Yeovil Community Church

Trustees' Report

The trustees present the annual report together with the financial statements and auditors' report of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021.

Structure, governance and management

Yeovil Community Church was registered as a charitable incorporated organisation and is governed by its document dated 10 November 2016. The registered company number is CE008148. It is also a registered charity with the registered charity number of 1170106.

Yeovil Community Church Trust (charity number 1039903) instructed solicitors to transfer its activities and assets to the CIO on 1 July 2017. This year it was decided by the Trustees of the Trust that this charity would be dissolved. Whilst reviewing the Trust, it was discovered that the land registry paperwork had not been completed in full. This is being treated with urgency and as a matter of priority in partnership with the solicitors who were originally instructed. The legal transfer of the activities and assets to the CIO occurred on 1 July 2017.

Reference and administrative details including the principal office address and details of trustees who served the charity during the period and up to the date of signing are shown on page 1 of the financial statements.

Trustees are appointed in accordance with the Governing document. Formal trustee training is provided on an ad hoc basis as required. All strategic decisions are taken by the trustees in partnership with the ‘Strategic Team’ which includes staff members, but day-to-day operating decisions relating to ‘The GateWay’ building and the coffee shop are delegated to staff.

The personnel committee proposes all staff salaries to the full Trustee board for approval. Where applicable, staff salaries are compared to industry average, but this is not always possible due to the role. All staff are considered equally and without prejudice or bias. Any Trustee with a conflict of interest will be excluded for these decisions.

The Trustees continue to review the major risks to which the charity is exposed, covering all identified, relevant areas including financial risk and risks associated with personnel. Risks have been identified, assessed and safeguards have been put in place to eliminate or mitigate such risks as far as is reasonably possible.

Trustees' Report

Objectives and activities

The main charitable objects of the CIO are:

The Church is a body of Christian believers that have been active in Yeovil since 1907. For many years the main focus of the Church’s activity was centred on Preston Chapel, and the group operated with charitable status through that building’s trust deed under the Places of Worship Act.

With a growth in numbers, this building became inadequate, and the body of believers worshipped in a local school hall, although the chapel building remained in use for various church and community activities, as well as serving as the Church’s administrative centre. It became evident that the continued growth in numbers would require a significantly larger permanent building, and in 1994 the Church began fundraising with a view to acquiring such a building for use by the Church and local community. In 1999 a property was acquired, and work started on a complete refurbishment of this building. This work was completed in early 2001 and ‘The GateWay’ building was officially opened on 3 March 2001.

The objects of the Charity are now implemented in a range of activities. These include;

Yeovil Community Church

Trustees' Report

When planning the activities for the period, the Trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance for charities for the advancement of religion. The Trustees believe the activities set out above and further described below under ‘achievements and performance’ clearly demonstrate the charity’s commitment to providing an identifiable public benefit and that access to this benefit is not restricted in any way.

The Charity heavily relies on the contribution of volunteers. The Trustees would like to say a massive thank you to all the volunteers who contribute to the Charity activities. Whilst it has not been measured in hours, the work that is carried out by the volunteers from the Sunday morning production team to those helping with reception, and those who offer to bring an elderly member to our services, is priceless. We cannot thank you enough.

The Charity continues to make gifts to individuals and organisations both in the UK and overseas in line with its objects. Gifts are made on an ad hoc basis, according to need, subject to the availability of funds, and after careful consideration by the Trustees in committee.

Achievements and performance

The Charity has continued to focus on work in pursuance of its charitable objectives. These are;

During this financial year, the Charity was still in recovery from the challenges faced from the pandemic. In March 2020, the Charity had to make significant operational changes. We feel that although the challenges were hard, we believe that we still made significant movement in achieving our objectives during the year. These include;

• We released our debut single from YCC worship ‘You Have Our Hallelujah’ in October 2021. This was written during lockdown and has been recorded by over 30 voices from different homes and settings.

• Sunday morning services were continued on a dual basis, in person and available on an online platform. We completed a series on our 365, mission, values and visions. We feel that this was successful and gave us the opportunity to say who we are and what we want to do.

