CHURCH COMMUNITIES UK (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)
The directors of Church Communities UK, who are Trustees for the purposes of charity law, present their Annual Report, which is the director group strategic report for the company and its subsidiaries, and the audited accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in Note 1 and comply with the governing document of Church Communities UK, applicable law and requirements of SORP 2019.
LEGAL STRUCTURE AND GOVERNANCE
Church Commu guarantee, registered in England and Wales, company number 455366. It is a religious order, registered as ument is its Articles of Association.
Directors and Members of the company are distinct groups. Directors are usually appointed by resolution of company Members. Procedures for induction and training of new directors include resources such as the relevant Charity Commission publications as well as board minutes and policies. The directors were as follows at the date they approved this Report:
Bernard Hibbs Marianne Wright Lael Page Gregory Winter Darlene Keiderling
The Board is responsible for management of the Order and most directors are involved in its daily activities. The Board has delegated certain authority to two committees: the Finance and Corporate Affairs Committee to ensure sound financial management and regulatory compliance; and the Education Committee to lead and manage the schools operated by the Order. Members of the Order, directors and Committee members receive no remuneration or benefit connected with these roles.
OBJECTS
The Objects of the Order, as shown in the governing document, are (in an abridged form):
The advancement of the Christian faith and the promotion of the moral and spiritual welfare of the general public the public benefit, and in particular
-
advancing the vocation of Christian church community as described in Foundations and inspired by the early Christian community described in The Acts of the Apostles 2:44 45 and 4:32-35, as a witness to the world and in service of humanity;
-
establishing, supporting, and maintaining Bruderhof church communities that are open to all people, thus enabling their participants to devote themselves to the service of Jesus Christ and the proclamation of the gospel through a shared life of worship, mission, common work, education, and family life, recognising that productive labour is a vital aspect of church community life and is, in this context, a religious activity that advances the message of the Christian gospel;
2
-
relieving poverty, advancing education, and supporting the principles and practice of the Christian faith in relation to peace, justice, reconciliation, and non-violence; and
-
furthering the purposes of the Bruderhof throughout the world insofar as they are exclusively charitable under English law.
STRATEGIC REPORT
In deciding what activities the Order should undertake, the directors have paid due regard to Charity Commission guidance on public benefit. During the year, the Order sought to fulfil its charitable Objects through two main areas of activity: Community Life and Other Charitable Work and Mission.
Community Life
The directors are satisfied that the most effective way of advancing the Christian faith, and furthering the Objects to benefit the public, is through the long-term objective of founding and maintaining church communities. This means demonstrating the faith and teachings of Jesus Christ and his Apostles in everyday life. The church document, Foundations of our Faith and Calling , describes this life and its biblical basis. Members live in full community of goods and complete spiritual unity while maintaining an open door for visitors.
of community life. Guest accommodation is available, and the community members and visitors gather for meals and worship meetings at noon or in the evenings. During the year, the communities welcomed many visitors and neighbours who attended occasions such as open days, summer festivals, religious services and Christmas celebrations.
Productive labour in community departments is integral to the religious vocation of community life described in the Objects. Members do not work for a salary or any remuneration and receive no pocket money. Rather, in wholehearted devotion to Christ and his church, members attend to their duties, and their needs are met to a simple standard, this being a basic principle of church community life since the time of the Apostles (Acts 2:44-45).
Adults contribute their efforts in various community departments and businesses. For example, members make high quality wooden furniture and educational play equipment that is sold to schools and nurseries through a separate primary purpose trading subsidiary, Community Products (UK) Limited. Other members work in departments such as the communal kitchen, laundry, and garden.
During the year the Order achieved some short-term aims in maintaining and improving the land, buildings and equipment at each community. The Order sold UK property surplus to requirements, and was able to purchase a commercial building near the new community location in Austria, enabling productive communal work to be developed in future years. In the UK, the Order began ground works and installation of a ground mounted solar photovoltaic system, completed during summer 2023. Further green energy infrastructure will be considered in the next financial year. Building works were also commenced on a new boarding house, with completion scheduled for 2024.
3
Other Charitable Work and Mission
Another long-term objective of the Order is to further the faith and mission of Jesus Christ through the publishing work, mission journeys, and other charitable work. In some cases the Order conducts these activities and in other cases grants are made to further the work of others. During each year the directors aim to balance appropriately the efforts and resources that support this wide variety of activities.
Distribution of books, a quarterly magazine, and on-line During the past year Plough Publishing distributed thousands of books dealing with such topics as forgiveness and reconciliation, marriage, prayer, family life and facing death.
Community members ministered to the varied needs of individuals in nearby towns and villages. Members also regularly attended local support groups for the elderly, volunteered as chaplains in hospitals and hospices, and volunteered with other charitable organisations which support the vulnerable, the homeless and refugees. In the past year, members have continued to volunteer in Thailand, helping churches support refugees. These are just a few examples of
Charitable Grants: The Order fulfils its charitable Objects through the two areas of activity described above. The Order is not a grant-making charity. Nevertheless, during the year and to the extent surpluses remain after carrying out the activities described above, the Order made grants to support other charities in their work for education, reconciliation, alleviation of poverty and social need, and other mission activity within the UK and abroad. The board has delegated authority to the Finance and Corporate Affairs Committee to approve grants of up to £25,000 and any larger grants that are part of an arrangement already approved by the board.
Volunteers: The directors recognise the efforts of all volunteers. Most of them are community members who participate daily in all aspects of communal living as a religious vocation.
REVIEW OF FINANCIAL POSITION
As stated in the Objects, productive labour is a vital aspect of church community life. Therefore the whollyowned trading subsidiary, Community Products (UK) Limited, fulfils one of the primary purposes of the ures and sells high quality educational equipment and furniture. While the trading subsidiary is legally distinct from the Order, the common work it provides to members is an integral part of community life. The directors recognise that provision of meaningful work for community members and visitors is one of the most important goals of the manufacturing efforts. Pursuant to the terms of a deed of covenant, it distributes its profits to the Order, thereby providing the principal source of funding for all key charitable objectives. Community Products (UK) Limited has a wholly-owned subsidiary, Community Playthings Deutschland GmbH, which carries out profitable business activities in Germany. The directors are satisfied with the profitability, financial position, and future outlook of these entities.
4
Two other subsidiaries, Brightling Services Ltd and Ashdowne Resources Limited, have been established to provide services to the group. Brightling Services Ltd was largely inactive during the year. Ashdowne Resources Limited provided seconded labour services within the group. Both entities distributed profits to the Order pursuant to deeds of covenant.
In addition to income received from its subsidiaries the Order receives donations from members and other sources as set out in note 2. All the incoming resources are used to fund the charitable activities described above and set out in note 6.
Strategic Risks: The directors regularly identify and assess the major risks to which the Order is exposed. The Board has identified loss of income or catastrophic loss of assets as the most significant strategic risk faced by the Order. The Board has established systems to mitigate all risks, including strategic risks, and is satisfied that it has taken all steps reasonably practicable to minimise the impact such events would have on the Order. Day-to-day risk management is the responsibility of the Finance and Corporate Affairs Committee. The high costs of commodities and energy caused by geo-political uncertainty and conflict remain the primary strategic risk. The directors consider the measures implemented are adequate to address these challenges, and are confident that the Order will continue as a going concern.
Reserves and Funds: The directors have agreed a reserves policy to ensure the continuity of the Order activities by managing the risk of unforeseen reduction of income. According to the policy which is reviewed each year, the free reserves range is between nine and eighteen months of the expenditure on charitable activities undertaken directly by the Order as detailed in note 6.
At 31 March 2023 funds of £39,757,011 include a designated Fixed Asset Fund of £31,614,647, which is the value of tangible fixed assets including foreign properties. This land, buildings and equipment is essential to the vocation of church community life and its benefit to the public. This designated fund is not readily available for expenditure. The group holds remaining free reserves of £8,142,364 which is within the acceptable range set by the reserves policy.
DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS
Each of the directors has confirmed that there is no information of which they are aware which is relevant to the audit, but of which the auditor is unaware. They have further confirmed that they have taken appropriate steps to identify such relevant information and to establish that the auditors are aware of such information.
AUDITORS
In accordance with section 485 of Companies Act 2006, a resolution regarding the appointment of the auditors of the company will be put to the Members.

