## **Achievements and performance** 

Review of 2021 church ministry: 

Since the Covid pandemic started from 2020, LAC continued to conduct the Sunday services and fellowships online in 2021. Various physical activities we had before such as dinner gatherings, student camp, church outing etc. were stopped. As the situation changed around mid-year, the government relaxed the rules by increasing the numbers of people who could meet outdoors. Therefore individual meetings and outdoor gatherings (within the legal limits allowed by the government) were resumed. 

Around the beginning of Autumn, Mandarin and Cantonese fellowships started physical meetings in church. Physical Sunday services were resumed starting in August. In order for the services to run smoothly and to protect the attendees, we set up an online registration system and published health & safety measures on our website. Besides, we organised a cell group in March specially for the Hong Kong migrants arriving in Leeds, the cell group was named ‘Jireh Fellowship’ by the end of 2021. 

2021 Church Ministry Report: 

- The Church's Annual theme in 2021: “Connect to Christ; Build up each other” 

- We focused on the“Book of Numbers”. However, some fellowships had their own choice of books or topical bible study. 

- New Believers' Training Course was introduced in March and November respectively to help build up spiritual life. The former had 7 sessions, the latter 8 sessions. In total there were 3 participants. 

- ‘Membership Transfer Seminar’ was organised on 6th & 10th of March for those who were interested in joining LAC. The aim was to inform them about the details of transfer. 

- In March, a cell group was set up to minister specifically the Hong Kong migrants arriving in Leeds. The online meeting was held only once in March, then twice monthly in the following months (on 2nd & 4th Sunday evening). 

- The Annual General Meeting was held on 25th April. Members agreed to adopt new church constitution template and submitted to Charity Commission for approval. 

- From early June to mid July, “Small Group Bible Study Leader Training” was carried out on 4 successive Monday evenings. 

- Given the rule for the maximum number meeting outdoors was relaxed, we organised a trip to Temple Newsham Park at Leeds on 28th August bank holiday weekend. 

- On 9th October we arranged a Revival Seminar 2021 titled “Why are you in despair, O my soul?” via Facebook Live. Dr Lawrence Ko from The Alliance Bible Seminary was invited to share the message. 

- In-depth study of “1 Thessalonians” and “2 Thessalonians” were conducted on four successive Friday evenings (8th, 15th, 22nd & 29th October). 

- Two Christmas Carol events as well as giving out gospel leaflets were organised on 8th & 11th December near the chinese supermarkets around university & city centre. Our target audience are mainly Chinese. Pastor Paul and a few people from Blenheim Baptist Church also joined us on 11th December. 

- With most of the congregation members have been vaccinated, and given the covid restrictions had been eased by the government due to lower risk compared to that of 2020, some fellowship members had organised home visits before Christmas.

## _**Pastoral Staff**_ 

Minister-in-charge: Rev. Lawrence Chai Ming Cheung, pastoral staff employed by CACUUK in July 2019, is the minister-in-charge of the Church in 2021, responsible for leading the church ministries as well as administrative work, preaching, leading bible studies, Sunday school, and fellowships. 

## **Looking forward** 

## _**Pastoral Work**_ 

- 2022 Church Annual Theme : “Build each other up in love, together bear witness to outsiders” 

- Focus on the study of the Book of Psalms. Some fellowships will decide their own study materials based on their needs. 

- Hong Kong migrants started to join physical Sunday service regularly. They will be invited to serve and grow together with the existing congregation. 

- Despite maintaining covid precautionary measures, festive evangelistic dinners will be organised if the situation allows it. 

- Pastoral sharing re serving the church prior to deacon meeting. 

## **Financial review** 

2021 is again a challenging year where we have to adapt and learn to live with COVID. We do praise our Lord for the provision and the generosity of all our brothers and sisters and our mission partners for the donations over 2021. 

General Fund: The total income was £23,383 of which £6 was interest received on the gift aid claim, and donations received of £23,377. Expenses were £37,948, which includes internal transfers of £24,659 and £942 to Personnel and Mission fund, respectively.The net outoings of General Fund for the year were (£14,565) with an accumulated balance of £46,454 at the end of year. To reduce the risk of COVID transmission, we have stopped collection when we returned in person service in August, instead we have asked all donations to be made online. Unless stated otherwise, all online donations have gone into General fund. 

Personnel Fund: A total of £40,767 was received over 2021, of which £360 was received from offering, £24,659 from General Fund internal transfer and the remaining £15,748 was donation from our mission partners. Expenses of £34,210 were recorded in 2021. The accumulated balance at the end of the year was £7,288. 

Property Fund: £120 was received from the offering this year. There were no outgoings in Property Fund. The accumulated balance at the year end was £90,615. 

Mission Fund: The total donation received was £1,015 which includes an internal transfer of £942 from General Fund, with expenses of £2,503 in 2021. In 2021, we have contributed Chinese Alliance Churches Union (UK) [CACU (UK)], student fellowship and local missions. The accumulated balance at the year end was a deficit of (£146). 

Charity Fund: There are no incomings and outgoings. The accumulated balance remains as £194 at the year end. 

We have instructed Fox Jennings Cullen Accountants & Business Advisers to prepare the 2021 financial report of Leeds Alliance Church.

## **Trustees' Report** 

## _**Reserves policy**_ 

The Reserves Policy for the Church is to hold a minimum sum equivalent to 3 months' average expenditure which is broadly equivalent to £5,000. This should be sufficient to meet any unforeseen item of major expenditure on the assessment and to be able to continue, in the short term, funding planned activities in the event of any inability to raise the funds from the giving of the church. To achieve this, Leeds Alliance Church will aim to put £1,000 per year into reserves from income until that level is achieved. 

## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities** 

The trustees (who are also the directors of Leeds Alliance Church for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations. The report and accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions in the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies. 

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable UK 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 charitable company will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of Leeds Alliance Church ("the Company")** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2021. 

## **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 Leeds Alliance Church 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** 

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 Leeds Alliance Church 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.

Donations are recognised when the charity has been notified in writing of both the amount and settlement date.

## **Expenditure** 

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Depreciation is provided on tangible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, less any estimated residual value, over their expected useful economic life as follows: 

## **Asset class** 

Fixtures and equipment

## **Purposes of restricted funds**
