## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES CONTINUED**
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing Documents**
Headley Park Church Constitution’ and ‘Headley Park Church Handbook’ both of which were adopted on 15 April 2018. This constitutes an incorporated charity.
## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees**
The method of admission to membership to Headley Park Church (hereinafter referred to as “HPC”) and appointment as a Deacon or Elder is set out in the Church Rules. At HPC the managing trustees consist of the Senior Pastor, Elders and Deacons who have been elected by those people who have been admitted into full membership of the church. All those who are able to agree with our basis of faith and submit to the church rules are encouraged to apply to become members of the church. All persons who have been full members for at least six months are able to apply for any vacancies on the diaconate that arise from time to time. The managing trustees are responsible for making decisions on all matters of general concern and importance to the church, including deciding how the funds are to be spent.
The managing trustees have formed sub-teams of Deacons to investigate matters in relation to property, finance and administration and then make recommendations to the managing trustees, who will decide how to act.
The Elders retain spiritual oversight of the church, in accordance with the church rules.
The managing trustees met eleven times during the year.
## **AIM AND PURPOSES**
Headley Park Church (HPC) exists to advance the Christian faith primarily but not exclusively within Bristol and the surrounding neighbourhood and to undertake such other charitable purposes that further the work of the Church.
Our aim is to transform lives and communities for Jesus.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
HPC is a Bible-centred, family church looking to serve people. We believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that His death and resurrection are good news for everyone who trusts in him. We aim to live out our faith in Christ in the community around us and we welcome as many people as possible to join in any of our regular activities, regardless of belief or background.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES CONTINUED**
When planning our activities for the year, the church has considered the Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. We try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our community through:
Worship and prayer, learning about the Gospel; and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus.
Provision of pastoral care for people living in the local community Missionary and outreach work
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
## **Charitable activities**
The Trustees confirm that they have had regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission. The main achievements of the charity during the year were:
## **Worship and Prayer**
HPC has continued to offer a range of services during the week and over the course of the year that our community find both beneficial and spiritually fulfilling. Our services provide an opportunity to hear a message from the Bible in a way that is inspiring and encouraging. During our morning services we focus on the Good News of Jesus and how it is relevant to 21[st] Century life. Our evening services provide an opportunity for people to consider how the Bible can be applied to their day-today lives.
During the pandemic we created ways for people to access our services online and these have continued. This has proved to be beneficial to the elderly and infirm particularly. We have also offered a CD and DVD service for those unable to access online content. These have either been posted with a personalised card or hand delivered by a member of the staff team. The advantage of hand delivery has meant personal contact between a vulnerable adult and a member of the staff team on a weekly basis. This has enabled us to strengthen links with those in the community accessing this service and to address practical needs as they have come up.
The church has continued to grow and now often has more than 170 people present on a Sunday morning. Many of these are new arrivals to the UK from other countries, although others are local people looking for a place to explore the Christian faith. It has also been encouraging to have more than 70 children attending Sunday worship services, and more than twenty teenagers joining the Sunday evening youth work.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES CONTINUED**
We have continued to provide enriching activities for young people in the local community and have continued to provide opportunities for teenagers to express their faith. We have fully integrated the young people into the life of the church. Some use their musical talents; some work with younger children; some operate the AV equipment; some welcome newcomers to the services. We also have fully relaunched our Friday night youth programme for children aged 7 to 14. The four groups have more than 100 children coming regularly to them.
The church is very much at the heart of the local community at Christmas time. We use the season to support other local charities including the Withywood Food Bank and also South Bristol Children’s services. We gave food to both services; advent calendars to the Food Bank; and collected over 100 bags of groceries for families supported by South Bristol Children’s services. Our services were well attended and we introduced an additional carol service involving two local teenagers’ musical skills.
The church places an important emphasis on prayer. We hold daily prayer meetings on Zoom. These are attended by a wide range of people at very different stages of life, including some elderly people who struggle to attend in-person events and those in their workplaces who can join in from there.
We know that many people struggle with their mental health. As a church we employ a counsellor to run sessions on Tuesdays. These are free of charge to those who need them. We also have close links with a local home for adults with learning difficulties. Several of these adults regularly attend services and other activities at HPC. We also run a weekly daytime group, which is attended by those with mental health needs and those who are retired. A further group has been established on a Wednesday, meeting monthly, mainly supporting older widows.
