**Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31st December 2022** 

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st December 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** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

The Brunstad Christian Church Huntworth took over the charitable objectives of its former incarnation, BCC Huntworth on 1st April 2017. Brunstad Christian Church Huntworth seeks to demonstrate the Christian faith in action by operating as a church in the local area and through missionary work worldwide. This includes: 

- Holding regular services for the worship of God and the Lord Jesus Christ 

- Preaching and expounding the teachings of the Bible, including through meetings and activities aimed specifically at young people and children 

- Conducting missionary activities to promote the Christian faith in other countries 

## **Public benefit** 

Under the 2006 Charities Act the advancement of religion continues to be charitable but the Act also requires that there must be a public benefit. The Trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and maintain that public benefit can be demonstrated in the out workings of the charity's activities. Specifically, that individuals are taught to contribute constructively to society, to respect local and national authorities and therefore to be law-abiding citizens who have genuine care for their neighbours and both the man-made and natural environment. Increasingly, the charity focuses on engaging young people and children in constructive, healthy and beneficial activities of a practical nature, designed to keep them safe from the more negative influences in society and which demonstrate to them that giving, rather than taking, is a key to a fulfilled and happy life. Since the pandemic of 2020 many of these activities have made use of digital tools which have been of enormous benefit and we therefore see ourselves continuing to focus our energies on making extensive use of digital communications in future. 

The Charity's property is regularly used by the NHS, politicians, societies and other charities for communication, training and leisure activities, and through our subsidiary trading company, Somerset Solutions Ltd (SSL) our café and children's playpark are visited by hundreds of local people annually. Despite significant disruption due to the pandemic, we have maintained and increased these activities during 2022. 

## **Church Attendance** 

During the year the number of adults and children from the Bridgwater area regularly attending our meetings and constituting our 'congregation' has remained steady at approximately 140. On special occasions (such as weddings or birthday celebrations) visitors can on occasion mean numbers increase to as many as 300.

**Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31st December 2022** 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE Review of activities** 

2022 saw the return of our regular in-person meeting activity after the pandemic. 

The Operational Board continued to actively work to ensure we make best use of the Charity's resources. As has been our custom, we continued to be actively engaged in voluntary fundraising activities so that we can raise enough money  to meet the current and future needs of our members, not least our young people and children. To this end, we have again worked closely with Somerset Solutions Ltd (SSL), a wholly owned subsidiary company owned by the Brunstad Christian Church Huntworth, which uses our church property to run events such as weddings, birthday celebrations, training events and business seminars. The purpose of SSL is to generate work opportunities, donates profits and takes responsibility for the funding and management of our church property. 

Our Midas Coffee Lounge opened to the general public in March 2020 under the auspices of SSL and has continued to have a steady stream of customers during 2022. The coffee bar serves drinks and light refreshments. 

The established pattern of meetings continued in a similar fashion to those we have conducted pre-pandemic, with regular meetings on Sundays, weekly youth meetings (for 12 to 36-year-olds), boys' and girls' activity groups, children's Sunday school and regular online transmissions from our 'parent' church in Brunstad, Norway. The charity was resourceful in finding creative ways to continue these activities digitally, and in some cases finding that digital tools enhanced the experience of these events. We continued with sports, youth camps, seminars, conferences at our international conference centre in Norway as well as the fundraising activities mentioned above. The purpose of fundraising is to generate funds for the church's missionary activities with our own young people and children and to support the expansion of our conference centre in Norway. 

The church again supported missionary work in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, specifically through our retired pastor holding online meetings and conferences with churches there. Another part of our mission work is making use of the internet (see our website www.activechristianity.org and http://www.bbc.no) to transmit Christian teaching through articles, photographs, film clips and song and BCCH is taking an increasingly active role in supporting that work. 

During this year, the Trustees have considered a number of important issues and taken key decisions including: 

- The transfer of SSL's assets to BCCH, with corresponding changes to the financial arrangements between the two entities. 