• Y4F continued to serve the families in the community and provide a full service to the vulnerable members of our community.

• The Coffee Shop reopened its doors to the general public and continued its offering of refreshments as well as a listening ear where one is needed.

• Youth work and children’s work restarted in person. This was delivered on various occasions during the week by volunteers and members of our staff and Create team. This provides safe spaces for children and young people to learn more about Jesus as well as develop in their social relationships.

• Prayer slots were continued in the morning and at lunch time on weekdays for the community to come together and pray for our local community as well as our national and international relations.

Yeovil Community Church

Trustees' Report

• Poppins, a group for small children, continued to support and provide space for families.

• Small groups provided support and community to each other usually in the comfort of people’s homes. These groups allow people to share life experiences, develop faith and offer support.

• The strategy team has expanded and now have a pastoral strategic lead which we feel is important to be a core focus. This is accompanied by a chaplain who provides on the ground support for those who require assistance.

Fundraising events are held on an ad-hoc basis. During our Sunday morning services, we do encourage financial giving in the form of our offering. Some of these offerings have specific purposes and this is openly communicated during the service.

Public benefit

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.

Financial review

The principal funding of the charity is through government grants.

Total income amounts to £1,107,900 (2020: £877,597) as disclosed further in notes 2-5. Total expenditure amounts to £904,061 (2020: £605,187) as disclosed further in note 6.

Cash at bank and in hand at the year-end was £511,791 (2020: £344,854). There were free reserves of £40,809 (2020: £24,349) at 31 December 2021.

The total amount of funds held is £1,465,920. Of these funds, £502,728 (2020: 332,956) are restricted and £963,192 (2020: £929,125) are unrestricted. Of these unrestricted funds, £842,564 (2020: £850,092) are designated. These designated funds represent the net book value of the freehold property.

Policy on reserves

During 2021, a risk assessment was carried out by the finance committee. It was established that the reserves were adequate, but cash held did not reflect desired levels. This is being treated as a priority for the finance committee to review and strategically plan to enable the charity to build a cash reserve that is adequate to complete at least one month of liabilities initially.

A reserves policy has been established and approved by the Trustees to develop the cash and reserves to cover three months of liabilities.

Plans for future periods

Aims and key objectives for future periods

Our online presence will continue moving forward. We believe that this has extended our reach into the community, nationally and internationally. There are many members who have joined us during the pandemic and onwards, and we would like to continue our engagement with them. We will continue to develop these links and find new and innovative ways to communicate, support and encourage whilst through a screen.

We continue to be involved in conversations with regards to a collaborative plan to develop more community space, facilitate greater connection and wellbeing within the community and develop our work amongst the Homeless community. We also continue to look at the potential development of the building among other options that may be presented to us.

Y4F plays a pivotal role in our engagement with families in the community. We believe Y4F is a fundamental part of our strategic plan moving forward and we continue to support this work.

We are looking to release further resources from Yeovil Community Church including worship music. Following our release of music in 2021, we will look to continue this in the future.

Financial instruments

Objectives and policies

The charity’s activities expose it to a number of financial risks including liquidity risk, reputational risk and incoming resources. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the charity’s policies approved by the board of trustees, which provide written principles on the use of financial derivatives to manage these risks. The charity does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Incoming resources

The Trustees recognise that some of our project, particularly Y4F, are heavily reliant on funding from external organisations. There is a risk that the funding ceases and the project can no longer continue or that the funding requirements are not met in terms of timing. To mitigate this risk, we have ensured that all contracts are legally binding and signed by the appropriate people. We are also reviewing our reserves policy as detailed below.

Reputational risk

A significant amount of our income is reliant on members of the public willingly giving their money. If we suffer a reputational issue, our funding is likely to be impacted. To mitigate this risk, we continually review our procedures for safeguarding and other high risk areas. We ensure our staff and volunteers have DBS clearance, where required, and are appropriately trained for their role.

