The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the accounts and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland published in October 2019.

Trinity Life Church is an Assemblies of God Church of hundreds of people from dozens of nations meeting in 8 campuses around the City of Leicester. Our heart is to love God passionately and love people extravagantly.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Trinity Life Church is an Assemblies of God church in Leicester. In the early 1950's after some powerful miracle meetings in Leicester a small number of mostly new believers formed a new church. Miracles were at the foundation of TLC and they still are. A couple of years later we were able to purchase a few houses destroyed during the second world war and through the people's generous giving to build our first building on Upper Tichborne Street. Giving and generosity have been part of our journey and they still are.

There have been four leaderships in the church's history: Howard Pearson, Pastor Botham, Brian Niblock and David and Susan Hind. Unity has been at the heart of the church throughout our history and we continue to celebrate our unity today.

In 2007, after 25 years of faithful leadership from Brian and Marje Niblock, TLC was a strong, mission hearted church and the senior leadership was sensitively transitioned to David and Susan Hind; both couples continue to walk in honour together to this day. Fifteen years later, David and Susan would say that serving TLC as leaders continues to be one of their greatest privileges in life. Today we are a family of hundreds of people, from nearly 60 nations, of all ages and backgrounds. Every person is deeply valued and we have walked through this year together.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Official Objectives

  1. TO ADVANCE THE CHRISTIAN FAITH IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE STATEMENT IN SUCH WAYS AND IN SUCH PARTS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM OR THE WORLD AS THE CHURCH LEADERSHIP FROM TIME TO TIME MAY THINK FIT.

ACHIEVEMENT, PERFORMANCE AND FUTURE PLANS

- Open Hands Compassion Charity

Open Hands continued its amazing work among the poor of Leicester and throughout 2021 we have developed an aspirational and welcoming Compassion Centre for the city on the edge of St Matthews Estate. through extensive support from Trinity Life Church alongside generous gifts and support from other churches and charities we were able to open in December.

- Oak Centre/Pre School/Six Degrees

Open Hands/ TLC's Preschools and Coffee Shop have been run with passion and commitment despite many challenges and changes and all have been blessed with amazing staff and volunteers and favour.

- All Nations Church Leicester

Following discussions and after a challenging season for them, we began to walk alongside All Nations Church Leicester. It has been our joy and privilege to bring leadership and the church has begun to regain its confidence and to grow again. In February 2022 the decision was made for the two churches to become one and the legal process began. This is a very exciting season in our church life.

It has been an amazing year and though we have faced many challenges, God is good. We are excited to see the next phase of our journey. Our best days are ahead. Amen

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The accounts on pages 9 to 26 summarise the income and expenditure during the year ended 31 December 2021 and the state of the Church's affairs as at 31 December 2021. Once again, income and expenditure were closely monitored.

Reserve policy

The Trustees have reviewed the reserves of the Church. They concluded that the policy is to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the Church, at a level of approximately £104,000, which equates to at least three month's expenditure. The Trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the Church's current activities whilst consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. The Trustees define their free reserves as being total unrestricted current assets less current liabilities. Free reserves at 31 December 2021 were £155,720.

We maintain restricted reserves amounting to £37,255 at 31 December 2021.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document

TLC is controlled by its governing document Memorandum and Articles of Association incorporated in 19 July 2019, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

David and Susan Hind are the Senior leaders of TLC bringing leadership, vision and management.

Trustees/Directors are responsible for finances, policies and procedures, integrity and excellence. Our Trustees/Directors in 2021 were Colin Jewitt - Chair, Brian Niblock, James Prestwich and Rev D Hind - and secretary Rev J A Prestwich. Sarah Hickman is the Finance Manager.

Elders are responsible for overseeing the doctrine of the church, the pastoral care of the people and what God is saying.

The Senior Leadership Team are responsible for leading all of the central ministries and administration centre alongside buildings and equipment.

Campus Pastors - oversee the running and advancement of their part of TLC and the pastoral care of the people in their campus.

There are various other leadership teams within other areas of church life nursing the smooth running and development of our ministries.

Our Vision Statement is...

"We are a Jesus centred, Word and Spirit Church made up of men and women, young and old, rich and poor from every nation. We keep His commission and message central. We believe nothing is impossible for God. We are led by Godly, accountable, senior leaders, elders and staff. We empower 100's of TLC people to be and make disciples. We love God passionately and love people extravagantly."

To put it simply:

Although we love being together as one church, we now meet in 8 campuses rather than a single congregation. Every campus has Campus Pastors and a team who lead.

Why campuses?

We felt His call to spread out to the left and the right - Not to simply stay in one place even though at times this would have been much easier.

We didn't want TLC to become simply about the senior leaders - we wanted to empower a wider team.

We didn't want to become purely front led - we love excellence but also many in leadership.

We wanted to release more leaders who built teams - Currently 53 leaders make up our leadership team in the 8 sites.

We wanted to impact local communities...To be more missional...

We wanted to allow the gifts of spirit to be used publicly.

Trinity Life Church Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 December 2021

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

Trinity Life Church is a private company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is given in the charity information on page 1 of these financial statements.

The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland issued in October 2019, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

The charity receives government grants in respect of Job retention scheme. Income from government and other grants are recognised at fair value when the charity has entitlement after any performance conditions have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. If entitlement is not met then these amounts are deferred.

For legacies, entitlement is the earlier of the charity being notified of an impending distribution or the legacy being received. At this point income is recognised. On occasion legacies will be notified to the charity however it is not possible to measure the amount expected to be distributed. On these occasions, the legacy is treated as a contingent asset and disclosed.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Church equipment - 15% on reducing balance

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities. Expenses are inclusive of VAT where applicable.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds represent mission income and can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Government grants

Government grants receivable in relation to job retention scheme and retail scheme are recognised as income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to compensate, on a systematic basis. Government grants are shown separately as other income.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

Debtors and creditors receivable/payable within one year

Debtors and creditors are stated at transaction price.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and cash on deposit.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
