The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of 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 (FRS102) published in October 2019. The name of the church is Windsor Baptist Church. As of 1 April 2022 the church became a Charitable Incorporated Organisation. The Church Meeting is the ultimate decision-making body guiding the affairs of the church. Church Meetings normally take place four times per year. Members of the congregation and other invited guests are welcome to attend and participate, but only Members can vote. The church’s membership is established by inviting people to reaffirm their membership at, or around, the time of the Covenant Membership Service. This year the Covenant Membership service was held on 25 September. On that day (or shortly after) 41 people began or reaffirmed their membership. Therefore the church’s membership stands at 41. Church Members appoint the Charity Trustees. This comprises Deacons, the Minister, Church Secretaries, Treasurer and any other Officers. The Trustees, collectively known as the Diaconate, are responsible for the dayto-day running of the church’s work and witness, and for the financial and legal aspects of the charity. The Church occupies premises that are held in trust by the Baptist Union Corporation Ltd. This year’s **AGM** took place on Sunday 17 July 2022 comprising the election of deacons and offers, and the receiving of annual accounts. ## **Objects and Activities** The charitable purpose of the Church is the advancement of the Christian faith according to the principles of the Baptist denomination. The Church may also advance education and carry out other charitable purposes in the United Kingdom and/or other parts of the world. In fulfilling its purpose, the Church engages in a range of activities, both on its own and with others, aimed at showing the love of Jesus Christ in word and deed and at bringing people into a closer relationship with him as living Lord. These activities include: - regular public worship, prayer, Bible study, preaching and teaching - welcome, inclusion and teaching of children and young people - giving and encouraging pastoral care - a weekday Café - supporting and encouraging charitable social action, both in the UK and abroad - engaging with other Christian churches - making our premises available for a wide range of community purposes. A few years ago the church members agreed upon four core values that should remain at the heart of the vision of the church and all its activities – Community, Inclusive, Creative, Family. These values are displayed on four large banners in the church, and provide ongoing inspiration to the members of the church community. ## **Public beneft** In deciding what activities the charity should undertake the Trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. The Church's worship services are open to all, now both in person and on Zoom concurrently. The church premises are generally widely used by organisations seeking to serve Windsor and the surrounding area in different ways. ## **Overview of the year** - The impact of the **Covid 19 Pandemic** receded throughout the year and there was a growing sense of freedom in what we were able to do, whilst always trying to respect one another’s differing needs and approaches to post-pandemic life. We continued to practice good hygiene and allow each other space, whilst stepping back when testing positive for Covid, even though vaccines and immunity meant it was not proving such a threat. - The church continues to be rooted in its four core values of Community, Inclusive, Creative and Family. - The church employs a full time minister, Kat and a part-time Community Manager, Kate. To run the café, the church employs a part-time Café Manager, part-time Café Assistant (with an outside grant to fund the post). In April the Community Manager gracious offered to reduce her hours by 50% (15 hours to 7.5 hours) in order to release money to hire an Assistant Manager for the café, to cope with increased demand. To help maintain the church building, the church employs a part-time cleaner. ## **Achievements and performance** Among significant activities and developments: - We began the year with a **baptism** on Easter Sunday, which was a great celebration. - Even though in-person services were now the norm, we decided we would continue to offer Zoom, thus providing **hybrid services** . This enabled people who were unwell or unable to be present in person for other reasons, to join in the service. - The **Tree House Café** has continued to thrive, providing a friendly, busy and inclusive café experience, primarily for young families but for others as well. The church took on a young man with additional needs to work in the café part-time, funded by an external ‘back to work’ grant. This person grew in confidence and ability. The funding had been provided for one year, but towards the end of the year it was agreed to seek a 6 month extension to the funding, which was granted, in order to help this person transition more easily to a new job. The church also took on an Assistant Manager for the Café, who has supported the manager very ably. The Café manager has continued to create a warm and nurturing environment, which has helped the church to fulfil its desire to serve the community and provide a great space for it. - With Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the town of Windsor became home to a good number of **Ukrainian refugees** settling here under the government’s ‘Homes for Ukraine’ scheme. The church worked in partnership with other members of the community, particularly a network that became known as ‘Safeplaces’, which was supporting Ukrainians in Windsor and the surrounding area. The church quickly became a strong base for Ukrainian community activities in Windsor. Two weekly groups were established – one on a Tuesday afternoon, after-school – a family session providing safety and support, and an opportunity for children to develop their English in a fun and participatory way. This group has become a great success, drawing together church volunteers with other people of good will from the community, including artists and bakers, and people skilled in early years. The group has been vibrant and high quality, thanks largely to Kate the Community Manager and Lindsey, a Deacon, who have taken the lead. The second weekly group takes place on a Friday afternoon, and is an informal drop-in for adults, whilst children are at school, with occasional craft activities. The church hosted a very popular Ukrainian Independence Day event in August, and an Ukrainian Christmas Fayre in November, both of which attracted large numbers of people. For a few months, the church was able to host English lessons for Ukrainians, but eventually moved on from this, as the local college was providing them very well. The minister, Kat, became a UK host and welcomed a Ukrainian refugee into the Manse loft, which has proved a wonderful experience for all the family. - In January, the church decided to try something different