GATEWAY (YORK) CIO

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

The Trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the period ended 31 March 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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).

Gateway (York) CIO is the legal structure within which the work of Gateway Church takes place. The activities and achievements of the CIO are largely based on the generous donations of money and time from members of Gateway Church. Throughout this report the names of Gateway (York) CIO and Gateway Church will be used interchangeably. The Gateway Centre is the building out of which the majority of the charity's activities operate.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

  1. The advancement of the Christian faith for public benefit.

  2. To provide community facilities in Acomb or other appropriate locations.

  3. To advance any other charitable purpose in law considered appropriate.

This is worked out through:-

The trustees are aware of guidance published by the Charity Commission on Public Benefit and the guidance is taken into account when they review the objectives and activities of the charity.

The trustees facilitate the working out of the objectives of the charity in a variety of ways. One significant responsibility is the management of the Gateway Centre and the activities that take place in and from it. For example

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Gateway Church continues to strive to be a community of people who proclaim and demonstrate the good news of God's kingdom. We seek to join with God as he transforms our community, nation and world. We provide a number services that are of benefit to the local community and beyond. Throughout the financial year, we have sought to continue to serve God's purposes - faithfully preaching the good news, baptising new believers and teaching people to follow Christ.

The monies given by the members of the charity this year have been invested as follows.

Employment

The employees who have worked for Gateway Church this year are:

Caleb Ellwood Lead Pastor/Elder
Joseph O'Neill Staff Pastor/Elder
Wendy Neary Gateway Centre Operations Manager
Christine Hobson
Church Administrator
Sarah Hogben
Children's Work Team Leader
Jackie Adie
CAP Centre Manager
Molly Skaife Youth Support Worker
Joy Wong Ho Hospitality Coordinator
Cheryl Diuga Gateway Centre Cleaner
Mick Roberts Facilities Assistant
Ruth Burling Fundraiser

We would like to record our thanks to all the staff for their considerable efforts during the last year.

The Ministry of the Church

Gateway Church continues to thrive as a local church, with regular public worship services, weekly small groups for discipleship and fellowship and various groups and ministries. Considerable numbers of people give their time, money and effort to facilitate the work of the church. The trustees would like to acknowledge the vital role that all church members play, and thank all those who have contributed in any way during the last year.

Organisational development

During the year, Gateway Church went through a process of renewing the makeup of the team of Elders. Ben Greene and Joseph O'Neill were recognised by the church as elders in June 2022. At the same time, Nathan Bulley, David Donkin and John Wilson decided to step back from the team. Caleb Ellwood continued in his role as Lead Elder. The trustees would like to wholeheartedly thank Nathan, David and John for serving the church in this way over many years.

The Gateway Centre

The building which is now the Gateway Centre was acquired in 1997, refurbished and further extended in 2008/2009. As part of that refurbishment the Church entered into a mortgage arrangement with the Charity Bank on which the CIO continues to make payments. The maintenance and running of the Gateway Centre is financed by the donations of members but is offset by the revenue from venue hire during the year and a number of external grants.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

Services made available by the CIO to the local community:

All of the services we offer are open to all members of the community, whatever their beliefs. These activities either seek to be self-financing through donation or are subsidised directly by the CIO.

Christians Against Poverty Debt Advice Service

The CIO finances the provision of a free debt advice service in association with Christians Against Poverty. Throughout the year, due to the hard work of the team involved, we were able to support 38 new clients.

Apart from enabling people to tackle their debt, the service offered also helps clients to manage their finances in a way that supports their financial stability. In many cases the intervention of CAP has meant that individuals and families have avoided re-possession of their goods, eviction and homelessness.

Volunteers from Gateway Church provide friendship and support for clients when needed, deliver birthday cards and presents for clients and their children throughout the year. At Christmas members of Gateway Church provided Christmas hampers for the families and individuals who are currently being supported by the service.

Several other charities have contributed to the running cost of this valuable service.

York Foodbank

Each Monday, members of Gateway Church, together with volunteers from other churches, distribute food in cooperation with the York Foodbank. This includes giving out over 3 days worth of food to each family, spending time with clients, offering them refreshment and signposting them to other organisations/support services as necessary. A stock of food is kept on Centre premises and regular donations are received at the Gateway Centre before being processed at the York Foodbank warehouse.

