## Governance
## Public benefit
The trustees have taken due regard of the guidance on public benefit published by the Charities Commission.
## Trustee and officer selection
Nominations for trustees and officers made via nomination forms prior to the annual general meeting (AGM). At the AGM nominations are proposed and seconded and then subsequently elected if unopposed. Where posts have more than one nomination votes are taken, and candidates elected subject to the outcome.
## Aims and objectives
Services are on Sundays at 11am. On the first Sunday of each month the Youth Church meet (except Feb & Sept). Coffee morning open Saturdays 10am-12noon. We interact with other denominations, e.g., Doncaster Interfaith Group where we take our turn to host the meetings. Other social events such as dances are held to raise the church profile. Other times, funds raised go to other appeals e.g., Water Aid.
## Activities in relation to objectives
We welcome you to this meeting place where we come together in worship. It is the people who make this place what it is. We accept that worship has many different meanings for each person to explore and discover. Those who speak here have the responsibility of presenting their ideas freely, fearlessly and faithfully. Those who listen have the responsibility of testing what they hear, not only with the critical mind, but also in the living of every day. The principles of freedom, reason and toleration are important to us in the quest for truth. The members at Doncaster are what makes the Church special and all are welcome to join us.
Our church is not only a place of Unitarian and Free Christian worship; it is also a centre for Interfaith Activities in Doncaster and we launched, with the Jamia Mosque, the Doncaster Partnership for Muslim/Christian Friendship in 2016.
We are a group who gather each Sunday to pay homage to something greater than ourselves. We all have different ideas and perceptions of that greater truth, but we recognise that ultimately, we are all walking the same path, hand in hand.
Though our beliefs may differ, our values unite us: the values of freedom, reason, and respect. That is, the freedom to hold our own individual beliefs and to question what we hear; the reason that allows us to look past literal belief in myth and find the deeper meaning, and the respect for others whose beliefs and opinions may not chime with our own.
Our meetings each Sunday morning may appear at first glance to be traditional church services,

with hymns, prayers, readings, and reflections. But when you look closer, you'll notice the language is very carefully chosen to be both inclusive and respectful of differing beliefs. This is our time for peace, spiritual nourishment, and growth. But we also make plenty of time for friendship, conversation, and sharing good food in the fellowship of our spiritual family.
## Our Minister
Reverend Tom McCready hails from Scotland and has a background in both Buddhism and Christianity. In addition to being the minister at Doncaster Unitarian and Free Christian Church, Rev. Tom McCready is also the secretary of Doncaster Interfaith.
" _We can be frail and flawed, and yet truly at peace with ourselves. We can be troubled, and yet touched by something tender and true and transforming. A loving, forgiving, and renewing light shines brightly in each one of us, in everyone who passes through these doors and everyone who passes by these doors. In every human one of us. You can call it the love of God or the light of inner peace, the reason we are here is to help and encourage each other to uncover that light and to know that love."_
## Our History
This church finds its roots in the early 1700s and the Protestant dissenters from the established Church of England. Having initially used the minister's house, on Hall Gate, the present site was acquired, and a small chapel was built in 1740. The chapel was built out of sight of the road because previous Unitarian meeting houses and chapels throughout the country had been wrecked or burned earlier in the century for their "heretical" liberal values.
The foundation stones for the present building were laid in 1912, although this building was not designed to be the chapel, which should have been on the site of the two shops fronting Hall Gate. At this time, there was an amalgamation with a liberal Christian group ejected from the Congregational Church. The name 'Free Christian Church' was given at this time, but it was made explicit that "this in no way binds the future of the Church whose free trust deed governs the whole situation".
This open trust ensures freedom from doctrinal test for the minister and members of the congregation. The bond of the union of all within the Church is the unity of the Spirit.
## Secretaries Report for 2020
The membership is currently 17.
The church pulpit was occupied by the Rev Tom McCready until the end of March when the Minister retired. The pulpit supply has been organised by a pulpit sub-committee and thanks are deserved by Brian Morrell and Josephine Copley who have arranged for services during the year to be taken by members of the congregation and visiting preachers.
The committee have met regularly once a month, to manage the affairs, running and day to day activities of the Church.

