Darlington Vineyard Church Report of the trustees for the year ending 31 March 2024 

The Trustees of Darlington Vineyard Church, Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), present their annual report and independently examined accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024 and confirm they comply with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011, the Trust Deed and the Charities SORP (FRS 102). 

## **Our Aims and Objectives** 

We aim, through Darlington Vineyard Church, to equip Christians in Darlington and beyond to live their life as the Bible calls us to. We aim to teach people how to be loving and generous neighbours to each other and our town and how to love Darlington. 

The objects of Darlington Vineyard Church are: 

- To advance the Christian religion for the public benefit in accordance with the Statement of Faith in the Schedule hereto attached in such parts of the United Kingdom and the world through: 

- The organisation and provision of Christian worship; 

- The provision of such facilities and services as are appropriate for the Church, to enable it to fulfill its mission to the members of the Church, visitors to the Church, the local community and the wider community; 

- The provision of facilities for Christian training and service; 

- The support and provision of Christian evangelism and outreach; 

- The provision of assistance to the wider Christian church in its ministries. 

## **Review of Activities and Achievements** 

## **The organisation of Christian worship** 

During the reporting period, the church continued to meet for worship at the Ballroom of the Kings Head Hotel in Darlington. This venue provided a suitable space for our gatherings, allowing us to continue our mission of inviting people into a radical life of faith, through Jesus, to impact the world through Darlington. 

A significant milestone occurred on 1st September 2023, when we received the keys to the old Bondgate Methodist Church. 

Darlington Vineyard Church | www.darlington.church | 01325 625 035 



We worked for nearly 2 years with Green Pastures, a social enterprise that was founded in 1999, and who’ve been working ever since to change the lives of those facing homelessness. 

This exciting development marks the beginning of a new chapter for Darlington Vineyard Church, as we enter into a partnership with Green Pastures to restore this historic building for our worship service and for the community. 

From Sunday 3rd September 2023 onwards, we have been meeting for Sunday worship at what is now Darlington Vineyard Church on Salt Yard, experiencing the joy and privilege of gathering in this dedicated space. We are grateful for this opportunity and look forward to serving the Darlington community from this new location. 

## **Churches Together in Darlington** 

Lisa Crosby - Senior Pastor accepted a position on the executive committee of Churches Together in Darlington. Churches Together in Darlington (CTiD) aims to foster unity and relationship across the town. The following events involving all those Churches who opted to participate provided a unified witness to the people of Darlington and the Christian community. 

(i) Break for Lent - Lisa Crosby was invited as a main speaker for one of five sessions which reached a large percentage of elderly Christians hosted by St.Cuthbert's Church. 

(ii) Good Friday witness - an outdoor service with the permission of Darlington Council. In former years 11 or so people had congregated at the Pease Monument in the centre of Darlington as an act of christian witness. Darlington Vineyard worked with St Cuthberts Church as a sub committee and, alongside two other leaders of other churches, brought an outdoor service to over 400 people in the centre of Darlington. Erecting a 12 ft cross to remain in the centre for the Easter weekend, Darlington Vineyard also designed and provided posters and flyers, built a website to host all the local Church links as a mechanism to invite people into Churches all across the town. Darlington Vineyard provided all of the outdoor broadcasting kit and the skillset to operate it, as well as many volunteers to ensure the event was safe and successful in line with council expectations. 

(iii) The Town Carnival. Darlington Vineyard were among other church representatives at the Darlington Town Carnival, representing a Church presence at a popular summer park event in Stanhope Park in June 2023 

## **Leadership Development** 

Darlington Vineyard continued to develop leaders through different avenues, including training, conferences and smaller specific leadership events, which included: 

(i) Leaning in Leading out: A small subset of leaders were selected to attend this event in February 2023. The event was hosted at York Vineyard with input from expert speakers and a day of strategic planning for each individual Church represented. 

(ii) Essentials: A leadership training track from Vineyard Churches UK & Ireland runs on a 

Darlington Vineyard Church | www.darlington.church | 01325 625 035 



continuous basis. Darlington Vineyard began hosting the leadership development through essentials in January 2024. Tabitha Evans-Hanna - Associate Pastor of Darlington Vineyard continues to host this training as in person sessions on a monthly basis and people opt into a two year rolling schedule at any point in the year. 

(iii) Vineyard Leaders Gathering: A gathering of more than 2,000 leaders occurs each year and is pivotal in both leadership development and church strategy and direction. 14 leaders and potential leaders from Darlington Vineyard attended this gathering which involved main speaker sessions and specific training in smaller seminars. 

