THE GLOBE CHURCH

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021

The Trustees have pleasure in submitting their Annual Report, and the financial statements for the year to 30 June 2021, which have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102), and the Charities Act 2011. The church is a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) and is governed by its constitution. It was registered with the Charity Commission on 28 January 2015.

Objectives and activities

The Globe Church was founded in January 2015 with the express intention of advancing the Christian faith particularly but not exclusively to the inhabitants of the area known as The South Bank and the London Borough of Southwark, as well as other charitable purposes consistent with the primary aim of the charity. In pursuing these aims, the Trustees sought to comply with and follow the Charity Commission guidelines on public benefit.

During the ongoing Covid pandemic effects and intermittent Government restrictions on gathering of churches, The Globe Church held a Sunday meeting whenever permitted at their offices at 140 Borough High Street London SE1 until vacating the property at the end of January 2021. After this and through to June 2021 Sunday meetings took place at St Marks Church Kennington and East Street Baptist Church Walworth. Throughout the year in question the church simultaneously broadcast its services onYou TubeTV Channel. Other midweek meetings took place at 140 Borough High Street London SE1 for a time of worship, prayer and teaching. The partnership with London City Missions homeless ministry at Webber Street Hostel London SE1 continued as able and permitted.

Achievements and performance

During the year along with all other church congregations, the Covid pandemic made it hard to compute exactly the Sunday congregation but our best estimate of in person attendance and online viewing puts the figure at an average of 220 people. Two Ministry Trainees served a year in the church and the church supported the 6 month overseas involvement of Miss Anais Hostie in humanitarian work in Nigeria as well as the patrial support of Philip and Vicki Tinker and family with Overseas Missionary Fellowship in Vietnam. In January 2012 Hannah Connor was appointed as part time Church manager. The Church has continued to play its part in The Fellowship of Evangelical Churches (FIEC) and the Co-Mission network.

Reference and administrative details

The legal and administrative details required by law are set out on page 1 and form part of this report.

Financial Review

The giving of the congregation has meant that the church was almost financially self-sufficient by the end of the financial year, aided by the decrease in rental costs for venue hire. Through the continued generosity of churches, supporters and the congregation, the Globe Church had free reserves (unrestricted reserves not invested in fixed assets) of £268,248 by the end of June 2021. These reserves mean that a minimum of 6 month`s expenditure of salaries and premises rental costs were in hand.

Structure and management

Page 2

The Globe Church is registered as a CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organisation) with the Charity Commission and has a Constitution and Church Rules. The ongoing ministries of the church are directed and overseen by five Elders who are also Trustees, namely Jonty Allcock (Pastor), Trevor Archer, Stephen Fletcher, David Sharpe and Jonathan Miller.

THE GLOBE CHURCH

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021 (continued)

Structure and management (continued)

Trustees are appointed by a vote of approval by the church membership on recommendation of the existing trustees. The membership are free to suggest potential names of new trustees.

Future developments

Plans are in place to appoint Mr Mike Sohn as Pastor of Ministry Development in August 2021 and Miss Adriana Kerkstra on a one year contract in September 2021 as a Church Ministry Worker when Mr Eyoael Mesay will also continue in a second and final year as a Ministry Trainee. The Church will also continue to explore renting or purchase options in the locality for Sunday meeting venues and weekday offices.

Trustees’ Responsibilities

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with the applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. Company law 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 surplus or deficit of the charity for that year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or other irregularities.

This report was approved by the trustees on 10 March 2022.

Signed on behalf of the trustees Trevor Archer

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT

THE GLOBE CHURCH

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of The Globe Church

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Globe Church for the year ended 30 June 2021 set out on pages 5 to 11.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees 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 as carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

Since the Trust’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I 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 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 Report) 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; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles 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 the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)

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.

THE GLOBE CHURCH NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30TH JUNE 2021

1 Accounting policies

(a) Basis of preparation

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102), and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements are drawn up on the historical cost basis of accounting.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. The Globe Church meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. There are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue in operation.

(b) Income

Income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be reliably measured. Income tax recoverable on Gift Aid donations is recognised when the income is recognised. Grants received for expenditure that must take place in future periods are deferred until the expenditure occurs.

(c) Expenditure

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 reliably measured. All expenditure is accounted for inclusive of any VAT which cannot be recovered. Charitable expenditure includes the cost of activities undertaken to further the purposes of the charity.

(d) Fixed assets and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives as follows: PA & IT equipment 25% straight line.

(e) Debtors

Debtors are included at the settlement amount due. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid.

(f) Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of opening of the deposit.

(g) Creditors

Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation arising from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors are recognised at their settlement amount.

(h) Deferred income

Income that has been received but not yet earned is treated as deferred income.

(i) Financial instruments

Page 9

The charity only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

(j) Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are income resources receivable without further specific purposes and are available for general purposes to be used at the discretion of the Trustees.

Special collections were taken for the "Growing young disciples" project as well as a mission trip to Vietnam and relief of poverty work in Uganda.

Contributions to staff costs and ministry trainees comprise gifts received towards certain costs and are drawn down to meet expenditure as the need arises. The transfer last year was made to meet the deficit on these funds, not expected to be covered by future income.

Grants and individual gifts were received for Hope Church Vauxhall church plant.

The Welfare fund was created in 2020 for Covid-19 crisis response.
