ALBANS Charitable Incorporated Organisation no. 1179002** ## **TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022** Psalm 122 verse 1: I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord.” We share that joy with the psalmist; it has been a great encouragement to us to return to our normal routine of meeting for public worship with no restrictions. The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ending 31st December 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: applicable to charities preparing their financial statements on a Receipts and Payments basis CC16b. ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** ## **Objectives and Aims** The trustees have based their report on the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. The church’s objectives, activities and their decision making related to that are, in the opinion of the trustees, compliant with that guidance. The primary objective of the church is the advancement of the Christian faith, both in the UK and overseas, by the teaching of the Bible and by promoting prayer and fellowship amongst Christian believers. The church also seeks the advancement of public benefit through religious education of the Christian faith. ## **The Church’s Pastoral Team** Our pastoral team comprises a Senior Pastor, Simon Ogbourn and an Assistant Pastor, Charles Reid. Charles joined the team in August after our previous Assistant Pastor Ian Randall left to join Christchurch Harpenden. ## **The Church’s Ministries** The regular public meetings of the church are held at Sandringham School and at the Jersey Farm Community Centre and on an ad hoc basis other locations in and around St Albans. The Sunday morning services at Sandringham School are also broadcast weekly on the church’s YouTube channel for the benefit of church members, who would otherwise be unable to attend, and for anyone worldwide who chooses to join us. During the morning service we run a creche for children up to nursery age, Bible club classes for primary aged children and Crossway for early secondary aged children (up to Year 9). Our weeknight meetings continued throughout 2022, alternating small group Bible studies and church prayer meetings. We continue to use Zoom for occasional meetings: once a month we meet on Zoom for the Sunday evening service; every few months we meet for our week night church prayer meeting on Zoom; some week night Bible study groups use a hybrid arrangement, with some members meeting face to face and others joining using Zoom. The hybrid style meeting allows all church members the opportunity to meet for Bible study and prayer and to enjoy the encouragement of Christian fellowship. Other ministry groups continued this year: the women’s Bible study groups; the men’s and women’s Saturday morning breakfast. It was not possible to meet monthly at Park Side View residential care home and only four meetings were possible in 2022. The weekly cafe at the Jersey Farm Community Centre has continued to be a significant link with the wider community, with a good attendance on a Friday afternoon. The annual MacMillan cafe in September raised £404 for the charity. 1 Through 2022 we have seen an increase in the number of Hong Kong families joining our congregation. We have had a number of events aimed at helping these families adjust to our culture. In February we hosted a Chinese New Year event to which more than 300 people came. This New Year event gave the church a greater visibility to the Hong Kong community in St Albans and we followed it up with three ‘International Cafe’ events (iCafe). These three events had the focus of: idiomatic use of English and greetings; accessing health care and the NHS; and the English education system. We used the experience of professionals in health care and education in our church fellowship to develop our own material for the iCafe events. The events were well received and provided some of the visitors with the cultural understanding and tools to flourish in St Albans. We plan to continue to host New Year and iCafe events in 2023. We had our church Away Day on 30th April 2022 at All Nations Christian College. Rev Dr Nick Tucker was the speaker for the event and he chose as his topic the theme of his recent book: ‘12 Things God Cannot Do’. The day was a time of great fellowship and stimulating teaching in the beautiful environment of the college. We have for a number of years distributed invitations to the Marshalswick and Jersey Farm housing estates. At Christmas we added open-air carol singing to our distribution of invitations. We were very encouraged by the number of people who joined us in singing carols. Our annual carol singing at the Blackberry Jack pub in Jersey Farm was also very well attended. ## **Grant Making** The church supports a number of individuals and organisations. We support a family living and working in Japan; in Sapporo on the island of Hokkaido. The family are members of the OMF missionary organisation. All grants are approved by the Church Business Meeting and are included in the annual budget. The grants are reviewed regularly to assess the needs of the recipients and the availability of funds. As part of our concern for different causes, including local secular charities as well as Christian relief agencies, we have appeals at Christmas and at Harvest (September) to raise money for their support. (See page 13). ## **Receipt of Grants** In 2022 grants of £9,000 were received to assist in the support of our Assistant Pastor. ## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** ## **Charitable Activities** The church has continued to focus on the teaching of the Bible and promoting prayer and fellowship through the teaching and outreach ministries outlined above. ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** ## **Principal Funding Sources** Ridgeway Church St Albans continues to be primarily dependent upon the donations made by the church members. We are grateful to God for the continued financial support from the Ridgeway Church fellowship throughout 2022. ## **Investment Policy and Objectives** The church’s sole property asset is a 74.55659% share in the home of the Senior Pastor. 2 ## **Reserves Policy** It is not the policy of the church to increase general reserves. At the end of 2022 the church had reserves equivalent to an expenditure of 14 weeks. In our Balance Sheet we have a designated Building Fund Reserve which currently stands at £50,431. ## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** ## **Governing Document** The church’s governing document is the written Constitution approved at a church members’ meeting held on 3rd May 2018. The church is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation with registration number 1179002. ## **Recruitment and Appointment of New Trustees** Recommendations to appoint new Trustees are brought to the Church Business Meeting by the Trustees. They are appointed at a church meeting by a resolution that must be passed by a majority of 75% of the quorum then present. The trustees comprise the Senior Pastor, the Assistant Pastor and three non-pastoral team members. The recruitment of trustees is set out in the Church’s Handbook and Constitution. The non-pastoral team trustees are appointed for a five year term of office; the pastoral team trustees remain trustees until they resign as pastoral team members. ## **Recruitment and Appointment of the Treasurer** Recommendations to appoint a new treasurer are brought to the Church Business Meeting by the trustees. The treasurer is appointed at the church meeting by a resolution that must be passed by a majority of 75% of the quorum then present. The treasurer is appointed for a five year term of office. ## **Organisational Structure** The trustees meet fortnightly alternating between prayer and church business. They also regularly meet with the treasurer to review and discuss the financial affairs of the church. The agenda for the Church Business Meetings (CBM) is set by the trustees; CBMs are held regularly throughout the year. At these meetings members review and make decisions in response to the leadership and work of the trustees and treasurer. All important matters concerning finance are brought to the church members for decision. The annual budget is approved by the Church Business Meeting normally held in November, before the start of our new financial year. One trustee meets regularly with the treasurer to discuss financial aspects of the church’s work. Another trustee has the responsibility for safeguarding; to ensure that the church complies with the policy approved by church members. ## **Induction and Training of New Trustees and Treasurers** New trustees and treasurers are briefed as necessary on their obligations under charity law, the Ridgeway Church St Albans Constitution and the decision-making processes of the church. ## **Risk Management** The trustees routinely assess the risks that the church faces including financial, pastoral and other physical risks. These include but are not limited to: completing Risk Assessment forms to cover each church activity; arranging appropriate insurance cover; safeguarding risks for church activities. 3 Safeguarding is the responsibility of all church members, p8rtFcularty those involved in leading church ministries. The safeguarding training that eath volunteer must attend emphasises the fact that each person has a responsibility for the care of each child and vulnerable adutt. Every volunteer Involv￿ is routinely DBS ch￿ked and encouraged to sign up to the DBS update service. Final responsibility for safeguarding ultimately lies with the trustees and the trustee responsible for safeguarding submits an annual safeguarding report to the trustees. The church is a 'Gold' memter of the Christian Safeguarding Services {hltPS liiecss co.uki . The church's safeguarding policy was reWs￿l in 2021, based on th8 model policy prepared by Christian Safeguarding SeNces, and is updated regularty based on advice from CSS. The gold membership of CSS also allows u¥ to u3e the advice se￿￿ offered by CSS. The chur¢h ha$ a GDPR policy and all data held by the church complies with the provisions of the policy.

**_227560_**| The investment is the property situated at 34 Wynchlands Crescent, and is part-owned by Simon Ogbourn [Pastor-Elder]. The investment was transferred by the Independent Chapel [Spicer Street] on the church's formation, evidenced by a Deed of Assignment dated 13[th] December 2010. This represented the Independent Chapel's 74.55% interest in the property. Since the investment property is occupied solely for church purposes, the Trustees and Treasurer consider the significant cost of an independent valuation at the year end to be excessive compared with the additional benefit derived by the users of the accounts in assessing the Trustees and Treasurer's stewardship of the asset. In the opinion of the Trustees and Treasurer the net realisable value, assuming vacant possession, of the property would exceed the book value shown in the accounts. 12 **RIDGEWAY CHURCH, ST.

**4290**| The Fellowship Fund is used to express love and concern for one another and others with whom the church are in touch. From the total of the giving to the church, 1.5 percent of undesignated gifts is transferred to this fund. Tear Fund is a Christian organisation for whom the church collected specific donations from the congregation.
