## **BRISTOL CCRC TRUST** 

## **Trustee’s annual report for the year ending 31 December 2020** 

The Board of Trustees present their report and accounts for Bristol CCRC Trust for the period ending 31 December 2020. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing documents** 

Bristol CCRC Trust was established under a Memorandum of Association that established its objects and powers and is governed under its Articles of Association. Members of the charitable company guarantee to contribute an amount not exceeding £10 to the assets of the charitable company in the event of winding up. 

## **Structure** 

The Board of Trustees is responsible for the governance and management of the church. The leadership of the church's activities, development of its spiritual life and its daily management has been delegated to the Core Leadership Team who are supported in that role by senior clergy and staff. The Board of Trustees retains final decisions over policies, employment of staff and finance, and takes responsibility for all matters of legal and regulatory compliance and safeguarding. 

Trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no financial benefit from the charity. Trustees are appointed by Trustee members and can be appointed by ordinary resolution at a general meeting of members. 

## **Decision Making** 

All financial and strategic decisions over £10,000 are taken by the majority of the Board of Trustees. Any financial and strategic decisions over £5,000 are taken by the senior leadership and treasurer. The organisational implementation of the strategy is carried out by senior leadership and staff. 

## **Training** 

All staff, volunteers and trustees undergo a formal recruitment and selection process, followed by an induction period that includes any training considered necessary to effectively perform their role. The senior leader of the church is a member of clergy, whose pay is set via stipend, the level of which is set by the Diocese. 

## **Volunteers** 

The church benefits from the dedicated work of a great number of volunteers. In accordance with FRS 102 and the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the economic contribution of general volunteers is not recognised in the accounts. 

## **Risk Management** 

Internal financial risks are managed by the implementation of financial procedures for the collection, banking and recording of all donations and the authorisation and recording of all expenditure. The company has a Safeguarding Officer and a safeguarding policy. The company also has a data protection policy and Health and Safety policy. Policies are reviewed annually. 

Due to COVID 19, additions were made to the Health and Safety policy regarding the risks associated with the pandemic as well as to the safeguarding policy regarding digital conduct and safety.

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

Bristol CCRC Trust, acting under the name of St Nicholas Bristol, is an Anglican church led by Revd Toby Flint who was commissioned by the Bishop of Bristol in 2017 to plant a resource church into the centre of Bristol. 

Our objectives are set out in our governing document, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, which was agreed by the Board of Trustees on 18 December 2017. 

## **Our objectives:** 

The advancement of the Christian religion principally: 

- through the provision of an Anglican place of worship in Bristol, and 

- by contributing towards the establishment, renewal and revitalisation of churches within the Anglican communion. 

The Board of Trustees is committed to the vision statement of the church to play our part in the evangelisation of the nation, the revitalisation of the church and the transformation of society. In accordance with the vision statement, the church aims to meet its objectives through the provision of public services of worship, religious teaching, evangelistic events and courses, social action, instruction and support for family life and resourcing and planting churches. Given the diversity of the church’s activities, performance is measured on a case by case basis. 

## **Public Benefit** 

In accordance with our duties as stated in section 17(5) of the Charities Act, we have considered the guidance provided by the Charity Commission in regard to public benefit. This public benefit has been demonstrated by the activities undertaken since inception of the charity outlined in this document. 

## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** 

2020 was a challenging year for most of the UK with the outbreak of COVID-19 restricting activity in many areas of society. For St Nicholas, when the government announced lockdown in March the majority of our activity moved online including Sunday services, Alpha and other courses, Groups and kids and youth ministry. The exception was our social action work which increased in activity as the needs of the city became more apparent. Highlights from the period under review include: 

## **Social Action** 

We continue to invest in establishing strong connections with local organisations, businesses and other Bristol churches, to help address the needs of the city. As part of the Love Your Neighbour campaign the church partnered with Food Banks and sheltered housing to provide weekly food parcels and food deliveries. Over the Christmas period we distributed an additional 700 parcels to homeless, families in need, those isolating and pupils at two primary schools. 

To address the rising rate of unemployment in the wake of CVOID 19, St Nicholas ran a ReWork pilot programme before Christmas which was successful in empowering individuals on their employment journeys. The church is running a further three courses in 2021 along with a debt advice programme. 

