TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 JULY 2021

The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements of the charity for the period ended 31 July 2021. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity’s trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance the with Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland published on 16 July 2014.

Objectivities and Activities for the Public Benefit

The charitable constitution was adopted 7 June 2015 and charitable status for the Church was granted 12 November 2015.

The objectives of the Church are for the benefit of the public

the advancement of the Christian Faith
to relieve sickness and financial hardship and to promote and preserve good health by the provision of funds, goods or services of any kind including the provision of counselling and support in such parts of the UK or the world as the Church Council from time to time think fit
the advancement of education in such ways and in such parts of the UK or the world as the Church Council from time to time may think fit

Review of Achievements

Over the course of the financial year Gallery Church has developed and grown to provide online support for the community and the wider church in the UK.

Also when able to the Church has provided physical support, marriage prep courses, one to one wellbeing support, with many people being cared for and strengthened through the Gallery Church’s activity.

Pastor Andy has reduced his hours. What we lose from Pastor Andy’s hours we hope to gain in a more volunteer based community and the releasing of other peoples gifts and talents.

Financial Review

Gallery Church has just about weathered the Covid-19 storm and managed to keep going financially.

Over the financial year the Church lost a significant percentage of givers and this will be a challenge moving into the new year to try and recover them and access other donations.

The trends are deficits, so action and attention will be needed over the next year. Pastor Andy’s reduced hours has helped our financial situation.

Reserves Policy

Gallery Church continues to hold 6 months running costs in reserves in line with the expectations of a registered charity.

Plans for the Future

We have moved across Birmingham to a large industrial venue, previously used by Freedom Church. It’s a temporary option but we found it prudent to make the move as it’s big enough for growth and people to meet confidently in the light of the recent pandemic. We’ll see how it works for the Church and foster a relationship with the landlord and look to move forward from there. We’re looking to reach the new communities we find ourselves in, looking to meet the spiritual, emotional and physical needs of the Jewellery Quarter and Newtown.

The Trustees during the period and at the period end were:

A Waddams Mrs K Harris I Harris L Tonge J White

All Trustees were appointed under the terms of the constitution in line with the Assemblies of God UK.

As of the summer 2021, James White stepped down from 10 years of serving as a trustee at Gallery Church. Ian and Kerry Harris will also be leaving Gallery Church in February 2022.

Trustees' responsibilities statement

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP 2015
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the period ended 31 July 2021 which are set out on pages 5 to 7.

Responsibilities and basis of report

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