2024 Beacon Evangelical Church Trustees Annual Report

## **Name**
**Office** (if any)
**Dates in office if not for the whole year**
Timothy Turner Pastor and Elder
Elaine Salmon Deacon and Secretary
Philip Evans Deacon and Treasurer Veronica Johnson Deacon
## **Structure and governance**
Beacon Evangelical Church is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation with voting members other than its charity trustees and is regulated by a constitution.
Trustees are elected by the members of the church and together constitute the “Leadership Team” of the church. Within the Leadership Team, there are Elders who are responsible for the spiritual and pastoral care of the members and Deacons who assist the Elders in their duties.
The trustees meet on a monthly basis to consider the spiritual and pastoral affairs of the church and on a quarterly basis to manage matters requiring financial and procedural decisions.
The church is a founder member of the Charity, Handsworth and District Christian Outreach also known as Hands Outstretched, a collaboration between local churches for the advancement of the Christian faith.
## **Objects**
The church’s objects, for the public benefit, are to advance the Christian faith in accordance with the Statement of Faith detailed in the church’s constitution.
To this end, the Leadership Team is committed to enabling the members of the church to communicate the Christian gospel with as many people as possible. This is understood to take place verbally and also by practical demonstration of God’s love through compassionate care for members of the community, the provision of services from the base of the church building on Sandwell Road and through the members’ lifestyle within the community.
In overseeing and developing the activities of the church, the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.

## **Activities**
The activities of the church are open to the public.
**Worship -** Our theme for 2024 was our ‘God of hope’.
The church holds one service of worship each Sunday. Members are encouraged to participate in running the service, building their faith and growing their confidence and skills. Our services were live streamed to YouTube during 2024. This has benefitted not just those who cannot leave their homes for reasons of health and vulnerability but has strengthened our connection with many people we might not otherwise have met.
## **Prayer**
The church meets regularly to pray as well as having a week of prayer in January and July, with meetings every evening. An Intercessors prayer group met weekly.
## **Bible Study**
The church provides Bible Study through weekly Fellowship Groups, one-off studies and by studying a theme or Bible book in the Sunday Service. In Sunday services during 2024 we have greatly benefitted from completing our study of Matthew’s Gospel, studying Galatians and began to study people of faith in the Bible.
## **Fellowship groups**
The church runs several small groups on weekday evenings for study of the Bible, to develop individual Christian faith and engage in community outreach. From time to time, groups run events to bring the community together and explain the Christian faith. At the end of 2024 there were four evening groups and a daytime group, including a new evening group for young adults.
## **Drop-in days**
With activities, free refreshments and lunch, these days help us welcome and get to know people from our community, especially those who are lonely, isolated or vulnerable in some way. It is a welcoming space with a listening ear. We help people to fill in forms, issue foodbank vouchers and have a ‘Dementia Café’, run by a Dementia UK ambassador. Representatives of the local DWP, Birmingham City Council’s Housing department, or health professionals are invited to visit to provide advice and information. We work with the local Prison Link charity, welcoming some of their service users on occasion, as well as residents at a local men’s hostel.
## **Children and young people**
- The church runs a **Sunday Club** for children from Year 1 to 11, teaching Bible knowledge and explaining the Christian faith. We also provide a creche during Sunday services.
- The **12+** group for young people in year 7 to mid-teens, meets fortnightly for games and topical study, once a month for a physical activity in the community, such as climbing, bowling etc.
- Our young people and children are encouraged to take part in ‘Family Services’ once a month and sometimes lead the whole service.
## **Food bank**
The church continued to support The Handsworth Food Bank, a Trussell Trust Food Bank based locally, providing funds, food and volunteers to staff the food bank.

