## **Trustees' Report for the year ended 31 March 2022** 

The Trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2022. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015). 

The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the accounts and comply with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. 

All the assets and liabilities of Parklands Evangelical Church charitable trust were transferred to Parklands Evangelical Church CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organisation), charity number 1185754, on 31 March 2020. 

## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

## **Object of the Charity and Activities** 

The object of Parklands Evangelical Church CIO, hereinafter called “the church” is to glorify God through worship, building up members in spiritual understanding and maturity by Biblical teaching, spreading the gospel and service to others.  The Trustees consider that everything the church does is part of the fulfilment of this one object.  Consequently, no separable significant activities are reported. 

In the year under review, the church continued to operate from premises at Maes y Gollen, Sketty Park, Swansea, though the use of these premises was impacted by the Covid 19 pandemic.  New members joined the church and various projects undertaken by the church continued to grow, as the charity sought to develop its ministries. 

When planning church activities for the year, the Trustees have considered the Commission’s Guidance on public benefit and in particular the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. 

## **Grantmaking** 

As in past years, the church has contributed financially to other ministries which hold to shared objectives.  The Trustees approve the recipients of all grants made. 

## **Volunteers** 

While employing a number of full-time staff, the church also has numerous volunteer helpers, who are responsible for the support of many activities in the church.  It is not possible to place a monetary value on the contributions made by volunteers, nor are figures available at this time to show how many hours of service they provide. 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

## **Charitable Activities** 

## **Summary of Activities 2021-22** 

## **Leadership Report** 

As we continued to rebuild and refocus the year 2021 to 2022, our aim continued to be 'rebuild', reconnect and re-establish the new normal.... 

Transitioning through a year of Covid to 'living with it', still proved to be challenging as we blended online provision and in person community events. 

Christmas 2021 was an example of this, when we managed to run a community gathering in the car park, followed by a sudden lockdown, forcing us to go online again for the Christmas services. 

Through the year, we managed to restart other community projects, including toddler groups, Friday night youth and children's work and our wider Church program. 

Throughout the year we also found that the effects of 'Covid lockdowns' had caused an unsettling amount of wellbeing related issues and therefore a larger than usual amount of pastoral care was undertaken. 

In conclusion, another re-establishing year... Encouragement of seeing the Church 'come back', while also seeing the Church community grow, representing a broader spectrum and variety than previously seen.

## **PUBLIC BENEFIT STATEMENT** 

The Trustees confirm that they have complied with the duty in the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit. The Church provides public benefit principally in the provision of a Place of Worship, with regular services open to all members of the public. The Church seeks to fulfil its charitable objectives in the advancement of Christianity and in supporting those in need. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Accounting Practice (SORP) FRS 102.  As a result, they do not contain a separate _Income and Expenditure Account_ but rather a _Statement of Financial Activities_ .  This shows total Income offset against total Expenditure, and includes the information which has to be disclosed in an _Income and Expenditure Account_ .  In addition, the accounts comply with the requirements of the charity’s governing documents. 

Total Income for the year of £176,448 (2021 - £238,591) consists chiefly of donations and legacies of £143,017 (2021 - £189,316) and associated tax refunds of £25,924 (2021 - £30,266). A deficit of £1,984 (2021 – surplus of £42,486) was incurred in the year. 

The charity has sufficient funds to meet all its financial requirements.  At 31 March 2022 the charity’s funds totalled £356,363 (2021 - £358,347), while its free reserves totalled £69,815, as noted below under _Reserves Policy_ . 

## **Going Concern** 

Having considered budget and cash flow projections for the next twelve months in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Trustees are confident that the Church will continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future and consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Church's ability to continue as a going concern. It is therefore considered appropriate by the Trustees to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. 

The accounts comply with the current statutory requirements and the charity's governing documents. 

## **Reserves Policy** 

The Trustees have examined the level of reserves held at the year-end in light of the main risks facing the organisation. A policy has been established to maintain free reserves sufficient to cover temporary short-falls in income. The Trustees are aware of the need to accumulate sufficient reserves such that the Church can continue in operation during any short-term income shortfall. It is intended to hold free reserves equal to two months’ budgeted running costs. This is estimated to be £30,000. 

The free reserves of a charity represent the funds that are freely available to spend. In calculating the free reserves, the Trustees have deducted from the total of unrestricted funds any designated funds at the year end and the net book value of all tangible fixed assets as detailed in the accounts. This leaves a surplus of free reserves at 31 March 2022 of £69,815, which is deemed to be a sufficient level of reserves by the Trustees. 

The policy is reviewed by the Trustees on an ongoing basis. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing Document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a Constitution, and is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). It was registered with the Charity Commission on 10 October 2019. 

The CIO is governed by its Constitution, which establishes the objects and powers of the charity.  Under the Constitution, the Trustees are elected to serve for a period of five years. 

## **Recruitment, Appointment and Training of New Trustees** 

The Constitution provides for a minimum of four Trustees.  Each Trustee must be appointed by a resolution of the Trustees passed at a special meeting of the Trustees. 

## **Induction and Appointment of New Trustees** 

The Trustees are responsible for the induction of any new Trustees. This involves making them aware of a Trustee’s responsibilities and of the nature of the governing document and administrative procedures. A new Trustee would receive a copy of the charity’s Trust Deed together with a copy of the charity’s latest Annual Report and Accounts. 

## **Organisational Structure** 

The charity is governed by its Trustees. An administrative team is entrusted with the implementation of many of the Trustees’ decisions. 

