|Policy on grant making.|Para 1.38|The church supports several individuals<br>and organisations that have been identified<br>as having objectives linked to ours by<br>members of the Church, primarily by<br>making restricted financial gifts to other<br>registered charities. The proportion of the<br>total income distributed in this way is set by<br>the Trustees and is administered by a sub-<br>committee comprising trustees and church<br>members; the decisions are reported to the<br>church members’ meeting. Those who<br>receive gifts are regularly reminded that<br>their support is reviewed at least annually<br>and may change according to<br>circumstances and the availability of funds.<br>The total amount of gifts made in the year<br>amounted to £26,385 and an analysis of<br>these grants may be found in notes 13.1<br>and 13.2 to the financial statements.|
|Contribution made by<br>volunteers.|Para 1.38|The church's programme of activities<br>depends very heavily on voluntary work by<br>church members and others regularly<br>attending church activities. Our Sunday<br>School & Youth Work programmes, the<br>Hub mid-week group and Toddler group<br>are all entirely run by volunteers. There are<br>over 100 individuals identified as<br>volunteering in at least one capacity to<br>deliver the church's activities.|

## **Achievements and Performance** 

||SORP reference||
|---|---|---|
|Summary of the main<br>achievements of the charity,<br>identifying the difference the<br>charity’s work has made to<br>the circumstances of its<br>beneficiaries and any wider<br>benefits to society as a<br>whole.|Para 1.20|During 2023 we ran Sunday morning<br>worship services and continued to provide<br>access to the wider community via online<br>live-streaming and recordings of the<br>services. Our attendance at Sunday<br>services ranged from 100-170 people, with<br>up to 20 connections viewing the live-<br>streamed service, and the recordings<br>achieving up to 170 hits. We also provided<br>audio recordings of the bible readings and<br>sermons for those who wanted to focus on<br>the bible teaching element of our services.<br>During school term times we provided age-<br>related children’s activities during the<br>Sunday morning worship services and also<br>on Friday evenings. Up to 50 children<br>attended the Sunday activities and the mid-<br>week attendance varied but included<br>children of families who do not normally<br>attend the Sunday services.<br>Midweek "Growth Groups" are embedded<br>in church life and allow people to discuss<br>the application of the Christian faith in their<br>lives (often by discussing questions set<br>around recent sermon topics), and to<br>provide prayerful and practical support for<br>each other. At its peak we had 13 such<br>groups of up to 10 people meeting in the<br>area, including some using online<br>conference calls to allow access by those<br>at a distance or who preferred to join from<br>their own homes.<br>Our weekly Toddler Group ran during term-<br>time in 2023 with up to 70 adults bringing<br>up to 100 children, the vast majority of<br>whom have no other connection to the<br>church. It remains highly popular within the<br>town, providing much-needed opportunities<br>for families and child-care providers to<br>meet up.<br>Our "Neighbourhood Chaplains"<br>programme, in which members of the<br>church seek to befriend and support &<br>serve those within the town who may be<br>elderly or lonely, continued although<br>reduced in scope owing to loss of some<br>volunteers.|

|Performance of fundraising<br>activities against objectives<br>set|Para 1.41|We do not fundraise (in the sense of<br>making public appeals for funds), we rely<br>almost entirely on voluntary donations from<br>the church congregation including the<br>weekly offering made as part of the church<br>worship service.<br>Our total income exceeded the budget<br>amount by just under £10k.|
|Investment performance<br>against objectives|Para 1.41|We do not set out to maximise the return<br>on investments; we hold surplus money in<br>low-risk interest bearing banking accounts<br>from our bankers and the Baptist Union<br>Corporation.|
|**Financial Review**|||
|Review of the charity’s<br>financial position at the end<br>of the period|Para 1.21|For 2023, the Trustees set a budget to fund<br>two full-time Ministerial positions and a<br>part-time community outreach worker for<br>the full year. The budget anticipated a<br>deficit of £33.5k which would be funded<br>from reserves.<br>Income for the year was above the budget<br>target, and expenditure was below the<br>target, so the actual deficit (in unrestricted<br>funds) was only £5.5k|
|Statement explaining the<br>policy for holding reserves<br>stating why they are held|Para 1.22|The Trustees consider that the minimum<br>level of income reserves required are three<br>months expenditure (currently about £65k).<br>This is sufficient to meet the Church’s<br>needs, including legal obligations.<br>The fund designated in 2018 to the<br>establishment of a new Christian witness in<br>the area reduced from £17k to £16k as an<br>original donor asked for their contribution to<br>be redistributed. The fund of £50k<br>designated for the funding of an extra staff<br>position continues to be held.|
|Amount of reserves held|Para 1.22|£ 127,729 (excluding restricted &<br>designated funds)|
|Reasons for holding zero<br>reserves|Para 1.22|Not applicable|
|Details of fund materially in<br>deficit|Para 1.24|No fund is in deficit.|
|Explanation of any<br>uncertainties about the<br>charity continuing as a going<br>concern|Para 1.23|There are no uncertainties given the<br>current level of donation income and the<br>value of the reserves.|

