## **BRISTOL CCRC TRUST** 

## **Trustee’s annual report for the year ending 31 December 2021** 

The Board of Trustees present their report and accounts for Bristol CCRC Trust for the period ending 31 December 2021. 

## **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 ordinary resolution by members, existing trustees or by the Bishop of Bristol in her corporate capacity. 

## **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 that is reviewed annually. The company also has a data protection policy and  health and safety policy. 

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** 

**Page 4** 

Bristol CCRC Trust, St Nicholas Church, St Nicholas Street, Bristol, BS1 1UE Company no. 11115823. Charity no. 1178905 




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. 

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, envagelistic 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. 

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 church’s objects are restricted specifically, only for the public benefit to 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. 

## **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** 

COVID continued to impact St Nicholas into 2021 with many of the church's activities remaining online for the first half of 2021. However, as restrictions lifted we were able to do more in person services, gatherings and events. Highlights from the period under review include: 

- In another year of change and restriction, our Sunday services remained at the heart of our engagement, meeting both in person and online with services live streamed every week. By the end of the year our AWA attendance was around 280 adults and children. 

- Through opportunities provided in our Sunday services we have been investing in raising up young leaders under 30 in hosting and speaking with a large number of those involved in that demographic. Our two Preach It! Sundays provided a platform for a number of first time speakers to deliver a 5 minute message which was well received at both the morning and evening services. 

- At our baptism services in July and September we baptised 14 people including six infants and eight adults, many of whom had come to St Nicholas through Alpha. 

- St Nicholas celebrated Christmas with carol services across two Sundays in December with over 750 attending. The church also partnered with a local pub to host beer and carols in St 

**Page 5**

Nicholas Street which was attended by both congregation members, their friends and anyone passing by. 

- In September we took on the lease of a new space across the road from the church for use mid week by the staff team, social action courses and events and, on Sundays, for our kids groups to meet in. The space has also been used by Student mission groups on a number of occasions. 

- With restrictions easing and access to the new kids venue, St Nicholas returned to running Sunday kids and youth groups in the summer. It's been wonderful to be able to focus on growing these two ministries. 

- In October the youth group went on their first weekend away with 27 11-16 year olds, a quarter of whom had very little connection with church and had been invited by a friend. The kids team also hosted its first light party which saw families enjoying a neon themed morning of games, crafts and a silent disco. 

- We continued to gather students weekly for food, teaching and worship which has fostered a sense of community between both returning and new students. The team are planning for a weekend away in the spring of 2022. 

- In September we were joined by five apprentices for the Leadership Development Year (LDY) with each apprentice serving a particular ministry area - social action, Alpha, worship & prayer, kids, youth ministry - and receiving weekly teaching. The year will end in July with a new group of LDYs starting in Sept 2022. 

- In 2021 there was a particular focus on discipleship through groups and a trial mentoring programme for those in their 20s. By the end of the year over 50% of the church community had connected with Groups at some point. The mentoring programme was utilised by X in their 20s and we now plan on rolling out across the church from Feb 2022. 

- Alpha ran three times over the course of the year, twice online (Spring & Summer term) and once in person (Autumn term), with over 145 attending. In the Autumn term St Nicholas joined two other churches for the Alpha Weekend away. 

- The church celebrated its third year since opening with a number of invitational events, including a comedy jazz gig night, Saturday pop up shop, party and silent disco. The congregation were encouraged to invite friends and family to them all with the church extending the invitation to the entire BS1 neighbourhood. 

- Following an increased need for food provision, throughout 2021 St Nicholas supported two food banks and a number of sheltered homes, increasing support to additional sheltered homes in the first half of the year. We now support six locations weekly with food parcels and recipe bags. 

- The church ran four Rework courses in 2021 in response to the increase in unemployment rates nationally. Alongside this, we also ran our first CAP Money and Life skills course with excellent feedback from the participants.

- Spark now supports two schools within the city with 1-2-1 mentoring and recently established group reading sessions. There are now 11 coaches from St Nicholas who provide weekly support to primary school children at risk of exclusion. 

- Over 40 parents went through the Begin Well Course, a free antenatal course run by experienced medical professionals for those who couldn’t normally afford other antenatal classes 

- The Tastelife course was run twice in 2021 with 12 participants joining. Tastelife is a charity offering courses for those experiencing eating disorders and their carers. 

- St Nicholas has responded to the recent crisis in Afghanistan by supporting refugees being housed in local Bristol hotels through providing access to Little Nicks, the weekly toddler group. Over 50 have attended with a regular group of 10 parents coming weekly. The church continues to establish relationships with local charities supporting refugees eg. Baby Basics, Bridges for Community, Welcome Churches 

- In December, St Nicholas packed and delivered 1000 Christmas bags into the local community. Bags were distributed to the homeless and those working in the sex industry, as well as the two schools supported through SPARK. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

The Core Leadership Team (CLT) has identified the three priorities for 2022 and beyond. The three priorities are: discipleship, leadership 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 across all areas of church ministry. A focus on church planting will help us to make concrete plans, in partnership with the Diocese, to take on the operational and financial challenge of sending a planting team into a new church plant in Bristol and begin to prepare for future plants. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

In the period to the end of December 2021, St Nicholas raised a total of £521k (2020: £377k) against expenditure of £469k (2020: £358k). Unrestricted funds received totalled £448k (2020: £292k) with a balance of £435k (2020: £325k) of unrestricted funds carried forward into 2022. Restricted funds received totalled £74k (2020 £85k) with a balance of £85k (2020 £142k) on restricted funds carried forward into 2022. 

The primary funding source for St Nicholas is the congregational giving which totalled £375k in 2021. Grants, both restricted and unrestricted, totalled £128k and included a grant of £60k from the Jerusalem Trust towards the work of St Nicholas as a resource church. 

## **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 £84k - £169k. 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 

**Page 7** 

Bristol CCRC Trust, St Nicholas Church, St Nicholas Street, Bristol, BS1 1UE Company no. 11115823. Charity no. 1178905 




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 2022 of £415k. 

## **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 2021, which comprise the statement of financial activities, balance sheet, related notes and are set out on pages 10 to 18. 

## **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 2021** 

## **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 2022 and levels of free reserves at the start of 2022 were at over £400k. 

## **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 

## **Current assets** 

Amounts owing to the church at 31 December in respect of fees, rents or other income such as gift aid are shown as debtors less provision for amounts that may prove uncollectable.
