St Cleers Chapel

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 5 April 2025

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 5 April 2025. 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).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The charity is an independent Christian church that is affiliated to the Evangelical Alliance (EA) and the Partnership Group of Churches. On 1st January 2018, in view of the planned redevelopment of the building, and increasing numbers of employees, 'St Cleers Trust' was transferred to 'St Cleers', a charitable limited company.

On June 15th, 2019, the Leadership Team had an away day to consider St Cleers Chapel Mission and Vision Statements specifically. While St Cleers Chapel evolved from Open Brethren beginnings, those who gather for worship of God, the teaching of Bible based Christian doctrine and fellowship of believers, come from differing denominational backgrounds or none. The Leadership felt the chapel needed Mission and Vision statements that reflected more closely the spiritual, social, and practical benefits offered by a contemporary Christian church. This was then presented to the Trustees and church membership and adopted as the foundational basis of St Cleers Chapel in September 2019.

Objective - Vision Statement

The Leadership team sought to define the purpose of St Cleers Chapel in a simple but all-encompassing statement. 'Sharing Jesus: Sharing Life'

Aims - Mission Statement

To fulfil the Vision Statement, three routes were identified that each had three areas to encourage the spiritual, practical, and serving application of biblical Christian living, in the church and in the wider community.

Reaching Out: - Making Mission a priority - Challenged to serve our community - Being good neighbours

Being Part of It: - Dynamic prayer and worship - Applying God's word to our lives - Commitment to one another

Pressing On: - Responding to God's call - Practicing our gifts - Serving wholeheartedly

Services and meetings are held to worship God, to teach Bible based Christian doctrine, for the fellowship of believers and to welcome all comers to share in the spiritual, social, and practical benefits associated with a contemporary Christian church.

Central to the role of the charity is a holistic view of the Christian gospel, which also seeks to relieve practical need wherever possible in the course of its activities, meeting with persons not necessarily active members of the church but who need a helping hand.

The charity receives gifts from members and supporters but does not appeal for funds from the general public. However, small grants have been applied for and allocated from outside charitable trusts towards facilitating the building project. A small supplementary income is received in the form of donations offered by community groups using the church facilities. A local firm, IJT, makes a contribution for the weekday use of the carpark by their employees.

Safeguarding

Safeguarding training for both children and vulnerable adults continues to be maintained through appropriate external providers, with regular updates in line with statutory guidance.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 5 April 2025

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Church Orientated Activities

Sunday Services

During the extensive building works, the chapel moved services on a Sunday to West Street Church, Somerton but returned to St Cleers Chapel during July 2023. Following the return to the chapel, the main Sunday service runs from 10:30am to 11:30am. Some of these services are available to view following the service via our own website www.stcleers.org or Youtube. We have continued throughout to greatly benefit from Richard Cole's consistent, gifted preaching, plus that of a number of guest preachers.

Mission Group

This group has not been functioning since the death of Dr A Webb in October 2023 although it is the intention to reinstate the Mission Group as soon as possible. However, Mission support has continued via one off payments to Loving Actions; The Lord's Larder; Makers Place; Tear Fund; Counties Evangelists; Martock Christian Fellowship - Transforming Lives.

"Not Just for Ladies" Meetings

This group's name was amended to include those who wish to fellowship on a Thursday afternoon with singing, Bible readings and a talk from a visiting speaker. They enjoy refreshments at the end of the meeting. During the building work this group has been able to continue meeting in the Barn.

Youth Work

This restarted in April 2024 with a group for Year 7 and above youngsters. This met weekly on Friday evenings, with a programme including semi-organised games and activities, with a short devotional 'God slot' to finish.

Family and Children's Worker

Provided by Mrs. Linda Sambell, this is now an established role within St Cleers that seeks to maintain and broaden contact with parents and children (0 to 10 years of age) in the community who have connections to St Cleers, through regular church attendance, community outreach groups and events initiated by St Cleers, or through CTIS (Churches Together in Somerton). We aim to provide pastoral, practical, and spiritual guidance as an outcome of a relational understanding of families' needs and situations. (See Y Church and Toddler Group)

Y Church

With the return to St Cleers Chapel, the children participate in the main service on Sunday morning for the first 15 minutes and then leave for their own activities and worship around a theme. After a short time together, children separate into age-appropriate groups for further activities.

Home Groups

A number of adults attended one of four established groups who have begun meeting in homes for study and prayer during the week.

Prayer Groups

There are three regular prayer groups that meet through the month, for specific purposes including chapel pastoral needs, grandchildren and the situation in Ukraine.

Men's Breakfasts

Our bi-monthly Saturday breakfast gatherings at St Cleers Chapel for men across the local community restarted, and have been running two monthly since then with a wide variety of speakers.

Music

We enjoy live music performed at the chapel on a Sunday morning by a variety of musicians working on a rota basis.

Pastoral Work

The pastoral team, led by Mr Justyn Maynard, one of the Leadership Team, continue to support people with a range of needs.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Ecumenical Cooperation

The relationship between all the churches in Somerton remains warm with good cooperation and support for each other, and now also on a more formal basis, with two monthly meetings at St Michael's Vicarage.

