Bay Church (Torbay)
Annual Report
for the period ended 30 June 2024
Aim and Purpose
The Bay Church trustees (the CIO) have the responsibility of cooperating with the Incumbent, the Reverend Matt Bray, in promoting across the Torbay area, the whole mission of the Church – pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. As well as the Church itself, which is a Grade II Listed Building, the CIO is also responsible for maintaining the Church Hall. The CIO leases the church from the benefice of Paignton Parish and the church hall from the PCC.
The object of the CIO is to advance the Christian faith for the benefit of the public living in Torbay in accordance with the tenets of the Church of England and in accordance with the statements of belief appearing in the schedule. The vision of Bay Church is to see Jesus loved, the Church alive and society transformed in Torbay and beyond. We aim to build a thriving and sustainable church which contributes to the Diocesan vision to grow in prayer, make new disciples and serve the people of the Devon with joy.
Objectives and Activities
The CIO is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our Church, and to become part of our church family. When planning our activities, the CIO has considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit, and in particular the specific guidance to charities for the advancement of religion. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer, worship and scripture. We try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our church family, to see:
-
Jesus Loved: We believe that Jesus transforms lives, and our heart is to see people come to know and experience that life changing relationship with Jesus.
-
The Church Alive: We know that healthy things grow, and so we want to see churches alive and thriving, growing in number and in depth, and
-
Society Transformed: We want to see a more fair and just society; where the lonely are loved, the homeless housed, and the addicted set free.
To facilitate this work, it is vital that we maintain the fabric of both the Church and the Hall.
Achievements and performance
Worship and Prayer
We have continued to grow as a church numerically, with those who call Bay Church their home, but Sunday Attendance growth plateaued due to lack of space to grow into, which saw a drop in ‘regular attendance’. Proportionally, however, we are really pleased with the make-up of the congregation with the anticipated 40% of young families and young adults and tracking at 50% of the anticipated ratio of un-churched or de-churched members. People continue to find Bay Church a safe space to explore or reexplore their faith.
A year ago we launched an all-age service called THE FOUR which has struggled to gain the momentum that we had hoped. The decision was made to shift strategy and run this once a month, rather than every week to help promote regular attendance from our core members to provide a base on which to build upon.

Docusign Envelope ID: 07AAB0E8-EC8A-409E-AF17-4A21C655D912
We regularly start a new term with a focused few days on prayer, mostly led by our lay volunteers and keen prayers.
Deanery Synod
Bay Church is a member of Torbay Deanery Synod and will nominate members of the CIO to sit on the Deanery Synod. This provides the CIO with a link with the churches around us, and also with the Diocese as a whole. It also receives reports from the General Synod.
Church Fabric
Refurbishments are finally well underway having only previously had the church roof. Since the last report we’ve received faculty consent and had the church equipped with new electrics and air source heating, running water and drainage for our servery, and new toilets and accessibility measures are underway. The hall (with additional funding received from church commissioners since our last report) is currently having its roof restored, electrics rewired, and toilets refreshed with dramatic accessibility changes awaiting planning consent.
Mission and Evangelism
Thanks to the £10,000 National Lottery grant we were able to set up Bay Tots (a free weekly baby and toddler group) early in the Bay Church journey. This has continued to grow seeing over 100 people coming through the doors each week across all age groups. It is becoming known across the area as one of the best offerings for parents/carers and their little ones.
We continue to run the Alpha course as an accessible model of evangelism. Each term we encourage the church to invite friends and family to try Alpha and to explore the big questions of life, faith and meaning. We have seen guests double on last year and we are doing so without a high turnover over of volunteers to run alpha. Instead, we have a small, committed team serving term by term with a passion for helping guests on their faith journeys. We have also seen this of social action involvement, with a small crew volunteering for all the programs.
Just like last year, through funding and support from Love Christmas we have partnered with churches across the UK to deliver hundreds of 'bags of kindness' at Christmas time to families across our local community.
Events are continuing to thrive with our ‘Spectaculars’ telling the Easter and Christmas stories to 200+ guests per showing with multiple showings across the day. We have also seen a huge increase in attendance numbers from last year at our other big events such as our Light Parties, Christmas Family Markets and Crib services. Our reputation for these events continues to grow and that is evident in the figures.
Group and Crew Involvement
Every other week people from the congregation gather in smaller groups in homes across the area. Group growth is holding steady and on target with our own metrics, with slightly more engaged in groups despite the drop in the number of groups available. As the result of a few pastoral issues over the last year there have been some changes to groups, with some groups closing and new ones being set up. We have also seen a lack of confidence in people we consider ready to lead these groups, which has stalled our training of new leaders and the starting of new groups, but they continue to be a place where people can find belonging and grow in their journeys of faith.

