Annual Report 2021 Catch the Fire, Farnborough Charity Registration number: 1189161
The Charity is a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) governed by its foundation constitution document and registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales on 22[nd] April 2020. This is the second year of activity for the Charity.
Aims and Purposes
The objects of the CIO are religious worship, and Christian outreach and support in the Farnborough area, regionally and internationally.
Objectives in 2021
In 2021, the aim was to build on the tremendous start we enjoyed in 2020, and to make preparations for transitioning from meeting online, to meeting in-person, in as smooth a manner as possible. Also, the decision was made to strengthen the foundations of the new church before becoming intentional about growing attendance numbers, to ensure longevity. In addition, with the continuation of the COVID Pandemic, it was imperative to maintain the provision of pastoral support and provide a message of hope to our members and the wider community.
Achievements and performance
During 2021, Catch The Fire Farnborough (CTFF) saw significant growth, going from about 30 people at the beginning of the year, to around 50 by the end of 2021, which has been hugely encouraging considering we had made a conscious decision not to advertise the church, or actively seek to grow the church during 2021, in order to focus our efforts on strengthening the foundations.
As 2021 progressed, CTFF began the transition from solely having online gatherings to inperson. To aid the transition, it was decided to continue the daily ‘Thought for the Day’ until the middle of the year, at which point, as COVID restrictions began to lift, the daily messages were deemed less important, and so were discontinued. In the first half of the year, these daily thoughts were posted on Facebook and YouTube, and had proved to be very helpful to a large number of people, with regular positive feedback and messages of gratitude being received from around the world.
The Wednesday evening Zoom meeting continued throughout the year and saw very steady attendance figures of around 30 people. During Lockdown periods, the primary focus of these meetings was discipleship, unpacking the Sunday teaching from the previous week, and providing stimulating discussion questions for breakout rooms to discuss. This enabled the vision and values of the Church to be imparted and reinforced, ensuring a strong and health culture in the church, thereby strengthening the foundations of the church.

As the year progressed, it become possible to start regular in person Sunday gatherings, and after much effort a venue was secured for every Sunday afternoon. From September onwards, the church met at 3:00pm every Sunday afternoon at a secondary School in Farnborough. Meeting in person inevitably changed the dynamic of the church hugely, but it was readily seen that the investment in building a culture of family in the Zoom meetings, by inviting all members to share testimony was time well spent, as from the very first in person meeting there was a tremendous sense of family, and this continued to be reinforced through the rest of the year.
During the year, there were a few occasions when it was possible to gather socially, and also engage in outreach. During the Easter period, the majority of the church were involved in evangelism in Farnborough and Hook. The prayer life of the church also grew in 2021 with the establishing of an Intercessory Prayer Team, who met regularly on Zoom. In addition, as the restrictions lifted, the Staff Team were able to do more pastoral visits, and as part of our efforts to build on our vision to be family, we started monthly ‘Coffee and Catch-up’ gatherings in various homes.
The bulk of the teaching input continued to be delivered by our Senior Leaders, Christopher and Rachel Bird, but in 2021 we also benefitted from teaching input from Samuel Bird, Louise Mokhoff and Ruth Rogers, who between them brought very valuable teaching. The Senior Leaders have also ministered in other CTF churches around the UK as part of the wider ministry of CTF Farnborough.
The youth ministry has doubled in size during 2021, with the young people meeting in person every Tuesday evening when the restrictions allowed. The Youth Group meetings are a combination of fun & games, along with Bible study and discipleship, social events and trips out.
During 2021, the church also enjoyed a couple of special “one-off” events: in the summer, the church gathered at Alice Holt Country Park for a picnic, as groups were by now allowed to gather in groups outside; there was an amazing Family Day at the Cross Barn, in Odiham, where members of the church family brought an incredible array of food, and superb BBQs. Feedback suggested that this was one of the best church socials many people had ever attended.
Public benefit
The charity trustees have complied with their duty to have due regard to the guidance on public benefit published by the Charity Commission in exercising their powers and duties.

Structure, governance and management
The Trustees (listed below) have ensured due diligence in all matters relating to the management of CTFF, and to this end a qualified accountant has been appointed (in a voluntary capacity) to oversee the financial management of the church (directly accountable to the trustees). This includes oversight of payroll, PAYE, NI, Gift Aid and pension contributions for the staff team, as well as the daily financial management of income and expenditure. An independent financial examiner has also been appointed.
To ensure proper safeguarding, the trustees require all staff and any volunteers to have current DBS checks in place and an independent safeguarding body have provided these checks for us. A volunteer administrator has been appointed to ensure GDPR compliance, and volunteer children’s workers have also been appointed to work with the younger members of the CTFF family.
The trustees meet formerly quarterly but are also in close contact with the Senior Leaders to ensure the good management and governance of the Church.
Administrative Information
Trustees: Rev’d Christopher John Bird (Chair) Appointed for 4 years from March 2020 Mr Abraham Hendrik Marias Appointed for 3 years from March 2020 Mr David Richards Appointed for 2 years from March 2020
Staff Team: Rev’d Christopher J Bird Mrs Rachel Bird Mr Jonathan Bower
Head of Finance: Mrs Christine Widdowson
Reserves and Risk Management
It is the policy of the charity to build up and maintain unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at a level which equates to approximately three months’ unrestricted expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover management, administration and support costs. At the year-end this equated to approximately £33,107 compared to the actual general reserves of £11,907.
The trustees have considered the key operational, financial, and strategic risks that have a bearing on the charity. Suitable management information is available to the trustees on a regular basis to monitor these risks, and allow any mitigating action to be taken to address them.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES’ RESPONSIBILITIES
Charity law requires 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 its financial activities for that year. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:
-
a) select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; b) make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
c) state whether the policies adopted are in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice, “Accounting and Reporting by Charities (effective January 2019)” and with applicable accounting standards, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
d) prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume the charity will continue operating.
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. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or other irregularities.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER TO THE TRUSTEES
We report on the financial statements for the year ended 31[st] December 2021 set out on pages 7 to 14.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
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 which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts did 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.
