Trustees' Report
The trustees present the annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021.
Objectives and activities
Objects and aims
The objects of Bridge Church Newbury for the public benefit are:
1.To advance the Christian faith, in accordance with our Statement of Beliefs, in West Berkshire and in such other parts of the United Kingdom and the world as the trustees may from time to time think fit;
2.The prevention or relief of poverty in West Berkshire and in such other parts of the United Kingdom and the world as the trustees may from time to time think fit; and
3.To fulfil such other purposes, which are exclusively charitable according to the law of England and Wales and are connected to the charitable work of the charity as the trustees may from time to time think fit.
Highlights of our year in 2021
• Focussing on discipleship in our small groups by running 3 courses: The Prayer Course (24-7 Prayer), The Bible Course (The Bible Society) and our own in-house evangelism series called Mission:All, featuring people from Bridge Church and the Commission community.
• Running our New Day @ Home event for Bridge Youth. This was hosted locally and incorporated the online programming from the New Day youth event. They spent the 2 days watching the New Day content, playing sport and games, making pizza: enjoying fun and fellowship together.
• Celebrating our return to meeting together with a Family Fun Day in September featuring a hog roast, games, and Sunday morning service at a local farm. This was a fantastic time to re-kindle existing friendships, build new relationships and to say thank you to all those who had worked so hard over the previous 18 months to keep Bridge Church flourishing.
• Our Christian’s Against Poverty (CAP) Debt Centre, in partnership with St Nicolas’ Newbury, has continued to work with clients despite restrictions. To date, our centre has helped 44 families; 3 of which are already debt free. We have continued to seek ways to bless and encourage clients this year: distributing 18 Christmas hampers, delivering Easter eggs, and providing garden clearing, clothing and emergency food parcels.
• Hosting our first Christmas Wreath Making event which included many friends from outside of Bridge Church and welcomed several CAP Debt Centre clients.
• Continuing to look for opportunities to be generous to our church and local community, including providing Trinity School’s rising year 7 with books used for project work instead of their usual summer school activities and supporting the local Foodbank as they faced increasing demand because of Covid-19.

Objectives, strategies and activities
Activities and Achievements
Coronavirus restrictions continued to change the look of daily church life in 2021. We met online via our YouTube channel every Sunday until the end of July. Over the summer we gave those involved in digital church a well-earned break and enjoyed live weekly devotional times using Zoom and opportunities to meet face to face for picnics and walks as restrictions allowed.
Trinity opened their doors to us again in September when we started to meet weekly on a Sunday morning again with a pared down version of church encouraging people to Worship Simply: Simply Worship. This was an amazing time to reconnect with people we had not seen face to face for up to 18 months and finally worship together (albeit with masks in place until Spring 2022). Bridge Kids and Bridge Youth resumed with regular Sunday morning groups giving them time to have age-appropriate Bible teaching and plenty of time for fun together.
Church life continued in our new hybrid form during the week (following any Coronavirus restrictions in place at the time) allowing us to enjoy small groups, discipleship courses, parents and toddlers, men’s and women’s events and youth events. We continued to have a wider reach than when we only met face-to-face and were thrilled to welcome many newcomers to Bridge Church when we resumed meeting at Trinity in September.
The Elders and Trustees are incredibly grateful to all of those in the Bridge Church community who served the church, and each other, so faithfully during such a challenging time. Recognition should go to our skilled digital church team who produced our high-quality services streamed weekly via our YouTube channel. This involved many hours of planning, recording, and editing. Similarly, our small group leaders provided the focus of our pastoral care and discipleship throughout the year, many meeting weekly online as well as creating opportunities to meet in person (subject to any restrictions).
In all the challenges that Covid-19 threw at us in 2021, with Bridge Church continued to be a thriving community of people who love Jesus and want to join in with what He is doing to make Him known to those around us.
Public benefit
It is the opinion of the trustees that Bridge Church Newbury has fulfilled its public benefit requirements for the year to 31st December 2021. The activities and achievements of the period are discussed in detail in this report. The trustees have referred to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and work to ensure that the charity operates within its objects and makes decisions on future activities with due regard to fulfilling its public benefit requirement.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

Trustees' Report (continued)
Financial review
Bridge Church’s finances are managed by the trustees and a budget was set at the start of the year and reviewed at regular trustee meetings during 2021. Despite the financial pressures for many due to Covid-19 we saw an increase in giving over the period due to many new people joining and giving to the church.
Our Crisis Fund continued to be available to meet specific needs of our church and local community during the pandemic. At the end of 2021 we agreed to move this fund into our Family Fund for future use as needs arise and this is shown as the Family Fund in the accounts.
Bridge Church is funded through the generosity of its regular congregation and visitors. We receive cash donations and standing orders monthly (biblical tithes) as our primary source of income. We are registered with HMRC for their Charity Repayment Scheme which gives us an additional 25p in the pound on eligible donations and provided £21,792 in additional income in the year.
Bridge Church believe in the importance of giving generously from the income we receive, encouraged by the Bible to be cheerful givers and to actively look to meet the needs of those around us.
We tithe from our income and for 2021 gave away 13% (budgeted 10%) of our unrestricted income to Commission. A further 6% of unrestricted income was given away to support other local and international organisations that we have connections with and who share our charitable objectives, and to respond to individual needs in our church. Organisations who benefited this year were Commission churches in Kenya and the Middle East, Open Doors charity, West Berkshire Foodbank, and Christian Outreach in Newbury Schools (COINS).
The trustees of Bridge Church Newbury report a surplus of £17,153 for the year to 31 December 2021.

