WESTBURY PARK ECUMENICAL PARTNERSHIP TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Introduction

The Trustees have pleasure in presenting their Report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021. The Trustees have adopted the provision of the Statement of Recommended Practice (FRS102 SORP) Accounting and Reporting by Charities’ in preparing the Annual Report and financial statements for the charity.

Objectives and activities

The objects of the Charity are the advancement of Christian faith in the area of benefit in accordance with the principles and practices of the participating churches which are St Albans Church and Westbury Park Methodist Church.

The activities of the Charity are: the celebration of public worship; the provision of occasional offices (baptisms, weddings and funerals), the teaching of the Christian faith; mission and evangelism; pastoral work including visiting the sick and the bereaved; the provision of facilities with a Christian ethos for the local community including the elderly, the young and other groups with special needs; and the support of other charities in the UK and overseas.

The ECC is responsible for the maintenance of all church buildings and property. It cooperates with the Ecumenical Minister in promoting the whole mission of the church and consults jointly with her on matters of general concern and importance to the church. The ECC has various committees which meet as necessary. It also sets up working groups to consider particular items of business.

The Board is aware of the provisions of the Charities Act 2011 concerning public benefit, the guidance published by the Charity Commission on this subject and the obligation to report on ways in which they believe Westbury Park Ecumenical Partnership meets the public benefit requirements established by the Act. Fuller details of the Charity’s objectives and activities undertaken in support of these objectives will be found in other sections of this report.

Achievements and performance

The ECC are keen to offer a variety of different sorts of worship during the week and over the course of the month and year that our community find both beneficial and spiritually fulfilling. All are welcome to attend our services.

2021, like 2020, was significantly affected by the continuing Pandemic. We again suspended worship during the lockdown of January to March, and we re-opened on Palm Sunday. We continued to provide online worship, as well as DVDs, CDs and Telephone service so we were accessible to as many of our congregation as possible. Our preschool (White Tree) continued to be open during this time, as was Harcourt Preschool who hires one of our rooms, and from February, we allowed the Gamblers Anon group to meet again as essential support groups were allowed to meet.

From April 12[th] the many children’s groups who hire our spaces were allowed back and from May 17[th] many adult groups were allowed to return. All groups had to submit Covid Risk Assessments before they could use the building.

Our worship in person was limited to one service on a Sunday which was Holy Communion (our online worship alternated between Holy Communion and Morning Prayer) and from Easter Sunday we started to sing the final hymn in the car park. When in church, the congregation were socially distanced in their household bubbles. We were able to have communion in one kind – but could not sing. We continued to request that people wore masks and sanitised their hands. The choir was able

WESTBURY PARK ECUMENICAL PARTNERSHIP TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

to sing in services in decreased numbers from May (6 adults). As restrictions eased, the choir increased in size, children returned to the front row and the amount of choral music increased. The congregation sang outside until September – it was good to sing outside and know that our local community could hear the singing. Sunday Club returned fortnightly from May 9[th] but numbers of children have remained low for much of the year. From September we started to sing 2 hymns in the service and sang in church although the congregation still wore masks, and the congregation was able to join in with the mass setting too. It was lovely to have in person Harvest, Remembrance and Christmas services this year. Social Distancing was encouraged all year, but gradually those who were happy to sit with others were able to. Even when we met in person we still provided online services on the website/YouTube, disks but we discontinued the phone line as no longer meeting a need. We experimented with livestreaming services but that proved problematic so we now record the 8am service and upload that to the website for 10.15am.

During this pandemic our Pastoral Leaders Scheme has continued to show its importance. As the pandemic progressed they have maintained regular contact with the people on their lists and it has been very much appreciated. It has been a priority to ensure those in our congregation and those attending our groups (MAF, Lunch Club, Junior Choir etc) have been cared for. In September the monthly Lunch Club restarted and then MAF restarted – but now meets monthly rather than weekly.

An important part of our ministry are our Small Groups. In Lent in 2021 we ran a couple of Lent Groups using material on different forms of prayer from Gloucester Diocese. There was a daytime and an evening group, both run on Zoom. Outside of Lent the regular Housegroup continued on Zoom (and will continue to run on Zoom as its members prefer it) using material from The Bible Project. We have been studying a book of the Bible every week or so. From September the Breakfast Group that meets between the 8am and 10.15am service restarted and has been much appreciated.

In recent years we have had Ordinands from Trinity on placement with us – both for June (when Ordinands are attached to a different church for the month) and full time (when they are with a church for 2-3 years). This year we had Ryan (in his 3[rd] and final year), Dan (in his 3rd year but 2[nd] year with us) and Hannah (in her final year, but 1[st] year with us) and Lizzie joined us in September and will be with us until 2023. We consider it important to be able to support their training for their future roles in the church as ordained ministers and they also contribute a lot to the life of the church here in Westbury Park.

