Church Services continue to take place regularly on both Sunday morning and Sunday evening. The services are delivered in person and are shared online to enable those members of the congregation who cannot attend on Sunday morning to watch the service at a convenient time.

This has been done by providing practical help in delivering boxes of food and clothing, and providing a place for parents to drop their children off for a few hours per week at our Toddler’s morning held on Thursdays.

The church donates food to the local food banks to help those families who are struggling with the current cost of living crisis. In addition, we have also organised teams to help the sick or elderly with garden chores, errands and other tasks needed.

The church also provides counselling and other Pastoral help to anyone in the community through discussion with the Pastor.

Over the last 12 months our main activities have focused on delivering our key objectives as a Charity. The church is growing and is seen as a place where members of the local community can come for help.

Trustees Report

Statement of trustees’ responsibilities

The Charities Act requires the Board of Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Board is required to:-

The Trustees are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with regulations made under the Charities Act. 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.

The trustees are also responsible for the contents of the trustees' report, and the responsibility of the independent examiner in relation to the trustees' report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that, on the face of the report, there are no inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.

This report was approved by the board of trustees on 21 October 2022

Notes to the accounts

1. Basis of accounting

Receipts and payments accounts are permitted for smaller Charitable Incorporated Organisations. They summarise the movement of cash into and out of the charity during the financial year. In this context “cash” includes cash equivalents, for example bank accounts where cash can be readily withdrawn to pay for debts as they become due.

2. The nature and purpose of each fund

Restricted funds comprise monies received for specific purposes, as laid down by the donor. Appropriate expenditure is allocated against such funds.

Unrestricted funds are those funds which are available for the general purposes of Southside Baptist Church.

3. Trustee remuneration

No Trustee receives remuneration for their services as a trustee of Southside Baptist Church. All Trustees are reimbursed where appropriate for expenditure incurred on behalf of the Charity. These expenses are included in the receipts and payments accounts in the appropriate category.
