**CHRIST CHURCH HEMEL** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021** 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The church is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation and its governing document is a written Constitution approved and adopted at a church members' meeting held on 28[th] March 2018. The church was registered with the Charity Commission on 28th June 2018, with registered charity number 1178976. 

The church began operating as an independent charity on 1[st] September 2018, having started meeting as a congregation of Spicer Street Church (registered charity number 1173938) in October 2014. 

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

Recommendations to appoint new Elders (who are also the Trustees) are brought to the church members' meeting by the existing Eldership. They are appointed at a church members’ meeting via a resolution that must be passed by a 75% majority of the quorum present at the meeting. 

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

New Elders are briefed as necessary on their obligations under charity law, the Constitution and the decisionmaking processes of the church. 

## **Organisational structure** 

The Elders regularly review and discuss the affairs of the church. At church members' meetings, held regularly throughout the year, members review and make decisions concerning the affairs of the church in response to the leadership and work of the Elders and Treasurer. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Objectives and aims** 

The trustees are aware of the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and consider that the ministries and activities of the church in support of its objectives are consistent with that guidance. 

The primary objective of the church is the advancement of the Christian faith primarily but not exclusively in Hemel Hempstead and the surrounding neighbourhood, by teaching the Bible and promoting prayer and fellowship among believers. It also seeks to support other activities that put the Christian faith into practice, including the advancement for public benefit of religious education and the care of those who are aged, poor, sick or disabled. 

## **The church's ministries** 

During the year, the church had a pastor, Sam Buckley, and an assistant pastor, Dave Couch, who were primarily responsible for maintaining a regular ministry and pastoral care for the congregation. 

The church seeks to provide: 

1. A programme of meetings and events which seeks to deepen the spiritual lives of the individual members and provide opportunities for non-members to hear the Christian gospel, including: 

   - morning and evening meetings each Sunday; 

   - morning Sunday school; 

   - a mid-week programme, including bible study, prayer and teaching, which normally meet in members' homes. 

2. Various other teaching and outreach ministries in and around the local area, including Christianity Explored courses for those interested in the Christian faith and services in care homes for the elderly. 

3. A mid-week children’s club. 

4. Encouragement to its members to pray for the wider church and the needs of the world. 

5. Support for a missionary family working in Zambia. 

6. Support for a number of other organisations working in gospel ministry and care for the underprivileged in the UK and around the world.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021** 

## **Grantmaking** 

The church supports a number of individuals and organisations. Those who receive grants are regularly reminded that their support is regularly reviewed and may change according to circumstances and the availability of funds. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable activities** 

During the year ended 31 August 2021, the church has continued to focus on teaching the Bible and promoting prayer and fellowship, including through the teaching and outreach ministries outlined above. Many of these activities continued online during the year due to the Covid-19 pandemic but the Sunday morning meetings were able to resume in person for most of the year subject to government guidelines, as well as being streamed live for those who were unable to meet in person. 

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, some activities were not possible at all during the year, namely services in local care homes and the midweek children’s’ club. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Reserves policy** 

In September 2021, the trustees adopted a reserves policy to maintain a minimum level of reserves that is equivalent to 3-4 months’ general expenditure, which is sufficient to allow the church to operate without being affected by the uneven nature of the cash flow through the year. At the year-end, the church had unrestricted general reserves of £61,182, including cash reserves of £59,489, which is equivalent to 8-9 months’ general expenditure. The church is currently using the excess reserves to support the appointment of the assistant pastor. 

## **Principal funding sources** 

Regular funding of the ongoing ministry of the church is dependent on donations made by the church members and other donors, which for the year ended 31 August 2021 totalled £83,115. During the year, the church also received funding of £14,000 from trusts and charitable organisations towards the support of the church’s assistant pastor. 

## **Housing fund** 

During the year, the trustees commenced work on purchasing a property to house the pastor and his family, to replace the current rented property. The trustees designated £20,000 from the church’s reserves for this purpose during the year. The proposed scheme requires permission from the Charity Commission and the trustees are currently preparing an application to the Charity Commission for this permission.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021** 

## **TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES** 

Charity law requires Trustees to prepare accounts which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of its income and expenditure for the financial year.  In doing so, the Trustees are required to: 

- a) select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

- b) 

   - make judgements and estimates which are reasonable and prudent; 

- c) prepare the accounts on an ongoing concern basis, unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue in operation; 

- d) follow applicable accounting standards and the Charities SORP, disclosing and explaining any departures in the financial statements 

The Trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011. 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. The Trustees are also required to be aware of the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and to take it into account in their decision-making on behalf of the church.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2021** 

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Christ Church Hemel (the charity) for the period ended 31 August 2021. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the Trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with 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) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn. 

I understand that this has been done in order for financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. 

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 that in any material respect: 

- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or 

- 2 the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

- 3 the financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.

## **CHRIST CHURCH HEMEL** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

## 1 **Accounting Policies** 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policies below or the notes to these financial statements. The 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) issued on 16 July 2014 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Practice as it applies from 1 January 2015. The financial statements have been prepared to give a ‘true and fair’ view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a ‘true and fair view’. This departure has involved following 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) issued on 16 July 2014 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn. The charity constitutes a public benefit entity as defined by FRS 102. 

## **Incoming resources** 

All incoming resources are included on the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. 

Income is accounted for when received, with the exception of income tax recoverable on gift aid donations, and interest arising on deposits which are accounted for on an accruals basis. 

For legacies, entitlement is the earlier of the charity being notified of an impending distribution or the legacy being received. 

## **Resources expended** 

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.  Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure. Grants are recognised as a liability when the church is under an obligation to make a payment or the grant is paid over. 

## **Tangible fixed assets** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. No depreciation is charged in the year of purchase. 

IT/AV equipment  - 33⅓% on cost 

## **Debtors** 

Debtors are recognised at their settlement amount, less any provision for non-recoverability. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid. They have been discounted to the present value of the future cash receipt where such discounting is material. 

## **Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and in hand represents such accounts and instruments that are available on demand or have a maturity of less than three months from the date of acquisition. Deposits for more than three months but less than one year have been disclosed as short term deposits.

**CHRIST CHURCH HEMEL** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)** 

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

## **Creditors** 

Creditors and provisions are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are recognised at the amount the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt. 

## **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. Funds designated for a particular purpose by the church are also unrestricted. 

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. 

The accounts include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the church is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of church members. 

## **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. The assets of the scheme are held in a separately administered fund.
