TRUSTEES' REPORT

The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of Ridgeway Community Church (the charity) for the year ended 31 August 2022. The Trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the charity comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charity's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP). The charity has opted to report under the provisions of the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (FRSSE).

Structure, governance and management

a. CONSTITUTION

The charity is a CIO (Charity Incorporated Organisation).

b. METHOD OF APPOINTMENT OR ELECTION OF TRUSTEES

The management of the charity is the responsibility of the Trustees who are elected and co-opted under the terms of the Constitution.

c. ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE AND DECISION MAKING

The charity is administered by the church Elders. All the Trustees (excluding the Treasurer) are Elders. The Elders meet monthly with additional meetings being arranged as and when required. The Treasurer is responsible for administering the financial resources of the charity on a day to day basis. In this task he is assisted by two Assistant Treasurers, one for each congregation. The Assistant Treasurers are not Trustees of the charity.

d. EMPLOYEES

The church employed 8 people at the balance sheet date (prior year 6), two full-time, the rest part-time. Two Trustees are also employees, these are the pastors responsible for each congregation (Wallingford and Didcot). Employed trustees work as full-time pastors and are paid for that service. This is permitted under the CIO governing document. The salaries paid to the two pastors are only for their pastoral duties and do not include any payments in respect of their being trustees of the Ridgeway Community Church. Two part-time employees are the wives of trustees. It is confirmed that no employee received a salary in excess of £60,000 for the year.

Part-way through the year we transferred our Didcot Youth Worker to a new charity set up in partnership with other churches in the area to co-ordinate youth work in Didcot (Charity number: 1194345). The Youth Worker was seconded back to the church for part of his time and also carried out other duties for the new charity. Invoiced costs for the work done for Ridgeway Community Church were reported as 'professional services' as he was no longer an employee.

The church established a remuneration committee, made up of two trustees and two ordinary members, including an HR professional. This committee meets annually to set church employee remuneration and to discuss and approve any interim pay changes or the pay levels for new roles.

The charity relies heavily on volunteers who do much of the work in supporting both the church and our work with the community. The trustees gratefully acknowledge this, without our volunteers the charity would not be able to function.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued)

Objectives and Activities

a. OBJECTIVES

The principal object of the charity is the advancement of the Christian religion and the relief of those in need, in accordance with the teachings of Jesus Christ. The Trustees declare that they have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit and are satisfied that the charity fulfils the criteria. This is considered in more detail in the next section.

b. ACTIVITIES FOR ACHIEVING OBJECTIVES

(including consideration of public benefit)

The charity functions as a church, holding services each Sunday (open to all) and serving the local community via the Fountain Community Hub, Beacon Youth Project, the Community Fridge and various community groups. In addition we support Wallingford Street Pastors, the CAP debt advice centre, the Wallingford Food Bank and the Didcot Youth Trust.

In person services were restarted at the end of July 2021 per government guidelines. Since then we have seen attentance gradually grow as people felt more confident meeting in groups and we are now back at or above attendance levels seen before the pandemic. Several new families joined during the pandemic and it has been good to meet with them in person now and welcome them properly to the area.

The Fountain Bookshop was closed in the prior year due to lockdown restrictions, during this time it was repurposed into the Fountain Community Hub, providing a commercial grade kitchen and attached coffee shop / meeting area. In its first full year of operation this has been a very successful venture. Many local groups now use the facility as well as individuals who drop in when in need of company. Food and drink is provided without charge, but guests are invited to make a donation if they wish to.

The Community Hub has been able to enhance the church's youth work in the town. School students who struggle with academic school life are supported to work in the coffee shop and learn work skills. This has been a lifeline for these students and has resulted in real employment opportunities with other employers. The Community Hub has inspired both local businesses and other charities to offer financial support for this work. Despite this and the donations of users, the church injected money to cover a deficit of about £9k on the first year of operation. We see this as a worthwhile use of charity funds.

Use of the church building by local charities and organisations having been closed down during lockdown has been slowly recovering. Not yet back at pre-Covid levels, it is nonetheless good to see increasing use of the space by community groups, other charities and local businesses.

The war in Ukraine has been a major feature of 2022. A number of families in the church are hosing Ukrainian refugees. The church gathered a collection of £5.7k which was sent for war relief via Operation Mobilisation. The charity has also orgamised meetings of individuals in other churches who are supporting Ukrainian refugees in the area enabling social connections and a joined up approach.

