TRUSTEES' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST JULY 2022
Structure, Governance & Management
Description of the Charity’s Trusts
West Wilts Vineyard is a Christian Church that is part of Vineyard Churches UK, it is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). The previous unincorporated trust has now been closed the entirety of funds and reserves transferred to the new CIO.
Governing Document
We are governed by Vineyard Churches UK’s bye laws, and the WWV Constitution registered with the UK Charity Commission.
Trustee Selection Method
The initial trustees were originally selected by the Senior Pastor. Further recruitment, retention and releasing of Trustees is discussed by the Trustees collectively and decided upon collectively in accordance with WWV Constitution.
Additional Governance Issues
None at this stage.
Policies and Procedures for Inducting and Training Trustees
Inducting of trustees will be considered by Mark Searle and assisted by the other trustees where necessary. Training courses will be offered if considered relevant. However, the majority of training will be ‘in house’ and ‘on the job’.
Organisational Structure
The Church is run and overseen by the two Senior Pastors, Mark Searle and Meghan Searle, alongside the Trustees who provide legal and financial input and support to the Pastors and administer the related areas in conjunction with them.
After 18 years as the Senior Pastors, Jason Whiley and Sam Whiley stepped down from that roles. Mark Searle and Meghan Searle were appointed as the new Senior Pastors in June 2022. This significant transition was handled with care and diligence by outgoing and incoming pastors and the trustees.
Relationship with Related Parties
The Senior Pastors are accountable in all they do to Vineyard Churches UKI and specifically to Owen Lynch and Claire Lynch (Senior Pastors of Severn Vineyard Church in Bristol) who oversee Vineyard Churches located in the West Country and Wales & Nigel and Jo Hemming (Senior Pastors of Winchester Vineyard) who oversee Vineyard Churches in the South of England. These people are known to the Trustees and members of West Wilts Vineyard Church and are available to the church should any situation requiring their input arise.
Objectives & Activities
The main objectives of the charity are to promote, teach and live out the Christian faith by establishing a contemporary and outward focussed church in the area that will in turn, create and nurture other churches elsewhere through the raising up of future church planters from within.
The charity's main activities are to host and equip a community of Christians who grow as followers of Jesus, learning to live generously in action, faith and finances towards all around them. We do this with the provision gathered corporate worship, running small groups and serving our community through the work of the Storehouse.
We communicate our faith and inform our community about our services through word of mouth, websites, and local advertising. Additionally, we collaborate with other churches and organisations in the area to achieve our goals.
Over the coming years, we aim to grow the church and it’s work in the community by transforming the lives of individuals who will go on to serve their communities.

TRUSTEES' REPORT (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST JULY 2022
Achievements & Performance
The Church continues to remain financially viable, in credit and has continued to receive additional monies via Gift Aid.
The pandemic significantly impacted the church's ability to pursue its objectives. Online meetings via Zoom and YouTube proved fruitful, but the long-term impact on attendance at gatherings is still being felt. The work of the storehouse in meeting people's needs continued in new and creative ways.
The founding Senior Pastors have handed on a solid legacy and a healthy church from which the church can continue to recover and rebuild.
Financial Review
Policy on Reserves
Reserves at this point remain within the main account. This is to enable any further spending deemed necessary with regards to the development of ministry areas or the creation of new initiatives.
Details of any Funds Materially in Deficit
There are no monies outstanding to anyone or any accounts in deficit.
Principle Sources of Funds
At present funds come via regular giving, Sunday collections and Gift Aid. With some additional income derived from community groups and others renting rooms in our building for their events.
How Expenditure Supports Key Activities of the Charity
The majority of spending has been on salary costs, rentals, conferences/training and compassion ministries. Salaries are paid to allow the Senior Pastors time within which to maintain and develop all the different areas of Church life, especially with regard to Sunday Services, Small Groups, Newcomers and Compassion Ministries such as the Storehouse (where food is given to those in need), Refresh project (the discrete provision of toiletries and sanitary products to teenagers in need of them via local schools), and the weekly community lunches for the disadvantaged and the cookery school for vulnerable young people. Rental is paid to facilitate our Sunday services and provide office space and an area for the storehouse foodbank. Training and conference costs are paid to enable Senior Pastors and others to be more effective in their leadership roles.
Investment Policy
All monies are kept within the CAF bank account recommended to us by Vineyard Churches UK. Outside of our main business account we have no further investment.
Transfer to Charitable Incorporated Organisation
As of 30 November 2021 the trustees agreed to transfer the entirety of funds and reserves to the West Wilts Vineyard CIO (1174910), and to close this unincorporated trust. The charity will in all other respects continue as described herein under a UK Charity Commission approved constitution.

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.

Preparation of the accounts is on a going concern basis. The trustees 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:
▪ the charity becomes entitled to the resources;
▪ the trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and
▪ the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability
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

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.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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
Include costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts, the costs of the trustees meetings and cost of any legal advise 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 remain in control of the charity.
Support Costs
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of the resources, eg allocating property costs by floor areas, or per capital employed, staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.
Unrestricted Funds
These funds can be used for the general objectives of the charity as set out in the trustees report. The movements of the unrestricted funds are given in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Restricted Funds
These funds are where the donor has specified a purpose for the donation made. These restrictions often arise as a result of the regular appeals for special offerings made at the Sunday fellowship meetings.
Designated Funds
These funds are funds set aside by the trustees out of unrestricted general funds for specific purposes or projects.
Taxation
The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
Pensions
Pension contributions are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as they become payable.

Fixed Assets
Fixed Assets are capitalised if they can be used for more than one year and cost at least £1,500. They are valued at cost or, if gifted, at the value to the charity on receipt.
Depreciation Expense
Depreciation is calculated at a rate to write off the cost of tangible fixed assets over their estimated useful lives. The rates applied per annum are as follows:
Fixtures & Fittings
General Equipment