Liquidity risk

There is a risk that not enough money is being received to cover the expenditure or that the timing of the incoming funds is too late for the expenditure. For 2021, the finance team and staff completed a budget to outline all expected income and all anticipated expenditure. We intentionally removed any income that was not guaranteed or highly anticipated and included all expenditure that was needed and wanted for additional projects. All appropriate staff agreed on their proposed budget and any further expenditure had to be agreed by the finance committee or full Trustee board dependent on the amount.

Trustees' Report

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities

The trustees 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 law applicable to charities requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the constitution. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the charity and financial information included on the charity’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Disclosure of information to auditor

Each trustee has taken steps that they ought to have taken as a trustee in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charity's auditor is aware of that information. The trustees confirm that there is no relevant information that they know of and of which they know the auditor is unaware.

The annual report was approved by the trustees of the charity on 31 October 2022 and signed on its behalf by:

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Yeovil Community Church

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Yeovil Community Church (the 'charity') for the year ended 31 December 2021, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow Statement, and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is United Kingdom Accounting Standards, comprising Charities SORP - FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and applicable law (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Page 8

Yeovil Community Church

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Yeovil Community Church

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of our knowledge and understanding of the charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Trustees' Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities (set out on page 7), the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor Responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Page 9

Yeovil Community Church

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Yeovil Community Church

However, it is the primary responsibility of management, with the oversight of those charged with governance, to ensure that the entity’s operations are conducted in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations and for the prevention and detection of fraud.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charity trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and regulations made under section 154 of that Act. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the trustees those matters we are required to state to trustees in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and its trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2021

1 Accounting policies

Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the second edition of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

Basis of preparation

Yeovil Community Church meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant note(s) to these accounts.

Going concern

Due to the continuing effects of the Coronavirus “COVID-19” throughout the year, the trustees have reviewed and stress tested projections and budgets for the next twelve months. Following this review, the trustees consider there to be little impact on the Charity’s ability to act as a going concern.

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

Judgements and key sources of uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Income and endowments

Voluntary income including donations, gifts, legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Donations and legacies

Donations and legacies are recognised on a receivable basis when receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured.

Gifts in kind

Gifts in kind are included in the accounts at the market value i.e the amount the charity would have paid at the date they were gifted.

Investment income

Investment income includes bank interest and is included when receivable.

Page 14

Yeovil Community Church

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2021

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, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

All resources expended are inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Support costs

Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capita, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.

Governance costs

These include the costs attributable to the charity’s compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements, including audit, strategic management and trustees’s meetings and reimbursed expenses.

Government grants

Government grant income is recognised on a receivable basis. Where a restriction is placed on the use of the grant, the amount of the grant is included in restricted funds. Grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for purposes of giving immediate financial support to entity with no future related costs are recognised in income in the period in which it became receivable.

Irrecoverable VAT

Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Yeovil Community Church

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2021

Tangible fixed assets

Fixed assets are initially recorded at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation and amortisation

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 Freehold Land and Buildings Equipment, Kitchen equipment and Machinery Motor vehicles

Depreciation method and rate

over 50 years, land nil 25% reducing balance and over 3 years over 4 years

Stock

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Trade creditors

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Fund structure

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees's discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.

Page 16

Yeovil Community Church

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2021

Designated funds are unrestricted funds set aside for specific purposes at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.

Operating lease agreements

Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged against income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Pensions and other post retirement obligations

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme for certain employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund. Pension costs are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as incurred, and represent contributions payable by the company.

Financial instruments

Recognition and measurement

The charity only holds basic financial instruments as defined in FRS 102. The financial assets and financial liabilities of the charity and their measurement basis are as follows;

Financial assets - trade and other debtors are basic financial instruments and are debt instruments measured at amortised cost. Prepayments are not financial instruments.

Cash at bank - is classified as a basic financial instrument and is measured at face value.

Financial liabilities - trade creditors, accruals and other creditors are financial instruments, and are measured at amortised cost. Taxation and social security are not included in the financial instruments disclosure definition. Deferred income is not deemed to be a financial liability, as the cash settlement has already taken place and there is an obligation to deliver services rather than cash or another financial instrument.