We also offer support to a number of other local churches to enable them to hold worship services by providing speakers. We also have church leaders on two governing boards for local schools and one of the pastors delivers a weekly assembly in Cheddar Grove Primary School.
## **The Church Premises**
The church premises are used nearly every day by church and community groups. On Mondays we have an over 60s club (regularly attended by more than 50 OAPs). On Tuesdays and Thursdays we have a “music with mummies” group run by a local entrepreneur. On Tuesdays Alcoholics Anonymous use our community hall in the evening. On Fridays we have a toddler group in the mornings and run a variety of youth clubs in the evenings (regularly attended by over 70 children and teenagers from the local community). Saturdays the community hall is often rented for children’s parties or the main building for breakfasts or brunches which are very popular with men and women living locally. Sundays church is busy all day. We have two services and numerous groups for children, from babies through to those in college or VI form.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES CONTINUED**
## **Pastoral Care**
We have two kitchens that meet stringent health and safety requirements and we have ensured that we have sufficient members who have the relevant certification. This allows us to offer lunches and allow members of the community to use the building for birthday parties and other community events.
## **Mission and Evangelism**
Many of the activities identified above would also form part of our evangelism strategy.
We have held special services around Easter and Christmas that have proved very popular with the local community. We distributed information leaflets and Christmas cards to update the community about what is going on in the church and this keeps people informed of matters affecting our Church.
We packed “Presents for Prisoners” at Christmas time, so those in jail locally get at least one gift to open, as well as providing food for the local Food Bank in Withywood and for South Bristol Children’s services.
## **Staffing**
We employed a young man on a short-term contract who was exploring whether he was called to pastoral ministry. We not only paid living expenses but gave him access to an online Masters programme in Applied Theology.
## **Outside relationships**
The church is a member of the FIEC and adopts the FIEC Basis of Faith as its own. We are also part of the South West gospel partnership, where one of the pastors heads-up youth work across the region and serves on the SWGP board. The same pastor also is the leader of Contagious West (a residential week for over 100 teenagers)
## **Volunteers**
We would like to thank all the volunteers who work so hard to make our church the lively and vibrant community it is. In particular, we want to mention our Deacons who have worked tirelessly on behalf of the church and for their invaluable contribution to our ministry as Trustees of the charity. We also want to acknowledge all the work done by other volunteers as the church has come out of the pandemic and many of our church ministries have returned to normal.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES CONTINUED**
## F **inancial review**
Income this year was £267,334 (2022: £219,901) and expenditure was £255,746 (2022: £189,376). As a result, net assets increased from £2,031,276 to £2,042,865. We are thankful for the generous gifts of our members and congregation in an economic climate that has continued to be difficult for many. Expenses that were previously reduced due to not being able to hold many of our normal activities, have reached higher pre-pandemic levels. The trustees intend to use a majority of the surplus for expenses during pastor sabbaticals due in 23/24, as well as other core outreach / pastoral expenditure.
## **Reserves policy**
It is HPC policy to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds (if possible) which equates to three months’ voluntary income, approximately £30,000 to cover emergency situations that may arise from time to time. At the end of the year unrestricted reserves represented by net current assets (ie excluding properties) amounted to £211,646 (2022: £204,112) which is significantly greater than the reserve amount needed. The trustees are monitoring the level of reserves and have used some in 23/24 for one off spending outside of the normal budget. They are also considering the use of the remaining reserves, which will possibly be spent on improving the acoustics within the church building, improving the disabled access to the building, or to be put towards the refurbishment of the Community Hall situated on site. As the church has recently (Jan 2024) sent a team to Philip Street Chapel as part of a revitalisation project there, the trustees expect the income to drop and so are being prudent in not committing to all of these projects at once.
## **Principal funding sources**
The charity is mainly dependent on the generosity of individuals and trusts and the associated Gift Aid to continue its work.