With schools closing for a large part of the year, the need for support for children has only increased. Spark continued with mentoring those at risk of exclusion from school, online and, when possible, in person.

The Begin Well course ran three times last year providing affordable and accessible antenatal education when it’s most needed. The response from new parents was hugely positive. 

## **Digital innovation** 

Through the means of technology, investing in cameras, learning and developing skills, we have innovated a direct way to connect with our congregation at home as well as providing a wider platform to reach those who may not have experienced church or Christianity. As well as Sundays this digital innovation has extended into all areas of church ministry including Groups and all courses such as Alpha, Marriage Course, Begin Well. 

## **Alpha Online** 

We saw over 250 people join us for Alpha online between April and December, running five courses at one time with over 100 people joining in each week. Through central training we were able to share our experience and learnings of running Alpha in this new landscape across the diocese in online training sessions. 

## **Marriage and Pre-Marriage** 

We ran our first ever Pre-Marriage course for 12 couples and Marriage Course for 13 couples, with a combined team of 6 couples. The logistics had to be adapted to facilitate online engagement but we received positive feedback from both courses. It was encouraging to see couples from different backgrounds and with different experiences connecting in a way that a course in real life wouldn't have allowed. 

## **Church Online** 

In a year where we saw ourselves going in and out of lockdown, our Sunday services remained at the heart of our engagement. Through churches closing for congregational worship, an opportunity arose for worship to be taken out of the building and into individuals’ homes. Live services were streamed from the St Nicholas building every week with people attending in person when restrictions allowed. Alongside this we have invested in recording and producing weekly worship sets from the St Nicks Worship team providing the congregation with the tools to worship from wherever they are. 

## **Creativity in reaching children and families** 

Although our children's ministry was not able to continue as usual from March the team showed creativity in continuing to journey with families both in person and remotely with YouTube content and Sunday Services. In the Autumn term we started a Sunday service aimed at connecting with the whole family. When we were able to meet in person these 9.30am services were so popular they had to be duplicated. Despite the circumstances we saw our families grow in number and strength of community across the year. 

## **Youth** 

At the beginning of 2020 we launched a monthly youth service for those between the ages of 11 and 16. Following the outbreak of COVID the youth service moved online and is now run weekly via YouTube with increasing levels of engagement. Alongside this we have continued to connect with our youth and the local community through zoom hangouts and our social media platforms. When able, we have hosted a number of in person gatherings for the young people to attend. 

## **Students**

2020 started with a fantastic student weekend away with 46 heading to Ledbury. When we were no longer able to gather we continued with biweekly student evenings online and launched eight small groups that met in sixes. Our autumn student gatherings in the building were regularly attended by 50 people with worship and teaching. 

## **Leadership Development** 

In September we launched our first Leadership Development Year with three incredible apprentices between 18 and 26. Each apprentice serves a particular ministry area, social action, worship or kids ministry, and receives weekly teaching. The year will end in June with a second group of LDYs starting in Sept 2021. 

## **Groups** 

In 2020, Groups continued to grow. By the end of the year we had over 250 people involved and 40 leaders across 18 groups. This accounts for an estimated 45% of the church worshipping community connected with Groups. Many have described Groups as "the best way to get connected quickly and more deeply in the life of the church", others have described Groups as a "lifeline" during times of isolation in the pandemic. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

The Core Leadership Team (CLT) has identified four priorities for 2021 and beyond, linked to the idea of putting down roots. It was felt that though the church was planted in 2018 it sometimes felt like a pot plant, healthy in itself, but with restricted room for growth. The four priorities or roots are: **discipleship, leadership, social action and church planting** . A focus on discipleship aims to develop Christian maturity in the congregation and increase levels of commitment. A focus on leadership aims to raise up a younger, more diverse leadership team and counteract the staff-dependent culture which can act as a bottleneck. A focus on social action in Bristol will enable stronger links with our local context, other churches and the council. A focus on church planting will help us to make plans concrete with the Diocese, and get us ready to take on the operational and financial challenge of sending teams. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

In the period to the end of December 2020, St Nicholas raised a total of £377k (2019 £240k) against expenditure of £358k (2019 £216k). Unrestricted funds received totalled £292k (2019 £225k) with a balance of £325k (2019 £201k) of funds carried forward into 2021. Restricted funds received totalled £85k (2019 £15k) with a balance of £142k (2019 £247k). 

