TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2021
The trustees who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose of the Companies Act 2006, present the report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 October 202. The trustees have adopted the provision of accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statements of Recommended Practice preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015).
Objects of the charity
The charity is a charitable company and is governed by its memorandum and articles of association. The objects of the charity, as set out in the governing document are to advance the Christian faith in accordance with the principles, practices and tenets of the Church of England in such ways as the Trustees in their absolute discretion shall think fit.
StoryHouse is a charity set up by St Luke's Church to benefit the community in Crosby and create an accessible form of church for people who feel like they don't fit anywhere else and to help the regeneration of Crosby Village and to improve community connections. This vision is expressed through a constant presence of a coffee shop with staff who are available as a listening ear and to pray with people. Through our community space we offer space for local community organisations and start up sole traders and our own community events.
We are a church that aims to be accessible to locals who may find traditional forms of church inaccessible. This occurs every Sunday in St Michael's High School, Crosby, and during the week in the cafe reaching out to the local community.
Maintaining our Aims
At our trustee meetings we review our effectiveness in delivering our aims and objectives, this document is a result of that ongoing work. This review looks at each area of activity and how it has benefited the public. We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charities Commission’s general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2021
Achievements and Performance
StoryHouse Church meets every Sunday In person again, following the lifting of restrictions on the coronavirus pandemic. Due to the growth in church attendance we have moved to a bigger venue, and rented the hall at a local school, St Michaels High, Crosby. We also broadcast live through Facebook and YouTube. Midweek services are held in person and via Zoom. We also meet for prayer and worship once a month.
Community Activities
Throughout the year we have hosted various activities to build community in Crosby and make the Christian faith more accessible. These include quiz nights, ‘Storytime’ a weekly term time group for preschoolers, and other social activities. At Christmas we held a community carol service accompanied by a brass band outside StoryHouse cafe with a creative retelling of the Christmas story. We support local organisations and independent individuals by hosting them in the upper room of the StoryHouse cafe to strengthen the local community. These have included activities for adults during the day and for children after school including home workers, after school activities and craft for wellbeing.
StoryHouse Staff
Many of our staff are young Christians exploring how to use their faith in the world. We aim to be a place where they can discover and grow into their unique calling. We have weekly spiritual formation and prayer time with the staff, away days and team nights.
BMO
Within the Church of England, StoryHouse operates as an extension of St Luke’s Church Great Crosby. We are currently applying for a Bishops Mission Order (BMO), which, once approved, means we will become a church in our own right within the Diocese of Liverpool.
Pay Review
This year we carried out a pay review in line with inflation and an increase in the living and minimum wage. We value our staff and fairness and equality are key to our values

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2021
Structure, Governance and Management
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.
The trustees meet approximately bi monthly and have met more frequently when decisions have needed to be made. As well as acting as the accountable body they have also acted as line managers to the project manager and café manager and as volunteers with some of the work of the charity. The senior manager, café manager and the co-lead pastor for the church also attend these meetings to give their related feedback and suggestions. The Senior Manager who is also the pioneer minister reports directly to the trustees.
Financial review
During the year income increased by £18,982, to £216,903, and expenditure increased by £27,285, to £197,602. As a result surplus for the year decreased by £8,303, to £19,302 and the charity's net assets increased by the same amount, to £62,996. Net current assets increased by £27,511, to £55,776.
Reserves policy
The trustees have determined that the charity should aim to hold unrestricted cash of no less than £38,150 (which equates to about 2.5 months' of unrestricted expenditure) so that the charity could continue to operate should income and / or expenditure vary adversely. At the year end, the charity held unrestricted cash of £45,617 and the charity is complying with its reserves policy.
Key risks and uncertainties
The charity is exposed to various risks - be they operational, financial or reputational. The trustees review the charity's activities regularly to identify significant risks and, where possible, they take appropriate measures to mitigate those risks.
Plans for the future
The trustees are discussing plans for the refurbishment of the café premises after five years of continuous use. They are also restarting regular youth work in the building following the lifting of Covid restrictions.

TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (INCORPORATING DIRECTORS' REPORT)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2021
Responsibilities of trustees under company law
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).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
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 financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on a 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 charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Approval
This report, which has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies, was approved by the trustees and signed on their behalf by

the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2021
1 Statutory Information
The charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee and is incorporated in the United Kingdom. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company 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"), with the Companies Act 2006 and with the Charities Act 2011. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as set out in FRS 102.
The principles adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.
a) Going concern
The trustees (who are the charitable company's directors for the purposes of company law) 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. In making this assessment the trustees have considered how Covid-19 might affect projections.
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, particularly church activities including children and youth work and outreach initiaitves. 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.
Income from charitable activities represents income receivable from goods, services and facilities supplied in furtherance of the charity's charitable objects.
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.
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.

STORYHOUSE PROJECT
NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2021
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, and the item is expected to benefit the charity over more than one accounting period. Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis over 5 years so as to write down the value of each asset to its estimated residual value (if any) over its expected useful economic life.
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) 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.
| g) | Taxation The company is a registered charity; it has taken advantage of the various reliefs from taxation available to charities and no tax is payable on the charity's income. |
|---|---|
| h) | 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.
i) Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement The trustees do not consider that there are any material sources of estimation or uncertainty at the balance sheet date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities in the next reporting period.