on the First Sunday of each month, calling it **First Sunday Brunch** . These services began with coffee and conversation, followed by a brief talk, prayer and reflection, which were translated into Ukrainian by a member of the Ukrainian community, Nastya, who had good English. After half an hour, Brunch is served and people eat and share together. These Brunch services have become very popular and a wonderful community experience. - The church continued to work with **various groups** that use the building, particularly Blossoms Ballet/Hawthorne School of Dance and Showstoppers, enjoying a fruitful and valuable relationship with them. We continued to welcome the DASH group which supports those experiencing domestic abuse. Rock Choir returned to their usual Tuesday sessions. The church has continued to benefit from its Community Manager, Kate, whose gifts at developing and nurturing community are significant. - With the departure of Andrew, the church treasurer, who moved house along with his wife Elaine, the Designated Person for Safeguarding, the church was delighted by the kind offer of Richard Saunders to become the Finance Manager. Richard’s skills and gifting were perfect for this role, and he combines professionalism with a strong sense of vision for the church and the café. Richard had served as deacon for a long time, and it was agreed that his role of finance manager need not include being a deacon, so the church asked Juliana Bonilha if she would be Trustee Treasurer, as she had the necessary gifts and experience, along with being a strong part of the church community, and were delighted when she agreed. Richard and Juliana work together on the church finances, with Richard taking oversight and the lion’s share. - With the departure of Elaine, the Designated Person for **Safeguarding** , who moved house along with her husband Andrew, the Treasurer, the church appointed Lindsey Livingstone to be the Designated Person for Safeguarding. Lindsey is skilled and sensitive in matters of safeguarding, and the church is grateful to her. Lindsey and Kat reviewed and updated the Safeguarding Procedures soon after Lindsey’s appointment. - The church has continued to be a publicly affirming church of the **LGBTQ+ community** , and began to make plans to mark Pride. - **Youth Club** returned to in-person meetings, with a lovely group of 1015 year olds meeting once a month on a Sunday evening. In October they took part in the Windsor Homeless Project’s annual sleep-out, by sleeping in the manse garden, supervised by Kat and Tina. This was a wonderful evening and raised hundreds of pounds. - The **Monday Group** (a prayer and Bible study group) led by Sue continued to meet weekly, offering participants a weekly opportunity for prayer and Bible study. - **Soul Stillness** – a fortnightly prayer and meditation session led by Sally – took a little break due to Sally’s other commitments, with plans to reconvene in 2024. - The church marked and support **Christian Aid** week, with a Brunch service in May. - The church took part in **Windsor Fringe Festival** as it has done in previous years, doing a ‘Library of Life’, where people get to have oneto-one conversations with a variety of people with different life experiences. We hosted a ‘Wonderdome’, which provided an experience of space in a dome constructed in the church for the morning. And our local PCSO, Dave Bullock, did an excellent talk about Jack the Ripper. These three Fringe events were popular and great opportunities to engage with the wider community. - The minister has regularly attended online **ministers’ meetings** with other clergy from Windsor town centre as well as the local Baptist minister’s cluster. She was not able to attend the Southern Counties Baptist Association’s Leaders Conference this year, but did attend Greenbelt, which was, as usual, a great source of inspiration to her. Kat was asked to co-lead a ‘Kind and Gentle Spaces’ session run by the local Baptist Association, giving Baptist Church ministers the space to think through issues of LGBTQ+ inclusion. - On 5 June the church held an all-age **Jubilee service** , to mark the Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II, and many members went on to the Long Walk, near the Castle, to join in a huge picnic. - On the 30 October the church held a **Light Party** , for local children, including Ukrainian children – this was great fun and very popular. - The usual **Christmas services** were slightly different this year as the final of the football World Cup took place on the evening we had planned to do a carol service. We decided to embrace the event, and held a ‘Football, Beer and Carols’ session instead! A Crib service and a Christmas Day service were held the following week. - On 28 January the Deacons had a wonderful morning **retreat** at Burnham Abbey, discussing the church’s vision and plans for the upcoming year. - On 12 March the adopted son of a church member was brought by his mother for **blessing and dedication,** with a large number of guests, which was a great occasion, and on 18 March the son of two church members’ was married at the church in a small ceremony. - For two months in January and February, Kat was one of three local leaders running a **warm hub** , for the homeless community and anyone else who wanted to come, on three evenings a week at the local URC church, with other church members coming to volunteer. The church was glad to be part of this national initiative, designed to help people in the coldest months, with energy prices unusually high. The Church does not measure the success of its programmes only in numbers and finances, but also in less tangible areas like fellowship, encouragement and spiritual growth and how, individually and collectively, members show the love of Jesus Christ in daily life. ## **Future Plans** With the success of First Sunday Brunch, In 2023/24 the church is planning to continue to experiment with the pattern of Sunday worship, with a different emphasis on each Sunday of the month. The church will continue to support the Ukrainian community and will be pressing on with community kitchen endeavours. The Deacons will be continuing to maximise the wonderful opportunities available to us in the short-term, whilst keeping alert to the changing nature of church life, generally, in this post Covid era, and developing the necessary flexibility to adapt to new and creative ways of being church in the medium-long term. ## **Financial Review** Please see Appendix 1 for the church’s financial overview and audited report. ## **Risk management** The Deacons have assessed the major risks facing the church and put plans in place to mitigate these risks. These plans are kept under regular review. This report was approved by the Church Meeting at its church meeting on 24 September 2023, and signed on its behalf by Revd Kat Bracewell Ms Juliana Bonilha Minister Church Treasurer ## **Appendix 1: Financial report** The final report of the accounts was prepared by Richardson Jones Chartered Accountants and is given below.