CHURCH COMMUNITIES UK
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees, who are also the directors of Church Communities UK for the purpose of company law, are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
A combination of Company Law and Charity Law requires the trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the group and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable group for that year.
-
In preparing these accounts, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts; and
-
prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF CHURCH COMMUNITIES UK
Opinion
2023 which comprise the consolidated statement of financial activities, the consolidated and charity statement of financial position, the consolidated cash flow statement and the notes to the accounts, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
-
In our opinion, the accounts:
-
2023 and
-
including its income and expenditure,
-
for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the accounts section of our report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the accounts in the UK, including dance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group and Charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form

CHURCH COMMUNITIES UK (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:
-
the information given in the trustees' report, which includes the director prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the accounts are prepared is consistent with the accounts; and
-
the strategic report and the director accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent charity and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the director
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent charity, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the statement of trustees' responsibilities, the trustees, who are also the directors of the charity for the purpose of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the accounts and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of accounts that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

CHURCH COMMUNITIES UK (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the accounts
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the accounts as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these accounts.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
As part of our planning process:
-
We enquired of management the systems and controls the charity has in place, the areas of the financial statements that are most susceptible to the risk of irregularities and fraud, and whether there was any known, suspected or alleged fraud.
-
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the company. We determined that the following were most relevant: the Charity SORP, FRS 102, Charities Act 2011, Companies Act 2006.
-
We considered the incentives and opportunities that exist in the charity, including the extent of management bias, which present a potential for irregularities and fraud to be perpetuated, and tailored our risk assessment accordingly.
-
Using our knowledge of the charity, together with the discussions held with the charity at the planning stage, we formed a conclusion on the risk of misstatement due to irregularities including fraud and tailored our procedures according to this risk assessment.
The key procedures we undertook to detect irregularities including fraud during the course of the audit included:
-
Identifying and testing journal entries and the overall accounting records, in particular those that were significant and unusual.
-
Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and determining whether accounting policies have been appropriately applied.
-
Assessing the extent of compliance, or lack of, with the relevant laws and regulations.
-
Testing key income lines, in particular cut-off, for evidence of management bias.
-
Performing a physical verification of key fixed assets and stock.
-
Assessing the validity of the classification of income, expenditure, assets and liabilities between unrestricted and designated funds.
-
Obtaining third-party confirmation of material bank and loan balances.
-
Documenting and verifying all significant related party transactions.
-
Reviewing documentation such as the charity board minutes, correspondence with solicitors, for discussions of irregularities including fraud.
-
Testing all material consolidation adjustments.

CHURCH COMMUNITIES UK (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. The primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities and fraud rests with the trustees of the charity.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the accounts is located on the Financial part of our auditor's report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
