## **Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 October 2023** 

## **Objects and activities of the charity** 

## _**The purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document.**_ 

To advance the Christian faith for the public benefit in accordance with the statement of beliefs and practices in the Schedule hereto in Wirral and in such other parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the charity trustees may from time to time think fit. 

To relieve persons who are in conditions of need or hardship, or who are aged or sick and to relieve the distress caused thereby in Wirral and wherever else in the world and trustees from time to time think fit. 

To promote and fulfill such other charitable objectives, beneficial to the community in Wirral or other parts of the world as the trustees may from time to time think fit. 

## _**The main activities undertaken in relation to those purposes during the year.**_ 

We have continued to hold church services, aiming to empower Christians and create a safe, warm, and welcoming environment for those who are exploring their faith. As the COVID situation improved, we prioritised gathering together and strengthening relationships by appointing leaders to oversee our connect groups, which are small groups that meet throughout the week. This has had a significant impact on our community, as we saw new people joining us throughout the year. Our Youth and Children's work has gone from strength to strength this year. Our team expanded the number of regular youth and children's groups we offer during the week to better engage with them and their families. We were able to resume our outreach in schools after the pandemic, reestablishing connections with our local educational institutions. Additionally, our Toddler Group, Roundabout, continues to have a huge impact on new parents and carers. Following the COVID restrictions, we established a new rhythm and venue within the church to effectively run this muchneeded ministry. 

The most significant change this year has been the launch of TLG Wirral. This alternative provision school works in collaboration with the local council and schools to provide education for individuals at risk of exclusion. Although we embarked on this journey in 2020, we received approval to open in 2021. Our centre officially opened in February 2022, and within the first six months, we have witnessed amazing transformations in the lives of many students. In May 2021, we achieved OFSTED registration, further validating our commitment to educational excellence. 

## _**The main activities undertaken during the year to further the charity's purpose for the public benefit.**_ 

1. holding regular services for worship 

2. holding regular activities for various age groups to demonstrate the relevance of the Christian faith to everyday life 

3. providing facilities for the local community 

4. visiting and supporting the aged and sick persons and others in need 

5. supporting various persons and groups engaged in ministering to the needs of others in various parts of the UK and abroad 

The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in managing the activities of the charity.

## **Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 October 2023** 

## _**The contribution of volunteers during the year.**_ 

The charity depends on the support of its volunteers, which is much appreciated. The charity had over 70 Volunteers who donated in excess of 3000 hours of their time doing roles that helped the church fulfil its charitable objectives including running Sunday Services, Children’s work and outreach within our community. We have a number of specialist volunteers overseeing Safeguarding and Finance Support. The arrangements with volunteers are difficult to value precisely in monetary terms and have not been recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities. The volunteers and the charity accept and agree that no contract of employment is created by these arrangements. 

## **The main achievements and performance of the charity during the year.** 

The main achievements and performance of the charity during the year. Throughout the year, the charity actively pursued its purpose of serving the public benefit through a range of meaningful activities. Firstly, regular services for worship were held, providing a space for spiritual reflection and devotion. Moreover, the organisation organised various activities for different age groups to demonstrate how the Christian faith is relevant to everyday life. By offering facilities for the local community, the charity created a sense of belonging and inclusivity, serving as a hub for social interactions and gatherings. Another vital aspect of their work involved visiting and supporting the elderly, sick individuals, and others in need, demonstrating their commitment to providing compassionate care. Furthermore, the charity extended its reach by offering support to individuals and groups engaged in ministering to the needs of others across different regions of the UK and abroad. Collectively, these endeavours exemplify the charity's unwavering dedication to its purpose, uplifting and benefiting the public it serves.. 

## **Structure, governance and management of the charity** 

## _**The methods used to recruit and appoint new charity trustees.**_ 

1. 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. 

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

## **Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 October 2023** 

## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities** 

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Notwithstanding the explicit requirement in the extant statutory regulations,the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the SORP 2005, in view of the fact that the SORP 2005 has been withdrawn, the Trustees determined to interpret this responsibility as requiring them to follow current best practice and prepare the accounts according to the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), . 

