||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.|

||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|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**
||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|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).|

You may choose to include further statements where relevant about:
|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.|

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

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.|
