From 1 July 2022 To 30 June 2023 Charity name: Herringthorpe United Reformed Church
Charity registration number: 1188902
Objectives and Activities
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | Herringthorpe United Reformed Church (HURC), its Minister, Rev Matt Stone, and its elders (most of whom are Trustees) exist to promote the mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic and social, and we work alongside other churches when we can in order to facilitate this. Our mission statement is to “Love God, love one another and love our community.” and it is our wish that this ethos permeates all that we do. The Trustees are also responsible for the maintenance of the Church complex, which includes the main sanctuary, a lounge and kitchen area, a smaller meeting hall (“The Clynes Hall”) and a larger youth activities centre, used mainly (but not exclusively) by our uniformed organisations. The Manse, occupied by the Minister, forms part of our church grounds, but is situated on an adjacent road which backs onto our property. |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
The Minister and Trustees constantly review the various opportunities which are on offer to both our own church members and also the wider community. They have regard to the “public benefit” of our activities, and desire that our church should be at the heart of our community, both physically and figuratively. They analyse and consider what is on offer for various identified groups – children, older people, young parents and families, the socially isolated – and seek to organise dedicated and appropriate provision. This provision might typically involve opportunities for worship and prayer, learning about the Christian faith, and deepening personal spirituality, or simply meeting together on a more social basis. It involves thepastoral care of all,withparticular |
| attention to those who are in vulnerable groups. We seek to have an awareness of wider need, and through our nominated charities, church members and attendees make contributions, both financially and as volunteers, which benefit the three charities we support in any given year. These charities are elected by secret ballot at a church meeting of the membership – a new one being elected each year, and one being deselected after a three-year term period has elapsed. A series of “charity” events is arranged in our church premises each year, with the proceeds benefiting our ‘church charities’; these can be coffee mornings, a summer fayre, or a quiz and meal, for example. With the removal of Covid restrictions, we were able to hold events inside with larger groups of participants. |

| Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit |
Para 1.18 | The church serves a mixed demographic. Immediately surrounding the church premises there is a considerable amount of owner- occupied housing, both established 1930s stock and also more extensive housing developments from the 1960s. However, within less than one mile, there is a large estate of social housing which falls into the most deprived 2% in England [Source: Rotherham East Ward Profile 2017]. Ministering to such a disparate population presents considerable opportunities, and at the same time, challenges to our church. |

|---|---|---|
| Policy on grant making | Para 1.38 | The church supports three charities on a rolling basis. One new charity is elected each year which replaces the oldest one. The church donates 6% of its offering (including Gift Aid Receipts) income plus receipts from charity fundraising events, which were reduced during the year due to the effects of the Covid pandemic. Nevertheless, we donated £6,076 to our charities. We also, where possible, contribute to other national and international appeals. Lastyear thesegifts totalled £1,422 |
| Policy on social investment including program related investment |
Para 1.38 | We do not participate in any social investment programme. |
| Contribution made by volunteers |
Para 1.38 | We are thankful to the large group of volunteers who work tirelessly to contribute to the success of the church’s mission in our community. Our activities require the active participation of a largegroupof unpaid volunteers,who not only |
| deliver the various provisions, but also ensure that the church remains compliant with all regulation regarding health and safety, food hygiene and safeguarding. We are immensely grateful to them. All the church’s elders, and office-holders, with the exception of our Minister, youth worker and families’ worker, cleaners and a part-time administrative assistant,work on an unpaid basis. |

