TRUSTEES’ REPORT
PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
The Trustees, who are directors for the purposes of company law, present their report together with the financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2021.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on page 7 and comply with the charity’s constitution, applicable law and the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objects and aims
The object of ReBorne Community Church (the Church) is the advancement of the Christian faith in accordance with the Statement of Faith through word and social action.
Public benefit
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of section 4 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission for England and Wales.
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 a copy of the constitution, and a copy of the Church’s latest accounts available to each new trustee on or before their appointment.
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
The legal paperwork relating to the merger of two previous charities to form ReBorne continues but as stated previously is dated as November 2020.
The work of ReBorne Church initially curtailed in 2021 but has since gradually increased with new opportunities commenced.
Initially services continued online but as restrictions lifted the congregation met together in the Milborne Port building. Due to increasing numbers, the decision to meet on a Sunday at the New Digby Hall in Sherborne had been made but movement into this building postponed due to its use as a vaccination centre.
In September 2021 we moved into this building for Sunday services. The majority of the congregation felt able to return to worshipping together. Weekly fellowship groups were able to recommence in person, along with bible study and support. Within the community Coffee Stops re opened in Sherborne and Milborne Port, attendance increasing in both these venues.

ReBorne supported the shoebox appeal internationally.
The Alpha course was run online early in the year and then commenced as a daytime course which took place in person in the latter part of 2021.
Toddler groups in Milborne Port and Sherborne are attended regularly and support is given to families from contacts within these groups.
Plans to renovate and improve the building at Milborne Port to serve the community as a hub have been approved and the next stage of consulting the community and seeking funding is ongoing.
In May it was agreed to appoint a part time Children’s youth and families co-ordinator to develop and enhance the work that was sustained through lockdown within ReBorne Church and the community. This appointment was made, and the position commenced in July 2021.
Youth work continues. A group were accompanied to a Christian festival in the summer of 2021 and have also attended area events, they continue to meet weekly. Links with the local Secondary school remain in place. ReBorne provides Chaplain support to the secondary school which includes supporting families in the community. The Primary School in Milborne Port is now supported with the provision of assemblies weekly – these have been via media links on occasions as and when it was felt appropriate by the school in regard to covid cases.

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 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.
