## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Main achievements of the charity**

## **Funds held as custodian for others** 

No funds are held on behalf of others.

## **Ecumenical Church Council of Christchurch Clevedon** 

## **Report of the Trustees For the Year ended 31st December 2020** 

## **COVID-19** 

The trustees have considered the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on the charity’s current and future financial position. The charity is taking the following steps to mitigate the threats that COVID19 may pose to the organisation: 

- Review of all expenditure and likely impact on income and regular preparation and review of budgets. Also using the Government furlough scheme for staff unable to work their normal hours. 

- Writing to all members of the church to explain the position and asking them to consider their regular committed giving. 

- There are sufficient reserves to continue until the end of 2022 as demonstrated by budgets. 

- The recent initiative and appeal to members is hoped to result in an increase in giving to a more sustainable level. 

The trustees therefore consider it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of preparation of the accounts, as detailed in note 1 to the financial statements. 

## **RECENT AND FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS** 

_Report from Clergy_ 

_The Vision and Mission of Christchurch remains as fresh and relevant today as always and with God’s guidance and the leading of the Holy Spirit we have faithfully responded as a Church during this pandemic._ 

_It has been a challenging year for our nation yet we have planned and served our community well within the resources available to us._ 

_Since our last AGM and accounts we have consistently witnessed and served others and in order to do this have adapted and embraced the challenges of COVID in  new and innovative ways._ 

_We saw a substantial loss in our hall booking revenue and we furloughed staff wherever possible and held a paid vacancy for a youth worker until Autumn 2021._ 

_We reached out to our congregation and received financial gifts and an increase in weekly and monthly giving. We also reviewed our outgoings and costings as we responded to the financial challenges._

## **Ecumenical Church Council of Christchurch Clevedon** 

## **Report of the Trustees For the Year ended 31st December 2020** 

_Many of our congregation engaged with community outreach in a variety of ways. Shopping, collecting prescriptions, keeping in touch with their neighbours and engaging with others in a variety of different ways._ 

- ° _Our Make Lunch coordinator has grown the team in response to the increased need to feed young people. We have placed considerable resources into this outreach over the year._ 

- ° _Our TLG  co-ordinator and coaches continued to remotely support children and their families throughout the year on line and when necessary and within regulations to meet face to face in school settings._ 

- ° _Revd Suzy Kirkham joined us in July 2020 in a pioneer Curacy post with a focus on older people’s ministry in the wider community. Through this we have reached and served a much wider community through increased contact with residential homes_ 

- ° _Autumn 2020 saw the launch of ‘Living Life To The Full’, a course in mental health which combines CBT skills with Christian spirituality.  We now have numerous people in training to support the community in the growth area of ministry and outreach._ 

- ° _Bereavement has been a large part of our ministry over the past year with a substantial increase in funerals many due to COVID. We have set up a bereavement support group and when we are able will open a café style meeting to engage with the wider need._ 

- ° _Our ‘on line’ ministry continued and thrived throughout the year and we are considering the opportunities this brings for greater connection with the wider community._

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Christchurch Clevedon** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020 which are set out on pages 9 to 19. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity’s trustees 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** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material 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 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, other than the matter below, 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. 

## **Matter of concern identified** 

The Trustees' view on the impact of COVID-19 is disclosed on page 6 and in the accounting policies note. However, not all future events or conditions can be predicted. The COVID-19 viral pandemic is one of the most significant economic events for the UK with unprecedented levels of uncertainty of outcomes. It is therefore difficult to evaluate all of the potential implications on the charity's activities.

**Ecumenical Church Council of Christchurch Clevedon** 

## **For the Year ended 31st December 2020** 

## **Notes to the financial statements** 

## **1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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 2019)' and the Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

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) (effective 1 January 2019) rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn. 

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. 

The accounts have been prepared on the assumption that the charity is able to continue as a going concern. However, the COVID-19 pandemic is likely to have a profound impact on the global economy, and may in turn affect the charity. The trustees have considered the impact of this issue on the charity’s current and future financial position. The trustees consider that the charity has sufficient cash reserves to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date on which these financial statements are approved. 

## **Funds** 

Restricted funds represent (a) income from trusts or endowments which may be expended only on those restricted objects provided in the terms of the trust or bequest, and (b) donations or grants received for a specific object or invited by the ECC for a specific object. The funds may only be expended on the specific object for which they were given. Any balance remaining unspent at the end of each year must be carried reward as a balance on that fund. The ECC does not usually invest separately for each fund. Where there is separate investment, interest is apportioned to individual funds on an average balance basis. 

