Page 4 of 11 ## **Music & Worship Foundation CIO** ## **Registered Charity Number: 1175280** ## **Trustees' Report for the Year Ended 31 March 2023** Principal Office: 8A Horley Close, Bexleyheath, Kent DA6 7HS Legal Structure: Charitable Incorporated Organisation Governing Document: Constitution of Music & Worship Foundation CIO (incorporated 20 October 2017) Trustees:- Damian Herbert, Hannah Hodges, Ron Jones, Sylvia Kalisch, Andrew Mitchell, Mwidimi Ndosi, Rev. Eileen Osgood, Roger Peach. **See "Structure" below.** Chairman of Trustees: Roger Peach / Rev. Eileen Osgood (see "Structure") Secretary to Trustees: Andrew Mitchell Treasurer: Ron Jones ## **OBJECTIVES** The objectives of the CIO ("MWF") are:- 1 The advancement of the Christian religion through music, media and other art forms; - 2 To advance the education of the public in Christian worship and music. ## **STRUCTURE** The aims of the CIO are advanced through the operations of MWF’s ministry Engage Worship. MWF employs a team of four: Sam and Sara Hargreaves to lead this work, under the supervision of the Trustees, and Gemma and Timo Scharnowski. The Trustees meet on average four times per year, usually via two video-calls and two face-to-face meetings. They also keep in contact with each other, and with the team, by email. Roger Peach relinquished the position of Chair of Trustees towards the end of the year, and was replaced as Chair by Rev. Eileen Osgood. (Mr Peach subsequently resigned as a Trustee on 11 July 2023.) ## **WORK AND ACTIVITIES OF THE CIO** These have included:- - 1 Production of Publications:During this financial year Engage Worship produced _The Rest is Worship_ , a 40-chapter devotional book. This was accompanied by a Leaders’ Resource eBook which contained principles and resources for restful gathered worship. Responses to this included: - _“I've really enjoyed your book. Sabbath practice is an area that God has been_ _working on with me for a while... I loved the practical and wider implications_ _that your book brought out, both personally, for family and church life.”_ Chris, email. We also released a reflective Advent Calendar, with Bible passages for each day of Advent on beautifully-designed cards. Page 5 of 11 ## 2 Leading and participating in conferences, seminars and meetings. The team was involved in many more in-person events this year. We began by leading the All Age venue at Spring Harvest Skegness, and Sam & Sara taught about All Age Worship at One Big Day in Norwich and at St Edmundsbury Cathedral. Feedback from Spring Harvest included: _“Thanks for a great Spring Harvest this year. My whole family loved the All Age worship you led. Lots of ideas to take home and try out from your workshop too."_ Matt, email. _“We have loved coming to these! I think it’s possibly been my favourite bit of #SH2023”_ Fiona, Twitter. We taught on our _How Would Jesus Lead Worship_ material in Orpington and Luton, and _Whole Life Worship_ with the Salvation Army, the United Reformed Church and a Free Church in Frinton. We also led retreats based on our _The Rest Is Worship_ ideas in Guildford and Luton. - 3 Resource the public for Christian worship through the engageworship.org website Our site continues to be a highly-used resource for church leaders and other places of worship. In the year we had 166,000 users visit the site, with 35,000 visiting our AREA 52 Lectionary page, and 22,000 attracted by our general ideas pages. User feedback includes: _“Once again I am blessed by the brilliant resources and ideas you provide which help to enrich our worship and make it accessible and enjoyable. Thanks for all you do.”_ _“Thank you for brilliant resources that are inspiring and adaptable for use in different contexts.”_ Popular resources posted in the past year include a song helping people to pray for the Ukraine crisis, a gathering prayer for all ages, and a hymn at the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. We made the second season of our PAUSE/PRAY podcast available, with audio reflections that made use of physical movement. We have also set up a Worship Jobs page and allowed churches to advertise vacancies for free. ## 4 Commitment to higher education contexts. Sam Hargreaves has taught London School of Theology modules in Multimedia & Multisensory Worship and Youth & Worship. He and Sara also taught for an afternoon at St Mellitus College, London. Sam has also been leading training for Lay Leaders of Worship in St Albans diocese. ## 5 Evergreen This is a new ministry of Engage Worship, led by Timo & Gemma Scharnowski. In January 2023 we began our first Evergreen Plus (“Evergreen+”) year, with a cohort of 15 young worship leaders. This started with a residential weekend at High Leigh conference centre, and each person connects with a mentor 6 times per year. We have also run two further day retreats in the year, and are developing an online presence. In the ways stated above MWF CIO serves the public benefit. Our resources are downloaded and purchased in their thousands, and hundreds of people have attended seminars, workshops and services run by Engage Worship. These are primarily churches and church-goers, but our material is also benefiting schools, family groups and youth settings. In the coming year we are working on an _Outdoor Worship_ resource for Schools in collaboration with St Albans Diocese, continuing to share _The Rest Is Worship_ material, and extending Evergreen+ into a second cohort, among other