The charity continues to support various overseas charities both financially and with leadership guidance. These include Pastors in India, Jews for Jesus (Germany) and the Message Trust (South Africa). The charity also supports CAP (Christians Against Poverty debt counselling service), both financially and with volunteer staff. A full list of external giving is provided within the accounts.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued)

c. RISK ASSESSMENT AND POLICIES

The church maintains written policies on:

Risk assessments are carried out on both the church building owned in Wallingford and the facilities we rent for the Didcot congregation. An Accident Book is maintained and health and safety issues are timetabled for discussion at Trustees meetings.

The contents and obligations of the Equality Act 2010 and the 2018 General Data Protection Regulation are known and complied with to the best of the charity's ability. The charity is aware of its responsibilities in respect of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in its requirement to carry out a fire assessment to identify any possible dangers and risks, to take action to minimise the risks and to create a plan to deal with any emergencies, and also to write up and keep a record of its findings and to review its assessment annually. The charity has appointed Timothy Sugar (Centre Manager) to be the responsible person to put these things into operation.

There is a Protection Policy in place in respect of children and vulnerable adults. Checks have been and are made with the Disclosure and Barring Service in respect of persons dealing regularly with young people and vulnerable adults. The appointed officer for this is Quillon Harpham (Trustee and Elder). All those who work with children are required to attend CCPAS (Churches' Child Protection Advisory Service) training.

Whilst it is impossible to eliminate all risks and their consequences, efforts are constantly made to minimise such occurrences.

Financial Review

a. RESULTS

The accounts of the charity are presented in the following pages. Activity Income has increased as the church has continued to grow. The figures seem to show a decline since 2020/21 but this is because of a special collection and grant income to fund the conversion of the Community Hub last year. This equates to around £68k of the prior year income. We have also seen recovery in income streams that were impacted by the pandemic (building rentals, Community Hub income). Overall income is healthy and on a growing trend.

Spending levels fell during periods of lockdown but have now bounced back as the charity moves back into normal operations. The hiring of venues for the congregation in Didcot is a significant cost as are our staff costs. With our new Didcot pastor in place the congregation in that town is growing very fast. There is considerable need in the communities we serve due to the fallout from lockdowns and the mental health toll that has inflicted. We see the need to employ further resources especially in youth work and probably also in admin to free up those with pastoral responsibility. So we expect costs to continue to grow as we seek to deal with the past impacts of Covid and look to the worries that the cost of living crisis is now bringing on top of that.

The charity heads into these uncertain waters in good financial health. The bank balance at £85k is above the level we are required to keep per our reserves policy and we are looking at where the need is greatest to invest this.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (continued)

b. GOING CONCERN

The charity was able to work through the major shock of the pandemic, including the closure of many of our acitivities. Looking back on it after the event, it shows the robustness of the charity finances and income streams. The trustees have confidence in classifying the charity as a going concern.

c. INVESTMENT POLICY AND PERFORMANCE

No investments are held by the charity at the reporting date.

d. RESERVES POLICY

The charity reserves policy is to aim to maintain reserves at around 3 months worth of spending. Currently this would amount to about £64k. At year end the total bank balance is £85k. The charity plans to use this excess of reserves to invest in community support as outlined above

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

The charity is in discussions with a local business to partner with them in the teaching of English to Ukrainian refugess in South Oxfordshire. We expect to be able to communicate more fully on this opportunity in next year's report.

As explained in the financial review, we see considerable need in the local community due to post-Covid mental health issues and the current cost of living crisis. We are actively looking at how best to meet these needs with the current expectation that we will need to expand our staff team.

The trustees are grateful that due to the on-going support of the church members, we are in a position to invest in additional staff time and activity to support those in need, both in our church membership and the local community.

Note 2 Accounting policies 2.2 INCOME

This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity except for those ticked "No" or "N/a". Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below.

Recognition of income

These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when:

There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102.

Offsetting

Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP).

Grants and donations

In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP).

Legacies

Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met.

The charity has received government grants in the reporting period

Government grants

Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise.

Tax reclaims on donations and gifts

Contractual income and performance related grants

This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions.

Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so.

Donated goods

The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution.

Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'.

Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable.

Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable.

Donated services and Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of facilities the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably. Donated services and facilities that are consumed immediately are recognised as income with an equivalent amount recognised as an expense under the appropriate heading in the SOFA. Support costs The charity has incurred expenditure on support costs.

Deferred income
No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts.

service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SoFA once the
recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.
Grants payable without
performance conditions
Where there are no conditions attaching to the grant that enables the donor charity to
realistically avoid the commitment, a liability for the full funding obligation must be
recognised.
Redundancy cost
The charity made no redundancy payments during the reporting period.
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost
categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, e.g. allocating property costs
by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.

criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP) and are included as an item of other
income in the SoFA.
Investment gains and
losses
This includes any realised or unrealised gains or losses on the sale of investments and
any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the
