Charity Registration Number : 1193988

Trustees Annual Report

Year Ending 31st December 2021

The trustees present their report and the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st December 2021.

Reference and administrative details:

Registered Charity Name : Kenilworth Baptist Church.

Charity Registration Number: 1193988 Principal Office: Farmer Ward Road Kenilworth Warwickshire CV8 2DH The Trustees: Mr David Shippam Mr Philip Thompson Church Administrator: Mrs Julia Young Church Auditor: Mr Peter Waterman 38 Canisland Park Park Mill Swansea SA3 2ED


Structure, governance and management.

The Pastor and Elders are the Charity trustees and they are responsible for the governance of the Church and the fulfilment of the purpose through it’s activities acting according to the will of God and the approval of the Church Members meeting where approval is needed. The Church’s organisational structure and the procedures for the appointment of the leadership are specified in the Church Constitution. This Constitution

was approved by the Church Meeting on 10/01/2021 and can only be altered by a resolution of a Special Church Members Meeting.

The Charity Trustees are aware of the need to examine the major financial, strategic and operational risks faced by the Church. We confirm that systems have been established so that necessary steps can be taken to manage and mitigate those risks.

It is the opinion of the Charity Trustees that there are sufficient reserves to maintain ongoing operations.

The Trustees have complied with the duty in section 17(5) of the 2011 Charities Act to have due regard to public benefit guidance published by the Charity Commission.


Objectives and activities.

The principal 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.


Achievements and Performance.

A Change of Name.

For many years, the Church was operating under the name of ‘Heart of England Revival Church, qualifying for Charitable status under the umbrella of ‘The Heart of England Baptist association and a member of The Baptist Union of England and Wales, however, without its own Charitable Status.

During the Covid lockdown, the Trustees reviewed where we felt the overall health of the Church was, and decided to revert the name of the Church back to ‘Kenilworth Baptist Church’ (which it had been from about 1860 before being changed to Heart of England Revival Church around 2000) and apply for ‘independent Charity status’.

One of the key reasons for this was we felt those who were not familiar with Church life, would probably recognise the denominational name of ‘Baptist Church’ whilst probably having less clear reference point for the term/name ‘Revival Church’, hopefully making the Church more accessible to them.

We also considered the area of Kenilworth where we are based which has a lot of historical elements to it, along with how people use search engines, and felt this would be the most beneficial name for the Charity.

During the time the Church was named ‘Heart of England revival Church’, it was still fundamentally a Baptist Church, but we discovered that those seeking a Baptist Church moving into the area, were of the opinion Kenilworth no longer had a Church of the Baptist denomination.

Hence, we are really pleased to report that as of 1/04/2021, Kenilworth Baptist Church was officially registered with the Charity commission, the Church membership having prayerfully considered the recommendation of the Trustees, voted to go ahead with the application.

Going as a Church through this, and other processes through such a challenging time through covid in 2020, when much of the preparation, consultation and consideration took place, really helped the Church members have some fresh focus and hope, making the most of online communication to achieve this.

The trustees are extremely grateful to the Church Membership for their tenacity, support and steadfastness through this period.

A new website.

Along with the change of name, a new website was launched which also enabled Church members to have a phone app linking to the site.

This has been a tremendous tool as we are able to add ‘teaching’ sessions to the site which is available to a much wider audience than just our own membership. An example of this is two marriage course videos placed on the site which have attracted around 300 views where as our actual attending membership is currently around 20 people.

This has helped re-shape how we see Church, that its impact can go far beyond the reach of its own four walls.

The website has also built into it the technology to form rotas and a dedicated area for members, so as the Church continues to grow and develop, we will be able to benefit from its possibilities for many years to come.

The Trustees thank HUBB.CHURCH for all its support and dedication to enable us to achieve this and make simple for Churches the operation of the website where local expertise is not always to hand.

We were also able to purchase a new web-site address www.kenilworthbaptist.church and new contact details within the new web-site forum.

New Signage.

Along with a change in name, new external signage was designed and installed.

An up-dated constitution.

The Trustees up-dated the constitution which was adopted by the Church membership at the time of registering the Church with the charity commission, to bring it more in line with ongoing changes in the life of the Church.

