WHYBRIDGE CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP CHURCH
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE PERIOD 02 JULY 2019 to 31 DECEMBER 2020
The Trustees have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts for the period ended 31 December 2020.
The Whybridge Christian Fellowship Church CIO was newly formed on 2nd July 2019, and did not operate as a charity during the period until it received the transfer of assets from the Whybridge Christian Fellowship Trust, an excepted charity, on 31st December 2020.
Objects of the charity
The charity, which is a church, is governed by a constitution and is constituted as a charitable incorporated organisation. The charity's principal objects, as set out in its governing document, are:
a) to advance the Christian faith primarily, but not exclusively within Rainham, Essex and the surrounding neighbourhood
b) to put into practice the Christian 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 with the object of improving their conditions of life.
Summary of the charity's main activities and achievements
To further the above objects and vision, the charity's main activities and achievements during the period when it was operational as a Trust were as follows:
To hold regular meetings for the furtherance of the Christian faith and the community of believers who worship at Whybridge.
To allow other associations to use the building for the benefit of local people (not possible during COVID-19 restrictions)
To use digital media and our website to spread our work locally and worldwide and to provide details of other Christian organisation for the benefit of others
In planning the activities the Trustees have applied the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.
Financial review
During the year the charity received the transferred assets and liabilities from the Whybridge Christian Fellowship Trust. This transfer occurred on the 31st December 2020, and no further transactions took place in this charity. The transferred income was £17,986 of which £26 was restricted in purpose.
Reserves policy
The trustees have determined that the charity should aim to hold unrestricted cash of no less than £3,000 (which equates to about 2 months' of unrestricted expenditure) so that the charity could continue to operate should income and / or expenditure vary adversely. At the year end, the charity held unrestricted cash of £17,986 and the charity is complying with its reserves policy and in addition holding extra funds for the purpose of meeting our budget fixed costs of £1,380 per month with regular Trustee considerations of the cost repair and maintenance and other expenditure that arise from time to time.
COVID-19
The charity will continue to operate within the Covid -19 Government guidelines in 2021 which will include the reduced capacity in church services and the ongoing use of our website to publish our sermons and reach our wider congregation.
Responsibilities of trustees
Charity law requires us as Trustees to prepare financial statements for each accounting year which record the receipts and payments of the charity for the year.
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.
We also have a responsibility to safeguard the assets of the charity and to take reasonable steps to prevent fraud or any other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF
WHYBRIDGE CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP CHURCH
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Whybridge Christian Fellowship Church ('the charity') for the period ended 31 December 2020 on pages 5 to 7 following.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner’s statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 1. accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
- the accounts do not accord with the accounting records.
I have no concerns and 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.