## **Risk Management** 

The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. 



**Parklands Evangelical Church CIO_______________________________________________** 4 

The management committee has conducted its own review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and systems have been established to mitigate those risks. 

External risks to funding have led to the initiation of a plan to be developed which will allow for the growth of unrestricted reserves over time.  Internal risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects with the intention of ensuring consistent quality in respect of all operational aspects of the charity.  These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the charity. 

## **Key Management Remuneration** 

The Board of Trustees is considered to be the Key Management Personnel of the charity. No Key Management Personnel received any remuneration or refunds of expenses from the charity during the year.

## **FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS** 

The church is committed to its objectives of advancing the Christian faith and the worship of God in the City and County of Swansea and elsewhere.  Its Trustees believe that its existing activities have begun to achieve these ends. Consequently, no significant changes in its activity are planned for the forthcoming year. 



**Parklands Evangelical Church CIO_______________________________________________** 5 

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES** 

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Trust Deed require the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the income and application of resources, including the income and expenditure of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- 

- 

   - observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP; 

   - make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue to operate. 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the Trust Deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Parklands Evangelical Church** 

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees** 

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the accounts of Parklands Evangelical Church (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2022, which are set out on pages 7 to 14. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity Trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act).  The charity’s Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Act and that an Independent Examination is required. 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’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 respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or 

- 2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

- 3 the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a “true and fair view” which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

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

1 **Accounting Policies** 

## **Notes to the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2022** 

## **Statutory information and commencement of activity** 

Parklands Evangelical Church is a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) registered with the Charity Commission in England & Wales. The registered and operational address is Maes y Gollen, Sketty, Swansea, SA2 8HQ. 

All the assets and liabilities of Parklands Evangelical Church Charitable Trust were transferred from Parklands Evangelical Church Trust to Parklands Evangelical Church CIO, charity number 1185754, at the close of activity on 31 March 2020. 

## **Basis of preparing the Financial Statements** 

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared in accordance with the relevant version of the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. 

The accounts (financial statements) have been prepared to give a “true and fair view” and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a “true and fair view”.  This departure has involved following the relevant version of the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005 which has since been withdrawn. 

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

As the Church qualifies as a smaller charity, the Trustees have opted for the concession to use resource classifications instead of activity categories in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

## **Going Concern** 

Having considered budget and cash flow projections for the next twelve months in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Trustees are confident that the Church will continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future and consider that there are no material uncertainties about the Church's ability to continue as a going concern. It is therefore considered appropriate by the Trustees to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. 

## **Financial Reporting Standard 102 - Reduced Disclosure Exemptions** 

In preparing these financial statements the charity has taken advantage of the exemption from preparing a cash flow statement, as permitted by FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. 

## **Income Recognition** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

Legacy gifts are recognised on a case by case basis following the granting of probate when the administrator/executor for the estate has communicated in writing both the amount and settlement date. 

Interest on funds held on deposit is included upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the Bank. 

## **Expenditure and Irrecoverable VAT** 

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Irrecoverable VAT is charged as a cost against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred. 



**Parklands Evangelical Church CIO_______________________________________________** 10 

## **Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation** 

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. 

Freehold property - 0% on land and 2% on buildings if held at cost Fixtures & fittings etc - 10% or 25% on cost 

All assets costing more than £200 are capitalised. and the minimum item net book value is £200. 

## **Taxation** 

The Trust is a charity and accordingly is exempt from taxation on its income and gains where they are applied for charitable purposes. 

## **Fund Accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of Church. Any revaluation reserve held would represent the difference between the most recent revaluation of property assets and their historic cost. Restricted funds are donations which the donor, or the Trust when making an appeal, has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the charity’s work. The capital of any expendable endowment fund can be spent if the trustees so determine. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund held is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **Financial Instruments** 

The Church only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value. 

## **Creditors and Provisions** 

Creditors and Provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and Provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount after allowing for any trade discounts due. 

## 2 **Voluntary Income** 

During the year grants totalling £7,500 were received. No income was received from the use of the premises by third parties. Bank interest of £7 was received. 

Legacies received are included in Voluntary Income. 

## 3 **Charitable Activities :** 

**Grants payable in furtherance of the charity’s objects** 

During the period, gifts to Missions totalled £21,155, with gifts to overseas missions accounting for £14,470 of this sum.

Much of the work of the charity is carried out voluntarily by its members.  No adjustment has been made to the accounts for the estimated value of these services, as the Trustees do not consider that any financial cost has been borne by any third party. 

## **8 Trustees’ Remuneration** 

No Trustee received any remuneration from the Trust during the year nor were any expenses which had been incurred by the Trustees refunded to them. 

## **9 Staff Costs** 

No employees received emoluments in excess of £60,000 during the year. 

The average number of employees in the year was 4. 

Staff costs for the year totalled £102,796, comprising salaries of £90,152, Employers’ NI contributions of £7,559 and Employer’s Pension Contributions of £5,085.

On 2 October 2020 the property was professionally valued by Rhodri Poiner of Mallard Chartered Surveyors who considered the property to have a market value of £250,000.  This has been accepted as a fair statement of the property’s open market value as at that date. No revaluation of assets occurred in the current year. Consequently, the charity’s property is again stated at a valuation of £250,000, less depreciation, as at 31 March 2022.  The Trustees estimate the value of the land held to be £50,000.  Fixtures, fittings and equipment are held at cost less accumulated depreciation.
