## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 March 2022** 

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022. 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). 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES VISION** 

The Vision Statement of Community Church Bishops Stortford is that we will be "the Family of God in the Presence of God displaying the Glory of God." This is the big picture destination that we are aiming for in every area of our lives and the three key words in this vision statement are: 

Family: We seek to display committed, loving and healthy family relationships together because are first and foremost a family rather than an organisation or an institution. 

Presence: God has spoken prophetically to us that we are to be a place of His Presence - a place of residential anointing where His presence amongst us is tangible and experiential. 

Glory: We exist for His Glory. Our passion is to see His Glory displayed among us and through us, and that His Glory will be worshipped and honoured in our individual lives, families, communities, and to the ends of the earth. 

Our vision is to be a church: 

- Where God's presence and power bring healing, salvation and deliverance. 

- That encourages one another to grow into mature followers of Christ. 

- Serving the needs of the wider community. 

- Where children and young people want to be. 

- That plants new churches, reaches the region and touches nations. 

- Equipping people here, from the region and beyond. 

- - Gathering 900 people of all generations and many nations. 

Some of the core values that we hold here at Community Church are; honour, authenticity, passion, generosity and courage. 

We work in partnership with our churches and organisations within Bishops Stortford and the UK and these include: 

Newfrontiers: We are part of the Newfrontiers, a worldwide network of over 850 churches in 60 nations: www.newfrontierstogether.org. 

Relational Mission (RM): within Newfrontiers we are part of Relational Mission, a growing family of churches committed to seeing lives and communities transformed by the grace of God: www.relationalmission.org. The Evangelical Alliance: We are a member of the Evangelical Alliance, which is made up of thousands of churches within the UK, and works to represent Evangelical Christians: www.eauk.org. 

Thirst Youth Café (Bishops Stortford Youth Project): We are closely connected with this local Bishops Stortford Charity established to engage with youth through its Youth Café 'Thirst'. 

Additionally, there are a number of other charities we have relationship with, to which we give generously too during the course of the year. 

## **Grantmaking** 

When they meet, the Trustees review the grants proposed by the church elders. They review these grants to ensure that they fall within the objectives of the charity and that there are sufficient reserves available.

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Review of the year** 

This past year has continued to be impacted with the changing Covid restrictions. This has included remote services, limited in person meetings for part of the year, and to operating primarily with an online presence, and with staff working remotely where necessary. 

Throughout the year these challenges have represented a evolving situation, but with the general trajectory being one of more possibility to meet together again in person. The evolving situation has meant that frequent discussions have been needed to deal with the uncertainty that these changing requirements have brought, and to adjust to new requirements. In this environment we appreciate and thank the staff team and the leadership Team at CCBS for their hard work, their commitment to the community, and their flexibility. 

With the onset of Covid the church took quick action to look to ensure that the ongoing operation is well protected. This has  included ensuring that expenditure is prudently managed, and income regularly reviewed. As the year developed, we have experienced a good level of ongoing financial giving and the impact upon income has been managed. Therefore, the charity has been able to emerge from this period in a stable financial position. We are deeply thankful to all those who generously support the church. With the actions taken, and the ongoing support of the members of the church the Trustees are confident that the church is well placed to manage  this unprecedented challenge. 

Church Life; this year has been the resumption of the 'in person' Sunday morning meetings, following a reduction in the covid restrictions. Including the relaunch of a wide variety of ministries and groups, which had all needed to adjust through the year in response to the limitations of the covid restrictions. In the instances where these have still been reduced or paused, we look forward to a time when activity can fully resume. 

Overseas Support and Ministry; We continue to be connected to Relational Mission, part of the Newfrontiers family, and we also have relationships internationally; particularly with long term connection with churches in Ukraine, and a church in Berkel, Holland. We have also supported the sending of the Lines family to New York, and Pete and Miriam Williams to Taiwan. We donate generously to Relational Mission and a number of other charities to support our goals. 

Support of Churches; We also continue to release our lead elder part-time to oversee a number of other churches in the region as  part of the Relational Mission Apostolic Team. 

