Additional governance issues (Optional information)

The charity is a Local Ecumenical Partnership (LEP) of the five founding denominations: the Baptist Union, the Church of England, the Methodist Church, the United Reformed Church and the Society of Friends. In 1990 the original LEP expanded to include the Roman Catholics who remain in association with the LEP. It was a charity linked to Shared Churches Ely until 2016 when it reregistered in its own right. The church buildings are owned by Shared Churches Ely Ltd but all maintenance is the responsibility of the Charity. The arrangement is governed by two Sharing Agreements dated 1976 and 1990.

You may choose to include additional information, where relevant, about:

An appointed trustee is responsible for the church buildings but day to day they are managed by the Church Centre Manager who reports to the Lay Moderator. The Centre Manager is the main point of formal contact of the Church with users, hirers and local agencies. Supported by a small property committee, the manager administers daily property matters (bookings, cleaning etc.) and coordinates use of the buildings.

Section C Objectives and activities

To advance the Christian faith in the area of benefit in accordance with the principles and practices of the participating churches. In achieving its purpose, the charity will engage in a range of activities, either on its own or with others, including (but not restricted to):

Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document

Having regard to the Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion we see our mission to be: “As servants of Christ, we commit ourselves to worship, work and witness together in his name to establish his kingdom in our village and beyond.” [Church Profile 2011] As a community that is open to God and everyone in our surrounding villages, we organise services for adults, children and young people on a regular basis, following a pattern of traditions and styles richly resourced by material from our founding denominations and in keeping with our ecumenical roots. We also enable our communities to celebrate and thank God at the milestones of their journeys through life. Through baptism we thank God for the gift of life, in marriage public vows are exchanged with God’s Summary of the main blessing and through funeral services friends and family express their activities undertaken for the grief and give thanks for the life which is now complete in this world and public benefit in relation to to commend the person into God’s keeping. This work is supported by these objects (include within our pastoral team who make prayer chain offers and provide prayer this section the statutory support to anyone requesting it. declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance There are normally regular activities organised by Bar Hill Church for the issued by the Charity benefit of its members and surrounding villages. For example, a Holiday Commission on public at Home for senior citizens, where they can participate in art, craft and benefit) musical activities over three days at Easter. The building is normally widely used for community activities such as an art and craft group, a community market, a pre-school children’s group, several uniformed groups and our local school. It is also often the venue for local concerts and for various conferences, as well as one-off commercial and community organisation hire on occasions. Helping those in need and contributing to the wider community is a demonstration of our faith, and the Church also supports the regional activities and missionary work of our founding denominations. Unfortunately, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, many of these activities plus any new initiatives to widen public engagement were put on hold for at least part of 2021, but many have been delivered in new and different ways.

Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

Services of worship have been held on every Sunday, along with a small number of weekday services throughout 2021. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, those services have been delivered through a combination of Zoom-only services, or through hybrid worship, with attendees both in person and on Zoom. These hybrid services have progressed in content and complexity as the year has progressed and the Church has become more adept at worshiping in this way. As such, when the new Omicron variant arrived towards the end of the year, it was a straightforward process to temporarily revert to online Zoom-only services whilst we assessed the impact. Before reverting to Zoom-only, we were able to hold two wedding ceremonies, a harvest service in October and an annual Remembrance Day Service in November, with the largest congregation we had seen at that point since the pandemic began. The village carol service was filmed and published on YouTube in December; and a new socially distanced Christingle Trail was held outside. After missing out in 2020, we also resumed the tradition of distributing Christmas cards to every house in the village. As usual, these contained a greeting and list of services over the Christmas period. The Church has been very aware of the impact that the pandemic has had on its congregation, in particular the inability of some members to be able to attend online services. Therefore, the Church has looked to open for either hybrid services or private prayer wherever practically possible but has needed to balance this with ensuring it is doing so in a safe and secure way, particularly given the aging demographic of our congregation. We have therefore taken a fairly cautious, carefully considered approach to the opening of our buildings during the different phases of the pandemic. The Octagon Online newsletter, which started during the pandemic, continues to be published monthly on the Church’s website. The Annual Congregational Meeting (ACM) was held on Zoom in May, once again using the online voting system that had been created the previous year for the Church Leadership Team nominations. Safeguarding for all remains a priority for the church as a whole. In the last year, the church has progressed to the highest level of safeguarding practises recommended by the Church of England. We continue to use the online dashboard system to guide us with all our tasks and job list. As usual, all DBSs are up to date, as now is all safer recruitment. All church activity groups now have role descriptions for those in a leadership role and risk assessments for church activities are also now written. It was not possible to hold Holiday at Home, due to the nature of the activity and the timing of this being during the third nationwide lockdown. Similarly, the summer Holiday Club was once again cancelled. Several other groups have met where possible, depending on the different levels of restrictions in place. There has continued to be an active homegroup programme, with five groups meeting either regularly or sporadically throughout the year, mainly online, although sometimes in person as and when the rules have allowed. The Church had planned to run another Alpha course; however, this has continued to be postponed. Whereas most adults adapted (relatively) easily to worship on Zoom, for children whose school lessons were also online, holding church online

