No. 1040807) from the effective date of 1 April 2016.
The General Register Office has made the necessary changes to its registers for the continuing church congregation to have the religious description and registration of marriages recorded as Emmanuel Church, Leamington Spa, CIO. The Church operates under the Church Worship number 76821 and Marriage number is 40582.
Governance
New trustees are elected to the role as part of their eldership responsibilities as set out in the Church’s Fellowship Guide and subject to the other provisions under clause 9 of the CIO’s Constitution.

Under the Constitution of the CIO and embodied in the Church's Fellowship Guide it was agreed that the elected Deacons of the Church who by virtue of their office were formerly trustees of the Charitable Trust (Reg. No. 1040807), and who still make a major contribution to the responsibilities of leadership within the Church and management of the Charity, should be identified as Associates of the Trustees of the CIO and attend the quarterly Trustees’ Meetings as nonvoting advisors to the Trustees. Those Associate Trustees/Deacons which include the Church Treasurer and GDPR Compliance Officer, serving in the period being reported were:

Review of activities
In planning the activities the Trustees have had regard to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission. However, the impact of the Covid 19 pandemic and Government lockdown Guidance, impacted all 'inperson' activity until July 2021, at which point these were progressively reinstated as in-person or "hybrid" (Zoom & inperson) from that point onwards.

Church Leadership: The Elders serving for the period of this Report are synonymous with the Trustees as listed above. Their role is the overall leadership of the Church. They are especially responsible for any gathering for worship on the Lord's Day and other occasions for prayer, fellowship and ministry. They have the solemn responsibility to ensure proper Church discipline according to the Biblical pattern. The Pastors are regarded as one of and one with the Elders. Pastors are elders who are recognised by the Church as those who have been especially called to the ministry of the Word.

TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Missionary support
The Church has a practice of setting aside 20% of its income for Christian missions distributed on the recommendation of a small Missions Team and approved by the Diaconate who report to the Trustees.
Their task is to ensure that the giving is targeted on those individuals and organisations that are compatible with the church’s statement of faith and the objects of its charitable status. A Missionary Information Board provides Members with background to the various missionary endeavours supported by the Church.
Approximately 50% of this annual sum is allocated to missions with whom the Church has a long-standing commitment and therefore wishes to give ‘regular support’. The remainder is applied to ‘ad hoc’ missions and Christian enterprises that have a specific identified need that accords with the Church’s wider missionary interests.
In addition, from time to time, specific ‘appeals’ are made for membership offerings over and above the 20% commitment to support Christian workers operating in a national or local crisis.
Occasionally folk are brought to the attention of the Church officers because of distressing and unexpected personal circumstances and they can be assisted ‘in confidence’ with financial or material support and the expenditure listed as ‘benevolence’.
Home fellowship groups
Up to nine geographically identified Home Fellowship Groups have continued to meet throughout the year by means of Zoom. The Elders regard Home Fellowship Groups as an important opportunity for Church Members to meet together for Christian fellowship, pastoral care and spiritual growth.
Property
The premises in Heath Terrace have been largely out of use throughout the pandemic restrictions and access to North Leamington School for Sunday morning worship was also cancelled throughout this period. The search for new premises or a building site where new church facilities could be built, has continued through the work of the Relocation Team. The possibility of realising the best value for the Heath Terrace site by working with a developer purchasing 4 Gulistan Road, was considered and explored through consultants and a 'Pre-App' meeting with the local planning authority. Sadly, the outcome reinforced and added restrictions imposed on the site and effectively reduced its potential sale value. The scheme had to be abandoned, and the informal judgements made by the planning authority diminishing the potential value of the property, now present a longer term impact on the Charity's resources to develop its work in new premises, as and when a suitable site is identified.
FUTURE PLANS AND OBJECTIVES
The growth and development of the Church and its activities are kept constantly under review by the Eldership, Diaconate and the various teams with responsibility for specific areas of work. Reports on previous activity and ongoing plans are reported by each group within the Church at the quarterly Membership Meetings and an Annual Report is published to the wider membership. Specific plans currently being developed include:
Ministry: -
The Pastoral team continues to work under great pressure to meet the demands of a growing membership and congregation. The Pastors are supported by a part-time Women’s Pastoral Worker and two part-time Administrators. James Midwinter and Matthew Seymour work together as Co-pastors, equal in responsibility and employment terms. The pastoral work and teaching ministry is driven by them together and the workload shared to reflect their respective strengths and abilities.
Growth: -
The Eldership meets regularly to prayerfully consider future needs and opportunities. This includes reviews of the membership and potential gifts that can be encouraged for leadership, existing and new ministries, and opportunities for new initiatives in Gospel outreach, home fellowship group effectiveness, and church planting possibilities. A process of reflection and consultation is currently underway around the workings of the home fellowship groups.
Mission: -
The Mission Team will continue to explore ways in which 20% of the church’s income can be effectively invested in home and overseas missions both for the propagation of the Gospel and to support practical needs of workers and those to whom they minister. This will be further extended by the taking of specific offerings to support local and international crises that fit within the objects of the charity as they occur from time to time.

TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Property: -
The Relocation Team’s search continues for suitable sites for Church development through discussions with local property agents, the Local Authority, builders, land owners and property developers to find an alternative solution.
Recognising the need for a major capital investment, the Development and Relocation Fund has been established and is gradually building, through members one-off gifts and regular giving as can be seen from the attached financial statements.
Financial review
Unrestricted income for the year ended 31 March 2022 was £282,163 (2021: £248,314) and income for the restricted funds was £26,458 (2021: £32,415). Total income was £308,621 (2021: £280,728), which includes gift aid tax recovery of £49,820 (2021: £49,150).
Expenditure for the year excluding expenditure from restricted funds amounted to £268,489 (2021: £204,897) the principal items being ministerial costs, missionary support, various evangelistic activities and maintenance of the church premises. The excess of unrestricted income over expenditure was £13,673 (2021: £43,416).
At 31 March 2022 the restricted development and relocation fund amounted to £621,837 (2021: £600,381).
At 31 March 2022, unrestricted cash in bank accounts amounted to £148,801 (2021: £132,743). The Trustees continue to consider the most appropriate use of these funds in the furthering of the Trust's objectives.
For the financial year ending 31 March 2023, the Trustees have established a manageable but challenging budget, bearing in mind the uncertainty over income and expenditure with the prevailing cost of living crisis. The membership has been encouraged to increase giving to ensure the funds ‘break even’ by the end of the financial year but the Deacons will monitor income and expenditure against budget on a monthly basis. The Trustees have also established a prioritised list of minor capital expenditure items that will only be procured when the additional resources are available. The Training Fund, established in the previous financial year, has been used to support Andy Kight through his first year at London Seminary and has continued through the 2021-22 academic year.
The trustees have recognised that the overall impact of the pandemic on income and expediture has meant an operating surplus this year. It is aware that the changing economic environment will impact the church finances differently in the year ahead. Steps continue to be taken to encourage greater commitment to giving through monthly standing orders and online banking services.
Reserves policy
The Trustees have reviewed their Reserves Policy in the light of changing salary and other outgoing commitments and recalculated a nominal sum of £67,000. This would include:
-
Outstanding accounts for contracts, suppliers and services
-
Salaries/stipends for officers and employees to cover all contractual notice periods and redundancy payments
-
PAYE and Pension Fund liabilities
-
Ongoing commitments to regular missionary giving and external agencies
-
Accountancy and legal fees

