## **MARTOCK CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP**
## **Trustees’ Report for year ended 31 December 2020**
## **Objectives**
The primary aim of the charity is to fulfil the role of a Christian Church in the Martock area and to provide help to others in promoting the Christian faith in the United Kingdom and overseas, and maintaining the upkeep and repair of the fabric of buildings, utilised for charitable purposes.
## **Martock Christian Fellowship Mission Statement**
The following is a list of aspirations that Martock Christian Fellowship (MCF), as a family of people who love God and follow Jesus Christ, both long and pray for.
• To be people for whom God is first, His Word is light and Christ is enough.
• To be a people amongst whom the hurting, the depressed, the frustrated, the lonely, the confused, and the marginalised can find love, acceptance, help, hope, forgiveness, guidance, and encouragement.
• To be a people through whom the Good News of Jesus Christ is shared with as many people as possible, both in and around Martock, as well as further afield.
• To be a people from whom passionate worship is directed towards God, loving encouragement is directed towards one another, and financial help is directed to the needy.
• To be a people in whom the knowledge of God is growing, the love of God is deepening, the gifts of God are developing, and the power of God is living.
• And to be a people with whom lies the responsibility of caring for buildings that many in the community will enjoy visiting and using.
Please note that this list is not exhaustive but is simply a concise statement of what we primarily want to be and do. Neither should any great significance be given to the order of the list, as each of the aspirations are of great importance to us.
## **Government**
The policy and operating decisions of the charity rest with the Trustees who meet regularly to monitor the activities of the Charity. New Trustees are recruited and appointed by a majority of existing Trustees.
## **Trustees responsibilities**
Charity law requires us, as Trustees, to prepare financial statements for each accounting year which give a true and fair view of the state of the charity and its income and expenditure for the year. We are required to
- Make suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.
- Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
- State whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts.
- Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is Inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy, at any time, the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The trustees confirm that the accounts comply with current statutory requirements and those of the charity’s constitution.
## **Financial Review.**
The total income for the full financial year 2020 was £188,333 with a total expenditure during the same period of £179,036. The total expenditure included full employment costs of £38,442 for 3 staff (full-time Youth Pastor, part-time Church Administrator and part-time Cleaner) and an annual retainer of £31,691 for the full-time Pastor. There was also a net cost of £4,700 to support an intern placement for a student from South West Youth Ministries.
The income was made up of £170,084 in the General Fund (of which £23,451 was restricted), £10,158 in the Building Fund and £8,091 in the Coffee Shop.
The Building Fund expenditure for the year was £10,590 being professional costs associated to the next phase of development of the George. This is ongoing and no formal timetable for the implementation of the development has yet been agreed. No building work took place due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Coffee shop closed in March due to Covid-19 and didn’t fully re-open in this financial year. A barista was taken on. The total expenditure for the year for the manageress was £8,970 and 3,645 for the barista. The coffee shop incurred a deficit of £9,645 due to having to pay fixed costs whilst having no income due to Covid-19.
Members giving of £13,829 was made during the year 2020 in support of Missionary and Evangelistic work. £2,460 was given in support of three UK activities, and a further £11,369 was divided between six overseas activities. Details of these donations are in accordance with the Charity’s Constitution.
In 2018 a fund was set up to help with local needs (called Transforming Lives). In 2020 a total of £20,116 was received, and £12,836 distributed. There is a balance carried forward of £7,280. This is ongoing and is continuing to increase significantly.
## **Review of Activities.**
This year saw the imposition of Government regulations on 23th March as a result of Covid-19 measures. The results of this changed the way MCF was able to operate and continue its activities. It also saw a rise in demand from the community for a number of services and we were able to adapt to meet this demand.
## _**Church Activities**_
For the first two and a half months of the year, activies within the fellowship and its outreach with the community continued as in 2019. Services continued to be held on a Sunday morning in our two venues, the Gospel Hall and the function room of the George. Each venue held services led by a Worship Band with the speaker’s talk given in the Gospel Hall and streamed over to the function room and shown on a large screen. A third Sunday morning service was held bi-weekly; this was a café style service held in the coffee shop at the George so that families with younger members of the church could worship before service before going off to be involved with other activities in the community. Evening services continued in the Gospel Hall. Partway through regular Sunday morning services, children and the youth left for separate activities. These consist of a supervised crèche for children aged 0-3 years; Kidzone for the 4 to 10 age group and Lazers for the senior school year groups, aged 11 to 16.
Youth plus continued to provide bible teaching and discipleship for two groups, 10-13- and 14–18year-olds on Sunday Evenings during this period. A programme of social activities took place on Friday evenings for church and non-church members (Oasis).
The nine house groups, which provide weekly opportunities for bible study and discussion as well as social activities, were also into their annual programme.
Sunbeams is a regular opportunity for children and parents of pre-school age to meet regularly in the Shore Room of the Gospel Hall building with the number of parents from the local community attending during this period continuing to show the value of this work.
‘Young at Heart’, a monthly social event for the older members of the Fellowship, was also just beginning its annual programme. Some of the men of the Fellowship continued to meet over coffee as a forum for discussion.
The Girls’ Brigade and Boys’ Brigade met regularly in January, February and March using the church buildings as their base. The church provides the leadership of these groups plus the chaplains of both organisations. The groups were well attended by both children from the church plus nonchurch members from the local community.
