CHIPS (Christian International Peace Service) Annual report and financial statements Year ended 31 March 2021

Introduction

Introduction

I am pleased to present our Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31st March 2021.

Over the year we continued to run our peacemaking projects in Brixton and Ghana but were unable to make any progress on the potential project in Central Asia I mentioned in my report last year.

Our income over the year was £281,667 and our expenditure £252,289. As a result, the level of funds held at the end of the year was £83,020, an increase of £34,543 on the previous year, with £42,064 of those funds unrestricted as to use.

In the third quarter of the year, the Trustees undertook a review of the long-term sustainability of the charity in light of an imbalance between the levels of unrestricted and restricted funding that were being generated. The major outcome of the review was a change in the leadership structure of the charity as we returned to having a sole director rather than a codirectorship model. The impact of this decision on costs came after the end of the financial year.

Our report and accounts for the year to March 2020 were presented against the background of the Covid pandemic and a number of restrictions on our activities. These accounts reflect the actual impact of

the pandemic in terms of activities and funding as we saw, in particular in Brixton, the need to respond to the immediate needs of the local community and adjust the emphasis of our work to focus on supporting families.

The pandemic had less of an impact on our project in Ghana save that restrictions on travel have necessitated the postponement of a planned evaluation of the project on its tenth anniversary.

In January 2021, we published a report on the impact of our work in 2020, a copy of which can be obtained by contacting our Director Andrew Jackson on andrew@chipspeace.org.

A similar report on the impact of our work in 2021 will be published in February 2022.

Trustees’ annual report

Trustees’ annual report

The Board of Trustees, submit their annual report and the financial statements of CHIPS (Christian International Peace Service) for the year ended 31 March 2021. The Board of Trustees confirms that the annual report and financial statements of the Charity comply with current statutory requirements, including the Charity Act 2011, as well as the requirements of the Charity's governing document and the provisions of the ‘Charities SORP (FRS 102) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) second edition (effective 1 January 2019)’, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

Objects

The objects of the charity are, for the public benefit:

To advance the Christian Gospel throughout the world, particularly in areas of tension, unrest and suffering by all charitable means available; and
To relieve poverty and advance education throughout the world, particularly in areas of tension, unrest and suffering.

In practice this is achieved by supporting teams living amongst communities experiencing violent conflict, empowering and equipping them to make peace and build sustainable futures free from violence.

The trustees have complied with the duty to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.

Development, achievements and activities during

the year

An Impact Report was published in January 2021 reviewing our work and its impact over 2020 and a further report will be published in February 2022 covering 2021. Copies of both can be obtained by contacting the CHIPS team at office@chipspeace.org.

During the year covered by this report, the projects in Brixton and Ghana continued. Both were impacted by the Covid pandemic. The pandemic and the departure of Paul Maxwell-Rose as Programmes Director also impacted any expansion into new projects.

Brixton

The focus of the Brixton project continued to be the reduction of youth violence in Brixton.

Whilst work in schools was limited by the pandemic, it was possible to continue with youth work both virtually and in person, bringing young people together to build

relationships around common activities and causes and tackling the divisions between them. A major success during the year was the writing, filming, production and release of a short film by a group of young people which tackled the theme of the racism they face in their lives.

In the last quarter of the year we joined a consortium of local organisations which secured funding from the Mayor of London’s Violence Reduction Unit for a two year programme of working together with the community to tackle serious youth violence in Coldharbour Ward in Brixton which is one of the most severely impacted across London.

Ghana

The work in Ghana also continued to focus on building sustainable peace between the Nanumba/ Dagomba and Konkomba tribes.

The team of nationals, drawn from both tribes continued to live and work among the most affected communities, seeking to break down barriers and build trust, undertaking practical projects which address the causes of conflict and tension.

The Covid pandemic had less of an impact on the area of Ghana we work in than it had in other areas of Ghana and the UK. Some travel between different communities was limited for a period but it was possible throughout the year to keep projects running.

Financial Review

During the current financial year the charity achieved a surplus of £34,543 (2020 - deficit of £18,945), increasing total reserves at year end to £83,020 (2020 - £48,477).

Of the total reserves held at year end £42,064 was unrestricted in nature (2020 - £23,242).

Reserves Policy

The Trustees have established a policy whereby free reserves held by the charity should be set at a minimum of 3 month’s expenditure. These accounts show reserves of £42,064 which is equivalent to two month’s expenditure.

Structure, Governance and Management

Governing Document

CHIPS (Christian International Peace Service) was established as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation and is governed by its constitution dated 10th August 2017, and has the registered charity number 1174527.

On 23rd October 2017, the Charity Commission authorised the transfer to the charity of all the assets and liabilities of Christian International Peace Service (Charity Number 267140) (The Trust).

Trustees’ annual report

CHIPS (Christian International Peace Service) Annual report and financial statements Year ended 31 March 2021

Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees

The trustees are the only voting members of the charity. They are not remunerated in any form for their services as trustees.

The existing trustees have the power to appoint new or additional trustees.

Under the terms of the Constitution, the trustees have the power to do anything which is calculated to further the objects of the charity or is conducive or incidental to doing so. The income and property of the charity must be applied solely towards the promotion of its objects.

Organisational structure

The Trustees meet four or five times each year. They are primarily concerned with major decisions and with the strategy of the charity. They keep the charity’s financial position under review. They oversee the recruitment of senior staff and agree to other staff appointments as necessary.

Normal operational decisions are delegated to the Director who provides regular briefings to the trustees. The Director has frequent and regular access to the Chair of Trustees and other trustees as needed.