(iv) The Cause to Live For: A gathering of more than 1300 young people from 18 - 40 gathered at Trent Vineyard. Darlington Vineyard was represented by all of our young people’s group. The gathering involved main speaker sessions and specific training in smaller seminars. 

(v) Theology Training - a cohort was launched for theology training, held in person at Salt Yard in March 2023, attended by 2 facilitators and 12 students. 

## **Women’s Breakfast** 

A women’s breakfast was hosted in our café - Vineyard Café. The café was at maximum capacity as over 30 people attended. 

## **Youth** 

We have seen an increase in attendance in the youth group which is in line with the vision of the Church to reach more young people. The youth led by Sam Chubb until Aug 23 was succeeded by Tabitha Evans-Hanna and continued to meet in Vineyard Café with other events such as bowling, cinema, etc allowing friends to attend in an environment which is accessible. The youth have also attended joint groups with other Churches in the North East. 

## **Dreaming the Impossible (DTI) July - Aug 2023** 

Senior Pastors, Lisa Crosby and Phil Crosby, assisted in the set up team at this youth festival which hosted over 3000 youth. A significant number of volunteers also attended during the event to assist in operations, youth, kids, car parking, stewarding and any other teams where necessary. The youth team transported and led a group of 7 youth aged 14-16. 

## **Whole Church Retreat - Wydale in Yorkshire.** 

In August 2023 Darlington Vineyard hosted a retreat for anyone who called Darlington Vineyard their home Church. 69 people attended for a weekend of gathering, food, worship, prayer and teaching and to deepen and build relationships. It was a huge success in galvanising the Church. 

## **Dedication** 

Excitingly, since the Church was planted we have seen young couples start families. It was a real privilege to dedicate one of these children this year for their parents to bring them up in the christian faith. This Sunday was attended by many members of the families and was followed by a celebration in our community hall, Wesley’s. 

Darlington Vineyard Church | www.darlington.church | 01325 625 035 



## **Worship Night** 

As a result of having a permanent building, we have been able to host mid week worship services. These are a time of extended sung worship and prayer. These are attended by around forty people from the Church 

## **Christmas** 

Christmas is always an amazing time for the Church and this year we had a family service nativity with lot’s of interaction from families and children. This was followed on Christmas Eve by a Carols by Candlelight service which was well attended by both people from the Church and people outside of the Church. 

## **Baptism** 

In July 2023 we held baptisms at Saltburn beach baptising 4 people. On 31 March, Easter Sunday, we baptised another 3 people in our new building. 

## **Small Groups** 

Small Groups around the town remained constant with five groups. Some small groups have been multiplied and some have closed with new ones opening. 

## **Safeguarding** 

Our safeguarding team has continued to be a reliable team whose expertise on advising various teams through the Church has been invaluable. 

The involvement of the team to safely take our youth to Dreaming The Impossible (DTI) youth festival, a 5 day camp at Staffordshire Showground was of vital importance. 

We ran a Safeguarding Training for all those involved in Prayer Ministry in order to make sure that the Church is well equipped in understanding procedure around working with children and vulnerable adults. 

We ran a refresher session for the whole church to update them on our Safeguarding policy and reporting process as well as making sure they are all aware of signs to look out for when working with children and vulnerable adults. 

## **Community and Social Action** 

## **Vineyard Cafe** 

In May 2021 we opened Vineyard Cafe on Post House Wynd. The cafe was created coming out of the pandemic for our community to come into a space that was ethically sourcing coffee, tea and food, had electrical charging points for people working from home, that had a low price point to allow a greater range of people in the community to come in and to be a place that 

Darlington Vineyard Church | www.darlington.church | 01325 625 035 



anyone could sit and enjoy a coffee and food without being rushed back out - all in a great environment. 

Vineyard Cafe has continued to grow in popularity with a solid customer base. Jonny Hoggett our cafe Manager has worked hard at improving our menu, working with Monika Stelmach our Chef to ensure continuity of food and service. 

He has ensured that on a daily basis we have great volunteer teams made up from the Church to serve our town. 

One of our charitable aims and objectives is ‘The support and provision of Christian evangelism and outreach’. 

This aim is met through the cafe as we serve our town. We have found many people who need a listening ear, love the community that the cafe has created as our staff and volunteers share their faith with our customers. 

## **Baby Basics** 

Baby-basics which reaches families struggling to cope and provide for their new babies in the Darlington area and beyond has continued to reach out to many families across the region. It has also provided a space in which people can volunteer, which has been an incredible opportunity for people who otherwise struggle to get work, to be part of a community and develop their skills. 

