The proportion of the total income distributed in this way is set by the Trustees and is administered by a sub-committee comprising trustees and church members; the decisions are reported to the church members’ meeting. Those who receive gifts are regularly reminded that their support is reviewed at least annually and may change according to circumstances and the availability of funds. The total amount of gifts made in the year amounted to £25,625 and an analysis of these grants may be found in notes 13.1 and 13.2 to the financial statements.

Achievements and Performance

	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	During 2022 the church activities were returned to normal operations as the Covid Pandemic risks decreased and Government Lockdowns ceased. We ran Sunday morning worship services but continued to provide an on-line streamed service each Sunday via social media applications. Our attendance at Sunday services was around 150-170 people, up to 20 people would view the on- line streamed service, either live or later in the week. We also run Sunday School services, and all our normal mid-week activities. Toddler activities were run during 2022 as were youth groups. The mid-week drop-in café which was halted post March 2020 was replace with “The Hub”, a bi-weekly Wednesday morning event open to all ages and attended by an average of 30-40 people. Our "Neighbourhood Chaplains" programme, in which members of the church seek to befriend and support & serve those within the town who may be elderly or lonely continued; albeit in a more restricted form and adhering to remaining COVID regulations. Sermons and teaching resources continued to be made available through the internet including audio recordings. Midweek "Growth Groups" which are embedded in church life and allow people to discuss the application of the Christian faith in their lives (often by discussing questions set around the recent sermon topics), and to provide prayerful and practical support for each other were able to continue using on-line applications and when permissible, to meet within social distancing guidelines. The church has continued to support people in Romania, Tanzania, Spain, and the Middle East.

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	Para 1.21	For 2022, the Trustees set a budget to fund two Ministerial positions for the full year. Income for the year was above the budget target, and expenditure was also below the target, resulting in a surplus amounting to £16,390.
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Para 1.22	The Trustees consider that the minimum level of income reserves required are three months expenditure. This is sufficient to meet the Church’s needs, including legal obligations. The fund designated in 2018 to the establishment of a new Christian witness in the area continues to amount to £17k.
Amount of reserves held	Para 1.22	£ 112,743
Reasons for holding zero reserves	Para 1.22	Not applicable
Details of fund materially in deficit	Para 1.24	No fund is in deficit.
Explanation of any uncertainties about the charity continuing as a going concern	Para 1.23	There are no uncertainties given the current level of donation income and the value of the reserves.

The charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising)	Para 1.47	In 2022 the Charity's principal source of income (99.6%) is via voluntary donations from the congregation who attend the church, supported by Gift Aid refunds where possible. Small amounts of income derive from letting out space within the buildings to other charities and organisations, and from interest on savings and investments.
Investment policy and objectives including any social investment policy adopted.	Para 1.46	The church's reserves are held in low-risk bank accounts and on deposit with the Baptist Union. It is not the church's policy to invest to secure higher rates of return on its relatively small cash reserve.
A description of the principal risks facing the charity	Para 1.46	Almost all the charity's income comes from voluntary donations from the church's congregation. Although a significant proportion of this is in standing orders supported by Gift Aid, and can be expected to continue, there is always a risk that donors could leave the church and the income could drop as a result. The finance management team review trends regularly and they report to the Trustees each quarter on income & expenditure. Some budgeted expenditure can be delayed or stopped if income drops.

