REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2020

The Trustees have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts for the year ended 30 September 2020.

Objects of the charity

The charity, which is a church, is governed by a constitution and is constituted as a charitable incorporated organisation. The charity's principal objects, as set out in its governing document, are to demonstrate the Christian faith in action by acting as a church to advance the Christian faith in Manchester and other parts of the world as the trustees see fit.

Our history

Community Vineyard Manchester began in November 2013 when Julie and Ross Payne, Children’s Pastor and Assistant Pastor respectively at Woking Vineyard, responded to a call of God and, following the approval of Vineyard UKIR, announced their intentions to move to Manchester and plant a new Vineyard church.

In August 2014 Julie and Ross moved their home to Prestwich in Greater Manchester and in September 2014 opened their home for the first Community Vineyard Manchester (CVM) Sunday celebration which was attended by 5 adults and 2 children.

In February 2015 CVM’s growth outstripped the confines of Julie and Ross’s home and CVM’s Sunday celebrations moved to the Phoenix Centre is St. Mary’s Park, which is a youth outreach centre overseen by the Prestwich Methodist Youth Association. This remains our venue for our Sunday gatherings and has provided the physical infrastructure as our growth has continued in Kidzone (1-10), Youthzone (11-16), and Adultzone (16+), Kidzone and Youthzone being facilitated by DBS checked and safeguard trained adults.

Summary of the charity's main activities and achievements

Looking back over the past year we have witnessed:

1. Continued physical growth in attendance across all CVM events was witnessed, from Sunday Celebrations, weekly Small Groups, to community outreach and service events (until Covid-19 migrated our gatherings on-line).

2. CVM’s Crafts and Carols Christmas celebration was held at St. Monica’s RC High School with over £100 raised for Barnabus Manchester.

3. CVM continued to grow its asset base with items to facilitate its outreach, specifically in seeing the Kidstuff warehouse kit out completed to aid sorting, distribution and storage. CVM equally invested in a suite of modern A/V equipment to see our on-line gatherings hosted and streamed.

4. Teams from CVM attended Vineyard UK/IR’s National Leaders Conference (12).

5. Kidstuff continued to see growth in its referral volume from an increasingly diverse set of referring parties across the charitable, faith and social service sectors. Its migration to a new storage venue allowed us to continue socially distanced donations and referrals in line with the Government Covid 19secure guidelines. We equally continued to take steps to provide for more efficient storage through the purchase of additional racking and plastic IKEA crates.

6. CVM pivoted its gatherings on-line a week prior to the eventual first lockdown. We have since hosted a variety of on-line events, including weekly streams for both children and adults. Finally, this year has been yet another year of growth and blessing, blessings we looked to give away to the amazing Communities that surrounded us despite navigating to national lockdowns.

In planning the activities the Trustees have applied the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.

Financial review

During the year income increased by £8,000, to £55,200, and expenditure increased by £5,400, to £52,500. As a result the cash held by the charity increased by £2,700, to £4,800, of which all is unrestricted and can be used for any charitable purpose.

Reserves policy

The trustees have determined that the charity should aim to hold unrestricted cash of no less than £3,000 (which equates to about just under one months' of unrestricted expenditure) so that the charity could continue to operate should income and / or expenditure vary adversely. At the year end, the charity held unrestricted cash of £4,800 and the charity is complying with its reserves policy.

Governance

Responsibility for setting policy and for making operating decisions rest with the trustees who meet regularly to monitor the activities of the charity. New trustees are recruited and appointed by the existing trustees, by a majority vote.

Responsibilities of trustees

Charity law requires us as Trustees to prepare financial statements for each accounting year which record the receipts and payments of the charity for the year.

We are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable us to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011.

We also have a responsibility to safeguard the assets of the charity and to take reasonable steps to prevent fraud or any other irregularities.

Approval

This report was approved by the trustees and signed on their behalf by:

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES OF

COMMUNITY VINEYARD MANCHESTER

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Community Vineyard Manchester ('the charity') for the year ended 30 September 2020 on pages 5 to 7 following.

Responsibilities and basis of report

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

Independent examiner’s statement

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 accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; or

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