Achievements and Performance

| Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole. |
Para 1.20 | All in-person activities restarted over the course of the year, following the pandemic and numbers at our Sunday Services slowly increased as people felt able to re-join us. These numbers are still, however, approximately 25% down from pre-pandemic levels. In addition to our traditional Sunday Services, we also run Café Church Services which are a more informal type of service. Café Church includes activities for both adults and children enabling us to engage with families for whom traditional services are not suitable. Mid-week activities for adults including our Monday Club, Craft Group and (in person) Bible Study and Prayer groups continue to serve a wide range of people. Our Memory Lane Dementia-friendly Café continues to thrive. For one afternoon a month, we welcome 30-40 people for friendship, support and entertainment. The financial support we received last year from our local council and Arnold Clark Motor Car Suppliers along with “on the day” raffle receipts ensure we are financially viable for the foreseeable future. Our Children’s and Youth Work thrived during the year, as old children returned and new children joined our various groups. We are blessed to have 5 uniformed groups: Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Rainbows and Brownies. Sadly, the Guides group closed during the year due to falling numbers. All groups face the challenge of a shortage of volunteers, though a few parents have come forward to help. In addition, our weekly Kids Club and Youth Club have seen a significant increase in numbers. In February 2023,we held a children’s HolidayClub, |
| attended by around 35 children, and |
|---|
| throughout the year we also held a number of |
| one-off Messy Church and family activities. Our |
| Mother and Toddler group, ‘Cheeky Chicks’, |
| continues to thrive with a total of 32 toddlers |
| registered plus their carers attending sessions |
| each week. In total, we estimate that these |
| activities on our premises have reached around |
| 150 different children and young people. In |
| addition, our Minister and Children’s Worker |
| have also led regular school assemblies in 4 |
| schools, and RE lessons in 2 schools, reaching |
| hundreds of children each month. |
| Across all age-groups, we continued to offer |
| pastoral and practical help regularly to our |
| members and friends, as well as members of the |
| wider community. All our church members and |
| regular attendees are assigned to the care of |
| one of our church elders, who maintain a |
| pastoral oversight and bring any matters of |
| concern to our minister and/or pastoral visitors, |
| who assist the minister in visiting the ill, the |
| housebound or those in care facilities. As our |
| congregation is drawn from a relatively wide |
| geographical area across Rotherham we are, |
| occasionally, made aware of families suffering |
| financial hardship within our church family. We |
| have always maintained a fund (the Caring |
| Fund) within our accounts that we use to |
| provide support as and when the need arises. |
| We anticipate that there will be more calls on |
| this fund over the coming weeks and months |
| and we are encouraging those who are able to |
| make additional contributions to the fund. We |
| gave gifts totalling £850 in the last financial |
| year. |
| Members of our worshipping community |
| continued to support the Rotherham Foodbank |
| (with increased impetus as needs became more |
| apparent) and we supported Operation |
| Christmas Child, sending a large number of |
| shoeboxes of items to children in need. Three of |
| our members, including our Minister, are |
| volunteer chaplains at Rotherham Hospice. We |
| also supported our three chosen charities with |
| finances, which for the financial year 2023 were |
| International China Concern (6 months), |
| Lighthouse Homes, Rotherham Hospice and |
| Rotherham Foodbank (6 months). |

| Achievements against objectives set |
Para 1.41 | Whilst no formal targets exist for any of our initiatives, we constantly review the effectiveness of our various activities to make sure we are having a positive impact on those people that the service is designed to support. |
|---|---|---|
| Performance of fundraising activities against objectives set |
Para 1.41 | We endeavour to hold at least 4 specific fundraising events each calendar year; 1 for church funds and 3 for our charities. These were, obviously, curtailed during the Covid-19 pandemic. We have now gone back to our pre- pandemic levels of fundraising activities. |
| Investment performance against objectives |
Para 1.41 | As a charitable organisation, we are considerably risk averse and, as such, financial stability is more important that investment return, thus we do not set investment performance targets. We hold funds in two accounts managed by 2 different financial institutions: A current account with CAF Bank and a deposit account with COIF. Both these accounts are protected under the FCA compensation scheme. Our total financial assets are under £170,000. |

| Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period |
Para 1.21 | Financial summary for the financial year-end 30 June 2023. Total Receipts: £167,700, Total Payments: £140,966, Surplus £26,734, Balance at end of year £158,799, of which £31,950 is restricted. We also have a charitable fund for district churches of £3,732 giving us unrestricted funds of £123,117 |
| Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held |
Para 1.22 | Whilst we have no formal reserves policy, we do take our responsibility to maintain the fabric of our church buildings seriously and over the years we have attempted to maintain a list of major items that will need replacing over the following 10 years. We usually aim to obtain grant funding for major capital expenditure projects and have historically been successful (at least part). We have a notional allowance of £12-£15K per annum for these major items and aim to hold 3 years reserves. Most of our income comes from Freewill Offerings and the hiring out of our rooms. We do not expect our offerings to disappear overnight and, in the case of our lettings income, we have business interruption cover on our insurance policy. We received a total of £49,087.51 for losses due to the Covid-19 pandemic (£16,722 in the last financialyear) |

| The charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising) |
Para 1.47 | Our two main sources of income are the freewill offering from our members and the income from the letting of our rooms to local organisations and charities. We often receive additional income through grants, which we usually apply for to support specific activities and projects within the church. |
| Investment policy and objectives including any social investment policy adopted |
Para 1.46 | We have no formal policy as discussed under “Achievements and performance”. |
| A description of the principal risks facing the charity |

Para 1.25 | CIO |
| Trustee selection methods including details of any constitutional provisions e.g. election to post or name of any person or body entitled to appoint one or more trustees |
Para 1.25 | The Church is managed on a day-to-day basis by its minister and elders, who consider and evaluate the vision of the church, and ensure that appropriate policies in connection with Health and Safety, Risk Assessment, Child/Vulnerable Persons’ protection, and other legal requirements, are in place. Most elders are also trustees of the organisation, unless disqualified by virtue of being employed by or in a close relationship with an employee, e.g. a spouse. The elders serve a three-year term. All elders, who are first assessed for suitability by the elders’ meeting, are elected at an annual Church Meeting by secret ballot, thus ensuring the confidence of the membership. They maintain an overview of all of the church’s activities, and in addition to their regular meetings, hold a full annual “away day” when all aspects of the church’s provision and activity are systematicallyreviewed. |
