## **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 2023.  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.

## **2.2 Registration of this Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO)**

## **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 New  Roles** 

From December 2022/January 2023, the following new roles were implemented to help develop the work of the church and to support the Elders/Trustees: 

- Anna Wright (Deacon) – Welcoming 

- Lucie Harris (Deacon) – Womens’ ministry 

- Chris Dowson (Deacon) – Youth Ministry 

- Mandy Dowson (Deacon) – Youth Ministry 

- Amber Ball – Administrator (part-time and salaried) 

- Helen Murphy (Coordinator) – Events 

- Paul Hayton (Coordinator) - Tech 

John Whittle  (Deacon & Treasurer) stepped back from the part-time Administrator role but continued with other duties. 

## **2.4.2 Developing Ministries** 

## _**a. Making Disciples as Disciples**_ 

The small-group/Homegroup ministry was further developed, with the use of The London Institute for Contemporary Christianity (LICC) _Fruitfulness on the Frontline_ materials together with regular support/coordination of the Homegroup Leaders.  In this way, folks were helped and supported in the groups and new members joined the Homegroups. 

## _**b. Worshipping God**_ 

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.   While the majority of the Sunday services included a major contribution from our Full-Time Elder, Adrian Hodder, who  ably provided most of the preaching, this was supported by the other Elders and occasional visiting preachers. 

A target was set to develop corporate worship and grow in prayerfulness.  This resulted in the development of content and structure in Sunday worship.  This also included new service leaders together with the development of more church members leading prayers. 

## _**c. Growing as a Family**_ 

The continued challenges of supporting and encouraging youth in the church was recognised and reviewed. During the year, some families left the fellowship/relocated, leading to changes in the youth work.  The Youth Ministry team continued with their hard work, including in the following areas: 

- Sunday Clubs: spanning school Year 1 to teenagers 

- Scramblers: for pre-school children 

- One-off ‘bonfire night’ for all young people 

- One-off Youth Weekend Away, for older youth 

Page 3                                                                        Report Period: 2022/2023 

Ref. KCC-SP-04 



Adult ministries included the privilege of helping members of an Iranian refugee family, see also (e) below, and this included baptisms.  In addition, support has been provided in the following areas: 

- Pastoral support has been provided to elderly, disabled, etc, folk who have been in need of homes visits etc (alongside more practical support, such as shopping and other help. 

- Pastoral support has been provided to those with church connections, and as requested. 

- Commencement of regular Ladies’ Brunch meetings, to provide support to women. 

## _**d. Telling the Gospel**_ 

An intention was set: to equip us as Jesus’ ambassadors, so as to support world mission and utilise opportunities for evangelism (including annual local events).  During the reporting period, this has included: 

- Planned and regular support to evangelists via the church’s Mission Support Fund (as below). 

- Regular support for an overseas missionary couple via Frontiers (Registered Charitable Company No. 1012566).  This supports work in a challenging area, where effectively no existing churches are present. 

- Regular support for UK Christian work in schools via CrossTeach (Registered Charity and CIO No. 1197225).  This helps workers to support the education of young people in the Christian faith (in association with school staff etc) together with associated projects to meet the social needs of young people. 

- In December, our Full-Time Elder, Adrian, was invited to preach at the annual Christmas ‘Carols at Kenilworth Castle’  as organised by the Kenilworth Lions Club (CIO Registered charity number 1183358). 

- The Sunday services, regular prayer meetings and Homegroup meetings have all also included encouragement and guidance to  utilise opportunities for evangelism (see also below). 

## _**e. Doing Good**_ 

It is recognised that loving folk in Kenilworth in practical ways goes alongside Telling the Gospel and the other core activities of the church and is also a key element of the objects of the Charity.  During this period, this has included the following (in addition to the practical elements of the pastoral ministry outlined in Section c above): 

- The Practical Care Support Fund was in place to assist folks in need and known to the church, although no payments were made from this fund within the reporting period. 

- Support has been provided to elderly, disabled etc, folk who have needed practical help. 

- Pastoral support has been provided to those with church connections, and as requested. 

- Pastoral support was provided to a refugee family, accommodated locally by the Home Office and who came to attend church regularly.  This included a significant gift to help the family relocate to Stoke-on-Trent. 