Building Up-grades.

The trustees seek with diligence to make the Church building as safe as possible for all of its users, complying with our extensive health and safety policy, along with other legal requirements. These include a 5 year full electrical inspection, along with carrying out all of its recommendations. This has really been expensive for the Church but through the generous donations from the membership and revenue through our ‘licence to use premises’, we have been able to comply with all regulations.

On top of this, we invested into led lighting throughout the building, installing of motion sensor’s in some areas at the aim of reducing running costs. At that time there was no public mention of the sharp increase of gas/electricity prices, so we are pleased we took the action we did.

Along with this, in line with insurance recommendations, we installed a fire proof letterbox and a new oil tank.

New flooring was also installed in many areas of the premises, again made possible by the kind donations of Church members.

The p/a system and lighting was also up-graded to more up-to date technology along with led stage lighting.

Extensive decorating has also been carried out and on-going general maintenance to the building in line with trustees responsibilities.

Safeguarding and First aid

Along with the Church name change and constitution up-date, the Trustees carried out a review of responsibilities towards safeguarding and first aid.

Safeguarding training was carried out by Heart of England Baptist association by all who work with Children and vulnerable adults in the Church and relevant certificates issued. Safeguarding information was also placed around the Church and a safeguarding video played at the Church AGM. Safeguarding officers were also appointed. First aid officers were also appointed and relevant training and certificates provided.

Threat of terrorism.

Without wanting to be alarmist, news reports had spoken of attacks on certain Churches during services sadly resulting in the death of a priest in one situation. Even though the trustees recognise the risk of attack is low we installed CCTV, encouraged general vigilance and issued Church members with the anti terrorism phone number to have at hand in the unlikely event of an attack.

Church Ministry.

Sunday morning services continue to develop and are designed to bring people together to worship, pray, have a good time together and be taught The Word of God. The Church strap line is ‘Doing Life God’s Way’ and we seek to help make Biblical Truths relevant to peoples every day lives.

Along with this we have a weekly prayer meeting, including praying for issues in our community, and for people in need.

The Children’s and young peoples group continues to develop on a Sunday morning.

Three WhatsApp groups have also been developed to encourage communication and friendship. One is a general Chat group (KBC Group Chat) one is a prayer request group (KBC Prayer) and one is for everyday encouragement from the Bible called PDS Truth.

The Church provides a space for people to come and develop relationships in a safe environment.

The development of further ministry into the community is something we are seeking to develop but is down to both people, time and financial resource, whilst also recognising individuals gifting and skill sets.


Financial Review.

Income for the year amounted to £78,162 (2020: £84,369) and expenditure £80,343 (2020: £81,066). The year end unrestricted fund balance was £32,940.


Going Concern.

After making appropriate enquiries, the Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.


Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities.

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ report and the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and applicable law and regulations.

The law applicable to charities require the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to :

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the applicable Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations, and the provisions of the constitution. The Trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud or and other irregularities.

The annual report was approved by the Trustees of the charity on 15th September 2022 and signed on its behalf by:

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

The Trustees are responsible for the integrity and accuracy of the financial statements. The Trustees believe that the financial statement for the year ended 31[st] December 2021 has been prepared in conformity with general accepted accounting principles appropriate in the circumstances. In preparing the financial statements, the Trustees make informed judgements and estimates where necessary to reflect the expected effects of events and transactions that have not been completed.

In meeting their responsibility for the reliability of the financial statements, the Trustees rely on a system of internal accounting control. This system is designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and transactions are executed in accordance with the Trustee's authorisation and recorded properly to permit the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The design of this system recognises that errors and irregularities may occur and that estimates and judgements are required to assess the relative cost and expected benefits of the controls. The Trustees believe that the accounting controls provide reasonable assurance that errors or irregularities that could be material to the financial statements are prevented or would be detected within a timely period.

The independent auditor is engaged to express an opinion on the financial statements. The opinion is based on procedures, which are believed to be sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements contain no material errors.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR

I have audited the accounts on pages 2 to 5 and I am satisfied that they have been drawn up in accordance with the bank statements, invoices and receipts produced to me and are consistent with the explanations supplied by the Treasurer and Trustees of Kenilworth Baptist Church.