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Risk statement
As a Christian Church the Officers try to be faithful in committing all developments, decisions and issues of Church life to the guidance and providence of God. Nonetheless, in accordance with the requirements of the SORP, the Officers of the Church have developed a document which identifies the major risks to which the charity is thought to be exposed and instigated appropriate measures to mitigate those risks. Particular attention has been given to developing clear policies and training programmes to ensure compliance in Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults, Food Hygiene, and the implications of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995. Preparation of budgets followed by careful monitoring through monthly management accounts by the Deacons ensures sufficient resources in the event of adverse financial conditions. A designated Development Fund manages the funds set aside for this specific purpose. A Reserves Policy identifies the financial needs of the Trust in the event of a financial crisis and this is kept under annual review to ensure that it matches the changing needs of the Church.
Trustees' responsibilities
Charity law requires us as Trustees to prepare financial statements for each accounting year which give a true and fair view of the state of the charity and of its income and expenditure for the year.
We are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
-
State whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts.
-
Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
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 and follow the principles in the new edition of the Charity Governance Code.
We also have a responsibility to safeguard the assets of the charity and to take reasonable steps to prevent fraud or any other irregularities.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
1 Statutory Information
The charity is a charitable incorporated organisation registered with the Charity Commission in England & Wales. The charity's registered number and principal address can be found on the Charity Information page.
2 Accounting Policies
These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the "Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) ("the Charities SORP"), with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102") and with the Charities Act 2011. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as set out in FRS 102.
The Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 (the '2008 Regulations') requires charities to prepare their accounts in accordance with 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005' but this accounting standard has since been withdrawn and has been replaced by the Charities SORP mentioned in the preceding paragraph. The charity has prepared these financial statements in accordance with the new Charities SORP; this departure from the 2008 Regulations is believed to be necessary for these financial statements to give a 'true and fair view'.
The principles adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.
a) Going concern
The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular the trustees have considered the charity's forecasts and projections and the possible implications should projected income and / or expenditure vary unexpectedly. The trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
b) Income
Income including investment income is recognised in the period in which the charity becomes entitled to receipt, the amount receivable can be measured with reasonable certainty, and receipt is probable. For the most part, income is generally recognised when it is received. Income is only deferred when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor has specified that the income is to be expended in a future period.
Income from donations includes:
- i) Recoverable gift aid. This is recognised when the related donation is received. Gift aid that has not been recovered by the balance sheet date is included as a debtor.
The charity relies on volunteers to carry out many of its activities. However, in accordance with the SORP, the value of these services has not been included in these financial statements as they cannot be reliably measured.
- ii) Legacies. Income from legacies is recognised when a distribution is received from the estate or, if earlier, when the charity has been notified that a distribution will be made and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.
Income from charitable activities represents income receivable from goods, services and facilities supplied in furtherance of the charity's charitable objects. It includes income from church retreats and other events and courses.
Investment income represents income generated by the charity's assets
c) Expenditure
Expenditure, including irrecoverable VAT, is recognised when it is incurred or, if earlier, when a legal or constructive obligation for a payment arises provided that it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
The charity makes grants to other institutions and individuals to further its charitable objectives. Grants payable are recognised as constructive obligations arise, which is generally when the charity expresses a commitment to the recipient that can be measured reliably and then only to the extent that any conditions associated with the grant are outside of the control of the charity.
2 Accounting Policies (continued)
The cost of raising funds is not significant and has not been separately disclosed.
Page 10
Emmanuel Church, Leamington Spa CIO
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022
Governance costs, which are included in expenditure on charitable activities but are identified separately in the notes to the accounts, includes costs associated with the independent examination of the financial statements, compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements and any other expenditure incurred on the strategic management of the charity.
d) Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are donations which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors; they include donations received from appeals for specific activities or projects. Endowment funds are donations that are retained as capital in accordance with the donor's wishes. The nature of the restriction determines whether the endowments represent permanent endowments or expendable endowments.
e) Tangible fixed assets
Items purchased or donated for the charity's own use are capitalised when the cost of purchased items, or the fair value of donated items, is more than £150 and the item is expected to benefit the charity over more than one accounting period. Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis so as to write down the value of each asset to its estimated residual value (if any) over its expected useful economic life. To achieve this objective the following rates of depreciation are charged:
p ( y )
Equipment Over 3 to 7 years
The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment in periods when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
f) Leased assets
Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the charity are classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term (unless another systematic basis is more representative of use).
g) Pension scheme arrangements
The charity operates defined contribution pension schemes for its employees. Obligations for contributions to these schemes are recognised as an expense when the liability arises. The assets of these schemes are held separately from those of the charity in independently administered funds.
h) Taxation
The charity has taken advantage of the various reliefs from taxation available to charities and no tax is payable on the charity's income.
i) Financial instruments
The charity's financial assets and financial liabilities all qualify as basic financial instruments, as defined by FRS102. Except for loans, creditors and debtors are measured at their expected settlement value (normally the amount of cash that the charity expects to pay or receive). The charity recognises liabilities for the principal of those loans that remains outstanding at the year end (i.e. the liabilities exclude any interest chargeable on the loans in future years).
j) Exemption from preparing a cashflow statement
The charity has taken advantage of an exemption conferred by the Charities SORP and has not prepared a cash flow statement.
k) Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement
ln preparing financial statements certain judgements, estimates and assumptions have to be made that affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The trustees consider the following to be significant:
-
i) The annual depreciation charge for property, plant and equipment is sensitive to changes in the estimates for useful economic life and residual value. These estimates are reassessed annually and, when necessary, adjusted to reflect current circumstances.
-
ii) The constructive obligation for grants payable is based on an assessment of the likely duration of the supported activity. Again this estimate is re-assessed annually and the obligation is adjusted to reflect current expectations.

Mission Fund - Designated - Annually the trustees set aside some of the charity's income for grant giving to institutions and individuals who undertake activities that further the charity's own objects. It is anticipated that all of the funds designated for this purpose will be distributed in the new financial year. Relocation and Development Fund - The fund was set up to allow the church to save funds towards a new building/building site for our church. Gifts can be one off gifts to contribute to the capital sum and/or regular standing orders allow us to show to a lender that we can service any mortgage payments
