REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

The Board of Trustees present the following report for the year ended 30 September 2021.

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 The excepted status has now been revoked and the previous charity transferred to a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) set up on 02 April 2015 with registration number 1161166.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 Revd. 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.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Charitable Objectives

The charity has the following objectives:

• a) The advancement of the Christian faith as part of the Global Church of the Nazarene and the Church of the Nazarene British Isles South District.

• b) To serve and enhance the local community.

Achievements and Activities

Since the report we have accomplished:

• New windows were put in the new Manse and the property was painted by the volunteers of the church.

• The property was then rented out through an agent on our behalf

• Continued support of struggling people in the community

• Extended the church platform to accommodate singers and musicians better

Review of the Period

• Continuation of weekly Christian worship meetings and promotion of the Christian faith in accordance with the principles of the Church of the Nazarene.

• Work with children and young people to promote the Christian faith and provide local social benefit.

• Continuation of weekly meetings for the more mature individuals in the local area.

• Continuing to develop links with the local community, enhance the involvement of the church with and relevant local agencies on behalf of the local community.

• Continue to partner with and make the church building available to relevant local agencies seeking to benefit the local community.

Page 6 of 22

• Weekly worship services conducted by the Pastor with assistance and input from the church members and guest speakers. A children’s Bible Story Club operates during part of the weekly service.

• Meetings held for children and young people for interaction and a safe environment to enable them to grow and develop spiritually, socially, and individually.

• Weekly meetings for spiritual and personal development, growth, and education.

• Partnering with local Community programmes.

• Involvement with the local schools.

• Provision of the building for community activities.

• Visitation of both members and others in the local community in times of need or by request.

• Availability for weddings and funerals and other services of significance

Achievements during the period

• Continued growth of the membership and attendance at the church and of their spiritual and personal development.

• Continued development of the social and educational opportunities and interaction with the local community through and with organisations that we partner with.

Volunteers

The work planned, activities undertaken, and achievements attained would not have been possible without the active involvement and hard work of all the members and friends of the charity without whom the substantial work of the charity could not be realised. The Board of Trustees is grateful for the work and support of all the members and friends of Bolton Brownlow Fold Church of The Nazarene.

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.

Plans for Future Periods

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

• To open an affordable café in the building for the community

• 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. This would enhance the building ability to be used in various ways for the future.
