TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (continued)

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

Objectives and activities

The Objects are:

(i) the advancement of the Christian faith in accordance with the Basis of Faith, Doctrinal Distinctives and Ethical Statements, primarily, but not exclusively, within Bromsgrove and the surrounding neighbourhood; and

(ii) such other charitable purposes as shall, in the opinion of the charity trustees, put into practice the Christian faith in accordance with the Basis of Faith, including but not limited to: the prevention and relief of need, hardship and sickness; the advancement of education; and the provision of facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age infirmity or disability, financial hardship or social circumstances with the object of improving their conditions of life

Our primary aim is to advance the Christian faith and our meetings include specific teaching (from the Holy Bible) to achieve this. A secondary aim is the relief of hardship or sickness and is one means of loving one's neighbour, as taught in the Bible.

Weekly services and events are in normal times held for pensioners, adults, teenagers and children. All members of the public are invited to attend activities appropriate to their age groups, and we make no charge for attendance at these published services.

The teaching and ministry of the Church primarily in our locality promotes the ethical and moral standards of the Bible, in particular the command to love one's neighbour. This fosters harmony and good community relationships. Activities for various age groups including toddlers, children, teenagers, adults and the elderly are all part of the Church ministry and benefit to the public.

All sermons preached at our Church are available to church members, and members of the public, free of charge, on the church website www.welcomehallchurch.org

Achievements and performance

Following the disruption of the Covid 19 Pandemic, we were pleased to experience a more 'normal' year in 2022. The Church continued a wide range of activities throughout the year, including regular Sunday Services (with a continued live stream broadcast); childrens' and teenagers' activities; street evangelism; coffee mornings; toddlers' group; litterpick; and mid-week church meetings. By these varied means the Church continued to proclaim the gospel and teach the truth of the Bible in the locality throughout the year. We were pleased to see newcomers attending these events and new members joining the Church via baptism as well as by transfer from other congregations.

A new initiative this year was a family fun day held just before Easter on the Church premises. This was well received and there are plans for a similar event in summer 2023.

We are grateful to the team of volunteers who have freely given their time and energy to running our outreach activities. In accordance with our Safeguarding policy, we have continued our rolling programme of DBS checking all staff and volunteers involved in children's work.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

1. General Information

The charity is a public benefit entity and a registered charity in England and Wales and is unincorporated. The address of the principal office is 34 Woodrow Lane, Catshill, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, B61 0PU.

2. Statement of Compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland', the 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) (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and the Charities Act 2011.

3. Accounting Policies

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through income or expenditure.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.

Going concern

There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity's purposes.

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the trustees for particular future project or commitment.

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure declared by the donor or through the terms of an appeal, and fall into one of two sub-classes: restricted income funds or endowment funds.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022

3. Accounting Policies (continued)

Incoming resources

All income is included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured.

Resources expended

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:

Freehold property - 2% straight line
Motor vehicles - 33% straight line
Equipment - 10% reducing balance

Impairment of fixed assets

A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

Financial instruments

Financial instruments are classified and accounted for according to the substance of the contractual arrangement, as either financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.

Defined contribution plans

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.

When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