## **Responsibilities of trustees under charity law**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees' annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the charity as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including income and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
1. select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
2. observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
3. make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
7
4. state whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
5. prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. 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.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF**
## **HEADLEY PARK CHURCH ('the Charity')**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2023 on pages 10 to 19 following, which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out on pages 12 to 13.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity’s trustees of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation 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 Charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
Since the Charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
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.
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.

## **HEADLEY PARK CHURCH**
## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**
## **1 Statutory Information**
The charity is a charitable incorporated organisation registered with the Charity Commission in England & Wales. The charity's registered number and principal address can be found on the Charity Information page.
## **2 Accounting Policies**
These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention.
These 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 (FRS 102) ("the Charities SORP"), with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102") and with the Charities Act 2011. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as set out in FRS 102.
The Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 (the '2008 Regulations') requires charities to prepare their accounts in accordance with 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005' but this accounting standard has since been withdrawn and has been replaced by the Charities SORP mentioned in the preceding paragraph. The charity has prepared these financial statements in accordance with the new Charities SORP; this departure from the 2008 Regulations is believed to be necessary for these financial statements to give a 'true and fair view'.
The previous year's accounts were prepared using the receipts and payments basis but, this year, the charity was obliged to prepare its accounts using the accruals basis. The results for 2022, which are comparatives quoted in these accounts, have been restated using the accruals basis (see note 15 for details).
The principles adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.
## a) Going concern
The trustees have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular the trustees have considered the charity's forecasts and projections and the possible implications should projected income and / or expenditure vary unexpectedly. The trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
## b) Income
Income including investment income is recognised in the period in which the charity becomes entitled to receipt, the amount receivable can be measured with reasonable certainty, and receipt is probable. For the most part, income is generally recognised when it is received. 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.
Income from donations and legacies includes:
- i) Recoverable gift aid. This 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.
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.
Income from charitable activities represents income receivable from goods, services and facilities supplied in furtherance of the charity's charitable objects. It includes income from church retreats and other events and courses.
Income from other trading activities represents income receivable from activities undertaken to generate funds for the charity.
## c) Expenditure
Expenditure, including irrecoverable VAT, is recognised when it is incurred or, if earlier, when a legal or constructive obligation for a payment arises provided that it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
The charity makes grants to other institutions and individuals to further its charitable objectives. Grants payable are recognised as constructive obligations arise, which is generally when the charity expresses a commitment to the recipient that can be measured reliably and then only to the extent that any conditions associated with the grant are outside of the control of the charity.
Governance costs, which are included in expenditure on charitable activities but are identified separately in the notes to the accounts, includes costs associated with the independent examination of the financial statements, compliance with constitutional and statutory requirements and any other expenditure incurred on the strategic management of the charity.

## **HEADLEY PARK CHURCH**
## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023**
## d) Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are donations which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors; they include donations received from appeals for specific activities or projects. Endowment funds are donations that are retained as capital in accordance with the donor's wishes. The nature of the restriction determines whether the endowments represent permanent endowments or expendable endowments.
## e) 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 £1,000 and the item is expected to benefit the charity over more than one accounting period. Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis so as to write down the value of each asset to its estimated residual value (if any) over its expected useful economic life. To achieve this objective the following rates of depreciation are charged:
Freehold land and buildings
Is not depreciated (because it is not consumed by use)
The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment in periods when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
## f) Pension scheme arrangements
The charity operates defined contribution pension schemes for its employees. Obligations for contributions to these schemes are recognised as an expense when the liability arises. The assets of these schemes are held separately from those of the charity in independently administered funds.
g) Taxation The charity has taken advantage of the various reliefs from taxation available to charities and no tax is payable on the charity's income.
h) Financial instruments The charity's financial assets and financial liabilities all qualify as basic financial instruments, as defined by FRS102. Except for loans, creditors and debtors are measured at their expected settlement value (normally the amount of cash that the charity expects to pay or receive). The charity recognises liabilities for the principal of those loans that remains outstanding at the year end (i.e. the liabilities exclude any interest chargeable on the loans in future years).
## i) Exemption from preparing a cashflow statement
The charity has taken advantage of an exemption conferred by the Charities SORP and has not prepared a cash flow statement.
## j) Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement
The trustees do not consider that there are any material sources of estimation or uncertainty at the balance sheet date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities in the next reporting period.
