WILLESBOROUGH BAPTIST CHURCH, Hythe Rd, Willesborough, Ashford, Kent. TN24 0QR Registered Charity Number: 1173803 The Trustees present their Annual Report and Financial Statement for 2020.

Aims and Purposes

Willesborough Baptist Church (WBC) is governed by an Approved Governing Document which states that the principal purpose of the charity is the advancement of the Christian faith according to the principles of the Baptist denomination to include the advancement of education, community service and such other general charitable purposes in such parts of the United Kingdom and the world as the Church shall determine.

The Church occupies premises which are held by the Baptist Union Corporation Ltd on Trust which are entirely compatible with the above objective.

Objectives and Activities

Our aim is to show the love of Jesus Christ in both word and deed and to bring people into a closer relationship with Him as living Lord. We are passionate worshippers of God who love Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. We are committed to His teaching and way of life and seeing new believers come into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour.

The Church provides a variety of activities both to its membership and to the community generally.

Central to the work and witness of the Church is the provision of regular public services of Christian worship. Our main service takes place each Sunday at 10.00 a.m. There are also occasional services at other times which are advertised in the church notice sheet and the church website at www.willesboroughbaptist.church. In 2020 we have broadcast services at 10:30 via Livestream on YouTube and Facebook to accommodate COVID-19 restrictions.

Our Messy Church service is held every second Saturday of the month from 3.00 to 5.15 pm. This is based around crafts for all the family, a short 15-minute service and a simple meal at the end. More than 50 families attend and with church helpers the numbers often exceed 70. Many families attend regularly, which is most encouraging, and we continue to reach new families each month. Since April 2020 however we have been unable to open Messy Church as a result of the COVID19 pandemic but intend to do so once government restrictions make this possible.

We continued our objectives of regular Bible teaching, encouraging spiritual growth, pastoral care and community involvement in many different areas.

As a result of COVID-19 the Church actively supported the community by distributing food parcels, shopping for people and delivering prescriptions to those who were unable to do these things for themselves. We have also provided cooked meals, Advent boxes and Christmas gifts for local schools and families in need.

There is a full children’s programme during the morning service and as with the normal service the church developed new modules that could be offered online whilst we were unable to meet personally due to COVID restrictions. The Church seeks to be a friendly and welcoming community and anyone is free to attend any of these services. We have seen a number of new people connecting in with our online services over the last year.

The Church’s regular activities as below, were suspended once COVID restrictions came into force in April 2020 –

Activities that continued -

Despite COVID restrictions we launched the following additional services for the benefit of the church family and the community it serves:-

The Church has a thriving work amongst children with an Ofsted-registered and inspected PreSchool four days a week from 8.30 a.m.to 4.30 p.m. (A registered Charity in its own right as 1175202 - Willesborough Baptist Church Pre–School). The current Ofsted rating is good. The Pre-school closed during the month of April and May 2020 as a result of COVID and offered a range of activity ideas that could be accessible at home during lockdown. It opened again June 1st for all children.

The Pre-School employs 11 staff.

All of these activities are also advertised on the Church’s website www.willesboroughbaptist.church

The Church operates safeguarding systems to ensure that all people working with children and adults at risk are appropriately vetted through the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).

Our Church is satisfied that the activities outlined above clearly demonstrate that the charity is providing a benefit to the public with particular regard to the new Charity Commission guidance.

Achievements and Performance

The Church does not measure the success of its programmes only in numbers, including financial numbers, but also in less tangible areas like fellowship and encouragement. The Trustees recognise that these are difficult to measure but believe that 2020 was another very positive year in the life of the Church. This, despite all of the constraints imposed upon us because of COVID and the consequential additional challenges on the church resources, both human and financial. It is expected that it will be able to pursue its mission purposes in 2021 with renewed enthusiasm and a greater appreciation of our calling as we seek to live out our Vision.

As at 31st December 2020 the membership stood at 161.

Local and County Councillors are enthusiastic about the positive part that the Church has played, and continues to play, in the life of the community of Willesborough and are also willing to provide assistance and enablement in the Church’s work and ministry. Members of the church also serve as volunteers in other local charities.

Organisational Structure and Decision-making Processes

Members of the Church are accepted in accordance with the Constitution which states that the Church has open membership so that both persons who have been baptised in the manner described in the Baptist Union’s Declaration of Principle and also those who have not been so baptised may, at the discretion of the Church Members’ Meeting, be accepted for full membership.

The Members’ Meeting normally takes place three times per year and has responsibility for the overall policy of the church. In accordance with the Constitution, the members appoint Trustees who are responsible for the day-to-day running of the Church’s work and witness and the financial and legal aspects of the charity. All Members are encouraged to take an appropriate part in the spiritual and practical tasks involved in the furtherance of the charitable objective.

Relevant matters may be submitted to the Church meeting by the Trustees for guidance or may be raised by Members attending the Church Meeting for further consideration by the Trustees. Although the Constitution permits decisions to be made at Church Meetings by appropriate majorities, the Church seeks to work by consensus wherever possible.

In July 2020, the church published a Staffing Review proposing an increase in the staffing and recruitment of another Pastor. This was agreed at the Church Meeting held in October. The church appointed a PT Team Manager for the community Café in November and a PT Operations Manager in December.

The process to call a second Pastor also began.

Other changes in October saw Robin Wise, Bernice Steele, Roger Edwards Miles Moore, Ron Ashman, Roger Whiteley, Ben Smith, Barry Casse and Terry Golding stand down as trustees and Anne Reid stand down as Trustee and Treasurer. Christine Ross and Tim Perks were voted in as Treasurers and Paula Verlinden and Ben Oliver were made Trustees, making 6 Trustees including the pastor Mark Hirst and Keith Gwilym who were already trustees.

Financial Review

The Church continues to raise the funds which it needs to carry on its activities from within its own membership and congregation. No wider public appeal was made for funds during the year. The Church expressed its part in the life of the wider church by making grants to national and international Christian organisations and societies with Christian aims and objectives compatible with the Church’s own charitable purpose.

The Church is heavily dependent on its membership working as volunteers in all aspects of the Church’s activities, many of which run with little or no impact on the Church’s expenditure but nevertheless contribute substantially to the achievement of the Church’s objectives.

The financial results for the year, are set out in the accompanying financial statement.

The Church has taken advantage of its inability to open due to Coronavirus restrictions and undertaken significant maintenance and reconfiguration of its premises. Significant work has also been undertaken to enable Livestreaming of Services and the opening of the Community Café The Well.

The Trustees have established a Reserves Policy and are satisfied that they have sufficient reserves at the Balance Sheet date, together with ongoing income anticipated, to enable the Church to function effectively in the coming year.

The Trustees have made an assessment of the major risks facing the Church and are satisfied that there are policies in place to minimise these risks.

The Trustees confirm that they have regard to the Commission's public benefit guidance when exercising any powers or duties to which the guidance is relevant.

Report of the Independent Examiner(s) to the Trustees of Willesborough Baptist Church Charitable Incorporated Organisation 1173803 On the accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2020

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

The Church’s Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The church’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:

• to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and

Basis of independent examiner’s statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the church and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

• the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