Referrals are received from midwives, social services, care leavers network, Low Newton Prison, and other social care officers with clients at risk of homelessness or leaving care. People in refuges and refugees from Ukraine, Syria and other countries were able to request Moses baskets packed with items of equipment for babies for families who were struggling. 

From April 2023 to March 2024 we had 50 referrals helping 54 children - giving out Moses baskets packed with equipment needed to see newborns clothed and supported as well as pushchairs, new car seats, cots, baby baths, toys, warm clothing, bedding and equipment and toiletries for mum. 

## **Hope and Glory** 

In January 2022 we took on the keys for 23 Post House Wynd with the vision of starting a Vintage shop with the ethos of good stewardship “reuse - rework - restore”, combatting fast fashion, bringing life to vintage clothing and offering a bright and fun place for people to shop to enrich the high street. This vintage shop in turn would fund an art and craft space on the first floor where we run a course called Peaced Together to support women experiencing poor mental health and coming out of trauma. 

Hope and Glory opened in September 2022. It has continued through this year to increase in popularity with many demographics in the town. 

Darlington Vineyard Church | www.darlington.church | 01325 625 035 



Hope and Glory in turn has funded multiple Peaced Together craft courses helping people struggling with their mental health and coming out of trauma, the first in February 2023. We have built a relationship with the local authority where we now work with teenagers who are preparing to leave care. These courses have been a vital part of their building self confidence and helping with their mental health. 

## **Future Plans** 

Vineyard Cafe continues to be a successful business in the heart of our town centre. We plan to increase our capacity over time and start to work with people looking for work experience, who can then go on to have paid jobs with qualifications gained through working in the cafe. 

The cafe has also become a real hub of community with a real family feel and many customers regularly visiting 2 to 3 times per week. 

Our future plans for Hope and Glory are to continue the shop as part of our churches ethos to be part of combatting slave trade and doing our small part in slowing the western culture of fast fashion. 

We are planning on renovating part of the new Church building to host a new craft room. Our plan is to create a space which has better accessibility and can accommodate more people. We are in talks with the National Lottery in preparation for a funding bid for this project. 

As a small organsiation, the big challenge as we move forward in 2024 is to renovate our new church building. Salt Yard is 17,500 sq ft, it has been neglected for many years and needs substantial work on parts of the roof as well as where there has been water ingress in walls and windows as well as being very tired. 

Over the coming years we will be looking at raising money to fix the building as well as raising the deposit to buy the building from Green Pastures. 

Darlington Vineyard Church | www.darlington.church | 01325 625 035 



## **Our Finances** 

The financial statements show net incoming resources for the year on Church activities of £275,296 (2023: £216,496). The main source of income for the Church is people’s regular giving who attend the Church.  Expenditure was £275,540 (2023: £216,662), thus giving a very small deficit in the year of £244 (2023: £166 deficit).  The trustees are continuing their strategy of ensuring all net incoming resources are invested in advancing the Christian faith. 

## **Reserves and Financial Health** 

As part of the effective stewardship of our finances, the trustees regularly meet to review finances and budgets with a monthly cash flow analysis. 

Although the trustees do not wish to see a buildup of reserves as we want all our money to further the Christian faith and to see people’s lives transformed, we recognise the need to have some free reserves available to assist with cash flow purposes. 

To this end we aim to have free reserves of approximately 3 months expenditure available should it be needed.  Based upon the last few years activity that amount would be approximately £68,000 (2023: £54,000); the level of free reserves is currently £10,842 (2023: £9,906) but once the level is reached, the trustees wish for any excess to be used in the work of extending the Christian faith.  The recommended reserve level is under regular review. 

## **Structure, Governance And Management** 

The trustees who govern the charity are responsible for the overall management and control of Darlington Vineyard Church and meet approximately every four weeks. 

The work of implementing their policies is carried out by the Senior Leadership team of the Church. The Senior Leadership team meets on a monthly basis to ensure the direction of operations. 

All trustees give their time freely and no remuneration or expenses were paid in the year. Philip Crosby, Chairman of Trustees is paid full time for his position as Senior Pastor.

## 27 January 2025 

## **Independent  Examiner’s report to the Trustees of Darlington Vineyard Church** 

I report on the accounts for the period ended 31 March 2024 which are set out on the pages following. 

## **Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and Independent Examiner** 

The church’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.  The church’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to 

- Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

- Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and 

- State whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of Independent Examiner’s Statement** 

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 the 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** 

Since the gross income for the year exceeds the amount provided in section 143(3) of the Act, I confirm that as a member of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants I am qualified to act as an Independent Examiner under the provisions of that section of the Act and that my qualifications are set out as below. 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

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

   - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; or 

- to prepare accounts which accord with these accounting records have not been met; or 

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

Yours sincerely