- A gift was made to European Mission Fellowship (EMF) Ukraine charity Ukraine Emergency Appeal, Registered Charitable Company No. 1071823 

- A church team took part in the annual Dragon Boat Festival, as organised by Warwick-Avon Rotary Club (Registered Charity No. 512672), had fun, got wet, supported the community event and raised money for local charities (Myton Hospice and Birmingham Childrens’ Hospital). 

- Following prayerful consideration and a vote of KCC Members, a decision was made to provide significant financial support (£15,000 over three years) to Christians Against Poverty (CAP), Registered Charity No. 1097217.  Payment of this gift was due to commence after this reporting period (ie. no 

Page 4                                                                        Report Period: 2022/2023 

Ref. KCC-SP-04 



payments were made within the reporting period to 31 March 2023) and it is acknowledged that this gift will be largely sourced from funds currently held (rather than income). 

## _**Note:**_ 

The financial giving undertaken (and planned) to organisations are all to charities registered in England with the Charities Commission and this giving is fully complaint with the objects of Kenilworth Community church CIO ( as set out in Section 2.1 of this report).  Likewise, financial gifts to individuals have been undertaken with agreement of the Trustees and this giving is fully complaint with the objects of Kenilworth Community Church CIO.  No gifts have been made to organisations or individuals outside of the UK. 

## **2.4.3 Membership** 

Church membership (as defined in the _Kenilworth Community Church Members’ Handbook_ ) totalled 30 on 31 March 2023.  However, it was also noted that three families (6 Members) had indicated that they were due to leave and cease Membership fairly soon after this date. 

## **2.4.4 Church  Leadership** 

The Elders serving for the period of this report are synonymous with the Trustees as listed in this report.  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 report period, Adrian Hodder, both a Trustee and Elder, was in full-time employment. 

During the period 12 December 2022 to 31 March 2023, Amber Ball was in part-time employments as Administrator, to provide support to the Elders and church. 

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.  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.   In particular, the forward planning was structured around a Five-Year Vision, looking head to plan and structure activities to best meet the charity objectives.

Ref. KCC-SP-04 



## **2.5.2 Ministry** 

The Full-time Elder 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 part-time Administrator, Amber Ball together with Treasurer and Deacon, John Whittle. 

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. 

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. 

## **2.6 Financial Review** 

## **2.6.1 Overview** 

This report covers the 12 months to 31 March 2023 and is the fourth 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 £11,073 over expenditure for the period.  It is thanks to the Lord’s provision that there was no fall in income for the church during this period. 

Income is provided predominantly by regular (standing order) gifts, and regular communication is maintained with givers to monitor giving to Kenilworth Community church.  There are no material investments during this reporting period. 

## **2.6.3 Expenditure** 

Expenditure for the period was below the expected budget predictions and also slightly below income levels, as outlined above.  .  Expenditure has been carefully monitored by the Treasurer, and has related to items necessary for the charity to fulfil its objectives, as set out in Section 2.1. 

## **2.6.4 Reserves Policy** 

The surplus in income over expenditure for the period has permitted an increase in total funds from  £58,828 to £69,901 over the period.  A reserve of £16,000 has been agreed; this provides for 3 to 4 months of operation.

Ref. KCC-SP-04 



## **2.6.5 Restricted Funds and Endowment Funds** 

Restricted Funds were in operation for the following: 

- Carriers of Hope charity 

- Gifts to a Refugee Family 

- European Mission Fellowship (EMF) Ukraine charity 

- Gifts made specifically for use with the Practical Care Support 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. 

## **2.6.7 Fundraising** 

Then raising of funds is primarily by notification to Members of Kenilworth Community Church (KCC) at Members’ meetings.  Other donations  for KCC are welcomed but are not expressly sought.  From time to time, the work of other charitable organisations is highlighted and donations invited from within a public meeting or KCC Members’ meeting.    There is no soliciting of individuals at any time, no distribution of flyers and donations are never requested from vulnerable persons or under 18s  Professional fundraisers are not used. 

## **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. 

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. 

It is acknowledged that a general climate of financial instability is applicable.  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._

## **APPENDIX  I** 

## **REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER OF THE ACCOUNTS** 

## **Accounts for the year ended 31[st] March 2023** 

## **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.