For more details behind these figures please refer to the financial statements following this report. 

## **RESERVES POLICY** 

It is the aim of the trustees that the free reserves (unrestricted and not represented by fixed assets) held by the charity should cover 3-6 months of unrestricted expenditure. This equates to approximately £42k - £84k. At this level the trustees feel that they would be able to continue the current activities of the charity in the event of a significant drop in funding. Should this happen, it would also be necessary to consider how the funding would be replaced or activities changed. The church currently has more than adequate free reserves going forward into 2021 of £302k. The trustees keep reserves under constant review.

## **SAFEGUARDING** 

The Board of Trustees have adopted the Diocese of Bristol’s safeguarding policy relating to children, young people and vulnerable people and appointed Mr Zak Verry as the Safeguarding Officer. The Safeguarding Officer has completed the necessary diocese training courses in safeguarding young people and vulnerable adults. 

The trustees are committed to the principles of best practice in relation to safeguarding and comply with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 in respect of having due regard to House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults. The guidance can be read in full on the Church of England official website. 

## **THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES IN RELATION TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

Charity law requires the trustees to prepare a statement of financial activities and statement of assets and liabilities for each financial year, which gives a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the church and of its financial activities for that year and adequately distinguishes any material special trust or other restricted fund of the church.  In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether the policies adopted are in accordance with the appropriate SORP on Accounting by Charities and the Accounting Regulations and with applicable accounting standards, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

- prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the church will continue to operate. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose, with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the church, and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with applicable Accounting Standards and Statements of Recommended Practice and the regulations made under the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the church and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF Bristol CCRC Trust Ltd (St Nicholas, Bristol) ('the Company')** 

## **Independent examiner’s report to the Trustees of Bristol CCRC Trust Ltd.** 

I report on the financial statements of the charitable company for the year ended 31 December 2020, which comprise the statement of financial activities, balance sheet, related notes and are set out on pages 10 to 15. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity’s trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act).  The charity is required by company law to prepare accrual based accounts. 

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under part 16 of the 2006 Companies Act and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to: 

- examine the financial statements under section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

This report, including my statement, has been prepared for and only for the charity’s trustees as a body.  My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s trustees those matters that I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to any other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body for my examination work, for this report or for the statements that I have made. 

## **Basis of independent examiner’s report** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 you as 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’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent examiner’s statement** 

I have completed by examination. I confirm that no matter has come to my attention: 

   - which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements 

   - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 and section 130 of the 2011 Act ; and 

   - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and Regulation 8 of the Accounts Regulations and the 2011 Act 

   - have not been met; or 

- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **BRISTOL CCRC TRUST LTD (ST NICHOLAS, BRISTOL) Notes to the accounts** 

**For the period ended 31st December 2020** 

## **1  ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 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 Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. 

Bristol CCRC Trust Ltd meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s). 

The trustees consider that the Bristol CCRC Trust Ltd is a going concern and have accordingly prepared the accounts under the historical basis of accounting. 

The trustees are confident that with the continued support of the congregation, and appropriate management of expenditure, the church is a going concern and will continue to be financially viable in the foreseeable future. Budgets and cash flow forecasts are in place for 2021 and levels of free reserves at the start of 2021 were at over £300k. 

## **Funds** 

General funds represent the funds of the charity that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the church.  Restricted funds are those donated for specific purposes. 

## **Income** 

## _Voluntary income and capital sources_ 

Donations and other income are recognised when received and an estimate of income tax recoverable is recognised  when the related donations are recognised. 

Grants and legacies to the Trust are accounted for as soon as the church is notified of its legal entitlement, the amount due is quantifiable and its ultimate receipt by the church is  probable. 

## **Fixed assets** 

Additions and improvements to the newly acquired church premises are written off as incurred. Only items costing £1,000 or above are capitalised. Fixed assets are depreciated on a straight line basis as follows: 

Improvements to the buildings: 10 years Fixtures and fittings including electricals: 5 years Plant & machinery including sound and audio: 5 years Computer equipment: 3 years