Alpha Course

The Alpha Course is an established outreach at St Cleers and run once or twice a year. Once completed, this is followed up by further Bible study courses designed for those new to the Christian faith

Social investments

Toddler Group

Bump to Five (as the toddler group is known as) continues to thrive and meet every Friday morning during term time. This is led by Linda Sambell with a number of helpers, familiar to regular attendees. Our usual activities include "ride on" toys, music, puppets, crafts and special services at Easter, Harvest and Christmas, as well as our annual sports day, local farm visit and Christmas party in December

Youth and Children's Work

During the year, a Friday night Youth Group for children in Year 7 and above was started. Archies Extra, a group meeting on a local sports field once a week, provides hot drinks and chat with youngsters.

Day Centre (St Cleers Friendlies)

This activity has not reopened since the pandemic.

Coffee and Company

Coffee and Company was set up to support vulnerable members of our community, providing nourishing food at a nominal cost, plus support to those who attended. It also allowed lonely people the opportunity to make new friends. It has gradually increased its activities and makes good use of the premises.

Community Kitchen/Warm Hub

Following a government initiative, St Cleers set up a Warm Hub as a warm place to meet during the cost-of-living crisis during and following the pandemic. The initial idea was to teach families how to cook nutritious meals together, alongside providing a hot meal to them and other members of the community. However, it became apparent that there was a greater need to provide a hot meal and company for the many people in our community who live alone or are lonely, so the Community Kitchen concentrates on this now.

Guides

We have three different groups of brownies/guides using the Chapel premises during the week for their meetings.

Website

St Cleers has its own website, www.stcleers.org, which is regularly updated, and which contains information about the church, its personnel, and meetings, together with recordings of previous sermons.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Property, Facilities and Assets

Improvement, Repair and Development of Facilities

As long ago as 2015, the catalyst being the poor physical state of one of the roofs of the chapel, and to meet the changing needs of the chapel, the Leadership Team initiated a plan to refurbish and extend the Chapel. Another local church, West St Chapel in Somerton, very kindly offered St Cleers Chapel the use of their building for Sunday services, for the duration of the rebuilding, for which we were very grateful. The refurbishment was started in January 2022 using a local building firm, J Symes and Son, and a Cardiff-based architect, Hiraeth Architects. The work was largely finished by July 2023, when the church was able to reoccupy the building, being finally signed off in early 2025. Grants of about 9% of the final costs were received from both local and national charities, but the remaining 90% was raised by the enormous generosity of members of the chapel, meaning that the whole project had been fully paid for by the time the chapel was reopened

Fixed Assets

The register is updated on a rolling basis and reflects the current value of assets at the time the Trustees' report is submitted. Values are adjusted on either straight-line depreciation or variable declining balance as appropriate to the individual assets. The property in Polham Lane, Somerton remains the chief asset with an insured value of £2,776,278 in 2025. Non 'Real Estate' assets in the chapel and Portacabin are insured for £82,738, the Portakabin building £45,890, making the total insured sum £2,894,906.

Accounts

The attached accounts give details of Receipts and Payments during the period ended 5 April 2025. The Trustees are most grateful to the Church Treasurer, Mrs Linda Sambell together with Jeff Bailey and Martyn Hornby, for their hard work and diligence. The charity continues to enjoy sound finances solely due to the generosity of members of the chapel who remain very supportive.

Reserves Policy

St Cleers Chapel has been a small, straightforward, well insured charity with no mortgage on its property and no significant liabilities. They approached a large rebuilding project between 2021&2023 with care, the Trustees being aware of their responsibilities for good financial governance of this. The project was fully paid for by the time the building was reopened. The Trustees seek to maintain sufficient reserves to enable the charity to operate for three months in the absence of income. Trustees remain confident that St Cleers Chapel Ltd will be able to live within its means, has not potentially overstretched itself in future plans, and expends funds in a manner commensurate with its stated objectives.

Investment Policy

The charity has no investments per se; monetary assets are held on deposit and kept under review for the most advantageous interest terms.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

The charity is a registered charity governed by a constitution adopted on 13 April 1993 and amended on 8 February 1999. On 31st December 2017, it was transferred to a charitable company, St Cleers Chapel 1170400.

Trustees and Leadership Team

The Trustees and the Leadership Team are appointed by unanimous resolutions of their respective boards and subsequently commissioned during a Sunday morning service. The Trustees' board includes six members, only one of whom is now on the Leadership Team as well. Using Zoom, the Trustees met as a full board with the Leadership Team 4 times during 2024/25, and the Leadership Team's managing committee met once a week. A quorum on either board consists of a simple majority of members attending the meeting. These minuted meetings are usually augmented by occasional "away days" when the church Leadership Team considers in depth the state and direction of the church. Our annual church business meeting, open to all church members and giving the opportunity for anyone there to raise issues of concern, was held on 26th March 2025, with updates on all aspects of the church, including the current financial position.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Recommendations for Deacon appointments may be made by any church member; these are subject to approval by the Leadership Team and new deacons are commissioned in a Sunday morning service.

Safeguarding Leads

An annual Church Business Meeting provides an open forum for all church members..
