2. REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES - For The Year Ended 31 March 2022

The Trustees have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts for the year to 31 March 2022. The report has been prepared in compliance with the guidance published in the Charities Commission of England and Wales (October 2019) Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) - FRS 102 published by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy.

2.1 Objects of the Charity

Page 2 Report Period: 2021/2022

Ref. KCC-SP-03

2.4 Review of Activities

In planning and undertaking activities of Kenilworth Community Church CIO, the Trustees have had regard to the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission and to the Objects of the Charity.

2.4.1 Leadership Changes

Prior to this reporting period, our full-time (employed) Elder, Marco Uliana, had considered it right to step aside from the leadership, following much thought and prayer. Marco formally completed his term as fulltime (employed) Elder on 30 April 2021 (as had been agreed with Trustees during the previous reporting period). The Trustees and the church family expressed their thanks to Marco for his service to the church, and also to his family for their support, and a gift of £5,250 was provided to help support his continuing Masters course in Biblical Studies and associated living expenses.

As Marco’s departure had been planned well in advance, a prayerful recruitment process was already in hand, and continued into the summer period. A number of potential candidates were interviewed by the Elders and Trustees, and those short-listed then attended additional interviews by the Elders/Trustees together with selected church members.

Following prayer, consideration of the interviewed candidates, visits to preach and discussion and agreement at relevant Kenilworth Community Church Members’ meetings, Adrian Hodder was invited to serve as an employed Full-time Elder at the church. Adrian was employed as Assistant Pastor at Woodford Evangelical Church in Woodford Green, Essex (outer London) and it was agreed that he would complete his summer of duties there, before relocating to Kenilworth and commencing at Kenilworth Community Church in the autumn.

2.4.2 Housing Challenges, Answered Prayer and Generous Giving/Loans

Housing/accommodation and associated relatively high costs in the Kenilworth area was identified as a key issue to be addressed in the appointment of an employed Full-time Elder at Kenilworth Community Church. In order to serve the church family effectively, it is considered necessary that the Elder lives in the town (as does all the Eldership team), and this is reflected in the Contract of Employment for the employed Full-time Elder. In order to address the potential mismatch between income and housing/accommodation costs, enquires were made by the church, and the charity Mission Housing was identified as potential source of assistance.

Mission Housing is a Registered Society under the Co-operative and Community Benefit Society’s Act 2014 with Charitable Status No 17128R, and it was confirmed that its vision and mission were compatible with the objects of Kenilworth Community Church CIO and the aims of the church. Mission Housing is a charity with a mission to assist key Christian workers to carry out God’s mission and ministry by providing a range of housing solutions and holds to a similar affirmation of faith as that of Kenilworth Community Church. In this context, it was agreed by the Kenilworth Community Church CIO Trustees, the church Elders and endorsed by church Members’ meetings that the church would work with Mission Housing to assist the funding of the housing for Adrian Hodder, the newly appointed Full-time Elder, together with his wife, Pippa and their family.

During the summer of 2021, the arrangements with Mission Housing were finalised, such that ownership of a house (and costs) could be shared between Mission Housing and Adrian and Pippa Hodder. The funding model comprises:

Page 3 Report Period: 2021/2022

Ref. KCC-SP-03

Of the Mission Housing element, £49,300 was raised by the church. This sum was provided as a Loan to Mission Housing (under a formal Loan Agreement, signed by two Trustees). An additional sum of over £150,000 was raised and provided to the charity as loans by individuals (primarily Members of Kenilworth Community Church).

The shared ownership arrangement includes flexibility, termed ‘staircasing’, such that Adrian and Pippa Hodder have the option to pay sums to Mission Housing to progressively increase their share of the property ownership. Also included, are a one-off and regular (monthly) fees payable to Mission Housing that address their administration costs relating to the funding provided to Adrian and Pippa Hodder together with management of the associated loans/finances. It was agreed by the Trustees that Kenilworth Community Church pays these fees to Mission Housing.

Completion of these arrangements and provision of these significant sums matched the requirements for Adrian and Pippa Hodder and enabled them to buy their house at Martin Drive, Kenilworth. They moved in during October 2021, ready to commence ministry on 1 November.

All of the above arrangements and significant funds were very much answers to prayer, hard work in putting all the arrangements together and much generous giving, pledging and loans. We are very thankful to the Lord for all of this.

2.4.2 Meetings

Sunday services form a key part of how we meet together, welcome others to join and reach out to folks in the community to come along and find out about Christ and His saving gospel message. Shortly before this reporting period, the country was in ‘lockdown’ and the church buildings at URC Abbey Hill were closed, such that it was not possible to meet together for Sunday services in the usual way. So, the priority during the summer of 2021 was to re-establish the ‘usual’ pattern of meetings and fellowship.