activities. Page 6 of 11 ## **SOURCES OF FUNDING** In addition to the sale of resources as detailed above, the CIO's income comes from donations from individuals and churches and from the charges made for visits by our employees. The CIO also received two grants totalling £9,600 specifically for the Evergreen ministry, and a further general grant of £1,000. ## **POLICIES** ## Public Benefit:- Served by the activities described above. The Trustees take into account the Charity Commission's guidance on Public Benefit in all relevant decisions. ## Reserves:- The Trustees' policy is that if the level of reserves should fall below £10,000 immediate consideration would be given to reducing costs in whatever way possible, including curtailing the employees' hours of work. Part of the Reserves are retained against a requirement in extremis to make redundancy payments. ## Conflict of Interest:- For all decisions taken involving a conflict of interest for any Trustee, the Trustee affected by the conflict is absent from the room and takes no part in the voting. All other policies such as Safeguarding, Data Privacy, Equality, Diversity & Inclusion, Complaints and others are available on request. ## **CLOSING REMARKS:-** The Trustees wish to express our huge gratitude to Sam, Sara, Timo and Gemma for their dedication to the ministry of MWF and for their willingness to offer so readily their gifts, skills, experience and creativity to all the various strands of our work. It has been a joy to see the return of well-established conferences and training events as we have emerged from the pandemic, and to note the broad reach and positive impact the staff team have had through these. Alongside this, new initiatives such as Evergreen and The Rest is Worship mean that we continue to offer something fresh and exciting as we seek to train and resource the local church for Creative, Sustainable and World-Changing worship. Our thanks goes too to all those who through regular giving or one-off donations make this work possible. There is much to celebrate and we look forward to all that the coming year will hold. This report was approved by the Trustees at a meeting on 11 July 2023, and was signed on their behalf by:- Rev. Eileen Osgood (Chair) Andrew Mitchell (Secretary) Page 7 of 11 **----- Start of picture text -----**

Page 8 of 11 **Notes to the Accounts** ## General - A The Charity has no Endowment Funds. - B No remuneration was paid to Trustees. They were, however, recompensed for expenses incurred, and the details are given in an accompanying sheet. - C The postage and packaging of materials bought online was (until September) handled by JM Supplies, a company owned by Mr Andrew Mitchell, one of the MWF Trustees. The income account "Dispatch Charges on Online Sales" is an element of the web price quoted for each commodity, to offset the cost of post and packing. The actual costs of postage and packing were paid to JM Supplies against a monthly invoice. As from October 2022 another firm, Connect Supply, was engaged to perform this work. - D As in previous years, until September 2002 JM Supplies was also reimbursed with a sum of 10% of the value of sales, as a contribution towards the costs of realisation - which is less than would have been charged by comparable organisations. Neither JM Supplies nor Mr Mitchell derived a profit from this arrangement. This features in the accounts as “Online Sales Fulfilment”. ## Notes to individual SOFA items - 1 A number of one-off grants were received this year, reflecting a higher level of fund-raising work. - 2 Income from sales fluctuates as new items come on-stream: whereas existing lines tend to settle down after the initial rush. - 3 "Professional fees received" refers to Sam Hargreaves' activities in tutoring and marking for London School of Theology, and in submitting articles to a Christian magazine covering youth work. Last year's figure was lower than is normally the case, hence the apparent rise - although this year's work was still affected to some extent by the aftermath of Covid. - 4 Outside event visits have now fully recovered following the lengthy effects of the Covid pandemic. - 5 One of the events for which premises were hired was in connection with the Evergreen mentoring programme - see Trustees' Report. - 6 Travel Expenses (Admin) arises from meetings of the Engage team and of Trustees. - 7 The CIO pays quarterly support payments to a charity in Albania, Selah WAM, which is engaged in similar work. The amount donated reduces each year by agreement, as the Albanian enterprise becomes more self-supporting. The proper application of these payments is checked through receipt of regular quarterly reports from their Trustees. - 8 Fixed Assets are depreciated at an annual rate of 25% of the original purchase cost.

Note: Trustees' travel expenses relate to attending Trustees' meetings in person. This expense is the reason why two meetings each year are conducted on-line. ## **See Section B of "Notes to the Accounts".** Page 10 of 11 ## **Music & Worship Foundation CIO : Charity No. 1175280 Financial year ended 31 March 2023** ## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Music & Worship Foundation CIO on the Accounts for the above period** ## 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 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. ## 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; > 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.
