## **JOEL COMMUNITY SERVICES** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023**_ 

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023. 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's governing document, the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)". 

## **Objectives and activities** 

During the year, the trustees reviewed these objects and received permission from the Charity Commission to amend them as below: 

- The relief of poverty by provision of accommodation and other connected services for persons who are deemed refugees, homeless or in need of such assistance. 

- To provide, maintain and, if necessary, improve a mission room or parish room and connected services in connection with the ecclesiastical parish of St Peter, Norbiton for the purposes of divine service and the promotion of religion according to the Christian faith and also for other religious, social, scientific, literary or charitable purposes including meetings all calculated to be for the benefit of the inhabitants of the said parish. 

## **Activities** 

- Providing residential accommodation, community space, and other services to those in need. 

- Providing working accommodation for a local housing charity. 

## _Public benefit_ 

The board has taken due regard of the guidance on public benefit published by the charity commission in exercising its powers and duties. It is confident that the aims of the organisation and allocation of resources fully satisfy the public benefit requirements. 

## **Achievements and performance** 

## _Significant activities and achievements against objectives_ 

Throughout 2023 we continued to provide premises and accommodation in St Peter’s Church Hall for Kingston Churches Action on Homelessness (KCAH; a local charity for the homeless). This ensured that many needs of homeless people in the Kingston upon Thames area continued to be met by the professional services offered by KCAH. 

In addition, in another section of the Church Hall known as The Joel Centre, we provided temporary accommodation for a family in need of assistance. In October 2023, this family moved out and in accordance with our vision we were able to provide accommodation to four refugees who would otherwise have struggled to find local housing. These refugees were part of the community that attend St Peter’s Church, and by having them next to the church we were able to provide pastoral and practical support through St Peter’s church staff, volunteers, and KCAH staff. As part of that, we provided regular funding and opportunities for these and other Iranian refugees to cook together and show hospitality to others in the local community. 

To provide a home for refugees, who themselves have a heart for hospitality, has felt like a fulfilment of the Scripture we have been praying over the Joel Centre: “A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families, he leads out the prisoners with singing” (Psalm 68: 5-6). 

We also provided grant for the refurbishment of a community space in a parish room owned by St Peter’s Church. The work was carried out by refugees, and enabled outreach to the Cambridge Road Estate through the provision of a community café, food bank, and other services.

## **JOEL COMMUNITY SERVICES** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023**_ 

## **Financial review** 

## _Reserves policy_ 

Income was £117,716 as we continued to receive rent for the office space provided to KCAH which covers our new, lower, operating costs.   Total income included a one-off donation of £45,413 from Joel Community Trust, which the board decided to invest in a diversified deposit fund to generate additional investment income of £1,353. 

Costs were £80,673.  This included utility payments of  £10,932 as well as maintenance, repairs and equipment of £12,021, which have both increased significantly from previous year.. The mortgage rate continued to climb over the year, with loan interest and bank charges rising to £25,793 for the year, but loan repayments from the original redevelopment loan continued to be met. 

Our revised policy is to hold sufficient funds to cover six months of operating costs. This ensures that, in the event of a financial crisis, we can continue to meet our financial obligations. 

Total reserves are shown as £668,359. This largely comprises cash and investment to cover six months of operating costs, plus the net value of St Peter's Church Hall after repayment of loans. 

## **Risk Review** 

The board assesses and reviews key risks periodically. During 2024 we will reassess our risks but the key risks are as follows: 

## _Funding_ 

We have a dependency on income from our main tenant (KCAH).  On the other hand, we are also exposed to the rising mortgage rate on our loan. 

## _Damage to reputation_ 

We are associated with KCAH as the principal user of St Peter's Church Hall.  We meet with them from time to time to discuss matters of mutual interest. 

## _Risk of fire, flood or other environmental risks_ 

We maintain appropriate levels of insurance and have reviewed the full requirements with our insurers. 

## **Structure, governance and management** 

Joel Community Services was incorporated as a charitable company limited by guarantee on 21 July 2014 and is governed by its Articles of Association. It is registered with the Charity Commission in England and Wales with its registered office at St Peter's Church, London Road, Kingston Surrey. 

The trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were: 

Reverend H Foxwood Mr C Clarke Mr P F Wolff Mr D Parish Ms G Burgess R Miller Reverend N Jones 

(Appointed 13 September 2023)

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT (INCLUDING DIRECTORS' REPORT) (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023**_ 

## _Recruitment and appointment of trustees_ 

## **Governance** 

Our Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the strategy and performance of Joel Community Services. The Board meets regularly throughout the year to consider, set and review strategies, policies, budgets, plans and performance. 

The Board has not delegated any powers to formal committees, although specific task groups are formed as necessary with specific responsibilities. 

## **Recruitment** 

Prospective directors are nominated by at least one current member of the Board in line with our Articles and with knowledge of the ways in which their experience might serve the interests of Joel Community Services. They are then interviewed by a panel of current directors to ensure that their motivations, skills and interests are consistent with the aims of the charity and, if so, to confirm the appointment. 

Trustees new to the Board meet with the Chairman and other directors as appropriate and are provided with information and training to enable them to fully understand the mission and values of Joel Community Services. 

All of the trustees are members of the company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up. 

## **Management** 

The board manages the needs of the organisation directly, with some support from St Peter's Church staff. 

The trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

## **Charity information** 

Joel Community Services is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is St Peter's Church, London Road, Kingston Upon Thames, KT2 6QL. 

## **1.1 Accounting convention** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's governing document,  the Companies Act 2006 and "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a Statement of Cash Flows. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. 

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below. 

## **1.2 Going concern** 

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. 

## **1.3 Charitable funds** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives. 

Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the accounts. 

Endowment funds are subject to specific conditions by donors that the capital must be maintained by the charity. 

## **1.4 Income** 

Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received. 

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation. 

Legacies are recognised on receipt or otherwise if the charity has been notified of an impending distribution, the amount is known, and receipt is expected. If the amount is not known, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset. 

Grants are recognised once the charity has been notified of the grant unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount.

## **NOTES TO THE  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)** _**FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023**_ 

## **1 Accounting policies** 

**(Continued)** 

## **1.5 Expenditure** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. 

## **1.6 Tangible fixed assets** 

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. 

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases: 

Freehold land and buildings 2% straight line Fixtures and equipment 25% straight line 

Assets in the course of construction are not depreciated. 

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities. 

## **1.7 Fixed asset investments** 

Fixed asset investments are initially measured at transaction price excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date.  Changes in fair value are recognised in net income/(expenditure) for the year. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred. 

## **1.8 Impairment of fixed assets** 

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). 

## **1.9 Cash and cash equivalents** 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. 

## **1.10 Financial instruments** 

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. 

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. 

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. 

## _**Basic financial assets**_ 

Basic financial assets are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

## **1 Accounting policies** 

**(Continued)** 

## _**Basic financial liabilities**_ 

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price and subsequently measured at their settlement value. 

## _**Derecognition of financial liabilities**_ 

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. 

## **1.11 Employee benefits** 

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received. 

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits. 

## **1.12 Redundancy costs** 

Redundancy costs are recognised when the Charity is committed to terminate employment. 

## **2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements** 

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