did not work so well. Therefore, we re-started in-person KidZone as soon as was practical as restrictions began to ease. The Nativity Scene project opened up links with the school and we were privileged to lead some outdoor Christmas assemblies and then be invited back to lead Easter assemblies. Before the pandemic we had about 7 children attending KidZone regularly; we now have up to 21 youngsters taking part, with ages ranging from a few months to teenagers.

At the beginning of the first lockdown, the Church took the lead in creating the Bar Hill COVID-19 Support Scheme, which became a community organisation (led by the church) with street patrols checking if residents were ok, providing food shopping, prescription delivery, mental health first aid, a food bank (supported by, but separate to the Trussell Trust), Citizen Advice Bureau (CAB) style advice on a multitude of problems and telephone befriending for the lonely. During 2021, this transformed into a Community Hub, run one morning a week, where people can go for a cup of tea or coffee, collect a food pack, receive CAB style advice and Mental Health First Aid support. The Community Hub launched in September 2021, and has continued to grow, now including a Parish Council Surgery once a month, a Health and Wellbeing Group twice a month and plans for a Carer’s Café. A lot of planned maintenance work during 2020 was postponed due to the closure of the buildings and the inability to hire contractors, however as lockdown rules eased during the different phases of the pandemic, we have been able to undertake several key pieces of work, including repairing the Octagon roof, replacing the double glazing in the toilets, and fixing the church bell. We have also completely refurbished one of the smaller rooms of the main building, renamed ‘The Lounge’, 100% funded by donations. As part of the Community Hub project, the church also extended its W-Fi coverage to include the Octagon building. Finding contractors willing to quote, however, has remained a challenge and there is still outstanding maintenance work to complete. Due to the anticipated large building maintenance costs required to take place in future years, the giving of 10% of our regular income to charitable causes has unfortunately remained suspended during 2021.

Section E Financial review

The Trustee’s policy is to maintain at least three months of Brief statement of the unrestricted/general funds, circa £30,000 (based on non-pandemic charity’s policy on reserves expenditure), to meet operational variations in minor repairs, invoices, salaries and direct debits plus an additional sum for major repairs. It is the Treasurer’s opinion that although our reserves are sufficient for general operating costs including minor repairs, they are not currently sufficient to completely cover several identified major repairs. Details of any funds materially None in deficit

TREASURER'S STATEMENT

I have prepared the financial statements on pages 1 to 11 for the year ended 31 December 2021 from the accounting records of the church.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (Effective 1 January 2019) ‐ (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the financial reporting standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

Bar Hill Ecumenical Church meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).

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

The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts and liabilities within the next reporting period.

FUND ACCOUNTING

General Funds: may be used by the church for any of its ordinary purposes.

Designated Funds: unrestricted funds set aside for specific, designated purposes. They can be transferred back into general funds.

Restricted Funds: represent income which may be expended only on those restricted objects provided in the terms of a trust or bequest, or donations or grants received or invited for a specific purpose. These funds can only be spent on the specific purpose for which they were given. Any balance remaining unspent must be carried forward as a balance on that fund for future expenditure on that specific purpose, or returned; it cannot be absorbed into general funds.

Sub‐accounts: are cash floats, managed by church groups.

At the year end, budget holders report on transactions during the year. Income and expenditure within the sub accounts are reported gross. Transfers from the sub account are absorbed into general funds but closing balances are carried forward as a balance on that sub account.

See notes 1 to 3 on page 8 for reports on these funds. Values are rounded to the nearest £.

INCOME

Incoming resources are recognised in the year in which the charity is entitled to the receipt, and the amount can be measured with reasonable certainty. Income is only deferred when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor has specified that the income is to be expended in a future year.

EXPENDITURE

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates.

DEBTORS

Trade debtors and other debtors are recognised at their settlement amount due after any discounts. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discount due.

CREDITORS AND PROVISIONS

Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
