The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’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: - examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, - 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 - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention ## **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 charity 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 matter has come to my attention 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. J Irvine-Smith FCIE Independent Examiners Ltd Unit 2 The Broadbridge Business Centre Delling Lane Bosham West Sussex PO18 8NF Date: 2nd November 2021 4 **Carlisle Christian Fellowship** ## **Trustees Report** ## **For the Year Ended 31 March 2021** The Trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021. The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the charity’s foundation document and the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) following the option under C25 section133, which allows accounts to be prepared on a receipts and payments basis by certain charities. ## **Summary of the Purposes of the Charity as set out in the Governing Document** The objects of the Charity as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (“CIO”)are, for the public benefit: 4.1 To advance the Christian faith in the County of Cumbria and in such other parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the Charity trustees may from time to time think fit; 4.2 To relieve persons who are in conditions of need or hardship or who are aged or sick and to relieve the distress caused thereby in the said County and in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the Charity trustees may from time to time think fit; and 4.3 To promote and fulfil such other charitable purposes beneficial to the community in the said County and in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the Charity trustees may from time to time think fit. ## **Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit** These were: the Sunday Morning Prayer Meeting and Service; Stepping Stones; House Groups; Man Friday. Each Monday, a group met to clean, decorate and repair the church building, to keep the garden and surrounding grounds tidy and to carry out administrative functions. ## **Public Benefit Statement** The trustees have made use of the guidance available from the Charities Commission. This report is intended to demonstrate that activities of the CIO provide identifiable benefit to the public or a section of the public, including people on low incomes, and that any private benefit occurring is incidental. The CIO responds to needs, enhances lives, provides some education and development, fosters a sense of community, and considers future generations. ## **Achievements and Performance for the period 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021** Due to the coronavirus pandemic lockdown every activity of the fellowship has been suspended as from 22 March 2020, along with that of every other church in the country.

Groups are Gems (crèche), Pebbles (pre-school and reception), Boulder Gang (primary) and Cornerstone (secondary). Oversight was by Ruth Smithson. ## **(B) House Groups** There have been a number of changes in the past year Pat and Ben, John and Sheila’s, and Sheila Buxton’s house group have stopped meeting permanently. Due to covid restrictions the groups have not been able to meet as normal. A couple of the groups have occasionally met following the government guidelines and met more regularly via Zoom. All the groups have continued to give pastoral oversight to their members. The elders really appreciate the amount of time and work the leaders have put in during this difficult time. The elders are looking and praying about the future structure of the small groups. ## **(C) Prayer Ministry Group (“PMG”)** The PMG has not been able to meet in person over the past year. The main focus has been and continues to be prayer support. Prayer requests are received and passed on by email to the members of the group. The elders really appreciate the dedication and commitment to prayer by those involved in the team. ## **(D) Man Friday and Women@CCF** Due to coronavirus restrictions, only one meeting of Man Friday was held during the year (without our usual meal). About 25 socially-distanced men attended with Alan McManus as speaker. Women@CCF had no organised activities or meetings during the operating period but access to Carlisle Aglow continues to remain available. ## (E) **Monday Work Team and Library** Most activities were suspended from 22 March 2020, although ongoing maintenance of the building and grounds takes place as required and administration work has mostly been carried out remotely from members’ homes. Measures were put in place to ensure that activities within the building were Covid-19 compliant. ## **(F) Missionaries** ## **Missionaries supported by CCF in the year ended 31.03.2021** Helcio and Angela Lange DaSilva (Portugal – working independently) Jochen and Johshy Tewes (India – working with Inter-Mission Industrial Development Association) Annie Pillai (India- working with India Inland Mission) Ian and Helen Faulds (Poverty Shop- Outreach to the Poor worldwide) ## **Schools Workers** Rachel Gleaves Hayley Wisbech 7 **Carlisle Christian Fellowship** Alisa Taylor (Puppets) ## **Operation Mobilisation Workers:** Lucas and Claire Sneller. ## **Stirling Christian Union Workers (with Navigators, Scotland):** Shona and Duncan Cullens. ## **Charities Supporting the Poor:** Joseph’s Storehouse, founded by Barry and Batman Segal and caring for poor Arabs and Jews in Israel. Samaritan’s Purse, which provides Christmas presents in shoeboxes for poor children worldwide. It is also engaged in clear water products. Compassion, which releases children from poverty in undeveloped countries. Release international, providing financial and prayer support to the Persecuted Church. Ezra, supporting the repatriation of Jews back to Israel. ## **(G) Praise Group** The Sunday morning Praise has been recorded for incorporation into our online services since 22nd March 2020. Praise has been led by Jenny Beattie, Jonathan Adams, Claire Sneller, Ben Mattinson, Sarah Traut, Tom Seagraves and Alan Smithson, on a rota basis, with Alan Smithson being responsible for overall leadership. Musicians were Gail, Colin & Ben Mattinson, Claire Sneller, Jonathan Adams, Tom Seagraves, Sarah Traut and her children, and Ben and Alan Smithson. Singers were Jenny Beattie, Claire & Lucas Sneller and their children, Jonathan Adams, Sarah Traut and her children, Tom Seagraves, Colin & Ben Mattinson and Alan & Ruth Smithson. The video recordings and addition of song words were done by Claire and Lucas Sneller, Alan Smithson, Heinz and Sarah Traut, Ben Mattinson, Jonathan Adams and Tom Seagraves. Some video recordings were made in CCF’s building (when restrictions allowed) and for these the sound technician was Ruth Smithson. Steve Thompson was responsible for overall coordination of the recordings and their incorporation into the online service videos. CCF’s elders would like to offer grateful thanks to everyone who has taken part in the Praise Group and all other aspects of the online meetings. They have been a valuable means of continuing to meet together (albeit