The lockdown forced us to adapt these important activities. Church services for the rest of 2020 moved to a regular pattern of you tube services with a bi-weekly ‘Zoom’ communion service followed by break out groups via zoom. These services not only enabled the us to continue worship but also to give us continued fellowship albeit via a screen. As many activities as possible were moved online; Kidzone continued via zoom every week as did youth work during the strictest lockdown measures. During the summer period when there was slight easing of restrictions, youth work within the community continued outdoors as an essential service. House groups also continued to meet via zoom wherever possible as did Boys’ Brigade. For those where online meeting was not possible, e.g., Sunbeams, Young at Heart, a temporary halt has had to be called on their activities.
The Global Missions Team continued to lead our support to a variety of causes and individuals involved in spreading and living out the Gospel in other countries. This work continued to support organisations that work with communities in difficult circumstances, the persecuted church, plus families and organisations working overseas. The quarterly collections were able continue throughout the year but other events, such as the annual Tear Fund quiz and fellowship meal had to be cancelled.
The support and training of the SWYM’ worker (South West Youth Ministry) continued this year until the designated end date at the end of August.
Retreats including one for the for the leadership team and trustees were able to be held virtually.
The Puppet team were able to provide some outdoor performances during the run-up’ to Christmas although opportunities for this outreach was limited.
The volunteers from the Pastoral team have had an invaluable work in supporting members and others in our community who experienced difficulties through the pandemic. Shopping for those who could not get out themselves was a particularly important activity undertaken by our volunteers. This became even more important if there was a change of circumstances such as bereavement, ill health, loneliness and frailty associated with old age when other support may not have been available. The need for these services continues to increase and we are grateful to our volunteers for the hours they spend providing for these needs.
Sadly, many of our other planned activities for the year had to be postponed or cancelled. We used the opportunity of the Gospel Hall closure for a group of volunteers, in line with regulations, to refurbish much of the building. This included repairs to the roof, a new, expanded kitchen, with new decorations and flooring throughout much of the building.
## _**Associated activities.**_
MCF continued to have strong links with other churches in the area. But many of the usual activies such as regular prayer meetings and ‘pulpit swaps could not happen this year.
MCF continues to be a member of The Evangelical Alliance and of Partnership UK.
DBS clearance continues to be kept up to date by our Child Protection Co-ordinator and Recruiters as some aspects of our youth work was able to continue as an essential service.
## _**Community**_
Although the covid-19 pandemic created a lot of issues in the local community, the Martock Christian fellowship was able to give prayer, time, financial and other resources, and practical support to those who needed help. Immediate help was needed and our resources were used to respond. This included large demands on the ‘Transforming Lives ‘fund and the Lord’s Larder food bank. We administer the ‘Transforming Lives’ fund which involves providing members of the community with an urgent need a small sum of money to help. As unemployment increased in the community there was a large demand on this fund. Equally, the loss of jobs meant that people were more dependent on the food collected and distribute from The George building of the church. We responded to requests from requests passed on to church members (e.g. the leader of Sunbeams); other requests came from the local community organiser with whom we have developed a good
working relationship. Our work has been well received in the community building on the respect and reputation we have in the area for the work that we do.
The coffee shop, when able to be open, continued its role as an important point of interaction within the local community. It operated on three days a week with a committed group of volunteers assisting the manager in providing a friendly space for people to meet in a very attractive, wellmaintained environment with high quality drinks and food. It was thought important to open the coffee shop whenever possible because of the environment it provided for people to see others in a properly and appropriately covid-safe environment. As well as its regular use, the coffee shop was used before the covid-19 restrictions for the early morning Sunday service and by the Friday night Oasis group.
Arches Xtra continues to support marginalised young people in Martock. A mobile catering unit, which is taken to the recreation ground, is staffed by the youth pastor, the SWYM worker when she was still in post and other volunteers as they reach out to youngsters. These services continued wherever possible as an essential service to local vulnerable and disaffected youngsters who often lack parental guidance.
One of our members collected unwanted laptops and tablets, repaired and updated them and installed apps and programmes so that the laptops could then be used by local families and especially school children who were struggling to access the school curriculum through the lack of a computer. Requests came to us via our members, the Transforming Lives scheme and local schools.
Our buildings continue to be an important space for the community; they were be used on a regular basis before the covid regulations by groups such as Slimming World, Pilates and the local Foster group. It has not yet been possible to re-open the premises to these groups.
Some aspects of our community involvement had to close during the lockdown period particularly the work with local schools and youth club. Assemblies to the local schools by members of the church in association with two other Martock churches were able to restart with the local schools when open via zoom.
## _**The Year ahead:**_
Although planning for the year ahead is difficult as we do not know when and how quickly and when we can resume more of our normal activities, we continue to have a passion to work with the local and wider communities to support where necessary and bring the Good News to as many as possible.
The lockdown has slowed down our plans for instigating a Church plant in a neighbouring community but we hope that this venture will develop more in the coming year.
Work will continue with plans to continue the development of The George, including essential work to safeguard the building. The plans include additional facilities and space in The George to meet the needs of people in our community.
We aim to be open to the people in need in our community and be able to respond as appropriate whether it is though prayer, financial support or practical help.

## **Independant Financial Report**
## **For the year ending 31 December 2020**
I report on the accounts of Martock Christian Fellowship for the year ended 31 December 2020, which are set out on pages 2 to 10.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
## It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner's report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Martock Christian Fellowship**
## **Independent Financial Report**
## **For the year ending 31 December 2020**
I report on the accounts of Martock Christian Fellowship for the year ended 31 December 2020, which are set out on pages 2 to 10.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner's report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- a. • to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
- b. • to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
- have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
