Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 August 2022 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Significant activities** 

Charitable Activities during the year became closer to normal after the COVID19 pandemic, with the charity ensuring that it followed government guidance and regulation until restrictions were eased in August 2021. Significant activities undertaken during the period were: 

## Communities of kindness 

The church ran several social events, aimed at bringing the community together, and providing a social space where members can invite friends and colleagues to. 

## Equipping and empowering 

Leaders were encouraged to attend local and national training events online, which included the Vineyard National Leaders conference and also worship training events. . 

## Gatherings 

During this year, the church moved to use Blenheim school for its physical meetings on Sunday along with a function room in a local pub for smaller gatherings and groups. The numbers attending every Sunday (adults and children) regularly exceeded 50 people. However the investment in online services continued as many members were unable to attend in person due to continuing COVID or the need to reduce physical contact with others. 

Three small groups functioned at members houses either in person or/ over video conferencing for worship, teaching, Bible study, prayer and support. These all had an 'intentional' requirement, following the teaching of Jesus to "make disciples". These served to strengthen the church community & were great opportunities to invite guests to. 

Due to increased revenue from people giving to the charity, the church recruited two paid staff (one day per week each) to help handle the youth group and social media and reduce the burden on the senior pastors allowing them to spend more time looking after church members and making plans for further growth and development of the church and community outreach during 2022 and on to 2023. 

## We Love Epsom 

The church undertook several decorating and gardening projects for members of the community who would have struggled to have done the work by themselves. These came from referrals from The Besom Project in Leatherhead, but have been undertaken in the Borough of Epsom & Ewell. 

It also worked in conjunction with Ewell Changemakers in gardening and cleaning of Ewell Village. 

The church community also supported the local foodbank in Epsom, and encouraged church members to contribute necessary produce to help support the growing need during the pandemic. 

Christmas Hampers were prepared for people in the community known to the church who were in need and where appropriate small grants are made to individuals in the community who have specific financial shortfalls. 

The charity ran several Christians Against Poverty (CAP) money management courses, open to all, to provide money for management training, especially for those in debt. Some of these courses were run in local schools for the benefit of pupils. 

Some members assisted in supporting Epsom Refugee Network by teaching English at their summer camp for children. 

## Connecting with other Local Churches 

Members of Epsom Vineyard have met with Churches Together in Epsom, and connected with other Christian Leaders across our Borough.. 

## **Public benefit** 

In planning the activities the Trustees have applied the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.The charity acts for the public benefit by providing practical help and education via the CAP courses, via donations to the Epsom foodbank, Epsom Refugee network, and the Besom project to needy members of the community, to national initiatives led by Vineyard Churches UK, and in provision of spiritual services available to all.

EPSOM VINEYARD CHURCH 

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 August 2022 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Volunteers** 

Volunteers help at all the events hosted by the church and provide almost all the income. The church's attendees provide a variety of services in the community free of charge in addition to the specific functions within the church. These include helping at events hosted by Epsom Refugee Network This work has grown with the large number of migrants who are being hosted in Epsom from the Ukraine due to the war in that country. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

The charity had income of £108,431 (2021 £57,981) and expenditure of £81,346 (2021 £51,370) in the year giving a surplus of £27,085 (2021 £6,611), all unrestricted funds. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The trustees have determined that the charity should aim to hold unrestricted net current assets of no more than  £100,000 or 50% of the charity's annual income (£54,215) and no less than £5,000 or 25% of its annual income (£27,107), or about 6 months' of unrestricted expenditure £39,559), so that the charity could continue to operate should income and / or expenditure vary adversely. At the year end, the charity held unrestricted net current assets of £64,781. This is healthy but is considered prudent given the increase in paid staff and the economic situation . The charity's surplus free reserves are to be used to expand the charity's activities. 