During the ‘covid period’, some reduction in attendance had occurred. However, many continued and some new people came to join as Members during this period.

During the period 1 May to 31 October 2021, a full-time Elder was not in post such that the duties normally undertaken by the full-time Elder were undertaken by the remaining Elders. James Murkett (Chair of Elders) took on a larger share of these duties, and the church has formally recorded its thanks for this hard work.

Details of church meetings and other activities have been reported to the church Members at regular Members’ Meetings, and include the following:

● Children and Young People/Teenagers

Activities were already in operation and these have continued and developed with:

Sunday Clubs: spanning school Year 1 to teenagers

Scramblers: a new venture started for pre-school children

One-off ‘bonfire night’ for all young people

● Adult Ministries

Homegroups– these had already been established and were continued, to provide a means of care and support to individuals together with provision for study/teaching. Following the disruptions of the ‘covid period’, additional effort was made to re-establish these meetings and to encourage folks to join up with these.

Page 4 Report Period: 2021/2022

Ref. KCC-SP-03

An additional ‘homegroup’ was established that met in the church hall on a Friday morning. This enhanced access to a group for elderly, disabled folk, and others not suited to evening meetings in homes.

Regular meetings (generally monthly) have also been held for prayer and consideration of needs within Kenilworth and also in other areas throughout the world, both within churches and in other situations.

● Mission, Outreach and Support

This was used to provide the following gifts/support:

It was also recognised that additional organisations/individuals should be sought out for support, in line with the policy and procedures set out in the Kenilworth Community Church Mission Support Fund policy.

It is confirmed that the relevant gifts were made in compliance with the Mission Support Fund policy (where applicable) and also in compliance with the charitable objectives as set out in Section 2.1 of this report.

• Administration and Ministry

During this period, administration duties have been undertaken by the Elders together with the Deacon.

Ministry support has included:

Page 5 Report Period: 2021/2022

Ref. KCC-SP-03

2.4.3 Membership

Church membership (as defined in the Kenilworth Community Church Members’ Handbook ) totalled 26 on 31 March 2022.

2.4.4 Church Leadership

The Elders serving for the period of this report are synonymous with the Trustees as listed in this report (with the sole exception of Maro Uliana, who was an Elder only during this reporting period). Their role is the overall leadership of the church. They are especially responsible for the ordering of gatherings for worship on the Lord’s Day and other occasions for prayer, fellowship and ministry. They also have the responsibility to ensure proper church discipline according to the Biblical pattern.

During the period 1 to 30 April 2021, Marco Uliana (not a Trustee at this time) was in full-time paid employment.

During the period 1 November 2021 to 31 March 2022, Adrian Hodder, both a Trustee and Elder, was in fulltime employment.

Kenilworth Community Church CIO had no other employees during this reporting period.

2.4.5 Property/Accommodation

During the report period, the Kenilworth Community Church CIO has not had ownership of any property. Larger meetings have been held at URC Abbey Hill, Kenilworth, using both the church building and associated halls. Some meetings were also held at a local community centre: The Kenilworth Centre. Where appropriate, other meetings have been held in member’s homes. These accommodation arrangements are suitable for current needs, together with likely requirements for the coming year. There are no current plans to acquire property.

2.5 Future Plans and Objectives

2.5.1 Review and Planning

The growth and development of the Kenilworth Community Church CIO and its activities are kept constantly under review by the Elders, and also by those leaders with responsibilities for the Sunday Clubs, Homegroups, etc. Regular meetings are held to monitor activities and confirm continued compliance with the objectives and polices of the church. Wider meetings, open to all church Members and others are held at least quarterly to review progress and assist with forward planning.

2.5.2 Ministry

The Full-time Elders worked hard during the report period, to meet the demands of a growing membership and congregation, and also to develop systems for the new church CIO and undertake much of the necessary administration and coordination.

Support was provided by the Deacon (John Whittle) acting as Treasurer and providing assistance with general administration.

Page 6 Report Period: 2021/2022

Ref. KCC-SP-03

As outlined in Section 2.4.2, a Mission Policy is in place and operational This promotes and provides a framework for giving and support to organisations (and possibly individuals) which undertake works that are fully compatible with the Objectives of Kenilworth Community Church CIO, as set out in this report. Further progress is planned to increase the giving from this fund to appropriate organisations (and possibly individuals)

A Practical Care Support Fund is in place. Currently, this is to operate on a relatively small scale, and at the discretion of the Elders/Trustees. For future consideration, a pastoral care policy has been drafted, although this remains to be finalised.

