New Life Community Church Loughborough TRUSTEES' REPORT
for the financial year ended 31 March 2024
General Overview
This was a year of large change as, after 14 years, our pastor decided it was time to leave, moving overseas for missionary work. This has obviously left a large gap, and we have begun searching for our next pastor. There has been some interest but no major progress so far. We are trusting in God to provide the right man at the right time.
In the meantime, our leadership team consists of one elder and three deacons who continue the task of taking the church forwards. We have benefitted from many visiting speakers on Sunday mornings as well as drawing on internal people. We continue our links with other churches in the Loughborough and Shepshed area and are grateful for the support we have together.
Our work within the community continues through a number of ministries. The Parent and Toddler group remains very popular with relationships between parents developing and friendships being built. Some of the group have met occasionally for social evenings. There is a dedicated core of volunteers committed to running the weekly sessions which recently had 23 adults and 33 children at one session.
Other ministries prove really valuable in meeting a community need whilst enabling confidence and growth through volunteering and friendship. Some volunteers are members of other churches which inspires such work in other areas. We have recently seen volunteers help who are part of training programmes for ministry enabling vital experience whilst developing the next generation of leaders.
We provided our annual free Christmas lunch, entertainment and Christian witness for those whom we have had contact throughout the various ministries, bringing together a wide cross section of our community needing support.
The church attendance continues to transition, with a regular core of members and those who worship with us, alongside visitors.
Loughborough Area Foodbank
Foodbank parcels are distributed based on a voucher system. The vouchers are issued by partner referral agencies. Each emergency food parcel given to a family household is designed to provide enough food for three days.
During 2023/24 the Foodbank helped a total of 5,664 individuals (2023: 5,991) by fulfilling 2,053 vouchers (2023: 2,131). There were 612 unique households (2023: 569).
Our foodbank manager left us this year, along with our family worker. Other members of staff have stepped up to the role of managing the foodbank, but the reduction in staff meant we have had to put our involvement with the "Acts 435" scheme on hold for the time being. The trustees wish to thank both members of staff for their service during their time with us.
A number of changes were made during the year to increase operational efficiency while also meaning more time is made available to speak with clients and assess their needs. Whilst only just started, the evidence shows that this is starting to having a good effect.
Loughborough CAP Debt Centre
During 2023/24 the debt centre was able to provide help to 23 clients (2023: 32) of which 4 went debt free (2023: 4). We have been able to run the CAP Money course to help clients handle money and budgeting even though they may not actually be in debt. Another member of staff has been able to train up as a CAP debt coach to help share the load in this vital work.
Mental Health support
We employ a mental health worker to work alongside and support the other church ministries. They work primarily but not exclusively with clients who use the foodbank and debt help services and are struggling with mental and emotional health issues. Some one-to-one support is provided alongside a 12-week group course from Kintsugi Hope that covers topics such as depression, stress, anxiety and loneliness.
We are grateful to the NHS "Getting Help in Neighbourhoods" project for grant funding to enable this important work to continue.
Property
The church has its own building at 2 De Montfort Close, Loughborough, LE11 4RL.

Restricted funds
During the year the church closed the restricted funds for the Acts 435 project and Ukraine relief.
The trustees make a decision each year on an appropriate amount to transfer from some restricted funds to use for general church expenditure, for example insurance, building heating and lighting, and minibus running costs, where these are used by the respective projects. This amount was increased this year in respect of a large repair bill for the church minibus, used extensively by the foodbank.
Associations and partnerships
The church is a member of the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches (FIEC), a non-denominational association of over 600 churches in the UK with similar beliefs and a common cause.
The Loughborough Area Foodbank is supported by the Trussell Trust.
The church debt centre is run in partnership with Christians Against Poverty.
Our mental health support groups are run in partnership with Kintsugi Hope.
Policies
The following policies are held by the church:
-
Safeguarding
-
Health and safety
-
Data protection
-
Equality
-
Social media
Grants and finances
During this year we are grateful to have received so many donations and grants which has enabled our church projects to continue. These include the following (* indicates central or local government funding):
-
Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches - £25,000
-
*Leicestershire County Council (Household Support Fund) - £28,000
-
NHS (Getting Help in Neighbourhoods) - £17,972
-
Tesco - £375
-
Trussell Trust (Strategic Resources) - £18,000
It is becoming increasingly difficult to raise funds and we are very grateful to those who regularly donate to our work, especially individuals. We are looking to find ways of making more grant applications, but the number of grants available for ongoing work (rather than starting new projects) seems to have diminished. The trustees are considering the implications of this and trying to find the best way forwards with all the projects that are having such benefits to the local community.

