March 2012

All of our activities are aimed at the advancement of the Christian faith in
accordance with our basis of faith through Christian Worship, Teaching
and enlightening the public, Production of Christian literature, Missionary
Work, Raising awareness about the Christian faith, and other such
charitable purposes as shall, in the opinion of the elders, further the work
of the church.
We provide a place of Christian worship and education in Formby, both al
our premises and through a number of local groups held in people's
homes. and occasionally directly in the local community via open air and
one to one sessions. We hold a worship service al the church every
week. During this time we have a Sunday school for ages 2-11 and also
have Creche facilities available.
Summary of the main
activities undertaken for the
public benefit in relation to
these objects {include within
this section the statutory
declaration that trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit)
Out church feels very strongly that il has a responsibility and duly to a11
the 25,000 residents of Formby for Iheir spiritual and social welfare. All
our activities are therefore open to Ihe general public, who are most
welcome to attend. In our Sunday setvice we actively encourage
everybody who attends to fill out a connection card so we can follow up
with them and understand I help wilh their needs. We also try to engage
with out community as much as possible by street evangelism, and
providing a warm and welcoming environment for prayer and worship.
We provide lifts lo and from our services and events for Ihe elderly,
infirm, and disabled as required.
The Village Church Fomiby has been a CIO since 2015. The Trustees

Section D
Achievements and performance
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity
during the year
The Village Church Formby continues to be a key contributor within the
community of Formby as we fulfil our staled goals. Our weekly meetings
have continued to change and adapt as required by the people of the
community who attend. We still provide for All Age Services on weeks
where regular Sunday School is not held (usually monthly} and have
recently welcomed the older children (ages 12+1, previously in Sunday
School to remain part of the regular service.
As the children in the church have grown up we were forced lo end our
primary kid's club, however, this has resulted in an increased number of
youth eligible to attend youth activities, which we are now part of in
conjunction with other local churches. If the age range of the children
interested changes we remain ready lo restart kid's club or an allernalive
dependenl on volunteers and church facilities.
We have also Continued with regular weekly meetings in people's homes
as we seek lo include more of our regular Sunday altendees in our work.
This has seen an increase both in numbers and in commitment from
those in church as they seek lo share their lives together.
We continue to meet weekly for a prayer meeting, as well as regular
leadership and oversight meetings, including those of Elders, Trustees,
ministry teams, and planning teams.
We are still hampered in our growth by the constraints of our building
facilities and capacity. We continue in the search for suitable premises,
however know feasible options have arisen over the last year.
We have also faced the difficulty of continuing church business matters
following the loss of former treasurer and trustee Paul Lister. This has
resulted in Gary Wallis serving as interim treasurer until a permanent
replacemenl can be appointed. however, such a person has not been
identified over the last year. Having a church elder serve as treasurer is
not desirable, however, we wi51 continue in this way until an alternative
option becomes available.

Section E
Financial review
The Village Church Formby, formerly Formby Baptist Church, has been
blessed with a number of small bequests and good reserves from the
period whin it had no paid employees. Currently ils monthly expenditure
exceeds it's income, therefore we have set a minimum reserves level of
£20,000. As of 31103125 we have just less than double this amounl
available.
Brief statement of the
charity's policy on reserves
Details of any funds materially
in deficit
Further financial review details (Optional information}
An important issue lo report is that no gift aid has been claimed in this
year's reporting. This is due to the complex nature of accounting and the
fact that an inexperienced person has unexpectedly been forced lo lake
on the treasurer role, According to government guidelines gift aid can be
claimed up lo four years in arrears, whilst our unclaimed period is just
under 18 months.11 is hoped that in the coming months a claim can be
calculated and processed which will then appear in next years reports.
You may choose to include
additional information, where
relevant about..
the charity's principal
sources of funds (including
any fundraisingl.,
how expenditure has
supported the key objectives
of the charity,

objectives including any