## **Sisters of Strength Women’s group (SOS)**
Sisters of Strength is a women’s group which met several times during the year for an evening of worship, teaching and celebration.
## **Beacon Brothers Together**
Brothers Together is an informal group for men, which meets for meals and seeks to support men in the church and outside, in putting their faith into action. It also operates as a support network for men via social media. The group ran a Mother’s Day service in 2024.
## **Safe Families**
The church had one volunteer helping with the Safe Families charity during 2024.
## **Staffing and safeguarding**
In July 2024, the church employed a full time Community Development and Outreach Leader, to assist our vision to be more outward looking, to take the good news of Jesus to our community in word and compassionate action to help the most vulnerable.
**Full time Community Development & Outreach Leader recruited**
Apart from this role and one part-time
## **91**
**Volunteer hours per week = 2.4 full time workers**
cleaner, our activities are organised and staffed by volunteers. It was estimated that in 2024, on average, 91 volunteer hours per week were contributed, the equivalent to 2.4 full time workers.
The church’s safeguarding officer ensures that those working with children and vulnerable adults are selected, trained, checked and supervised in accordance with the church’s safeguarding policy.
## **Achievements and performance**
## **Advancement of the Christian Faith**
As explained above, the Object of the Church, for the public benefit, is to advance the Christian faith in accordance with the Statement of Faith. For many this might be seen simply as the provision of worship services, prayer and Christian teaching. However, our ethos recognises that the Christian faith encompasses all aspects of life, so that Christians share their faith both verbally but also by practical demonstration of God’s love through compassionate care for members of the community. This is demonstrated in the way we measure achievement and performance, as below, in accordance with the Church’s Objects.
## **Sunday Worship**
The church livestreamed 49 Sunday Services via YouTube, allowing members who are housebound, working shifts, sick or away, to remain connected and even take part through the YouTube messaging facility. Service videos remain available after the event, allowing new people to connect with us. Family members and people with past connections have also watched after the event.
**112**
**Adults attended Sunday Worship onsite or online**
Page 4 of 8
2024 Beacon Evangelical Church Trustees Annual Report
The number of adults attending Sunday Worship in person was 41, on average in 2024 (42 in 2023) but grew towards the end of the year to around 50. Around 13 others watched live (12 in 2023) and 58 watched afterwards (60 in 2023). Online numbers include host users who interact with those online.
The total number of people joining in with our Sunday Services in some way during 2024 averaged 112, compared to 114 in 2023.
This involved a huge amount of creativity, energy, volunteer hours and commitment from the Sunday Technical and Worship teams.
_Figure 1 – 2024 Hybrid Sunday worship attendance_
The church also conducted a baby dedication, a marriage blessing and 2 adult baptisms in 2024.
The 2020 pandemic left a legacy of people who had ceased to be active members but had not formally resigned. Ten of these were removed from membership in 2024. Nine new members were welcomed in 2024, giving a membership of seventy-two people at the end of 2024 (73 at the end of 2023). This has **9** been a healthy change giving us a much more active membership than **New** previously.
**9 New members in 2024**
## **Strengthening the Church**
Our new Community Development Leader implemented measures to strengthen the church and prepare the members for more active participation in community outreach. He initiated:
- A ‘Discipleship’ course to prepare people to volunteer for services provided to the community and the church. A group of 7 young adults completed their training in November and were ‘commissioned’ in December.
- A pastoral care network with leaders supporting 6 groups. 12 leaders were commissioned in December and meet from time to time for training and support.

## **Prayer & Bible Study**
In 2024 we have increased our prayer as a church. The monthly prayer meeting on a Friday now takes place every week. Bible study has also increased. In January/February we had four sessions, on Sunday evenings on the subject of, ‘What is the Gospel?’. This was repeated in seminar format in April, on a Saturday.
## **More prayer and Bible Study in 2024**
Our young adults followed a discipleship course in the autumn and have formed a new group which meets weekly.
## **Children and young people**
The total number of children and young people attending Sunday Club and other events increased a little during 2024, especially in the secondary age group. We have restarted a creche during our Sunday morning service and have several babies in attendance. Sunday Club enjoyed one of their sessions out in the community.
Our 12+ group grew in 2024 and can be attended by up to 14 children.
The youth and young adults had a successful weekend away at the end of the autumn half-term, at the Whitemoor Lakes Outdoor Activity Centre, near Lichfield.
One of our members ran a summer holiday club for children onsite, ‘Refocus for Kids’. It was mainly for non-church children and funded by Awards For All, through the Prison Link Charity.
SEND training was organised for all the volunteers and members from local churches attended.
## **The Beacon Centre Project**
This now incorporates both the **Beacon Centre Building Project** and our new **Beacon Community Project** .
The project team expanded from four to six members in 2024 adding much valuable experience and new skills.
The **Beacon Centre Building Project** aims to rebuild the premises in Sandwell Road to better facilitate our vision to serve the community and give more space for services of worship. The general vision includes expanding or providing for the first time some of the following services:
- counselling and support to address mental health needs
- facilities and support for parents with young children
- signposting and language learning to support incomers
- a place for young people to belong, learn and play
- a place for older people to socialise and obtain help

