INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS
Report to the trustees/ members of Carlisle Christian Fellowship on the accounts for the year ended 31st March 2022 set out on pages 13 to 19.
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
-
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
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Summary of Departmental Reports
(A) Stepping Stones
The 0-18 ministry is named Stepping Stones was suspended as from 22 March 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic lockdown but reopened during the reporting year. Groups are Pebbles (pre-school, reception & early primary) and Boulder Gang (late primary & secondary). Oversight was by Ruth Smithson with Jackie Gollings coordinating Pebbles and Stephen Mason coordinating Boulder Gang.
(B) House Groups
Due to covid restrictions the groups have not been able to meet as normal but as the year progressed the situation improves. The remaining groups started to meet up again and a new group was formed lead by Ian Belton and Chris Magas. 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 praying that other new groups could be established.
(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.

Most activities were suspended from 22 March 2020 and recommenced during the reporting year. 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 when this was required. A cleaning day took place during the year to prepare the building for full reopening. Occasionally external paid contractors have been used for garden maintenance.

(H) Praise Group
The Sunday morning Praise has been recorded for incorporation into our online services since 22nd March 2020, with a move to live worship from June 2021. 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. An overlap period allowed continuation of online services being shown, using recordings of the previous week’s live meeting, so that those who were not ready to return to live meetings could still participate from home. Sound and vision crew was Steve Thompson and Doug Coyle with assistance from Liz Seagraves. Live streaming of worship meetings was explored and has been implemented by Steve Thompson and Doug Coyle after the reporting year.
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 and live meetings. They have been a valuable means of continuing to meet together (virtually and in reality) and have been an encouragement to CCF and many other online 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.
(I) 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). 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. There was no activity whilst Covid restrictions were in place.
(J) 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 has 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.

Carlisle Christian Fellowship
2021-2022 has shown 100% increase (33) of referrals since last year, a total of 65 since commencement of the project. Moses Basket Starter Packs were distributed mostly to the NHS Midwives whose clients are vulnerable mums to be who are struggling financially, including homeless and a small number have been distributed to resettlement families. Donations from the suppliers, signposted by the Duchess of Cambridge, ceased at the end of 2020-2021 financial year. There has since been a steady flow of donations of good quality clothes from email/website contacts and we are now thinking of innovative ways to attract donations from churches around Carlisle and from supermarkets, as supplies and monetary donations are currently low, and we are hoping to recruit volunteers to source items from social media platforms. CCF have supported the project financially with the purchasing of 20 new baskets and paying the monthly subscriptions.
The baskets are touching hearts and making a vast difference to families struggling in this economic climate. We may never know the full impact and in particular 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; Impact Housing Association and The Christian Motorcyclists Association (UK).

TRUSTEES REPORT (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2022
Financial review
The receipts and payments position as regards CCF for the year ended 31st March 2022 is summarised as follows:
Total receipts on unrestricted funds was £41,817 of which £97 was income on short term deposits. Restricted income of £2,889 was received as shown in the Financial Statement appended at Schedule A.
The Gift Aid giving through envelopes and bankers orders increased from £29,855 to £34,052, up by 12% and the total income, in the absence of grants and tax recovered during the Operating Period decreased by 9%.
The net result as at 31st March 2022 was an excess of total receipts over payments for the year of £14,249.
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.

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.
