Objectives and Activities
The main objects of the charity are:
-
a) The advancement of the Christian faith and proclamation of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
-
b) The advancement of education in accordance with Christian principles.
-
c) Protection of health and the relief of poverty, distress and sickness.
-
d) Advancement of Christian worship.
-
e) Promote and fulfil such other charitable purposes beneficial to the community.
The main activity of the trust is the running of a Christian church in the Manchester area together with related community projects.
In planning the activities of the charity the trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.
The trusts activities of education and prevention or relief of poverty and the religious activities are available to people in the North of England and elsewhere.
Achievements and Performance
In accordance with its objectives, financial support was given to a number of projects involved in the relief of hardship and suffering, both in the UK and abroad, including Europe and Africa. Educational projects in the UK, Europe and Africa were also supported as have community transformation initiatives in Trafford, in Greater Manchester, and other parts of the UK. The CIO continues to work with seven other local churches including Life Church and partnering with Christians Against Poverty (registered charity 1097217) to provide debt counselling free of charge to local residents. COVID restrictions led us to develop on-line working for both the church and Debt Centre. In future we expect to keep a hybrid on-line and in person mode of service delivery. Steps are being taken to secure funds for ongoing work in the area of debt relief. The CIO is the lead organisation and holds the finances for the centre. The primary source of income for the CIO is from donations.
ISAIAH 58 TRUST
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the year ended 31st March 2021
Financial Review
The total income for the year was £61,254 and total expenditure on charitable activities amounted to £39,058. The balance on General Funds at the year end was £504,157 and on designated funds £111,900 and on restricted £25,117.
Reserves Policy
The trustees have continued the policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the charity should be between 2 and 3 months of expenditure. The trustees consider that this should be £25,000 in general funds. The reserves are needed to meet the working capital requirement of the charity and the trustees are confident that at this level they would be able to continue the current activities of the charity in the event of a significant drop in funding. The present level of the reserves available to the charity are in excess of the desired amount. The trustees have continued to maintain the reserves at this level by monitoring income and expenditure on a monthly basis, and only making donations from surplus funds. Additional reserves of £8,000 are needed for the Debt Centre to continue to function for 3–4 months in case of loss of income. These are held in restricted funds.
Structure, Governance and Management
Governing Document
Isaiah 58 Trust is registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation with the Charity Commission. It was formed under a Trust Deed registered on 23rd December 2015.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS for the year ended 31st March 2021
1. Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
a) Basis of Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.
Public Benefit Entity
The Isaiah 58 Trust meets the definition of a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102.
Going Concern
The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity’s ability to continue as a going concern.
b) Income Recognition Policies
Items of income are recognised and included in the accounts when all of the following criteria are met:
-
The charity has entitlement to the funds;
-
any performance conditions attached to the items of income have been met or are fully within the control of the charity;
-
there is sufficient certainty that receipt of the income is considered probable; and
-
the amount can be measured reliably.
Income received in advance of a specific performance or provision of other specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met.
Income from Government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ grants or ‘revenue’ grants, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. In respect of the furlough grant; all conditions, with respect to the eligible costs being claimed, need to be met.
c) Donated Services and Facilities
In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) the general time of volunteers is not recognised in the accounts.
- d) Interest Receivable Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the Charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
for the year ended 31st March 2021 (continued)
-
e) Fund Accounting
-
Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of the Charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the Charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for the particular areas of the Charity’s work or for specific projects being undertaken by the Charity.
-
f) Expenditure and Irrecoverable VAT
-
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. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
-
Expenditure on Charitable activities includes the cost of running the activities of Kings Way Church and associated projects.
-
Other expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading.
-
Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
g) Tangible Fixed Assets
Individual fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful economic lives on a straight line basis as follows:
Asset Annual Category Rate Equipment (costing over £1,000) 25% per annum Equipment (costing less than £1,000) Written off in year of acquisition
- h) Debtors
Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amounts due after any trade discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid after taking account of any trade discounts due.
-
i) Cash at Bank and in Hand Cash at bank and cash in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
-
j) Creditors and Provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the Charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
- k) Pensions
The Charity operates a defined contribution scheme, the assets of which are held outside the Charity. The contributions by the Charity in the year are detailed in note 7.

General fund The 'free reserves' after allowing for all designated funds. Buildings Fund Loan In prior year's £130,000 of the building fund was lent to LifeChurch Manchester and formed part of the £550,000 loan (see above). The £130,000 has therefore been transferred from the building Fund to the Building Fund Loan and is held in the form of a loan to LifeChurch Manchester. Last year £20,000 was repaid on this loan and therefore a corresponding £20,000 was released back to the general reserves.