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;

New Life Community Church Loughborough NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the financial year ended 31 March 2024
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
New Life Community Church Loughborough is a charity incorporated in England. The registered office of the charity is 2 De Montfort Close, Loughborough, Leicestershire, LE11 4RL, United Kingdom which is also the principal place of business of the charity. The financial statements have been presented in Pound (£) which is also the functional currency of the charity.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the charity’s financial statements.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland FRS 102", applying Section 1A of that Standard.
As permitted by the Companies Act 2006, the charity has varied the standard formats in that act for the Statement of Financial Activities and the Balance Sheet. Departures from the standard formats are to comply with the requirements of the Charities SORP and are in compliance with section 4.7, 10.6 and 15.2 of that SORP.
Statement of compliance
The financial statements of the charity for the financial year ended 31 March 2024 have been prepared on the going concern basis and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland FRS 102", applying Section 1A of that Standard.
Fund accounting
The following are the categories of funds maintained:
Restricted funds
Restricted funds represent income received which can only be used for particular purposes, as specified by the donors. Such purposes are within the overall objectives of the charity.
Unrestricted funds
Unrestricted funds consist of General and Designated funds.
□ General funds represent amounts which are expendable at the discretion of the board, in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.
□ Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that the board has, at its discretion, set aside for particular purposes. These designations have an administrative purpose only, and do not legally restrict the board's discretion to apply the fund.
Income
Income is recognised by inclusion in the Statement of Financial Activities only when the charity is legally entitled to the income, performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, the amounts involved can be measured with sufficient reliability and it is probable that the income will be received by the charity.
Income from charitable activities
Income from charitable activities include income earned from the supply of services under contractual arrangements and from performance related grants which have conditions that specify the provision of particular services to be provided by the charity. Income from government and other co-funders is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to the income because it is fulfilling the conditions contained in the related funding agreements. Where a grant is received in advance, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, it is accrued in debtors.
Grants from governments and other co-funders typically include one of the following types of conditions:
□ Performance based conditions: whereby the charity is contractually entitled to funding only to the extent that the core objectives of the grant agreement are achieved. Where the charity is meeting the core objectives of a grant agreement, it recognises the related expenditure, to the extent that it is reimbursable by
11

New Life Community Church Loughborough NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
for the financial year ended 31 March 2024
the donor, as income.
□Time based conditions: whereby the charity is contractually entitled to funding on the condition that it is utilised in a particular period. In these cases the charity recognises the income to the extent it is utilised within the period specified in the agreement.
In the absence of such conditions, assuming that receipt is probable and the amount can be reliably measured, grant income is recognised once the charity is notified of entitlement.
Grants received towards capital expenditure are credited to the Statement of Financial Activities when received or receivable, whichever is earlier.
Expenditure
Expenditure is analysed between costs of charitable activities and raising funds. The costs of each activity are separately accumulated and disclosed, and analysed according to their major components. Expenditure is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, a transfer of economic benefits is required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be reliably measured. Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but cannot be attributed to one activity. Such costs are allocated to activities in proportion to staff time spent or other suitable measure for each activity.
Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost or at valuation, less accumulated depreciation. The charge to depreciation is calculated to write off the original cost or valuation of tangible fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives as follows:
| Land and buildings freehold | - | no depreciation |
|---|---|---|
| Fixtures, fittings and equipment | - | 25% straight line |
| Motor vehicles | - | 25% reducing balance |
Debtors
Debtors are recognised at the settlement amount due after any discount offered. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due. Income recognised by the charity from government agencies and other co-funders, but not yet received at financial year end, is included in debtors.
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand comprises cash on deposit at banks requiring less than three months notice of withdrawal.
Taxation and deferred taxation
No current or deferred taxation arises as the charity has been granted charitable exemption. Irrecoverable valued added tax is expensed as incurred.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events have occurred at that date that will result in an obligation to pay more tax in the future, or a right to pay less tax in the future. Timing differences are temporary differences between the charity's taxable profits and its results as stated in the financial statements.
Deferred tax is measured on an undiscounted basis at the tax rates that are anticipated to apply in the periods in which the timing differences are expected to reverse, based on tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
3. PROVISIONS AVAILABLE FOR AUDITS OF SMALL ENTITIES
In common with many other charity of our size and nature, we use our auditors to assist with the preparation of the financial statements.
