**KETTERING VINEYARD – CHARITY REGISTRATION NO 1193954** Ket
Charity Commission Annual Report 2022-2023
Kettering Vineyard is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), established 09/03/2021 to advance the Christian religion for the public benefit in accordance with the Vineyard Statement of Faith referred to in our constitution. We exist to organise and provide Christian worship, to provide facilities and service to enable the church to fulfil its mission to the members of the church, visitors to the church and to the local and wider community. We also exist to provide facilities for Christian training and service, evangelism and outreach and assistance to the wider Christian church in its ministries.
## **Introduction**
This report covers the period 01/04/2022 – 31/03/2023. It outlines the activities of the Charity Kettering Vineyard during this period and reflects on how these activities meet the objectives of the charity, the income, outgoings, financial procedures including savings policy, and the sustainability of the organisation. The report is intended to provide accountability to stakeholders, including donors, financial supporters, service users and beneficiaries and is designed to be publicly available on the Charities Commission Website (https://register-of-
- - - charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity search/ /charity details/ 5178072). It was approved by the Trustees on 18/01/2024 and is signed by David Roberts, senior pastor and chair of the trustees. The Trustees are aware of the Charity Commission’s requirement to follow their Guidance on Public Benefit.
## **Administrative Details**
Kettering Vineyard’s principal office is:
The Peace House, 12 Sulgrave St, Barton Seagrave, Kettering
The Trustees in post during the reporting period were: Dr David Roberts (Chair and Senior Pastor) Russell Kaye John White Hilary Procter
Secretary to the Trustees: Elaine Roberts (Senior Pastor)
## **Provision of Christian Worship and services**
During the accounting year, no changes were made to the structure, legal purposes or objectives of the charity (outlined above). At the beginning of the financial year, we were meeting for worship and Christian fellowship on alternate Sundays. During the year we moved to weekly meetings, established a space to rent in the vacant shop of another charity (Hope UK), and also held additional meetings for worship, training, and service to
1
**KETTERING VINEYARD – CHARITY REGISTRATION NO 1193954** Ket Charity Commission Annual Report 2022-2023
the local community, both at Hope UK, and in local homes in the community. We have maintained a website (https://www.ketteringvineyard.church), where details of our activities can be found. We have a number of people who volunteer within the church to provide hospitality, music for worship, preaching and teaching and hosting home groups.
## **Provision of Services to the Community and the Wider Church**
We undertook a project clearing the gardens at a local school, and erecting gazebos in support of their sports day. We provided refreshments for a local community association programme during the late Queen’s Jubilee and other events. We actively supported the local Churches Together organisation and have attended local prayer gatherings in person and on Zoom. Members of our church served with the local Foodbank, Street Pastors, Refugee Assistance and a charity working with homeless people (Accommodation Concern). We set up a walk-in café (Lighthouse) with free refreshments on occasional Saturday mornings, offering a space for people to chat, and make friends. We donated our December offerings to Accommodation Concern (£400) plus donations of toiletries and gifts to be passed on to vulnerable and marginalised people.
## **Governance**
We developed a five-year Vision and Plan, and a “Code of Conduct” for leaders and trustees. We have held Trustees meetings every 3-4 months, providing reports on our activities and finances and working with the trustees to develop robust governance policies, such as safeguarding, financial probity, complaints, conflict of interest. There were no changes to our trustees during this period. We have ensured that all our trustees have an annual update and review of safeguarding. We had a number of safeguarding issues that we needed to monitor closely and produce agreements with individuals about behaviours that were or were not acceptable. There will be changes to the trustees in the year ahead, as individuals come to the end of their period of office and new trustees are recruited. We maintain a safe, GDPR approved database (ChurchSuite) of our attendees, and keep them updated regularly by Email and WhatsApp messages.
## **Training and Service**
We have held regular training sessions with our core team of leaders, who have also engaged with national training and conferences. We have invested in professional leadership training for leaders within the church, including Gallup Strengths Finder, providing insights and skills that are useful for their roles in work and other areas of community life. We have

**KETTERING VINEYARD – CHARITY REGISTRATION NO 1193954** Ket
Charity Commission Annual Report 2022-2023
provided training for the wider congregation in prayer, serving and hearing God’s voice.
Our church life provides opportunity for people to volunteer and get involved. Commitment is variable, leading to some fragility in the services we are able to offer. While some people are very engaged, others show up rarely, and can leave us in the lurch at short notice. Generally, however, we have met our objectives as far as we have been able within our resources. We have provided a space where people feel welcome and cared for. Generosity is one of our high values and we do not charge people for any of our services or hospitality.
## **Financial Summary**
This section should be read in conjunction with the annual financial report to the Charities Commission. Our income is almost entirely from donations from church attenders. We did not spend any money on fundraising and did not receive any grants from any other bodies. Our income rose by 50% from £23,000 in the previous year to £34,500 in the year to 31/03/2023. Our expenditure also rose by 50% from £12,700 to £19,200. The main items of expenditure are on rental, hospitality, compliance subscriptions and training. We also gave more than 10% of our income away. There are no paid members of staff of the charity at this time. Our assets were valued at £6,300. The improved financial position meant we were able to put aside savings of £15,000 (total at year end £20,000) which provides a buffer of at least 6 months for predicted expenses, as well as a significant saving towards the costs of developing future services including recruitment of staff with on costs. At the end of the year we were projecting a drop in our income over the year ahead and drew up a realistic budget which expected stable outgoings and the plan to increase our savings/reserves to £34,000.