## **Three phases planned**
Our Architects helped us devise a structure for the building project, in three phases:
- Phase 1 Prepare - building some retaining walls, some excavation, and preparation of utility connections, along with fulfilling some of the essential planning conditions.
- Phase 2 Build the main two-storey part of the building at the front of the site whilst retaining and using the old building during the build.
- Phase 3 Demolish the old building and build the final part of the Beacon Centre in its place, whilst using the Phase 2 building for most activities.
We began Phase 1 in 2024 and fulfilled several planning conditions such as a ground drainage investigation, topographical and geo-technical surveys. Draft plans were created for new retaining walls on two sides of the site and a new manhole and drainage connections to the Severn Trent system. We plan to complete this phase in 2025.
## PHASE 1
**of our building project began**
## **Beacon Community Project**
This new project runs alongside the Building Project and incorporates our existing services – i.e. Drop-in days, Food Bank support, individual and family support, 25:35 fund and partnership with the Birmingham City Mission (BCM) for the Christmas Toylink project. This allows our Community Development Leader to focus on developing new community outreach services regardless of the status of the building project.
## **Drop-in Days**
In 2024 we expanded our monthly Community ‘drop-in day’ to be fortnightly, planning to make it weekly in Doubled 2025. It has continued to be popular, attracting 20 to 30 people, most of whom **The number of** we have never met before and who would **drop-in days** not have come to the church for a service. This is helping us learn about the needs and aspirations of our community as we look to develop the new Beacon Centre. Some of those who come to the Drop-in initially,
do visit services on a Sunday sometimes. We arranged a Summer trip to Stourport on Severn and invited the community to a special Caribbean Brunch.
## **General Community Support**
Week by week, the Church supported individuals and families in need with contact, food parcels, food bank vouchers, practical help (via our 25:35 fund), transport to appointments, assistance with forms, moving home or to helping to prevent people becoming homeless. We also
helped with shopping and contributions to gas and electricity needs. In December we distributed Christmas presents to 25 families via the BCM Toylink scheme. We continue to link with the local primary school by providing advice and practical help for parents and families.

## **Preparations for new Community Outreach in 2025**
In 2024 our Community Development Leader began preparations for several new projects and services planned for 2025. He also began recruiting volunteers for these projects. Plans were made for:
- A weekly seniors’ lunch club
- A CAP Job Club
- Partnership with Age UK to expand our Drop-in days to a weekly provision
- Community Chaplaincy to support newly released prisoners
- A children’s music school to proactively address mental health
- A potential partnership with local churches to run a Street Pastors Group
## **Financial Review**
A full statement of accounts has been prepared by Data Developments (UK) Ltd, First Floor, The Chubb Buildings, Fryer Street, Wolverhampton, WV1 1HT. Data Developments act as the church’s independent examiners.
Beacon Church’s principal source of funding is donations from members.
The church makes use of the gift aid scheme to claim tax on donations.
## **Policies and procedures**
Prior to 2024 the Church had policies for **Health and Safety** , **Data Protection and Safeguarding** .
In 2024 we added:
## **Reserves Policy:**
The Trustees agreed a new Reserves Policy in 2024, at a meeting on 07/05/2024, that the church’s reserve level be set at six months of the typical expenditure required to operate the church. This is calculated using a monthly average from the previous financial year.

## **Independent Examiner’s report to the trustees/members of Beacon Evangelical Church**
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2024 which are set out on the following pages.
## **Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Independent Examiner**
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility
- to examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a “true and fair” view, and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent Examiner's Statement**
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in any material respect:
- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act or
- the accounts do not accord with the with the accounting records
I 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.
