March **2012** **TAR** 3 ## Section D Achievements and performance |**Summary of the main**
**achievements of the charity**
**during the year**|The most significant event in 2022 was the retirement of our Pastor, Phil
Cox. His ministry here concluded at the end of June;
With Phil’s retirement, a Minister Search Team (MST) was formed with the
intention of following a process encouraged by the Baptist Union.
With the departure of our Pastor, we are at the early stages of co-
ordinating the pastoral support of the congregation.

Several people visit or ‘phone other members and friends
and the Life and House groups obviously provide pastoral
support.
Our church programme continues.

The monthly church prayer meeting moved from a
Tuesday evening to a Tuesday morning, while the remaining
Tuesday mornings continue their Praise and Worship focus.
Study and fellowship groups meet morning or evening; some
have chosen to call themselves ‘Life Groups’, reflecting our
own lives shared with God’s.

Attendance at_Messy Church_fluctuates between holiday
times and term time. During the latter there is an average of
18-20 children present plus a similar number of adults, while
the former sees slightly higher numbers. The Foodies Team
provide marvellous meals and the Activity Team help in all
directions from setting up tables and assisting with the Craft
Team who are amazingly creative. Themes have been Fishers
of Men, Zacchaeus, Harvest, Jesus the Light of the World,
Nehemiah, Creation, The Storm, and the Parable of the
Sower.

Coffee and Cake regularly has between 16 and 24
people attending, it is a good atmosphere with lots of
chatting and laughing. For several months now we have
been having toasted fruit bread, muffins and crumpets as
well as homemade cakes. The toasted items have
proved very popular just like the cakes.

A new feature of our church programme was the
introduction of monthly_Snack ‘n’ Chat_, a response to the
‘cost-of-living crisis’, in which with the other Stubbington
churches, we joined the ‘Warm Spaces’ initiative.

Involvement with Churches Together in Stubbington
continued with support for Good Friday and Remembrance
Sunday on Stubbington Green, and the Week of Prayer for
Christian Unity.
Organisations we support include Baptist Missionary Society, Home
Mission, Missionary Aviation Fellowship, Open Doors, Bible Society and
Christian Concern, as well as Tearfund, Operation Agri and Barnabas
Fund. Financial and prayer support continue, and we have had visiting
speakers from some of the above on occasional Sundays. This period
without a minister will possibly allow more opportunity for such visits on
some Sundays.| |---|---| March **2012** **TAR** 4 Section D Achievements and performance Our premises are enjoyed and appreciated by the many who use them. National Childbirth Trust had more than 40 bookings this year which brought nearly £3,000 into church funds. Other regular bookings include Pilates, a couple of Women’s Institutes, Friends thru Pain, U3A’s Ukulele, Gardening and social events, occasional children’s parties, and more recently an NHS Pain Clinic. We are so grateful to the many who serve us in administration, care of premises, catering, music provision or technical support, cleaning, welcoming, preparing of rooms, leading of worship, preaching and children’s and families’ work. ## **Section E Financial review** Cash at bank at 31/12/2022 was £59,127.07 in unrestricted funds. The main financial risk to the charity is loss / reduction of donations and giving from church members and attenders. The funds are held to cover 6 months operational costs in the event of a loss of income and to meet any unforeseen expenditure that might occur. The church is also actively seeking a new minister which could involve housing costs, either mortgage or rental. **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves Details of any funds materially** Not applicable **in deficit** ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. The primary source of funds is giving from the church members which includes Gift Aid. This is from planned giving, collections at Church services and donations. The church also hires out the use of various rooms for various groups. Examples include the local WI, Royal British Legion and NCT. ## Highlights of the report were: - the £10,500 increase in the church’s Business Reserve - account during the year, bringing its total to just over £59,000  the difference between the income and expenditure figures, that had added £3,260 to the current account and allowed the £10,500 transfer to the reserve account. - our gift of £1,000 to Tear Fund from our Harvest Appeal - the full use of the £8,000 allowance for Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme, after researching HMRC’s definition of small donations. - our missionary giving, which had included £1,600 to the - DEC Ukraine appeal in March 2022 and financial support to 11 Christian organisations (a review of the charities we support has been suggested and it is likely that, in future, we will support a smaller number of charities with larger sums of money) - proposed expenditure, which will include our usual 10% of - the past year’s income (£7,400) for missionary giving, as well as a number of replacement/refurbishment projects that include technology items such as the camera and the Minister’s office PC, and upgrades to room 3 and the Minister’s office. ## **Section F Other optional information** March **2012** **TAR** 5 ## **Section G Declaration** **The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.** **Signed on behalf of the charity’s trustees** > **Signature(s)** Dianne Woodhouse **Full name(s)** Dianne Woodhouse **Position (eg Secretary, Chair,** Secretary **etc) Date** 10th October 2023 March **2012** **TAR** 6 ## **Stubbington Baptist Church** Jay Close Stubbington Fareham PO14 3TA Financial Statements for the year ended 31[st] December 2022 Registered Charity number: 1193362 Bank: National Westminster Bank Plc 52 West St. Fareham PO16 0JX Independent Examiner Graham Brown Hideaway 2b Hill Croft Fareham PO15 5ES |**Financial Statement**|**Financial Statement**|**Financial Statement**|**Financial Statement**|**Financial Statement**| |---|---|---|---|---| |**Stubbington Baptist Church - Business Reserve Account**||||| |**For the year ended 31 December 2022**||||| |Date|**Transac**