The Church again provided the venue for a number of Interfaith activities and a number of other functions. A special Women’s service was held to celebrate the anniversary of women’s emancipation, which included attendance by the Local Member of Parliament. A summer fete was held, although attendance was low.
A word of thanks must go to the Trustees for maintaining our place of worship.
There have been a few events in Church this year, some musical with support of the members of the congregation. The Minister has promoted the Church as a venue for various ‘Interfaith’ events. The congregation has supported these events and thanks to all individuals who have given their time. The Trustees continued to allow the Congregation to run a shop in the now vacant ‘Kenberne’s’ unit, which is staffed by the Minister and members of the congregation.
Thank you to all who have supported us during the year. Special thanks to those that are not members but give their time to the Church. We look forward to the year 2021, our 330th in existence in the town and our 278th in a building on this site.

- a. Secretary. Copies of the report were circulated. The staffing of the shop on Hall Gate was raised, which is being undertaken by the Minister and B McCready and the Minister indicated
Page 5

Annual Report 2020
that he intends to ‘revamp’ the current layout. It was noted that the shop is being marketed for future tenants as ‘Shell fit’ by the Trustees, which allows a future tenant to adapt the space to their requirements. Mrs J Copley expressed thanks to Mr B Morrell for his work in co-ordinating the pulpit supply. The committee were thanked for their work.
- b. Treasurer. A written report with a verbal explanation was given by the treasurer which indicated future long-term financial prospects. Items highlighted were,
- Ministers pension has been underpaid for this year and will be rectified.
- General Assembly subscription payment for last year was missed and needs to be paid this year.
- There is a ‘lack of funds’ in the Committee account, with expenditure being greater than income. The deficit has been made up by funds from the Trustees, as it has in previous years. More income needs to be raised to cover costs. There has been lower fundraising, partly due to lower donations with fewer groups using the church buildings and less income from the shop.
- Heating. It was noted that the timer for the new heating system to the Church Hall needs resetting, in order to reduce costs.
- The complexity of how the accounts are presented was raised and it asked if these could be simplified for the future.
- The Treasurer is still in the process of taking over the accounts due to issues with transfer of authority with the banks.
-
- The treasurer was thanked for the work that goes into compiling the accounts.
- c. Trustees. The Trustees presented a verbal report. The shops have tenants for 60 Hall Gate and 5 Wood Street. 61 Hall Gate is being used as a Church Shop whilst a tenant is sought. 5 Wood Street has had works done so that it was in a condition to meet the requirements of the new tenant. The Trustees are currently seeking a Secretary. Thanks, were expressed to the Trustees.
- d. Ministers Report. The Minister gave a written report. The Minister confirmed his retirement at the end of next month, at which time he intends to become a member of the Church. A round of applause was expressed for his tenure at this Church.

A few Sundays are currently available. Thanks to Sue Mitchell who collated the flower schedule. Thanks, were expressed to Josephine Copley.
- f. Caretaker. A written breakdown of fees from lettings was provided by the Caretaker, John Foster. Income was £2,935.94p. A verbal outline of caretaker’s activities was given. His report was accepted with thanks

## Independent financial review
## Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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.
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 Charities Act; and
Page 8
Doncaster Unitarian and Free Christian Church
Annual Report 2020
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
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.
Signed: _______________________________ Date: ____15[th] April 2021______ Janet Pryke FCMA 9 Springwell Grove Sheffield S20 1XE
## Financial reserve policy
The church is fortunate to hold reserves well in excess of annual expenditure requirements made up of property holdings, long term investments and cash held in deposit accounts.
Each year the general day-to-day running costs of the church are in the region of £30,000. Monies held in bank accounts alone are more than sufficient to cover this requirement for several years without considering the need to crystallise any investments.
Due to the above there is no specific reserves policy in place at the current time as it is considered unnecessary.
## Financial Statements
The church finances are managed across three different funds, a general trustee fund, the Mabel Campbell trust fund and the committee fund, all of which are unrestricted.
The committee fund income is a secured by a combination of an annual trustee grant and collections during the weekly service. If a deficit is foreseen the trustees will provide further grants throughout the year.
To follow are the income and expenditure statements for each fund. This is preceded with the summary of total income and expenditure and total reserves.
All financial reports have been created under the receipts and payments method, not accrualsbased accounting.
Page 9
Doncaster Unitarian and Free Christian Church
Annual Report 2020
Income for the year totalled £30,304 (£31,355 – 2019) with expenditure of £29,511 (£46,649 – 2019) generating a net increase in reserves of £794 (net decrease £15,294 - 2019)
The church continues to operate within income received during the year.