## **Going concern** 

The trustees have considered going concern. The balance of reserves is considered sufficient to continue operation should the economic situation affect voluntary giving into the next financial year. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

Since the Autumn term 2021 the church has been meeting in person at Blenheim School, Epsom. The church plans to continue to grow its activities during the remainder of 2022 and 2023. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a constitution, and constitutes a charitable incorporated organisation, company number CE014228, a charity registered as a body corporate under part 11 of the Charities Act 2011. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

Responsibility for setting policy and for determining the parameters within which the charity should operate rests with the trustees who meet regularly to monitor the activities of the charity. Responsibility for the day to day operation of the charity has been delegated to a leadership team led by Duncan and Lorna Owen. New trustees are recruited and appointed by the existing trustees and receive relevant training. 

## **Organisational structure** 

EVC was commissioned and 'planted out' by Sutton Vineyard on Sunday 3rd June 2018. Financially and governmentally EVC is an independent congregation. EVC is an independent congregation led by Duncan and Lorna Owen who are personally licensed by Vineyard Churches UK and Ireland (VCUKI) to use the Vineyard church brand according to the VCUKI bylaws. 

## **Induction and training of new trustees** 

All new trustees read the document 'The role and responsibilities of trustees', have a chance to attend trustees meetings and are fully appraised of the requirements of being a trustee 

## **Related parties** 

Remuneration was paid to two trustees which is permitted under the Constitution. All related parties left the trustees' meeting when this was discussed to ensure there was no conflict of interest.

## Report of the Trustees 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Risk management** 

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. They have undertaken a review of the risks to the CIO and have taken steps to mitigate these. 

The ongoing impact of COVID has been discussed by the trustees at every meeting. With the commencement of face to face Sunday meetings at Blenheim School in September 2021, the trustees initiated the generation of appropriate risk assessments to ensure that risks including safeguarding issues around the provision of activities for children were considered. At all times government guidance and regulations have been followed to ensure the safety of a number of more elderly members of the congregation. 

The arrangement for hire of Blenheim School facilities is on an ad-hoc basis at a favourable charity rate and no long term agreement has been entered into so there is no unusual financial liability or lease agreement to be disclosed. With the increase in church membership over the period and consequent income increase, the trustees have maintained the hours of employment of the pastors at 4 days a week to cover their increased workload; the financial impact of which  the trustees judge do not impose risk to the charity's financial stability for the foreseeable future.'

## Responsibilities and basis of report 

As the charity trustees of the CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act'). 

I report in respect of my examination of the CIO's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## 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:

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 August 2022 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with 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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 'Recoverable gift aid is recognised when the related donation is received. Gift aid that has not been recovered by the balance sheet date is included as a debtor. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure includes value added tax and is accounted for on an accruals basis. Expenditure incurred directly on activities is grouped by activity; expenditure that cannot be allocated to any one activity is grouped under the heading 'Support Costs'. 

No grants were offered subject to conditions which had not been met at the year-end date. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the  Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate. 

## **Donated goods** 

Facilities, services and goods donated for the charity's own use are recognised as income when receivable at  their value to the charity. When donated facilities, services and goods are consumed, an expense in respect of those items is included in the Statement of Financial Activities. The charity relies on volunteers to carry out many of its activities however, in accordance with the SORP, the value of these services has not been included in these financial statements as they cannot be reliably measured. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Items purchased or donated for the charity's own use are capitalised when the cost of purchased items, or the fair value of donated items, is more than £250 and the item is expected to benefit the charity over more than one accounting period. Depreciation has been applied at the following rates: 

|Production equipment|25% on cost|
|---|---|
|Computer equipment|33% on cost|

The ongoing impact of COVID has been discussed by the trustees at every meeting. With the commencement of face to face Sunday meetings at Blenheim School in September 2021, the trustees initiated the generation of appropriate risk assessments to ensure that risks including safeguarding issues around the provision of activities for children were considered. At all times government guidance and regulations have been followed to ensure the safety of a number of more elderly members of the congregation. 

The arrangement for hire of Blenheim School facilities is on an ad-hoc basis at a favourable charity rate and no long term agreement has been entered into so there is no unusual financial liability or lease agreement to be disclosed. With the increase in church membership over the period and consequent income increase, the trustees have maintained the hours of employment of the pastors at 4 days a week to cover their increased workload; the financial impact of which the trustees judge do not impose risk to the charity's financial stability for the foreseeable future.'