Structure, Governance and Management

Description of charity’s trusts:
Type of governing document (trust deed, royal charter)	Para 1.25	The church was founded in the first half of the 19th century. The land where it now meets was acquired under a property trust dated 12th June 1890. However, it operated as an unincorporated association under a constitution which was revised and adopted on 26th April 2009. On 9thMay 2022 A new CIO charity was created and approved by the charity commission under a constitution and handbook, both created and adopted by the church on 17thApril and approved by the Charity Commission on 9thMay 2022. This charity took over the running of the church with the old CUA charity merging with the new CIO charity on 31stDecember 2022.
How is the charity constituted? (e.g. unincorporated association, CIO)	Para 1.25	CIO See above - the Unincorporated Association was merged with the CIO charity on 31stDecember 2022.
Trustee selection methods including details of any constitutional provisions e.g. election to post or name of any person or body entitled to appoint one or more trustees	Para 1.25	Trustees are made up of three classes: 1) Ministers appointed as Elders of the Church become Trustees whilst they are employed by the Church; a decision to appoint them as Ministers and Elders (and hence Trustees) is made by the Church Members by secret ballot at a Special Church Meeting. At the end of 2022, there were two Trustees who were a Minister. 2) The Church is run by an Eldership; ministers may also be appointed to the Eldership because of their ministerial appointment, but the church also appoints Elders from within its membership in a special meeting and they may either be nominated by serving Elders or by 10% or more of the church membership making a request in writing. The Eldership is primarily responsible for setting the spiritual direction of the church and thus delivering on the first part of the charitable objectives. They are, therefore, appointed as Trustees at the time of their election as Elders. At the end of 2022 there were two Trustees who were Elders. 3) Recognising that the Elders do not necessarily possess all the skills required for the effective running of a charity, the rules permit the church to appoint additional Trustees who will bring these necessary skills. They are appointed by the church in a special meeting and may either be nominated by serving Trustees or by 10% or more of the church membership making a request in writing. At the end of 2022, there were three Other Trustees.

Policies and procedures adopted for the induction and training of trustees	Para 1.51	New trustees are provided with a briefing pack on the role of a trustee and basic information about the operation of the church as a charity.
The charity’s organisational structure and any wider network with which the charity works	Para 1.51	During the year the church employed a full- time Senior Minister/Pastor and an Associate Minister together with a part- time Operations Manager, and both a financial administrator and a caretaker/cleaner on a part-time basis. We also employed a community staff worker on a part-time basis. The paid ministerial staff work with the Eldership to determine the spiritual direction of the church and with the wider Trustee group to deliver the charitable objectives. The Trustees meet regularly to review and discuss the affairs of the church. At church members’ meetings, held regularly throughout the year, members review and make recommendations concerning the affairs of the church in response to the leadership of the Trustees and Elders. Some matters, as defined in the Constitution, are decided at the church members’ meeting; others, related to the running of the charity, are decided by the Trustees. The church is in membership of the Baptist Union of Great Britain (charity reg'n 1125912) from which it draws guidance and advice on legal & organisational matters.

Note 2 Accounting policies 2.2 INCOME
This standard list of accounting policies has been applied by the charity except for those ticked "No" or "N/a". Where a different or additional policy has been adopted then this is detailed in the box below.	Yes No N/a
Recognition of income Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as income from donations when receivable. Donated goods for resale are measured at fair value on initial recognition, which is the expected proceeds from sale less the expected costs of sale, and recognised in 'Income from other trading activities' with the corresponding stock recognised in the balance sheet. On its sale the value of stock is charged against 'Income from other trading activities' and the proceeds from sale are also recognised as 'Income from other trading activities'. Goods donated for on-going use by the charity are recognised as tangible fixed assets and included in the SoFA as incoming resources when receivable. These are included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when: • the charity becomes entitled to the resources; · it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources; and • the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability. Donated goods Contractual income and performance related grants Offsetting There has been no offsetting of assets and liabilities, or income and expenses, unless required or permitted by the FRS 102 SORP or FRS 102. Grants and donations Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the general income recognition criteria are met (5.10 to 5.12 FRS102 SORP). This is only included in the SoFA once the charity has provided the related goods or services or met the performance related conditions. Donated goods are measured at fair value (the amount for which the asset could be exchanged) unless impractical to do so. In the case of performance related grants, income must only be recognised to the extent that the charity has provided the specified goods or services as entitlement to the grant only occurs when the performance related conditions are met (5.16 FRS 102 SORP). Legacies Legacies are included in the SOFA when receipt is probable, that is, when there has been grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate and any conditions attached to the legacy are either within the control of the charity or have been met. Government grants The charity has received government grants in the reporting period Tax reclaims on donations and gifts Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. The cost of any stock of goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries is deemed to be the fair value of those gifts at the time of their receipt and they are recognised on receipt. In the reporting period in which the stocks are distributed, they are recognised as an expense at the carrying amount of the stocks at distribution. Donated services and facilities Donated services and facilities are included in the SOFA when received at the value of the gift to the charity provided the value of the gift can be measured reliably.