In particular, charity law requires the Trustees, if they prepare accounts on an accruals basis, to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Trustees are required to :- 

- to prepare the accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). 

- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; 

The law requires that the trustees must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for the year. 

The Trustees are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with regulations made under the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The Trustees are also responsible for the contents of the Trustees' report, and the statutory responsibility of the Independent Examiner in relation to the Trustees' report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that , on the face of the report, there are no material inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements. 

This report was approved by the board of trustees on ______________ 2024.

## **Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees of the charity on the accounts for the year ended 31 October 2023** 

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the charity on pages 8 to 29 for the year ended 31 October 2023 which have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) as modified by FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , and under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out on page 13. 

## **Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the Independent Examiner and the basis of the report** 

As described on page 5, you, the charity's Trustees, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and all other applicable law and with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, applicable to smaller entities, and for being satisfied that the financial statements give a true and fair view. 

The Trustees consider that the audit requirement of Section 144(1) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply, and that there is no requirement in the Governing Document for the conducting of an audit. As a consequence, the Trustees have elected that the financial statements be subject to independent examination. 

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements are not required to be audited under any legal provision, or otherwise, and are eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:- 

a) examine the financial statements of the charity under Section 145 of the Act; 

b) follow the applicable procedures in the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement and scope of work undertaken** 

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under s145 of the Act. In carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act setting out the duties of an independent examiner in relation to the conducting of an independent examination. An independent examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and of the accounting systems employed by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from you, as Trustees, concerning such matters. The purpose of the examination is to establish as far as possible that there have been no breaches of charity legislation and that, on a test basis of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures made, the financial statements comply with the SORP. 

The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and information supplied by the Trustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries and does not cover all the matters that an auditor would consider in arriving at an opinion. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide 

Consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements, and in particular, I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity, and my report is limited to the matters set out in the statement below. 

I planned and performed my examination so as to satisfy myself that the objectives of the independent examination are achieved and before finalising the report I obtained written assurances from the Trustees of all material matters.

## **Hope Church Wirral** 

## **Independent Examiner's Statement, Report and Opinion** 

Subject to the limitations upon the scope of my work as detailed above, I have completed my examination: and can confirm that:- 

This is a report in respect of an examination carried out under 145 of the Act and in accordance with Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act which may be applicable; 

and 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 charity as required by with Section 130 of The Charities Act 2011; 

the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

the financial statements 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; 

have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles set out in the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP). 

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 financial statements to be reached.

The accounts have been prepared on the accruals basis, under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) and 'FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , and in accordance with all applicable law in the charity's jurisdiction of registration, except that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2019, applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), in preference to the previous SORP, the SORP 2005, which has been withdrawn, notwithstanding the fact that the extant statutory regulations, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 refer explicitly to the SORP 2005. This has been done to accord with current best practice. 

## **Risks and future assumptions** 

The charity is a public benefit entity. 

## _**Policies relating to categories of income and income recognition.**_ 

## **Nature of income** 

Gross income represents the value, net of value added tax and discounts, of goods provided to customers and work carried out in respect of services provided to customers. 

## **Categories of Income** 

Income is categorised as income from exchange transactions (contract income) and income from non-exchange transactions (gifts), investment income and other income. 

Income from exchange transactions is received by the charity for goods or services supplied under contract or where entitlement is subject to fulfilling performance related conditions. The income the charity receives is approximately equal in value to the goods or services supplied by the charity to the purchaser. 

Income from a non-exchange transaction is where the charity receives value from the donor without providing equal value in exchange, and includes donations of money, goods and services freely given without giving equal value in exchange. 

## **Income recognition** 

Income, whether from exchange or non exchange transactions, is recognised in the statement of financial activities (SOFA) on a receivable basis, when a transaction or other event results in an increase in the charity’s assets or a reduction in its liabilities and only when the charity has legal entitlement, the income is probable and can be measured reliably. 

Dividends are accrued when the shareholder’s right to receive payment is established. 

Income subject to terms and conditions which must be met before the charity is entitled to the resources is not recognised until the conditions have been met. 

