## **OLD TRAFFORD CHRISTADELPHIAN CHURCH Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 March 2021.** The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021. 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 2015). ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** ## **Objectives and aims** The charity was established to advance the Bible based Christian faith to the glory of God and the honour of Jesus Christ in accordance with the Lancashire and Yorkshire Statement of Faith for the benefit of the public, through the holding of meetings for worship, prayer and the preaching of the gospel, providing religious teaching and publications (both printed and electronic), the promotion of charitable works, acts of service to the community and the provision of pastoral care. ## **Public benefit** During the year Government restrictions on public meetings owing to the Coronavirus resulted in the charity fulfilling its public benefit aims by way of its worship, prayer, preaching, and teaching online. The provision of pastoral care and charitable works (including acts of service) to the local and wider community were provided in line with Government guidelines. When planning activities for the year, the Trustees have considered the Commission's guidance on public benefit. ## **Volunteers** The trustees are grateful for the contribution made by volunteers in assisting the charity to carry out its activities. Because of the difficulties in quantifying economic value to the volunteers' time their contribution has not been included in the statement of financial activities. ## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** The charity has continued to preach and teach the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Last year the active church membership was 79 and during the year with 1 being baptised, 1 joining us from other churches, and 1 falling asleep in Christ. We held online via Zoom weekly preaching services on a Sunday evening, weekly Bible Reading groups and Bible Study classes, weekly youth clubs for junior school and senior school (and above) aged children. We provided pastoral care (including financial support) to a number of our members and the local community. Some weekly activities for the benefit of the local community such as the Parent and Toddler group and Coffee Morning had to be cancelled due to restrictions arising from Government policies to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus in the area. ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** ## **Financial position** The net outgoing resources of the unrestricted and restricted funds for the year amounted to £36,910 and £7,020 respectively and the fund balance carried forward at 31 March 2021 is £43,930. ## **Reserves policy** The reserves held are £36,910. The trustees have reviewed the reserves of the charity. This review included an assessment of the probable future levels of income and expenditure and the size and nature of the reserves. The review concluded that it was likely that there would be greater demands on the charity in the future and that the size of the reserves would enable the trustees to meet these calls on the charity. ## **FUTURE PLANS** The trustees intend, God willing, to carry on with the works of church, but following the Coronavirus these are likely to take new forms to previous years such as hybrid-services. ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** The charity is a Charitable Incorporated Association, registered as a Charity, number 1166491 since 12 April 2016.