Paul Maxwell-Rose and Andrew Jackson were CoDirectors until 31st December 2020 when Andrew Jackson was appointed Director. Paul Maxwell-Rose left CHIPS on the 14th March 2020 after 11 years service. Andrew Jackson continues as Director.

On the 31st December 2020, Elfrida Calvocoressi retired as Chair of Trustees and Julie Finn was appointed as her successor.

Statement of Board of Trustees’ Responsibilities

The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law they are required to prepare the financial statements in accordance with UK Accounting Standards and applicable law (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland.

Under charity law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the excess of income over expenditure for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements, and;
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue its activities.

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and 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. They have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the charity and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charity’s website.

Legislation in the UK governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. In addition, the trustees confirm that they are happy that the content of the annual review in pages 4-5 of this document as well as the legal and administrative details on page 3, meet the requirements of the trustees’ Annual Report under charity law.

They also confirm that the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the accounts and comply with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland published on 16 July 2014.

Independent examiner’s report

Independent examiner’s report to the board of trustees of CHIPS (Christian International Peace Service)

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of CHIPS (Christian International Peace Service) (charity number 1174527) for the year ended 31 March 2021 set out on pages 7 to 17.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The Charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act). The Charity’s Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of 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.

This report, including my statement, has been prepared for and only for the Charity’s Trustees as a body. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Charity’s Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity’s Trustees as a body for my examination work, for this report, or for the statements I have made.

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.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
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 no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the financial statements

1. Accounting policies

Basis of preparation of the financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with ‘Charities SORP (FRS 102) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) second edition (effective 1 January 2019)’, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

The effect of any event relating to the period ended 31 March 2021, which occurred before the date of approval of the financial statements by the Board of Trustees, has been included in the financial statements to the extent required to show a true and fair view of the state of affairs at 31 March 2021 and the results for the year ended on that date.

The functional currency of the charity is sterling.

The amounts in the financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound.

Under the exemption available to smaller charities the Board of Trustees has chosen not to include a Statement of Cash Flows within the financial statements.

particular purposes. The cost of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund is set out in note 10 of the financial statements.

Income

Income is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance indicators attached to the item(s) of income have been met, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount can be measured reliably.

Donations are recognised in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when entitled, receipt is probable and when the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. Gift aid receivable is included when claimable.

Grant income is credited to the Statement of Financial Activities when received or receivable whichever is earlier, unless the grant relates to a future period, in which case it is deferred.

Income from charitable activities is credited to the Statement of Financial Activities when received or receivable whichever is earlier, unless it relates to a specific future period or event, in which case it is deferred.

Interest is recorded when it is receivable.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis as the Board of Trustees is confident that future reserves and future income is more than sufficient to meet current commitments. There are no material uncertainties that impact this assessment, and the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic has had no material impact on this assessment.

Legal status

CHIPS (Christian International Peace Service) is a charitable incorporated organisation registered in England and Wales and meets the definition of a public benefit entity. In the event of the Charity being wound up, the trustees of the Charity hold no liability. The registered address is Unit 7, Warwick House, Overton Road, Brixton, London, SW9 7JP.

Fund Accounting

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Restricted funds are funds that are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or that have been raised by the Charity for

Dividends are accounted for when due, and tax recoverable on such income is accounted for based on the repayment due in the fiscal year ending in that accounting year.

Realised gains or losses are recognised when investments are sold. Unrealised gains or losses are accounted for on revaluation of investments at the period end.

Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been included under expense categories that aggregate all costs for allocation to activities.

Non-recoverable VAT is included against the expenditure heading to which it relates.

Indirect costs, including governance costs, which cannot be directly attributed to activities, are allocated between activities proportionate to the direct costs incurred in those activities.

Grants payable are payments made to third parties in furtherance of the Charity's objectives.

Unconditional grant offers are accrued in full once the recipient has been advised of the grant award and the payment is probable. Where grant awards are subject

Registered charity no 1174527

Notes to the financial statements

CHIPS (Christian International Peace Service) Annual report and financial statements Year ended 31 March 2021

to performance conditions that are outside of the control of the Charity these are accrued when the recipients have been notified of the grant award. Irrecoverable VAT is charged against the category of expenditure for which it was incurred.

Taxation

As a registered charity income and gains are exempt from Corporation Tax to the extent that they are applied to the charitable objectives.

Pensions

Pension contributions payable under a defined contribution scheme are charged to the SOFA in the accounting period to which they relate.

Tangible fixed assets and depreciation

Only assets costing more than £500 are capitalised. Currently there are no assets held over this limit.

Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash in hand, deposits with banks and funds that are readily convertible into cash at, or close to, their carrying values, but are not held for investment purposes.

Debtors and prepayments

Trade and other debtors are recognised at the settlement amount after any trade discount is applied. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid net of any trade discounts due.

gains/losses at the end of the financial period which is reflected in the SOFA. Realised gains/losses are calculated as the difference between the sales proceeds and the opening carrying value or the purchase price if acquired during the financial period. Partial disposals are accounted for using the average value. Fair value is based on the quoted price at the balance sheet date without deduction of estimated future selling costs.

Financial instruments

Basic financial instruments are measured at amortised cost other than investments which are measured at fair value.

Critical estimates and judgements

In preparing financial statements it is necessary to make certain judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The treatment of tangible fixed assets is sensitive to changes in useful economic lives and residual values of assets. These are reassessed annually.

In the view of the Trustees in applying the accounting policies adopted, no judgements were required that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements nor do any estimates or assumptions made carry a significant risk of material adjustment in the next financial year.

Creditors and accruals

Creditors 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.

Investments

Investments are initially measured at their cost and subsequently measured at their fair value at each reporting date, which gives rise to unrealised