All income is accounted for gross, before deducting any related fees or costs.

## **Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 October 2023** 

## **Donated goods, facilities and services** 

Donated fixed assets are recognised at the current fair value. All such donations are recognised as donation income, and debited to fixed assets. 

Donated goods that are not fixed assets are accounted for at a fair value, unless it is impractical to reliably measure the value of the donated items. 

In the absence of any direct evidence of fair value of donated goods, then a value is derived from the cost of the item to the donor or, in the case of goods that are expected to be sold, the estimated resale value after deducting any anticipated costs of sales. 

If it is impracticable to measure the fair value of goods donated for resale, or the costs of valuation outweigh the benefits, the donated goods are recognised as income when sold, with an equivalent amount being recognised as an expense. 

The costs of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those goods upon receipt. When the goods are distributed freely or for a nominal consideration, then the carrying amount is adjusted at the time of sale, to the value at the point of distribution and the adjustment is shown as a cost of donations made. 

The carrying amount of any stock held for distribution is assessed for impairment at the reporting date. All donated goods are recognised as donation income, and debited to trading stock.When trading stock is subsequently sold, or appropriated to meet an expense, then the carrying value of the stock is recognised as an expense. In accordance with the SORP, goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries, or for consumption by the charity are included in _'legacies and donations_ '. Goods donated for resale are included in _'Income from other trading activities'_ 

The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt. If the goods held are to be distributed freely or for a nominal consideration, then the carrying amount is subsequently adjusted to reflect the lower of deemed cost adjusted for any loss of service potential and replacement cost. Replacement cost is the economic cost incurred if the charity was to replace the service potential of the donated goods at its own expense in the most economic manner. 

Donated services and facilities (including seconded staff and use of property) are included in the accounts on the basis of the value of the gift to the charity. 

All donated services and facilities are recognised as donation income when received,(provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably) and recognised as an expense with an equivalent value. 

## _**Policies relating to expenditure on goods and services provided to the charity.**_ 

## **Recognition of liabilities and expenditure** 

A liability, and the related expenditure, is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, and when it is more likely than not that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and when the amount of the obligation can be measured or reliably estimated.. 

Liabilities arising from future funding commitments and constructive obligations, including performance related grants, where the timing or the amount of the future expenditure required to settle the obligation are uncertain, give rise to a provision in the accounts, which is reviewed at the accounting year end. The provision is increased to reflect any increases in liabilities, and is decreased by the utilisation of any provision within the period, and reversed if any provision is no longer required. These movements are charged or credited to the respective funds and activities to which the provision relates. 

## **Volunteers** 

In accordance with the SORP, and in recognition of the difficulties in placing a monetary value on the contribution from volunteers, the contribution of volunteers is not included within the income of the charity. 

However, the trustees value the significant contribution made to the activities of the charity by unpaid volunteers and this is described more fully in Note5.

## **Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 October 2023** 

## _**Policies relating to assets, liabilities and provisions and other matters.**_ 

## **Pensions - defined contribution schemes** 

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions are charged to the profit and loss account as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme. 

## **Fund Accounting** 

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. 

Designated funds are unrestricted funds earmarked by the Trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal or as implied by law. 

There are no endowment funds. 

## **2 Liability to taxation** 

The Trustees consider that the charity satisfies the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by chapter 3 part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively on the specific charitable objects of the charity and for no other purpose. Value Added Tax is not recoverable by the charity, and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of Financial Activities. 

## **3 Winding up or dissolution of the charity** 

If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.

## **5 The contribution of volunteers** 

The charity depends on the support of its volunteers, which is much appreciated. The charity had over 40 Volunteers who donated in excess of 3000 hours of their time doing roles that helped the church fulfil its charitable objectives including running Sunday Services, Children’s work and outreach within our community. We have a number of specialist volunteers overseeing Safeguarding and Finanace Support. The arrangements with volunteers are difficult to value precisely in monetary terms and have not been recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities. The volunteers and the charity accept and agree that no contract of employment is created by these arrangements.
