## **Significant activities** 

The charity was constituted on 16 July 2020 as a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) 

The main current activities include:

- A range of affordable bible training courses, including day and evening, held throughout the North West of England, which are designed to help church members including ministry trainees to better understand how to read and teach the bible. Events are subsidised and concessions can be made available if individuals are unable to afford the training; - Specific training courses to support evangelical churches around the North West of England including youth worker training courses. These are designed to support and encourage Christian fellowships across the North West and enable them to be more effective in their Christian ministry;

## **NORTH WEST GOSPEL PARTNERSHIP** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 August 2023** 

## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE** 

The Partnership continues to deliver services and benefits through the key activities outlined above. 

We have have continued to support many evangelical churches and members across the North West through the provision of training, events and support. 

Student numbers picked up this year, with two in person training courses during the day and one evening course provided. 

Activities such as the Annual Conference and Youth Worker Conference continue to be well attended. 

We are delighted to continue sharing gospel activity through partnership with other member churches. 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Principal funding sources** 

Income is derived primarily from charges for events and training courses, and also through donations from member churches and individuals. We are grateful to these organisations and people for their financial support. 

## **Investment policy and objectives** 

Expenditure includes salaries for our team, costs for running events and publishing general magazines to support and encourage other initiatives across the North West. We seek to make events self-funding, but will consider running events at a loss (supported by member churches and other donations) if it furthers the proclamation of the good news of Jesus Christ across the region or makes the course accessible to those who could not ordinarily afford to attend. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The charity seeks to maintain sufficient reserves to cover six months' salaries. 

## **FUTURE** 

Following the repayment of the loan of by North West Church Resource Charitable Trust, the charity has more control over its finances. Although a decision has not yet been made as to the best use of the funds the charity is looking into the possibility of acquiring its own premises. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Governing document** 

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of constitution and constitutes a charitable incorporated organisation as defined by the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new trustees** 

Apart from the first charity trustees, every trustee must be appointed for a term of three years by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees. 

In selecting individuals for appointment as charity trustees, the charity trustees must have regard to skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the CIO. 

At all times there must be at least four trustees and there is no maximum. 

## **Organisational structure** 

The Charity consists of the Board of Trustees, a Director and an administrator. 

## **Induction and training of new trustees** 

The charity trustees will make available to each new charity trustee, on or before his or her first appointment: 

- a copy of the current version of this constitution and 

- a copy of the CIO's latest Trustees Annual report and statement of accounts. 

- a copy of all the policies and procedures for the North West Gospel Partnership

## **NORTH WEST GOSPEL PARTNERSHIP** 

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 August 2023** 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Related parties** 

Our activities are designed to support gospel initiatives where individual churches would be unable to perform them  and to encourage churches in the region to undertake initiatives where they proclaim clearly the gospel or where they train individuals, so they can be more effective for Christ. This encouragement is through: 

Enabling member churches to work together to support and encourage each other 

Providing services and events such as training where an individual church would not be able to provide such services. These courses are open to aII evangelical Christians and are priced cost effectively to enable objectives including any people from all backgrounds to attend. 

Making the services of our team available to other Churches to support their ministry 

An annual conference to make individuals across the region aware of the great work being undertaken throughout the North West.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF NORTH WEST GOSPEL PARTNERSHIP** 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of North West Gospel Partnership** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of North West Gospel Partnership (the Trust) for the year ended 31 August 2023. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust 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 Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement - matters of concern identified** 

I have completed my examination. 

As the records made available to us were limited, we have not been able to obtain evidence to verify completeness of income. Apart from monies identified as received for ministry training, diplomas and Sound Holidays, all monies paid into the charity's bank account have been shown as donations in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

I confirm that no other matters have come to my attention that give me cause to believe that in any material respect: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do 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 confirm that there are no other matters to which your attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**NORTH WEST GOSPEL PARTNERSHIP** 

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS for the Year Ended 31 August 2023** 

## **1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

## **Basis of preparing the financial statements** 

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. 

## **Income** 

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably. 

Donations are recognised upon receipt, unless the donor either requests that income be utilised in a future accounting period or the charity reaches a certain performance level. In such cases donation income is deferred until these conditions are met. 

Ministry training and diploma income is recognised at the fair value of consideration receivable. Income is recognised during the period in which the training is delivered to the the delegate. 

Sound Holidays income is recognised at the fair value of consideration receivable. Income is recognised during the period in which the holiday camp takes place. 

## **Expenditure** 

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. 

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure. 

## **Taxation** 

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities. 

## **Fund accounting** 

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. 

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes. 

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements. 

## **Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the  Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