virtually) and have been an encouragement to CCF and many other viewers nationally and internationally. We have seen many people grasp the opportunity to learn new skills and discover new gifts, which has been a blessing to us all. ## **(H) Welcome Team** Our Welcome Team is blessed with several enthusiastic friendly faces to meet, greet and seat everyone that comes to Church on a Sunday morning. Visitors are informed of Stepping Stones (creche facilities and children's groups) and are invited for coffee after the service where they can get to know people and are made to feel at home. The lift team assist those who need the use of the lift to gain access to the main hall and the lift team member is often the first contact for visitors. During the year, there was no activity due to covid restrictions. ## **(I) Baby Basics** Baby Basics is a volunteer-led project aiming to support new mothers and families who are struggling to meet the financial and practical burden of looking after a new baby. The vision for the project was given by Alex Davis and taken up by Carlisle Christian Fellowship. The provision of Moses Basket Starter Packs have been advertised through various Agencies such as NHS Midwives, Health Visitors, Local Authority Social Workers and Child & Family Support Services (Children’s Centres) in the Carlisle area since August 2019. 8 **Carlisle Christian Fellowship** In the year 2020-2021 There has been a steady, manageable stream of referrals, despite the COVID pandemic. Volunteers were given ‘Key Worker’ status to continue working through lockdown with rigorous health & safety measures in place. In the last year we have distributed 16 Moses Basket Starter Packs, mostly to the NHS Safeguarding Midwives whose clients are vulnerable teenage mums to be. A small number have been distributed to Health Visitors, Social Workers and one to a ‘resettlement’ family. In August 2020 Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge visited several Baby Basic Centres, was in awe of the work and compassion of the volunteers, and tearful when hearing feedback from Mums whose lives had been touched by such a lovely project. As a result, HRH contacted several renowned suppliers of Baby items who took the project to their hearts too, and as a result we in Carlisle received abundant supplies of brand new items for the Moses Baskets. These were well received, as monetary donations had decreased and fund raising events had not been possible during the pandemic. The feedback we have received makes it all so worthwhile. Mums to be and indeed the practitioners who have collected the baskets have been overwhelmed. The most frequent comment we have received from the practitioners is that the mums-to-be have cried, been overjoyed and been very emotional on receipt of the baskets and they are mums who do not normally show any emotion. Practitioners have informed us that these mums had absolutely nothing for their new babies. The baskets are touching hearts and we may never know the full impact. In particular, we will never know how many unborn babies’ lives have been saved by mums not having to stress over not having anything for their new baby – but God knows. ## **Ecumenical Relationships** CCF is in association with “Hope Carlisle” - a gathering of church leaders in Carlisle; Churches Together Carlisle; The Evangelical Alliance; The Carlisle Chapter of Aglow International; and Impact Housing Association. 9 ## **CARLISLE CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP** ## **TRUSTEES REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021** ## **Financial review** The receipts and payments position as regards CCF for the year ended 31st March 2021 is summarised as follows: Total receipts on unrestricted funds was £72,116 of which £234 was income on short term deposits. Restricted income of £863 was received as shown in the Financial Statement appended at Schedule A. The Gift Aid giving through envelopes and bankers orders decreased from £32,514 to £29,855 down by 9% and the total income, in the absence of grants and tax recovered during the Operating Period decreased by 14%. The net result as at 31st March 2021 was an excess of total receipts over payments for the year of £42,232. The accounts are prepared in accordance with the CCF Constitution and the Charities Act 2011 following the option under C25 section 133, which allows accounts to be prepared on a receipts and payments basis by certain small Charities. ## **Financial Reserves Policy** The trustees have considered the level of reserves that they wish to retain, appropriate to CCF's needs. This is based on CCF’s size and the level of financial commitments held. The trustees consider that a level that equates to four months annual expenditure on unrestricted funds provides a sufficient reserves for CCF to be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income and and/or unexpected expenditure. The trustees will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily the amount is included in a short term savings account with Kingdom Bank Limited. ## **Policy on Grants** Grants are made from general funds to overseas missionary organisations and relief agencies, home missions and other societies. Grants are also made to individuals who are considered to be in need. Many of the grants are made on a regular basis when the amount of the grant will depend on an assessment of the recipient circumstances and the resources available. It is not anticipated that the total grants made from unrestricted funds during a year will be less than 10% of the incoming resources from donors. In addition, grants will be made from restricted funds for income is received specifically to enable a grant to be made for a chosen purpose. ## **Investment Policy** In accordance with the governing document of CCF, the trustees have power to invest in such stocks, shares, or other investments and property as they see fit. the policy of CCF is to hold surplus liquid funds in short term deposits which can be accessed readily thus enabling CCF to respond quickly to changing needs and opportunities. ## **Volunteers** We would like to thank all the volunteers as identified in this report who work so hard to make CCF the lively, vibrant, and compassionate community that it is. 10 CARLISLE CHRESTIAN FELLOWSHIP TRUSTEES REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021 Stryrture Governance and Mana8ement CCF is a CIO wh¢ch was ￿gIstered at the Charity Commission on 20th july 2017.

With our continued involvement in Hope Carlisle and other citywide initiatives, we seek to join with other parts of the Church of God in Carlisle to bless our city and to reach out to its people. ## **Financial Information** The Charity Commission allows a small charity to opt to prepare their annual accounts on a ‘Receipts and Payments’ basis rather than an accruals basis which is required by medium and large charities. The fellowship is within the limits set by the Commission and as the trustees consider that the present financial controls that are presently in place are adequate to fulfil their responsibilities, the trustees have prepared the Financial Statements on the said Cash Basis. The receipts and payments for the year ended 31st March 2021 can be summary summarised as follows. ## **Schedule A** **----- Start of picture text -----**