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

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

|Description of charity’s<br>trusts:|||
|---|---|---|
|Type of governing<br>document|Para 1.25|The church was founded in the first half of the 19th<br>century. The land where it now meets was acquired<br>under a property trust dated 12th June 1890.<br>However, it operated as an unincorporated<br>association under a constitution until 31st<br>December 2022.<br>On 9thMay 2022 a new CIO charity was approved<br>by the Charity Commission under a constitution<br>and handbook, both created and adopted by the<br>previous charity’s members on 17thApril 2022. This<br>charity took over the running of the church with the<br>old unincorporated association charity assets being<br>transferred to the new CIO charity on 31st<br>December 2022.|
|How is the charity<br>constituted?|Para 1.25|CIO|
|Trustee selection<br>methods including details<br>of any constitutional<br>provisions e.g. election<br>to post or name of any<br>person or body entitled<br>to appoint one or more<br>trustees|Para 1.25|Trustees are made up of three classes as defined<br>in the Church Handbook:<br>1) Ministers appointed by the Church become<br>Trustees whilst they are employed by the Church; a<br>decision to appoint them as Ministers (and hence<br>Trustees) is made by the Church Members by<br>secret ballot at a Special Church Meeting. At the<br>end of 2023, there was one Trustee who was a<br>Minister, but his resignation was effective on 3rd<br>January 2024.<br>2) The Church is run by an Eldership; ministers are<br>also appointed to the Eldership because of their<br>ministerial appointment, but the church also<br>appoints Elders from within its membership in a<br>special meeting and they may either be nominated<br>by serving Elders & Deacons or by 10% or more of<br>the church membership making a request in<br>writing. The Eldership is primarily responsible for<br>setting the spiritual direction of the church and thus<br>delivering on the first part of the charitable<br>objectives. They are, therefore, appointed as<br>Trustees at the time of their election as Elders. At<br>the end of 2023 there was one Trustee who was an<br>Elder.<br>3) In addition the Handbook provides for the<br>appointment of Deacons who also serve as<br>Trustees. They are appointed by the church in a<br>special meeting and may either be nominated by<br>serving Elders & Deacons or by 10% or more of the<br>church membership making a request in writing. At<br>the end of 2023, there were two trustees who were<br>Deacons.|

|Policies and procedures<br>adopted for the induction<br>and training of trustees|Para 1.51|New trustees are provided with a briefing<br>pack on the role of a trustee and basic<br>information about the operation of the<br>church as a charity.|
|The charity’s organisational<br>structure and any wider<br>network with which the<br>charity works|Para 1.51|At the start of the year the church<br>employed a Senior Minister and an<br>Associate Minister (both full time) and a<br>part time community outreach worker<br>together with an Operations Manager, an<br>administrator/caretaker, a financial<br>administrator and a cleaner all on a part-<br>time basis.<br>The paid ministerial staff work with the<br>Eldership to determine the spiritual<br>direction of the church and with the wider<br>Elders & Deacons group to deliver the<br>charitable objectives. The Trustees meet<br>regularly to review and discuss the affairs<br>of the church. At church members’<br>meetings, held regularly throughout the<br>year, members review and make<br>recommendations concerning the affairs of<br>the church in response to the leadership of<br>the Elders & Deacons. Some matters, as<br>defined in the Constitution, are decided at<br>the church members’ meeting; others,<br>related to the running of the charity, are<br>decided by the Trustees.<br>The church is in membership of the Baptist<br>Union of Great Britain (charity no. 1125912)<br>from which it draws guidance and advice<br>on legal & organisational matters.|

For traded securities, the fair value is the value of the security quoted on the London Stock Exchange Daily Official List or equivalent.  For other assets where there is no market price on a traded market, it is the trustees' or valuers' best estimate of fair value.**_
