ANNUAL REPORT 1 APRIL 2023 – 31 MARCH 2024

Structure, Governance and Management

The Trustees are pleased to present their Annual Report and Financial Statements from 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024. 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 and it is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation.

The Church Meeting is the ultimate decision-making body guiding the affairs of the church. Church Meetings take place at least 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 24 September 2023. 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 day-to-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 11 June 2023 comprising the election of deacons and offers, and the receiving of annual accounts and the annual report.

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 benefit

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 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, a part-time Assistant Café Manager, a part-time Café Assistant (with an outside grant to fund the post). To help maintain the church building, the church employs a part-time cleaner.

Achievements and performance

Among significant activities and developments:

• Sunday services further developed a creative pattern, with each Sunday of the month having a different emphasis: First Sunday Brunch – a short service translated into Ukrainian, followed by a cooked breakfast together; Second Sunday Stillness – a quieter, more reflective service including communion; Third Sunday Groups – church in smaller groups; Fourth Sunday Celebration – a more lively service; Fifth Sunday Community – a service where everyone attending is invited to contribute, with a thought, prayer, testimony, poem or other.

• With the new pattern of Sunday services, Third Sunday Groups has been the newest and most creative endeavour. The idea was discussed at church meeting and agreed to trial for four months starting in October. The aim was to increase everyone’s sense of belonging and participating, reframing people’s experience of church worship. The four groups have been Walking, Talking, Jamming and Drinking , so one group goes for a walk (led by Gwyn and Sally), another group meets in church for café church and conversation (led by Kat), one group plays and sings worship songs together (led by Rich and Dave) and one group goes to the pub for a pub theology session (led by Andy L). The walking and drinking groups listen to a podcast in advance of the gathering, in order to discuss it together. The podcasts chosen have been ‘The Universal Christ’ by Richard Rohr. In February the church meeting reviewed this endeavour and expressed value and appreciation for it, feeling that relationships were forming well and people were engaging in new ways. It was decided to continue this for a further year.

• The church continued to offer the option to join in the service by 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 continues to be a hive of activity, providing a friendly, busy and inclusive café experience, primarily for young families but for others as well. The church continued to have a young man with additional needs working in the café part-time, funded by an external ‘back to work’ grant. In October, the funding for this person came to an end and he continued to offer some voluntary work whilst also exploring paid work elsewhere. The Café manager and Assistant Café Manager continued to do a wonderful job, creating 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, and we have continued to be blessed by some great volunteers.

• The church continued to support Ukrainian refugees who had settled in Windsor under the government’s ‘Homes for Ukraine’ scheme. We continued to work with a network called ‘Safeplaces’, which was supporting Ukrainians in Windsor and the surrounding area. As well as First Sunday Brunch, the church continued two weekly groups - 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 wonderful, warm and well established gathering, where relationships have formed and developed. Kate, Rich and Lindsey have done a brilliant job of keeping high quality opportunities for play-based learning, and have continued to benefit greatly from some very skilled volunteers who have come our way through Lindsey’s other role, supporting children’s reading in schools. The second weekly group has continued to take place on a Friday afternoon, and is an informal drop-in for adults, whilst children are at school. This group began to dwindle a little, as the refugees became more established with their own working lives, but over the winter a new endeavour was started, making trench candles to be sent to the front line in Ukraine. This became quite a significant operation, involving lots of people and time, and it was

great to be able to support the Ukrainian community in this way. The church also hosted an Ukrainian Christmas Fayre in November. The minister, Kat, continued to host a Ukrainian refugee in the Manse loft, and in October, this young woman was joined by her sister, who also made her home in the manse family.

• The community manager, Kate, has devoted time, skill and energy in developing a Community Kitchen in the back kitchen at church. Small groups of people have come together to learn cooking skills in a supportive environment. This has been very successful and has highlighted both a need and a desire to develop this further.

• 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.

• The church has continued to by blessed by the skills of Richard, the Finance Manager . Juliana is the official Treasurer deacon, bringing her skills in accountancy to the role, but Richard has overall oversight of the finances, and works tirelessly on the church’s behalf.

• Lindsey continued to be the Designated Person for Safeguarding , and has held the role gently and capably, with no major safeguarding incidents occurring through the year.

• The church has continued to be a publicly affirming church of the LGBTQ+ community , and in June it was delighted to host a Pride Soiree. This was a lovely event, well attended, and we enjoyed a speaker called Ally Tomlinson, who gave a great talk entitled ‘The History of Pride in the UK’. Drinks, canapes and cake were shared and a lovely evening had by all.

• Youth Club continued with 8 young people aged 9-15. The frequency was increased to once every three weeks instead of once a month, on a Sunday evening. Once again the group took part in the Windsor Homeless Project’s annual sleep-out in September, by sleeping on the floor in the church building. 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.

• The church marked and support Christian Aid week, with a Brunch service in May.

• The church took part in Windsor Fringe Festival hosting a homeless exhibition and an afternoon tea party, both of which went really well. It was decided to have a break this year from doing a ‘Library of Life’, with plans to do another in 2024.

• The minister has regularly attended online ministers’ meetings with other clergy from Windsor town centre as well as the local Baptist minister’s cluster. In February she was present for one morning at the Southern Counties Baptist Association’s Leaders Conference and again attended Greenbelt, which was its usual inspiring and wonderful space. Kat was asked to co-lead another ‘Kind and Gentle Spaces’ session run by the

local Baptist Association, for another local Baptist Church, giving the members there the space to think through issues of LGBTQ+ inclusion.

• On the 31 October the church held a Light Party as part of the Ukrainian after school group, which was great fun.

• Kat led wedding blessings in August at a local hotel and in September at another venue, and went to another church in Ashby-de-la-Zouch to officiate at the wedding of a former church member. She also led a funeral in June.

• In October, a new Repair Café began. This took place on the third Saturday of the month in the main church, established by Kat and a man named Chris from the local Rotary Club. Skilled volunteers were brought in to repair broken household objects, reducing the number of items going into landfill. This has been a wonderful new activity that the church has been pleased to play an important role in. Kat has provided café facilities, aided by several young people who have wanted to volunteer (some doing Duke of Edinburgh) and learn barista skills.

• The Christmas services included a carol service and scratch nativity, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year’s Eve services. The church also took on one of the Windsor Living Advent’s evenings, with Mairi the Showstoppers leader presenting a wonderful Christmas singalong.

• On 14 January, we were delighted to have the baptism of Sarah, which was a wonderful celebration.

• On 27 January the Deacons had another morning retreat, this time at Yeldall Rehab Centre, discussing the church’s vision and plans for the upcoming year.

• For two months in January and February, Kat was again one of four local leaders running a warm hub , for the homeless community and anyone else who wanted to come, on three evenings a week at the newly established Alma Beacon – a new base for Windsor Christian Action and its projects.

• Easter was marked with a service on Maundy Thursday, a labyrinth and children’s activity on Good Friday and an all-age celebration which included some Ukrainian traditions such as blessing the bread and Ukrainian dancing.

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

The church will continue in 2024/25 to explore creative worship on Sundays, with different experiences on different Sundays of the month.

The Tree House Café will celebrate its 10[th] birthday in November 2024, which will be duly marked.

A volunteer coordinator will be sought, to come alongside people who can both give to and receive from the church/café’s nurturing environment and opportunities.

The Community Kitchen will be developed, with external funding sought.

The church will continue to support the Ukrainian community, journeying with them as their longer-term future becomes clearer.

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 separate accounts below 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 AGM on Sunday 23 June 2024,