Lights

The weekly, Friday-evening youth group continued to grow in size through the year. The group provides a safe place for young people to grow in community with others, be encouraged and supported by a team of youth leaders, and explore the Christian faith.

Connect Cafe

Formerly known as "A safe place to connect", this group began during the pandemic. Previously it was meeting online, but transitioned to an in-person, socially-distanced group. During this financial year, the group became well established and well attended. The group meets weekly on a Wednesday for refreshments, social interaction and a short talk from a team member.

The Atrium

From September 2022, we expanded the previous "Connect Cafe" ministry to become a hospitality space Monday to Wednesday, 10am-2pm. This originated during the post-pandemic period as a safe place for people to connect with others. We offer free hot and cold drinks, soup, hot sandwiches alongside a friendly team of volunteers who connect with members of the community. This ministry helps to reduce social isolation.

Chapelfields After School Hangout

Once per week in the time slot after schools finish, we run a group for children and young people at Sanderson House - a community facility in the Chapelfields neighbourhood. Resourced by staff and volunteers from our youth and children's teams, this group is a place where healthy relationships can be built with young people from a range of backgrounds. Providing diversionary activities for young people is a benefit to the local community, which often faces high levels of anti-social behaviour.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The financial year saw further recovery after the pandemic to the income received from room hire requests for the Gateway Centre, It increased from £20,628 in 2021-2022, to £24,746 in 2022-2023.

This, together with the continuing generosity of the members of Gateway Church and various grants has meant that the charity's income has almost been restored to pre-pandemic levels.

The total amount that the charity received in grants and donations this year was £348,378. This was supplemented by £29,592 from Gateway Centre rental and other income , giving a total income for the year of £377,970.

The funds of the charity are used primarily to meet the costs of operating the Gateway Centre in order that it can be made available for community use and as home for Gateway Church, and in supporting the varied activities of the Church.

Donations and grants of £40,275 were made in the year, £14,327 from unrestricted funds and £25,948 from restricted funds which include special offerings made by the church community. These donations went to support mission work both in this country and overseas, church planting, and meeting community need.

£7,200 was also given to Christians Against Poverty with whom the CIO partners to run a debt advice service from the Gateway Centre. This money is used by Christians Against Poverty to provide the legal and financial structure that is necessary to operate a local debt advice centre. On top of this, the CIO paid for the cost of running the centre locally, i.e. salaries and expenses, and this came to a total of £21,607.

The Statement of Financial Activities shows a total deficit of £43,914 for the year. This is however due to the expenditure in the year including £123,042 spent on completing the windows restoration project; the funding for this having been secured in the previous year, with £58,251 being brought forward on restricted funds and £40,000 designated from unrestricted funds. We would again like to thank the grant making trusts who made substantial contributions to the project, and to the members of the Gateway Church for their continued generosity which made the project possible.

Total reserves stand at £979,968 at the year end with net current assets of £176,123.

RESERVES POLICY

It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted reserves, which are the free current reserves of the charity not invested in tangible fixed assets, at a level which equates to approximately three to six months unrestricted expenditure. At this level, the Trustees feel that they would be able to continue the current activities of the charity.

FUTURE PLANS

Gateway Church will continue to offer its current activities and services, working in partnership with other local charities and organisations.

Further plans are afoot to recognise additional deacons in the church, establishing a strong team of elders and deacons for the future.

After the successful restoration of the windows in the older section of the building, the trustees have earmarked funds to be used for further renovation of the fabric of the Gateway Centre. This will be completed to a maintenance schedule in the coming years ahead.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable incorporated organisation, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets,

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Freehold property - not provided
Fixtures and fittings - 20% on reducing balance

The freehold property was revalued by the Trustees at £975,000 following the completion of the development work in 2009.This revaluation took place in the predecessor entity and therefore the freehold property value in the accounts is referred to as cost.

No depreciation has been provided on the freehold property on the basis of the long life of the asset, and as the estimated residual value is not considered materially different from the carrying value.

Stocks

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.
