## **Notes to the Accounts** 

## **For the Year ended 31st December 2025** 

## **1 Accounting Policies** 

## **a) Basis of Preparation of Accounts** 

The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and include the results of the charity's operations, which are described in the Report of the Trustees and all of which are continuing. They have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and 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 the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) revised with effect from 1 January 2019. 

Barnwell Baptist Church CIO meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. 

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. 

The trustees do not consider that there are any sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next reporting period. 

## **b) Incoming Resources** 

Incoming resources are recognised in the year in which the charity is entitled to the receipt, and the amount can be measured with reasonable certainty.  Income is only deferred when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor has specified that the income is to be expended in a future period. 

## **c) Resources Expended** 

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred.  Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates. 

## **d) Pensions** 

The charity contributes to money purchase, defined contribution schemes, on behalf of its employees. No liability exists in respect of pensions other than monthly contributions due which is included within creditors. 

In July 2022, we were informed that the Baptist Pension Scheme was finally in surplus, with deficit repair contributions being reduced to £1 per employer per month from August 2022.  As a result, there is no outstanding deficit at the 31st December 2025.

## **Notes to the Accounts** 

## **For the Year ended 31st December 2025** 

## **1 Accounting Policies (continued)** 

## **e) Marleigh Property** 

The trustees consider that the market value of the Marleigh Property is in excess of its cost as shown in the accounts, and that in view of this there is no necessity to charge depreciation on the Building. 

## **f) Manse and Loan** 

In 2012, Barnwell Baptist Church, through the Baptist Union Corporation (BUC) purchased a Manse. This is held by the BUC as the property Trustees of the Church and is therefore not shown as an asset in these accounts. 

The Church received three interest-free loans and a loan from the BUC to enable this purchase, one of which was cleared back in 2018, with the 2 interest-free loans both converted into gifts in 2023. 

At the 31st December 2025, the outstanding liability stood at: - 

Baptist Union Corporation Loan £100,581 

This liability has not been included in these accounts as the asset to which it relates, the value of which exceeds this liability, is held by the BUC as the property Trustees of the Church. 

## **g) Church Building** 

The Church Building is held by the BUC as the property trustees of the Church and is therefore not shown as an asset in these accounts. 

## **h) Debtors** 

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

## **i) Creditors and Provisions** 

Creditors and provisions 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. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due.
