## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2021**
The Trustees have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts for the year ended 30 September 2021.
## **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.
From March 2020 to July 2021 CVM’s gathered environments moved on-line due to COVID-19 restrictions on in person gathered environment.
In September 2021 we resumed in person gathered environments at a new larger venue, Heaton Park Methodist, on Saturday afternoons. Heaton Park Methodist provides physical facilities for twice the number of people to gather in a COVID-19 compliant manner.
## **Summary of the charity's main activities and achievements**
Looking back over the past year we have witnessed:
1. Active participation in CVM’s on-line gathered environments continued as the CVM community navigated the various COVID-19 lockdowns.
2. CVM’s Crafts and Carols Christmas celebration migrated on-line and was attended by 45 youth and their families.
3. CVM continued to grow its asset base with items to facilitate its outreach activities, specifically items for the launch of CVM’s second compassion outreach Storehouse.
4. Storehouse launched, providing furniture and household items to families in need based on social service and other charitable organisation referrals.
5. CVM welcomed its first member of paid staff, 16 hours per week, to facilitate the continued growth of Kidstuff and the vital support it provides to the families it supports.
6. Following the lifting of English COVID-19 restrictions in late July, CVM was pleased to be able to work with Churches Together in providing a kids craft tent with free crafts at Prestwich’s Clough Day Celebrations. Over 125 crafts were given away.
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 £1,800, to £57,000, and expenditure increased by £4,000, to £56,500. As a result the cash held by the charity increased by £600, to £5,300, 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 just under one month 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 £5,300 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 2021 on pages 5 to 8 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’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 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 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
2. the accounts do not accord with the accounting records.
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.