During this financial year we have said goodbye to Barbara Bird as a Trustee and thank her for the many years of contributions as a Trustee. The rest of the trustee team remains unchanged and is comprised of Stuart Croft, Andy Lee, Phyllis Alaezi, Esther Young-Harry, and Oskan Edwardson. 

The activities of Community Church Bishops Stortford could not happen without the commitment, effort and passion of its many members. We take the opportunity to thank our many volunteers for the significant contributions they bring. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial Review** 

The principal source of funding for the Church is donations. For the year ended 31 March 2022, the Church received £498,659 in total from all of its sources of income. Total expenditure in the year amounted to £440,104. This compares to figures for the previous period ending 31st March 2021 of £475,027 total income, and a total expenditure of £381,928. 

## **Reserves and investment policy** 

The Trustees Policy on Reserves and Investments is to make maximum use of available funds to further the aims of the charity and to use low risk investment, which maintains ready access to the reserves. The Trustees have the powers to invest in such funds as they see fit. 

The balance of the charity's working fund is maintained at a level commensurate with the charity's cash flow, without necessitating restrictive phasing of medium spend projects across the financial year. With the exception of funds designated from time to time for specific high cost projects (e.g. purchase or extensive modifications of buildings) which are held for a limited period in a separate account, the charity does not hold high levels of reserves. 

The Trustees consider that the free reserves are equivalent to the general funds net current assets. This excludes the fixed assets, which are needed for the continuing use of the charity. They believe the free reserves should be approximately £70,000 which is  two months budgeted expenditure for 2021/22.

The Trustees meet on a regular basis throughout the year. The day to day management of the Charity is delegated to the Church Elders, who report to the Trustees. 

## **Appointment and training of new Trustees** 

New Trustees are appointed by the Elders, in consultation with the Trustees. New Trustees are selected from within the church family. The induction process for any newly appointed trustee comprises of an initial meeting with the Chair of Trustees in order to understand their responsibilities and the framework within which the church operates. In addition to explaining the powers and responsibilities of the Board of Trustees New Trustees are also provided with a copy of the Trust Deed, annual accounts and a copy of the Charity Commission's guidance 'The Essential Trustee: What You Need to Know'. 

## **Trustee Meetings**

The key areas considered are; governance and management of the charity, external influences and risks, safeguarding, data protection, human resources, health and safety, and finance. The individual risk factors within these general areas were assessed to determine the likelihood of the risk occurring, its potential impact, control procedures in place to limit the risk, assignment of responsibility and further actions to be taken.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF COMMUNITY CHURCH BISHOPS STORTFORD** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Community Church Bishops Stortford** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Community Church Bishops Stortford (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2022. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of  the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a registered member of Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales which is one of the listed bodies. 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the Year Ended 31 March 2022** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements and assessment of going concern** 

The financial statements of the charity, 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. 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. 

The financial statements are presented in sterling (£). 

The charity has taken advantage of the following disclosure exemptions in preparing these financial statements, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland': 

- the requirement of paragraph 3.17(d); 

- the requirements of  paragraphs 11.42, 11.44, 11.45, 11.47, 11.48(a)(iii), 11.48(a)(iv), 11.48(b) and 11.48(c). 

## **Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty** 

In preparing financial statements it is necessary to make certain judgements, estimated and assumptions that affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The following judgements and estimates are considered by the trustees to have most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements. 

Useful economic life of tangible fixed assets: 

The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are reassessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the 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. 

## **Allocation and apportionment of costs** 

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances 

## **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 in accordance with the property - Fixtures and fittings 25% on reducing balance - Computer equipment 25% on reducing balance 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Debtors** 

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid. 

## **Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash, current bank accounts and deposit bank accounts with no withdrawal limitations. 

## **Creditors**

**NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued for the Year Ended 31 March 2022** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued** 

## **Taxation** 

Creditors are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will 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 are recognised at their settlement amount. 

## **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. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the  Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate. 

## **Financial instruments** 

The charity only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the exception of bank loans which are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