The trustees have a Reserves Policy to ensure that funds held for future periods are sufficient to meet current obligations and our charitable objectives. These are regularly reviewed in Trustee’s meetings to ensure that they remain appropriate to the charity’s circumstances.
The following designated unrestricted funds are held by Bridge Church Newbury which can be used at the discretion of the trustees:
Contingency Fund - 3 months of salary and overhead costs in the event of a shortfall in income
Church Growth Fund – for church planting and future church building costs
Venue Fund – to build up reserves for a weekday or Sunday venue
Family Fund – used to meet the needs of those in Bridge Church and the local community in crisis
Youth Fund – £2,000 donation from New Day (a Newfrontiers youth event) designated for youth ministry and events
Replacement Equipment Fund – annual amount transferred to cover the cost of replacing worn out equipment
CAP Courses Fund – funds donated and put aside by Bridge Church for running CAP courses (separate from the restricted fund)
Alpha Course Fund – funds unused and carried forward to support future Alpha course costs
The following restricted fund represents funds that cannot be used at the discretion of the trustees:
Christians Against Poverty (CAP) – funds donated via Bridge Church Newbury for the running of the Newbury CAP Debt Centre.
The remaining surplus is categorised as an unrestricted fund named General Fund and can be used to cover day to day expenses and for any other purpose that the trustees see fit.

Plans for future periods Plans for 2022
Bridge Church Newbury’s aims and key objectives for 2022:
• Continue to JOIN IN with what God is doing in Newbury and the surrounding area by encouraging our church community to get involved in Bridge Church and CTNA activities and ministries that already serve Newbury and West Berkshire.
• Create opportunities for discipleship and spiritual growth through the Sunday preaching series’, small group discussions and running courses such as Alpha, Freedom in Christ and The Marriage Course.
• Apply what we have learned through our Mission:All evangelism series by taking one week each month off from our small groups, particularly focusing on those we have friendships with outside of the church: neighbours, colleagues, and friends.
• Encouraging the church to be part of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June 2022 and to engage with their neighbours and local community.
• Organise a church weekend away over the August Bank Holiday whilst we wait for the return of Commission’s annual festival, Connect, in 2023.
• Continue to support financially and champion our Christians Against Poverty Debt Centre run in partnership with St Nicolas’ Church, Newbury. Enable the Centre to increase its capacity to better serve our local community in times of financial hardship through the recruitment of a new Debt Coach to assist our current Debt Centre Manager.
Structure, governance and management
Nature of governing document
From December 2014 Bridge Church Newbury existed as an unincorporated organisation that was not registered as a charity with the Charity Commission.
On 3rd May 2016 Bridge Church Newbury was registered with the Charity Commission as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) who's only voting members are its charity trustees. The charity is governed by its Constitution, dated 3rd May 2016.

Trustees' Report (continued)
Recruitment and appointment of trustees
Trustees
The trustees met 5 times during 2021 for full trustees’ meetings and as required for ad-hoc decision making and communication. These meetings continued to mainly be held via Zoom due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic. Our Constitution allows us to hold meetings via electronic means. During these meetings we considered the financial position of the church, reviewed, and set policies, and supported the leadership of the church through providing effective governance and financial decision making.
We were excited to appoint a new trustee, Caroline Owen Jones who started on 7 July 2021.
Other than Mark Landreth-Smith who has been employed by Bridge Church Newbury since June 2015, all other trustees received no other benefits other than reimbursed expenses during the year. In total these expenses for the seven trustees (and related parties) amounted to £1,833. None of these expenses related to their role as trustee but for other activities undertaken by Bridge Church during the year.
The church Eldership met regularly during the year and set the vision and mission of the church. The trustees’ role is to manage the charity’s resources to enable this vision and mission to become a reality by releasing the resources required whilst ensuring strong financial management and governance.
Organisational structure
The charity, Bridge Church Newbury, is a church. The trustees run the charity and are responsible for governance and compliance with legislation. Spiritual leadership of the church is provided by the Eldership team which includes Mark Landreth-Smith, who is also a trustee.
Bridge Church Newbury is part of an international network of churches called Commission. We share the vision and values of Commission which can be found at http://www.commission-together.org/about/our-values.aspx. Commission is part of the wider Newfrontiers family of churches.

Trustees' Report (continued)
Employee involvement
Bridge Church employs one full time Pastor and a part time Administrator to support both the Pastor and the Treasurer in the day to day financial and administrative functions. Both report to the Board of Trustees who review performance and salary on a regular basis. Other staff are recruited on a short-term contract basis to fulfil functions required at the time.
Staffing changes in 2021:
-
New administrator employed in July 2021 with our previous administrator finishing in August 2021.
-
Digital Content Editor contract ended in July 2021 as we returned to face-to-face meetings
-
ChurchSuite Project Analyst (short term contract) to assist Bridge Church in using ChurchSuite effectively as a tool for communication, administration and giving.
Most of our activities are led and run by volunteers: small group leaders, ministry leaders, children’s and youth workers, Communications, Sunday serving and weekday events teams. Many of these volunteers continued to serve despite coronavirus restrictions and showed great adaptability and willingness to serve their church and local community. Bridge Church would not be the active and welcoming church that it is without its volunteers for whom the trustees are incredibly grateful.

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
