TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2021

2021 began with another Covid lockdown and Glendale Church continued to hold weekly services broadcast on Sunday mornings from The Well in Thatcham, streaming live via Facebook Live and YouTube. When regulations allowed, The Well was open for those who chose to attend, observing social distancing and other measures. Sunday evening services resumed when the Wash Common Community Centre, Newbury re-opened.

The funding raised in 2020 supported the completion of phase 2 of the refurbishment at The Well Thatcham, which commenced in July 2021 and finished in September 2021. It comprised the back kitchen area a new roof and redecoration throughout. The only outstanding item is the laying of new flooring which will be fundraised for and completed in 2022.

Glendale Church continued to contribute to ‘Christians Together in the Newbury Area’ (CTNA), Christian Outreach in Newbury schools (COINS), Christians Against Poverty (CAP) Newbury Debt Centre and continues its membership of the UK Evangelical Alliance. The Church continued to support Christian outreach and mission activities in various parts of the world.

The Church continued to employ a full-time Leadership Co-ordinator, and part-time Youth Worker, Administrator & Treasurer. It also continued to employ part time intern cover for the Children’s Worker until she returned from maternity leave in June 2021. The Board of Trustees, Leadership Team and Church Council continue to function very effectively.

Impact of Covid-19 Pandemic

Despite the ongoing restrictions of Covid-19 the Church continued to function well at all levels. Through broadcast services, we are still seeing people from the area and much wider afield joining in Sunday worship, whilst children’s and youth work has adapted with the Sunday afternoon activities operating online until April 2021 when face to face activities recommenced. Several of the Life Groups have continued to thrive through the use of Zoom and making connections in other ways, before resuming face to face small groups in people’s homes as and when individual groups felt comfortable and in line with government guidance. The trustees continue to be mindful of the impact of Covid-19 on the charity’s finances and have monitored income and managed costs accordingly.

Financial Review

The Board of Trustees has taken on its responsibilities to fulfil the requirements of The Charities Act 2011, preparing a statement for the financial year.

Income in year was 2.8% lower than the prior year at £104,707 (2020: £107,706) , however core giving increased 16.1% to £88,968 (2020: £76,642) . Expenditure remained constant at £112,990 (2020: £112,993) through careful management of costs and includes £6,362 of depreciation costs in relation to fixtures, fittings and equipment from phases 1 & 2 of The Well refurbishment work. Whilst the deficit of £8,283 recorded within the year was slightly higher than the prior year (2020: £5,287 deficit), the prior year income figure was boosted by £16,951 one-off grant income relating to phase 2 of The Well refurbishment. During the year £52,300 was spent on phase 2 of the refurbishment with all funds ring-fenced for the work now having been spent.

The Trustees are happy with the level of reserves of the charity at the year end, where there is a healthy level of accessible cash funds (£47,992) to support ongoing operations as required. There have been no significant changes to the financial position subsequent to the year-end to be noted that might affect the Trustees judgement of the CIO in terms of going concern. Accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the Trust, are available for those wishing to see them, and risk assessments ensure the safeguarding of the assets of the Trust are in place.

Trustees’ Responsibilities

The Charities Act 2011 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 CIO and of the surplus of the CIO for the period. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2021

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP - FRS102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

Assessment of Going Concern

Preparation of the accounts is on a going concern basis. The trustees have carefully evaluated all current risks (including Covid-19) and consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Charity's ability to continue as a going concern.

Incoming Resources

Recognition of Incoming Resources

These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) when:

Incoming Resources with Related Expenditure

Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) the incoming resource and related expenditure are reported gross in the SOFA.

Grants and Donations

Grants and Donations are only included in the SOFA when the charity has unconditional entitlement to the resources.

Tax Reclaims on Donations and Gifts

Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the SOFA at the same time as the gift to which they relate.

Contractual Income and Performance Related Grants

This is only included in the SOFA once the related goods or services has been delivered.

Gifts in Kind

Gifts in kind are accounted for at a reasonable estimate of their value to the charity or the amount actually realised. Gilts in kind for sale or distribution are included in the accounts as gilts only when sold or distributed by the charity. Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SOFA as incoming resources when receivable

Donated services and facilities

These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and material. The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the service or facility received.

Volunteer Help

The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts.

GLENDALE CHURCH

(CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2021

Investment Income

This is included in the accounts when receivable.

Investment Gains and Losses

This includes any gain or loss on the sale of investments and any gain or loss resulting from revaluing investments to market value at the end of the year.

Expenditure and Liabilities

Liability Recognition

Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources.

Governance Costs

These include costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the costs of the trustees’ meetings and cost of any legal advice to trustees on governance or constitutional matters.

Grants with Performance Conditions

Where the charity gives a grant with conditions for its payment being a specific level of service or output to be provided, such grants are only recognised in the SOFA once the recipient of the grant has provided the specified service or output.

Grants Payable without Performance Conditions

These are only recognised in the accounts when a commitment has been made and there are no conditions to be met relating to a grant which remains in the control of the charity.

Pensions

Pension contributions are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as they become payable.

Assets

Investment Assets

Investments quoted on a capitalised stock exchange are valued at market value at the year end. Other investment assets are included at trustees’ best estimate of market value.

Tangible Fixed Assets

Fixed Assets are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and cost at least £1,000. They are valued at cost or, if gifted, at the value to the charity on receipt.

Land & Buildings

Land and Buildings have been valued and included within the accounts at cost value as at the 20[th] August 2018.

Depreciation Expense

No amortisation is charged to freehold property as the property is maintained to such a standard that the estimated residual value is not less than cost. Fixtures and Fittings associated with the refurbishment work have been depreciated from the start of the year on a straight line basis over 10 years. Equipment purchased in year is depreciated over 5 years.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

11. TRUSTEES AND OTHER RELATED PARTIES

During the financial period Mrs Eileen Dunn (Spouse to Trustee Mr Adrian Dunn) received £9,076 (2020: £8,600) in salary related payments and Pension Contributions in her capacity as Administrator for Glendale Church in furthering the Charity's objects.

During the financial year Mr Joel Gregory (Spouse to Trustee Mrs Amy Gregory) received £20,056 (2020: £19,663) in salary related payments and Pension Contributions in his capacity as Youth Worker for Glendale Church in furthering the Charity's objects.

No other payments were made to trustees or any persons connected with them during this financial period. No other material transaction took place between the organisation and a trustee or any person connected with them.

12. RISK ASSESSMENT

The trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining the free reserves stated, combined with the annual review of the controls over key financial systems carried out on an annual basis will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The trustees have also examined other operational and business risks which they face and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.

13. RESERVES POLICY

The trustees have considered the level of reserves they wish to retain, appropriate to the CIO's needs. This is based on the CIO's size and the level of financial commitments held. The trustees aim to ensure the CIO will be able to continue to fulfil its charitable objectives even if there is a temporary shortfall in income or unexpected expenditure. The trustees will endeavour not to set aside funds unnecessarily.

14. PUBLIC BENEFIT

The CIO acknowledges its requirement to demonstrate clearly that it must have charitable purposes or 'aims' that are for the public benefit. Details of how the CIO has achieved this are provided in the Trustees report. The Trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit before deciding what activities the CIO should undertake.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS

Report to the Trustees/members of Glendale Church on the accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2021 set out on pages 4 to 14.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

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 section145(S)(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

  1. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
