REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

The Board of Trustees present the following report for the year ended 30 September 2020.

STRUCTURE AND ORGANISATION

Organisation

The charitable organisation was set up on 01 May 1956 with excepted charitable status under a model trust deed dated 16 February 1953. The excepted status has now been revoked and the previous charity transferred to a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) set up on 02 April 2015 with registration number 1161166.

Trustee Appointments

The Pastor of the Church is ex-officio Chairperson of the Board of Charity Trustees, and his position is reviewed after two years of their first appointment, and then every four years after that. Bolton Brownlow Fold Church of the Nazarene appointed Pastor Jeremy Smith on 11 October 2017.

The remaining Trustees are elected annually by the members of the Bolton Brownlow Fold Church of the Nazarene at the annual general meeting held in February each year to take up post on the Sunday following the British Isles South District Church of the Nazarene Annual General Meeting held in March each year.

Governance and Wider Network

The Board of Trustees meets regularly, normally on a monthly basis, to consider the work and management of the church and assess and plan the financial and other aspects of the work and direction of the Charity.

The church/CIO is a member of the churches within the Church of the Nazarene British Isles South District (a Charitable Company Limited by Guarantee, Company No 7028764; Charity No 1133336), which in turn is a member of The Global Church of the Nazarene which has its headquarters at Church of the Nazarene, Global Ministry Centre, 17001 Prairie Star Parkway, Lenexa, Kansas, USA, 662

The CIO is governed by an approved governing constituting document drawn up by Anthony Collins, Charity Solicitors, Birmingham, and approved by the Charity Commission for England & Wales and HM Revenue & Customs. The governing document is based on the Manual of the Global Church of the Nazarene where UK law permits.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The risk management strategy of the church is in a continual process of formulation in response to the changing circumstances that could impact upon the work of the church.

The Board of Trustees, in considering this important task, take direction from ongoing discussions with members both internally and through meetings with the Church of the Nazarene British Isles South District and other advisers, adopting appropriate policies as required or as they become necessary to the ongoing work of the church.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves

The charity does not have a policy on reserves as the expenditure and work of the charity is reliant upon the ongoing support, tithes and offerings of the members and friends received at the weekly meetings. The Board of Trustees reviews on a monthly basis the anticipated income and expenditure for the next two to three months in order to ensure the ongoing work of the charity.

Due to the income of the charity the financial statements prepared are a statement of receipts and payments and a statement of assets and liabilities.

Financial Review of the Year

The charity has continued throughout the period to meet and tailor the expenditure it incurs to the income received.

This year it sold its old Manse and purchased another Manse near to the Church location and after much renovation and installing a new Gas Boiler, the property was rented out to provide an income for the church, and funds to bring the property up to good living standard.

The limit of the use of the Church building under Covid-19 and through the tithes, offerings and donations received. There is much more that the Board of Trustees would like to do, and we continue to explore these and the use of possible grants that may be available to enable these plans to become a reality.

During the last period we did receive a grant of £9,930 from the Covid-19 funding England, Community support grant. This grant enables the Church to implement community safety measures and provide resources to the community under lockdown.

The Community Garden has had a grant of £700.00 which is under construction, but due lockdown this work is still not completed. When completed this will aid the people in the community to find a place to reflect and contemplate during this time of Covid-19 lockdown. .

The receipts and payment account shows that there was a net increase in cash funds during the year of £ 2982.15 The Trustees continue to repair and improve the church building which is the centre for the work undertaken by the charity.

Plans for Future Periods

The Board of Trustees meets on a monthly basis to plan and look to the future of the charity.

We are in the process of installing double glazing in the manse.
Panning to extent the Church platform to accommodate musicians and singers safely on the platform and to allow the access and descent from the platform safe and sound, and at the same time remove all trailing wires out of the way.
Looking for finance and ways to build a conservatory on the side of the church to enhance the community Garden, and the children play area.
Planning to the future to cover the quadrant withing the Church building to create a community café which the Church and the community could gather during the weekdays, once the Covid-19 restriction are lifted and we are back to “Normal”.