2.6 Financial Review

2.6.1 Overview

This report covers the 12 months to 31 March 2022 and is the third period of operation for Kenilworth Community Church CIO. The financial situation has remained sound during this period, with income above expenditure and more than adequate reserves. A statement of financial activities is set out in Section 3.1.

2.6.2 Income

As recorded in Section 3.5 Analysis of Income and Expenditure, regular giving (over the report period has significantly exceeded the expenditure for the same period, with a surplus in income of £19,644 over expenditure for the period. It is thanks to the Lord’s provision that there was no fall in income for the church carrying over from the previous pandemic, lockdowns etc.

2.6.3 Expenditure

Expenditure for the period was below the expected budget predictions and also well below income levels, as outlined above. The lower than expected expenditure was largely due to the six-month period that the church was without a full-time Elder, and so was without the associated salary expenditure. Expenditure has been carefully monitored by the Treasurer, and has related to items necessary for the charity to fulfill its objectives, as set out in Section 2.1.

2.6.4 Loans

A large sum of £49,300 was loaned to Mission Housing during the report period. This sum was exactly balanced by gifts as specifically made for the purpose of this loan. Hence, the loan has no overall impact on the overall financial position of Kenilworth Community Church. As outlined in Section 2.4.2, the loan was made to a charitable organisation, which operates in compliance with the Objects of the Charity of Kenilworth Community Church, and duly arranged via a written Loan Agreement signed by more than one Trustee.

2.6.5 Reserves Policy

The surplus in income over expenditure for the period has permitted an increase in total funds from £39,183 to £58,828 over the period. A reserve of £16,000 has been agreed; this provides for 3 to 4 months of operation.

Page 7 Report Period: 2021/2022

Ref. KCC-SP-03

2.6.5 Restricted Funds and Endowment Funds

The large sum of £49,300 loaned to Mission Housing (as outlined in Section 2.6.4) was made from a Restricted Fund, set up specifically for this purpose. Income and outgoings balance, such that this fund is now zero.

The gift of £380 was made from a Restricted Fund to Carriers of Hope; the fund was set up specifically for this purpose. Income exceeds outgoings by £38, such that this outstanding sum is to paid in the following financial period in compliance with the requirements of this fund.

There are no Endowment Funds.

2.6.6 Funds Held on Behalf of Others

There are no funds held as custodian trustee or on behalf of other organisations.

2.7 Risk Statement

As a Christian Church, the Officers try to be faithful in committing all developments, decisions and issues of Church life to the guidance and providence of God. Nonetheless, particular attention has been given to developing clear policies to ensure compliance in Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults, Food Hygiene, and the implications of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 and associated Equality Act 2010.

Immediately prior to this report period, risk assessments and “Covid-19 secure” procedures had been withdrawn by the Government. Notwithstanding this, certain procedures were maintained for a period to promote the safety and wellbeing of more vulnerable folk, and to allay potential fears and concerns.

Preparation of budgets has been followed by careful monitoring through regular (monthly) review by the Treasurer/Deacon and regular reporting to the Trustees/Elders to ensure sufficient resources in the event of adverse financial conditions. A Reserves Policy is in place and identifies the financial needs of the Trust in the event of a financial crisis and this is kept under annual review to ensure that it matches the changing needs of the Church.

Following the ‘covid period’, the national financial situations and peoples’ incomes etc remain relatively uncertain. In case of a significant reduction in giving/income, the associated risks are mitigated by regular and frequent monitoring of the church’s finances.

2.8 Going Concern Considerations

In the context of the above, and also with reference to the reserves policy and financial review, it is noted that the church funds are in credit and that trends of income and expenditure are remaining in balance. On this basis, it is considered that the church and its charitable functions are able to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future (ie. at least the next 12 months) in accordance with the guidance published in the Charities Commission for England and Wales (October 2019) Charities SORP - FRS 102.

Ref. KCC-SP-03

2.9 Trustees' Responsibilities

Charity law requires us as Trustees to prepare financial statements for each accounting year which give a true and fair view of the state of the charity and of its income and expenditure for the year.

We are required to:

  1. Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.

  2. Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.

  3. State whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts.

  4. Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

We are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable us to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and follow the principles in the new edition of the Charity Governance Code’.

We also have a responsibility to safeguard the assets of the charity and to take reasonable steps to prevent fraud or any other irregularities.

APPENDIX I

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER OF THE ACCOUNTS

Accounts for the year ended 31[st] March 2022

Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the examiner

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts and they consider that an audit is not required for the year under section 144(2) 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 the 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 these records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required for 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

In connection with my examination, no material matter has come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

Accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act, or the accounts do not accord with the accounting records

I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Date: 26[th] January 2023

Stephen Hendy
