Hist
The first Skt Nikolaj Church was purchased in 1869 and was the old chape5 'Bethesda' in
Osborne street.
In 1871, on May 9th , a new church was consecrated. During the first World War the
Sailors were forbidden to go ashore, so the church had to come to the Sailors.
On May 9th 1941 the church suffered a dirett hit by bombs, as did the majority of Hull. On
May 9th 1954 a new Skt Nikolaj Danish Seamen's Church was consecrated. This new
church was built on Osborne Street and is the one still used tc(lay.

Report of the Board of Trustees
For the year ended 31 De￿mber 2021
Objectives and Activitl&s for Publlc Benefit
As *t out in the Memorandum of Association, the Charity's objects are"
l) To advance the Christian faith for the benef￿ of the public by the holding of prayer
meetings and Ce￿MonieS conducted according to the rules of the Danish National Church.
2)To promote for the inhabitants of Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire, the provision of
facilities for education, recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who have
need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablemen¢ financial
hardship or social or economic circumstances or for the public at large in the interests of
social welfare and with the objett of improving the condition of life of the said inhabitsnts
Main ob e
ives for the followin
In developing the main objectives for the following year the Trustees have given regard to
the Charity Commlsslon guidance on public benefit.
Our main objectives for the followlng year are:
l) To complete the transfer of all assets and liabilities to the new Charitsble
Incorporated Organisation.
2) Following the withdrawal of the pastOf71 support previously provided by the Danske
Soemands og Udlandskirker (DSUK) the Church has developed plans to preserve its
capacity to provide for divine seNices according to the traditions of the Danish
Church. Desplte delays in implementstion caused by the coronavirus epidemic, the
Church continues to prOg￿$S Its plans and remains confident that it will achieve
financial sustainability whilst continuing to support the spiritual needs of its
community.
Achievements and Perfornlance
The attivities of Slff Nickolaj Danish Church CIO (the Company) should be considered as
an integral part of SKt Nikolaj Danish Seamans Church and this annual report should be
read in conjunction with those of its sister organisation. During the year the Company
continued to support the Danish Seamans Church by co-ordinatlng the Church's events
through its employee, the Hull Centre Manager (the Manager). The Manager was fully
responsible for the day-to-day management of the Church's financial affairs and activities
and was instrumental in securing a material improvement in income arKI in contsining the
Church's normal operating costs.

Report of the Board of Trustees
For the year ended 31 December 2021
Financial Review
During 2021 the planned transfer of advities from the Company's sister organisation
remained incomplete. Consequently, transactions were limited to the employment of the
Centre Manager only and to the receipt of £16.2k in the form of a charitsble transfer from
Its sister organisatlon
During much of the year the Centre Manager's activities were restritted by government
actions relating to the covid pandemic. The manager was nevertheless retained as an
employee on a full salary. Just under £IOk of the Managerfs costs were covered by
receipts under the Government s Job Retention Scheme. In future years all attivities will
be run under the auspices of the Company alone and its accounts will consequently reflect
the totslity of the Hull Danish Church's financial transactions.
Reserves Policy
It is the general policy of the charity to maintain unrestritted funds, whlch are the free
reserves of the charity. Any surplus will be retained in the unrestritted fund to support future
running costs.
Plans for Future periods
l) To complete the delayed transfer of all assets and liabilities to the new Charitable
Incorporated Organisation.
2) To sustain the Church's capacity to provide for divine serrf1￿ according to the
traditions of the Danish Church.
It is intended that the church will fund its own future pastoral provision as well as
developing cultural activities designed to forge a link between the Church and the wider
community. The Church's strategyi Staffing arrangements and financial plannlng reflect
thls objettive.
3) Progress the Implementatlon of the business plan ag￿ed in 2019
As noted above, the covid-19 pandemic Interfered significantly with the timing of the
Church's plan to achieve financial sustslnability. Some important progress has been made
however and the underlying plan remalns intatt. We wlll prog￿SSive1Y assume the full
range of attivities aimed at ralsing income, seeking to achieve breakeven within thr
years. In the interim, any emerging deficits can be more than adequately covered from
existing reseNes.

Plans for Future periods (continued)

Scandlnavian religious and culturdl traditions.

Respective responsibillties of trustees and examiner
The charity s trustees are responsible for the preparatlon of the accounts. The charity's
trustees consider that an audit is not required for this period under section 144 of the

to follow the procedures laid down In the General Directions given by the Charity
Commissioners under section 145 (5)(b) of the Charities Att. and

Basls of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the Gener31 Directions given by the
Charty Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by
the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with tho* records. It also
Includes consideration of any unusual item5 or disclosures in the accounts, arKI seeking
explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken
do not provide all the eviden￿ that would be required in an audit, and consequently no
opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fairf view and the report is
limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statsment
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my
attention (other than that disdosed below ") in connection with the examination which
gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
accounting records We￿ not kept in accordance with settion 130 of the 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 understsnding
of the accounts to be reached.