Our Crews are the teams of volunteers that serve every area in the life of the Church. Worship & Production, Home (Hospitality), Prayer, Kids, Youth and Bless the Bay. Crews meet twice a term for training and encouragement, and they serve throughout the week in various events and services.
Financial Review
The total unrestricted income for the year was £165,832 (2023: £120,068) of which £133,940 (2023: £115,682) was donations. The £714,386 (2023: £366,566) of restricted income includes £600,114 (2023: £343,366) of Strategic Development Fund income from the Archbishops’ Council. £811,313 (2023: £325,538) was spent to provide Christian ministry at Bay Church. The amount also includes £473,577 spent on major improvements to the church and hall buildings, of which £468,147 was funded through the Strategic Development Fund income.
The net result for the year was a surplus of £68,905 (2023: £161,096).
Reserves Policy
The CIO aims to hold free reserves broadly equivalent to 3 months’ expenditure (£70,000) for the following reasons:
-
To manage cash flow and contractual obligations;
-
In case of significant building maintenance being required; and
-
Against loss of income whilst buildings are not available for rental.
However, as this is only the CIO’s third year of activity and the majority of expenditure is funded through the Strategic Development Fund (SDF) grant, the trustees have agreed to operate with a higher reserves balance in the short term, to allow a buffer as the SDF grant reduces in future years.
The total net assets as at the year-end were £287,102, and of these, £139,978 is unrestricted and £147,124 is restricted reserves.
Going Concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. There are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubts upon the CIO’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Safeguarding
The PCC has complied with the duty under section 5 of the Safeguarding and Clergy Discipline Measure 2016 (duty to comply with the House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults).
Volunteers
The trustees of the CIO would like to thank all the volunteers who work so tirelessly to make our Church a lively and vibrant community.

Bay Church (Torbay) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Period Ending 30 June 2024
1. Accounting policies Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the Charities Act 2011 and in accordance with Church Accounting Regulations 2006 together with the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (Charities SORP (FRS 102)) and Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102).
The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention.
The CIO meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the CIO.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. There are no material uncertainties related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubts upon the CIO's ability to continue as a going concern.
Funds
General funds represent the funds of the CIO that are not subject to any restrictions regarding their use and are available for application on the general purposes of the CIO. Funds designated for a particular purpose by the CIO are also not restricted.
Restricted funds are income funds that must be spent on restricted purposes and details of the funds held and restrictions provided are shown in the notes to the accounts.
The financial statements include all transactions, assets and liabilities for which the CIO is responsible in law. They do not include the accounts of the church groups that owe their main affiliation to another body nor those that are informal gatherings of church members.
Income
Donations and legacies
Planned giving, collections and general donations are recognised only when received.
Gift aid recoverable on donations is recognised when the donation is received.
Grants and legacies to the CIO are recognised as soon as the CIO is notified of its legal entitlement, the amount due is quantifiable and its ultimate receipt by the CIO is probable.
Charitable activities
Income from church fee income is recognised when the fee is due. Income from activities is accounted for gross.
Other trading activities
Rental income is recognised when the rent is due. Where income is received in advance, it is recognised in the year in which the event takes place that it relates to.
Investments
Interest entitlements are accounted for as they accrue.

Bay Church (Torbay) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Period Ending 30 June 2024
1. Accounting policies (continued)
Expenditure
Raising funds
Expenditure on raising funds is accounted for on the accruals basis.
Charitable activities
Expenditure on charitable activities is accounted for on the accruals basis.
Grants are accounted for when paid over, or when awarded, if that award creates a binding obligation on the CIO.
Tangible fixed assets
Consecrated land and buildings and moveable church furnishing
Consecrated and beneficed property is excluded from the accounts by s10(2)(a) of the Charities Act 2011.
No value is placed on moveable church furnishings held by the churchwardens on special trust for the CIO and which require a faculty for disposal since the CIO considers this to be inalienable property. All expenditure incurred during the year on consecrated or beneficed buildings and moveable church furnishings, whether maintenance or improvement, is written off as expenditure in the SOFA and separately disclosed.
Other fixed assets
Other fixed assets are recognised at cost. Individual assets with a purchase price less than £1,000 are written off when the asset is acquired.
Depreciation has been provided on other fixed assets on a straight-line basis in order to write off the cost of the assets over the following estimated useful lives:
-
Fixtures and fittings - 7 years
-
Computers and equipment - 7 years
Debtors
Amounts owing to the charity at 30 June in respect of fees, rents or other income are shown as debtors less provision for any amounts that may prove uncollectable. These are recognised initially at the settlement amount. Prepayments are valued at the amount prepaid, net of any trade discounts due.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Creditors
Creditors are recognised when the charity has an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Creditors are recognised at the amount that the charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payment for the goods or services it must provide.
Financial instruments
The church only has financial assets and liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. All (including debtors and creditors) are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

10 Contingent assets
During 2021, Bay Church was awarded a Strategic Development Funding (SDF) grant of £1,499,803 by the Archbishops’ Council towards the cost of growing mission in Torbay over 5 years. An additional sum of £386,018 was awarded in late 2022 for additional capital works. This grant was applied for by the Exeter Diocesan Board of Finance (EDBF), acting as an agent on behalf of Bay Church. Operational grants are claimed in advance on a bi-annual basis. Grants for capital expenditure are claimed when contracts/tenders are signed. All moneys go through EDBF and are passed on to Bay Church. Each claim requires approval by administrators of the SDF to ensure it is in line with the original budget submitted. The Archbishops’ Council reserves the right to terminate the award if it becomes substantially unlikely that Bay Church will be able to deliver its outcomes as set out in the original grant application. These performance related conditions prevent the full recognition of the grant. So far Bay Church has managed to meet the conditions, so there does not appear to be a reason why SDF income will not be available in 2024-25. Of the total grant, £1,100,381 has been recognised, leaving £785,440 as a contingent asset.