Unrestricted funds are general funds which can be used for ECC ordinary purposes. 

## **Incoming Resources** 

Planned giving, collections and donations are recognised when received. Tax refunds are recognised when the incoming resource to which they relate is received. Grants and legacies are accounted for when the ECC is legally entitled to the amounts due. Dividends are accounted for when receivable, interest is accrued. All other income is recognised when it is receivable. All incoming resources are accounted for gross. 

- 11 - 



**Ecumenical Church Council of Christchurch Clevedon** 

## **Notes to the financial statements for the Year ended 31st December 2020 (cont.)** 

## **Resources expended** 

Expenditure has been accounted for on an accruals basis using natural expense categories and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to that category.  Grants and donations are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding or constructive obligation on the ECC. The diocesan parish share is accounted for when due.  All other expenditure is generally recognised when it is incurred and is accounted for gross. 

## **Governance Costs** 

Governance costs comprise all costs involved in the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. 

## **Fixed Assets** 

Consecrated and benefice property is not included in the accounts in accordance with s.10(2)(a) of the Charities Act 2011.  The costs of improvements to consecrated and benefice property are written off in the year in which they are incurred. 

Equipment used within the church premises is depreciated over its estimated useful economic life. Depreciation rates are 15% reducing balance for fixtures and fittings and 25% straight line for shorter life assets. Individual items of equipment with a purchase price of £500 or less are written off when the asset is acquired. 

## **Debtors** 

Debtors are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any amounts advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received. 

## **Short term liquid investments and cash** 

Cash at bank is held to meet short-term cash commitments as they fall due rather than for investment purposes and includes all cash equivalents held in the form of short-term highly liquid investments. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 

## **Creditors** 

The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts. 

## **Financial Instruments** 

The charity only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. 

## **Donated goods, services and facilities** 

Donated goods, services or facilities are recognised as income when the charity has control over the item, any conditions associated with the donated item have been met, the receipt of economic benefit from the use by the charity of the item is probable and that economic benefit can be measured reliably. On receipt, donated services and facilities are recognised on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay to obtain services or facilities of equivalent economic benefit on the open market; a corresponding amount is then recognised in expenditure in the period of receipt.

## **4 STAFF COSTS** 

By the end of the year the Church had a total of four paid staff. During the year 2 staff resigned ~ the youth worker (and this post remains unfilled) and the TLG post and these hours were added to the Children’s worker post. The TLG role is part financed by grant income of £5,000 (2019: £5,000), whilst GVMC also contribute 50% of the PA Admin's wages worth £3,120 (2019: £3120). The remainder of staff costs are met from general funds, supplemented by ad-hoc specified donations. The Governmant furlough scheme was used when staff were unable to work or worked less than their normal hours. 

|**Split of wages costs**<br>Wages and salaries<br>Social security costs<br>Other pension costs<br>Total wages|2020<br>2019<br>£<br>£<br>28,148<br>31,756<br>-<br>429<br>-<br>654<br>28,148<br>32,839|
|---|---|



The average number of staff working for the charity during the year was 5 employees (2019: 4 employees). 

No employees received emoluments in excess of £60,000. 

## **Donated goods, services and facilities** 

During the year, the church has benefitted from numerous services provided by volunteers covering areas such as children's and youth work, and all areas of ministry. Further services have been provided in the form of assistance with maintenance, finance and administration.  It is not possible to measure the financial benefit of such services in the accounts. 

During the year, a number of supplies have been donated to further the ministry of the church. It has not been possible to value the goods donated and the trustees do not believe the total value is material to the financial statements. 

## **Donated services received** 

During the year, the church has recognised the fair value of the donation of accountancy services as approximately £2,000 (2019: £2,000) and has recognised this under other donations and charitable activity costs.

## **10 LOANS** 

A £40,000 loan facility was made available by the Diocese of Bath and Wells for the purposes of assisting in the financing of the Regen Project. This facility was drawn down by Christchurch on 19th October 2012. It was agreed to be repaid by way of five lump sum payments on each anniversary of the loan drawdown date. 

Following conversations with the Diocesan Board of Finance the sum of £4,000 was repaid in March 2016, and the ECC renegotiated the terms of the remaining balance of the loan amounting to £20,142 at that time. This will now be repaid by way of ten lump sum payments on 1st November each year, commencing in 2017. Interest will be charged at 1% above the CCLA CBF Deposit rate (0.75% as at 31st December 2020) and will be payable along with each repayment.
