, to find suitable person(s) from within other churches affiliated to Vineyard Churches UK and Ireland.

**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2023** 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT - continued** 

## **Organisational structure** 

Trustees are responsible for the governance and overall management of the charity. They agree an annual budget, changes to staffing establishment, and key policies but implementation and day to day running is delegated to the Senior Pastors who in turn may delegate responsibility to other members of staff and volunteers. 

At present trustee decisions (except annual review of Senior Pastor performance and remuneration) are made collectively by all trustees (in a physical meeting or electronically in accordance with the constitution) and there is no formal delegation to individual trustees or trustee sub-groups, but this is kept under review as the charity grows in size and complexity. Individual trustees may be asked, based on their expertise and background, to monitor or develop particular areas of activity, typically in conjunction with a senior pastor or other senior member of staff and to bring any related proposals for change to the board of trustees. 

Annual review of Senior Pastor performance and remuneration is delegated to a sub-group of trustees, determined by the Trustees, but excluding any employee(s). 

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

New trustees are given a copy of the constitution, the latest annual report and accounts, the current budget plan and recent trustee minutes. They are advised of publications and documents for trustees available from The Charity Commission, and from Vineyard Churches UK and Ireland. 

They are welcomed to their first meeting and introduced to any trustees who they do not know and encouraged to take a full part in discussions. 

The Chair/Senior Pastor will meet with new trustees between trustee meetings to help ensure they have an understanding of any issues and to address any concerns or questions. 

## **Key management remuneration** 

Senior Pastor remuneration has been determined by trustees (excluding any employee) taking into account the responsibilities of the role and remuneration offered by other churches and similar sized charities. Changes are determined by a subgroup of the non-employee trustees (typically two) each year following an annual review of performance and in accordance with the general policy on pay changes for all staff agreed by trustees. 

Trustees have agreed a set of grade descriptors with associated pay ranges for other employees, which is reviewed annually, taking into account pay changes in the wider economy. Trustees (excluding any employees or connected persons) agree a general policy for pay changes each year, taking into account the needs and budget of the charity as well as pay changes in the wider economy. Following employee's annual performance reviews, any annual changes to each individual employee's pay is determined by senior pastor(s) in consultation with a delegated trustee and in accordance with the general policy agreed by trustees.

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the 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, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial 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, 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 Charity SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- 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, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. 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.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF TYNESIDE VINEYARD** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Tyneside Vineyard** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Tyneside Vineyard (the Trust) for the year ended 30 April 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
