## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing document and charity constitution**
ReBorne Community Church is a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO), registered on 18 May 2020 and governed by its constitution.
## **Appointment of new trustees**
New trustees are appointed for a term of three years by a resolution passed at a properly convened Church Members Meeting. In selecting individuals for appointment as trustees, the Church membership has regard for the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the Church.
The trustees make available to each new trustee on or before their appointment a copy of the constitution, and a copy of the Church’s latest accounts.
A trustee who has served for two consecutive terms may not be reappointed for a third consecutive term but may be reappointed after an interval of at least two years.
## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
ReBorne Community Church was registered as a charity in May 2020.
This came about from the amalgamation of two churches Sherborne Community Church and Steps Community Church. Bank accounts for ReBorne were opened in September 2020.
The legal paperwork of merger of the two previous Charities with ReBorne continues, but is dated November 2020.
Activities within ReBorne Church during this period May – Dec 2020 have been curtailed somewhat due to the Covid-19 pandemic. However, we have continued to support the local community.
During lockdowns services continued on line through our YouTube channel and numbers linked to the Church increased from this medium.

## **TRUSTEES’ REPORT**
## **PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**
Youth services and groups continued during lockdown over Zoom and online through our YouTube channel, and then when advised by Government guidelines we met in person.
Toddler groups linked to Abbey View care home met via zoom and then when we were able, toddler groups also recommenced as per government guidelines.
As and when we were able to meet following Government guidelines, services were held live and on line using the Milborne Port venue. Our coffee shop activity was curtailed during this period due to the vulnerability of the regular attenders.
We continued to support Mission in the UK and abroad.
We supported an International student working within the church linked to South West Youth Ministries as a course placement hosting within a family home.
ReBorne supports schools work and as and when our local schools were open this work continued.
The end of the year saw us in lockdown once again with curtailed activities.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
Total receipts for the year came to £48,341. Of this, £42,597 was transferred from the previous churches Sherborne Community Church and Steps Community Church. Total payments for the year came to £3,963. This left £44,378 of cash funds carried forward.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF REBORNE COMMUNITY CHURCH**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of ReBorne Community Church (the Church) for the period ended 31 December 2020, which are set out on pages 5 to 7.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Church you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011(‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trustee’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:
- accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
- the accounts do not accord with those records.
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.
