## **HUB CHURCH SOUTH WOODFORD (A Company Limited by Guarantee) REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021**
The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the Hub Church South Woodford for the year ended 31st March 2021.
## **Structure, governance and management**
The principal object of the charity is the advancement of the Christian faith.
## **a. Method of appointment or election of Trustees**
Trustees are elected by the existing trustees by majority vote.
## **b. Organisational structure and decision making**
All policy decisions are made by the Trustees with day-to-day operational decisions made by the Leadership.
## **Objectives and activities**
## **a. Policies and objectives**
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit.
The charity's objectives are:
(1) the advancement of the Christian faith in accordance with the doctrines set out in the fourth schedule of the declaration of trust and the worship of God in East London and surrounding areas and elsewhere by any means whatsoever including (but not by way of limitation) the preaching and the proclamation of the Christian doctrine and principles and the pastoral care of Christian people and the printing and the distribution of the Bible and Christian literature.
(2) the relief of persons who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress or who are aged or sick.
(3) the provision of instruction in the principles of the Christian faith at any educational establishment and the provision of a day and/or boarding college for the general education of male and female pupils of any age and for the instruction of such pupils in such principles aforesaid.
## **b. Activities for achieving objectives**
Prior to the lockdown, Hub Church South Woodford (operating as the Hub Movement) provided a place of worship at the Rodding Primary School in Woodford where it rented a school hall every other Sunday with the use of volunteers. In addition, a number of smaller Hubs in East London and Essex provided worship and fellowship. During lockdown, these activities continued on zoom and were augmented (once permitted) with meetings in the open air at a local park.
As a charity, the movement also operates a clothes bank for people in need, and provided material assistance to people referred to them by various local agencies.
## **Achievements and performance**
## **a. Going concern**
After making appropriate enquiries, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The charity relies on donations to carry out its activities and there are reserves in place.
## **HUB CHURCH SOUTH WOODFORD REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021**
## **b. Review of acitivies**
Hub Church South Woodford provides a place of worship where the Christian faith is promoted and demonstrated with services for all ages and activities for children. Support is given for various charities and in addition material assistance has been provided to people referred to the charity by local agencies. Members of the charity also assist other charities and organisations with advancing the Christian faith and helping people in need.
## **Plans for the future**
Hub Church South Woodford will look to becoming a movement, and plant new churches. The vision is to plant churches down the central line. Covid meant we suspended the development of Leytonstone. As lockdown eased, we began meeting together in the open air in a local park.
Further expansion plans were developed in the period, and post this period, local Hubs began operating in Loughton and Epping. The online presence of the Movement continues to be developed as another channel for the charity's goals.
## **Trustees' responsibilities statement**
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. 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 incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to:-
- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- Observe the methods and principles in the appicable Charities SORP;
- Make judgements and estimates which are reasonable and prudent;
- State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures which must be disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- Prepare financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in existence.
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. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
This report was approved by the Trustees on 16/12/2021 and signed on their behalf by:

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Hub Church South Woodford for the year ended 31st March 2021.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of Company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited for this year under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination, I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145 (5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention which give me cause to believe that:
- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or
- the accounts do not accord with such records; or
- the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 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; or
- the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102).
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.

## **HUB CHURCH SOUTH WOODFORD (A Company Limited by Guarantee) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021**

The charity is not registered for gift aid.
## **Volunteer help**

## **Income from interest**
This is included in the accounts when receipt is probable and the amount receivable can be measured reliably.
## **Income from membership subscriptions**
Membership subscriptions received in the nature of a gift are recognised in donations.
## **Restricted funds**
Restricted funds are to be used for specified purposes as required by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is allocated to the relevant fund. Income derived from these funds is retained within the funds concerned. Designated funds are unrestricted funds which trustees have designated to be used for a specific purpose. Where these funds yield investment income, this is available for general purposes. Unrestricted funds are funds which are not designated or restricted.

Liabilities are recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.
## **Governance and support costs**
Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
## **Deferred income**
No material item of deferred income has been included in the accounts.
## **Provisions for liabilities**
A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Tangible fixed assets are recorded at cost or, in cases where assets are donated to the charity, at valuation at time of acquisition. The charity has no fixed assets.
## **Depreciation**
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.
## **HUB CHURCH SOUTH WOODFORD (A Company Limited by Guarantee) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2021**
## **Debtors**
Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received.
## **Taxation**
The company is limited by guarantee and is a charity registered with the Charity Commission and is not, therefore, subject to corporation tax.