- A budget of £216k for 2022 to over the costs of operating Church activities. This was an increase on the previous year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic that year. 

- A fundraising campaign to raise £70k to support members attending conferences at our international conference centre in Norway. 

- We continue to develop and use the Brunstad Christian Church huntworth SharePoint site for the storage and increased accessibility of key documents. This applies to all meeting agendas, minutes and associated documents, together with any resources used in our children's and youth meetings and other activities. 

- The desirability of joining the Brunstad Christian church Federation at a future date. This is an international federation which will be established by BCC Norway, and which is likely to have major benefits for our members, including the opportunity to participate in more missionary work, digital outreach and benefit from a more professional approach to governance, compliance and financial management. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial review** 

Throughout 2022 we continued to see generous support from the church membership and have therefore been able to continue raising funds for the development of the premises and the mission work, including with our own youth and children.

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31st December 2022** 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Reserves policy** 

The Board of Trustees established a policy whereby unallocated reserves held by the Charity should be maintained at an amount sufficient to cover unforeseen shortfalls of income. This buffer is kept at the level of £30,000, but in addition, during 2020 we sought to raise a larger reserve fund to help ensure we could mitigate any risks arising from COVID-19, both for ourselves or for our parent church in Norway. We therefore managed to raise £112,000 for this purpose, on which interest is currently accruing. We are maintaining the cash reserve fund in view of the uncertainty which still exists around the economy and rising costs. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

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. 

## **Governance** 

The policies and strategies which govern the Charity's development, rest with the trustees. They meet and communicate regularly to oversee the activities of the Charity. The list of trustees for 2022 was as follows: 

Stephen Chadwick, Chairman Matthew Savage Andrea Hall 

All trustees attend local church meetings and are active members of Brunstad Christian Church internationally. 

The trustees continue to be supported by an Operational Board which comprises members of the Charity with practical, commercial and organisational skills. Operational Board members each take responsibility for various practical aspects of the Charity's activities including: activities with young people and children; safeguarding of children, young people and vulnerable adults; maintenance and development of our property; organising, managing and administering the Charity's activities; and managing the Trust's finances. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

Trustees are appointed who are familiar with the aims and policies of the Charity, and who have won the confidence of the congregation through their commitment and conduct over several years. 

Trustees have hitherto not required any additional training except that which relates to the protection of vulnerable adults and child protection - both areas which the charity takes very seriously. Were the situation to arise where the charity wished to appoint a trustee who is believed would benefit from training in any particular area, then arrangements would be made for such training to be provided. 

Stephen Chadwick has acted as Board Chairman since 1 October 2018 and was again appointed to that role by the AGM for the duration of 2022. 

## **Safeguarding** 

The trustees have reviewed the risks to which a small charity operating with few employees is exposed. Appropriate procedures are in place to identify, monitor and review these risks on a regular basis. Specifically, risks relating to vulnerable adults and child protection are under close scrutiny by the Charity. Consequently, we continue to develop and update our safeguarding framework which consists of a comprehensive policy, clear guidelines, procedures and training, as well as commitment to closer liaison with the authorities. All of these measures are designed to reduce both the likelihood and impact of incidents in this area. We have developed this safeguarding framework in close collaboration with our 'parent' church, Brunstad Christian Church, Norway.

**Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Brunstad Christian Church Huntworth** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Brunstad Christian Church Huntworth ('the Company')** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31st December 2022. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 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 member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies. 

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

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

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

3. 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 

4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)). 

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.

The Church supports missionaries in the UK and internationally. Where a particular missionary has been supported by the church for a number of years, strict compliance with the Charities' Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) may regard some arrangements as constituting constructive obligations such that future years' support is accounted for in the accounts as a liability. Whilst the support has no final end date in some cases, the Church officers assess missionary funding on an annual basis and are confident that the missionaries would not view their support as an open ended obligation by the Church. 

The main feature of the grants made were: Support for worldwide mission work undertaken by associates of Brunstad churches in Europe.