At the end of the revision of the Electoral Roll in May 2022 there were 121 people on the Church Electoral Roll 66 of whom are not resident within the parish. There were also 10 people in membership of the Methodist Church. The average weekly attendance, counted during October, was 80 in person, and 30 online plus disks, but this number increased at festivals.

As well as our regular services, we enable our community to celebrate and thank God at the milestones of the journey through life. Through baptism we thank God for the gift of life, in marriage public vows are exchanged with God’s blessing and through funeral services friends and family express their grief and give thanks for the life which is now complete in this world and to commend the person into God's keeping. Thankfully Baptisms returned from July and we did 3 Baptisms in 2021, and all the funerals we officiated at were at the Crematorium – the Ministers did 7 and then we had a Thanksgiving service in the Church following one of the funerals. We also managed to celebrate 3 weddings this year.

WESTBURY PARK ECUMENICAL PARTNERSHIP TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

We are part of the Bristol and South Gloucestershire Methodist Circuit and also the Diocese of Bristol.

The Church in Westbury Park is blessed with 2 sets of fantastic buildings both of which are open and available for the public to use every day of the year. We let our buildings to a huge range of community groups so closing our buildings for much of this year had a very big impact on our income. We have not needed to carry out any major repairs this year. We have continued to make progress towards our objective of reordering the back of the church. This year we worked hard to raise the funds needed to re-purpose the old caretaker’s house at 6 North View – including a Sky Dive by the Vicar, Emma Langley, and Churchwarden, Linda Talbot. We formed a sub-committee of interested people to move the project forward. We plan to use it to house a Refugee Family under the government’s ‘Community Sponsorship Scheme’. We have applied for grants so we can refurbish it and had significant success in having them granted. Maintaining such buildings remains a financial challenge but we are committed to them because of the opportunities they afford us and the benefit that they provide to the local community.

Reaching out to our community remains a priority but it has continued to be a challenge this year due to Covid. It has been good to be able to restart our groups for the elderly, and the detached youth work project and preschool have continued when allowed to by the regulations. In September we were pleased to relaunch our Toddler group by linking up with a local restaurant who have provided excellent cakes at cost price. This has been very successful and up to 200 families have now come at least once, with a core of families coming most weeks.

Financial review

Total income of £256,958 was £40,651 (over 18 %) higher than in 2020. The main reason for this was the lifting of the pandemic restrictions and being able to hire out our buildings again. We were also fortunate to be eligible for Covid Discretionary grant this year. However, despite the success of the Parish Giving Scheme and the one-offs the general trend is still downward.

Total expenditure of £225,290 was £1,447 (0.5%) lower than in 2020. We have been determined to try and reduce expenditure where possible in recent years.

The grant making policy of the charity is to give away 5% of our annual income to charities and mission organisations which are proposed by the Church and Society Committee and decided upon by the ECC. There are 4 charities chosen each year - one historic Anglican or Methodist mission organisation, one national charity, one local charity and one charity working internationally. We will often seek to prioritise smaller charities with which we can have a meaningful relationship. In addition, we support Wi’am every year - this is a charity which offers conflict resolution in the occupied West Bank. These 5 charities receive 1% each of our annual income. In addition, we organise events and make collections for these and other charities such as Christian Aid and DEC appeals.

At this time the Trustees do not have a reserves policy. We feel that at this stage to establish a reserves policy would be an impediment to raising our giving levels and would adversely affect our fundraising. We will continue to keep this under review.

As at 31 December 2021 the charity’s free reserves were £197,318. The Trustees are satisfied that the Charity has sufficient funds to allow the accounts to be drawn up on a going concern basis.

5

WESTBURY PARK ECUMENICAL PARTNERSHIP TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

The law applicable to charities in England & Wales 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 income and expenditure of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

The trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient 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 Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed/constitution. They 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (FRS 102 SORP) issued in July 2014, and applicable UK Accounting Standards and the Charities Act 2011.

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

The Charity is a public benefit entity.

b) Income

Income from donations is included when these are receivable, except as follows:

i) When the donors specify that the donations given to the charity must be used in future accounting periods, the income is deferred until those periods.

ii) When donors impose conditions which have to be fulfilled before the charity becomes entitled to use such income, the income is deferred until the pre-conditions have been met.

Donated services and facilities are included at the value of the Charity where this can be qualified.

c) Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to that category. Expenditure includes attributable VAT that cannot be recovered.

Governance cost include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charity, and include its independent examination fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charity including trustee expenses.

Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if the award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the ECC.

d) Investments

Investments are included at market value at 31 December. The SOFA includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluations and disposals during the year.

e) Debtors

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

f) Creditors

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 discounts due.
