## **Essex Unitarian Chapel and Minister’s House Annual Report for the year ended 31[st] December 2021**
The Trustees submit their annual report together with the financial statements of Essex Unitarian Church for the year ended 31 December 2021. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities in preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) (Charities SORP FRS 102).
## **The Charity’s Purpose and Objectives:**
## **Charitable Purpose and Policies**
The purpose of the charity is to perpetuate public worship and to celebrate divine service every Sunday in the Unitarian manner.
## **Public Benefit**
The Trustees have had due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit when reviewing the charity’s objectives and planning future activities.
## **Aims and Activities of the Charity**
We are here to worship, to welcome spiritual seekers, to explore our diverse faith lives, to share our experiences, to learn from each other, and to offer companionship on life’s journey (including visiting the sick and comforting the bereaved). We advance Unitarianism in West London and beyond for the benefit of the public through: the holding of open Sunday services; celebrating rites of passage and multi-faith festivals; offering programmes for religious education, spiritual development, and social connection; producing and distributing Unitarian literature. The church also provides meeting spaces for other spiritual and social groups in accord with our progressive religious ethos.
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
The running of the church is under the control of the management committee with the trustees having overall responsibility for finance and staff employment. Trustees are appointed by invitation with a maximum number of 9 trustees to serve. They manage the charity by means of regular meetings, typically meeting eight times a year. The management committee is elected at the AGM with casual vacancies filled during the year. New trustees are given copies of the church accounts and previous Annual Reports along with a Charity Commission booklet explaining the responsibilities of trustees and a verbal explanation of how the church is organised.
The trustees who have served during the year are listed, with other key personnel, on page 1.
## **Review of Activities**
During 2021 the trustees continued to work towards key objectives identified during previous AGMs and developed new initiatives in response to the challenges presented by the Covid-19 pandemic. In particular these objectives remain:
- Our commitment to maintaining a high standard in public progressive religious worship as we moved our services online.
- Making our congregation visible to the wider world through further developing a high quality presence in digital media.
- Opening up new ways for people who are unable to attend in-person activities due to work, health, family, or caring responsibilities, and those who are geographically isolated, to take a full part in the life of the church through integrated online programming.
- 2 -
- Widening the number of people actively involved in congregational life by offering opportunities for people to take on leadership roles, to join a varied programme of small group activities and to volunteer for tasks which support the life of the church.
- The on-going maintenance and improvement of our church building and its facilities.
- Renting space to groups whose activities are in accord with our ethos and enabling some local groups to use our building at low cost.
- Encouraging congregation members to participate in national Unitarian events in order to forge links with our wider movement.
## **Future Aims and Objectives**
These objectives will continue to shape the trustees’ future plans, with a renewed focus on developing high-quality hybrid activities which are accessible to both in-person and online congregation members, and a continuing emphasis on maintaining and improving facilities within our building. As always we commit ourselves to welcoming all who seek an open-minded and open-hearted spiritual community, reaching out to work with others, and connecting with other local groups for the benefit of our wider community.
## **Risks**
The major risk is generating enough income to finance the charity’s occupation of the building and the global pandemic has led to a significant drop in our lettings income. The trustees and staff have worked to encourage donations and to reduce costs during these exceptional times. Trustees continue to review the risks to which the charity is exposed, systems have been established to mitigate those risks, and temporary financial losses are being managed prudently in order to ensure longer term recovery.
## **Financial Review**
The results for the year are set out in the statement of financial activities on page 6 and the position at the end of the year is shown in the balance sheet on page 7. The total income for the year was £140556, compared to £133,020 in 2020 and expenditure was £122,002 compared to £132,507 in 2020, which resulted in a surplus of £82,475 (2020: deficit of £25,879) after the net gain on the revaluation of investments of £63,291 (2020: net losses £26,392). Excluding gains and losses on investments a surplus of £18,554 for the year was achieved compared to £513 in 2020.
## **Policy on Reserves**
The Church’s unrestricted funds at 31 December 2021 were £707,138 of which £202 was held in fixed assets leaving free reserves of £706,936. The church has invested most of the reserves in funds expected to give a reasonable rate of interest, while keeping accessible enough to cover three month’s running costs, and to fund anything but very major repairs to the building.
## **Restrictions on Funds**
All Funds/Trusts under the control of the Trustees are for the benefit of the Church other than Carlisle Income Fund (income may be expended at the sole discretion of the Minister) and Stock Bequest (income must be used for Church music). We are working towards merging the small trusts, except the Stock Bequest and the Lindsey Hall Trust, into the main Essex Church charity, in which case Carlisle Income Fund will be replaced by a sum from general church funds, agreed by the trustees, being set aside for the minister’s discretionary use.
## **Investment Performance**
Having consulted financial advisors attached to the Unitarian and Free Christian General Assembly, the church divided their financial reserves between short and long term investments, bearing in mind their duty to invest safely and sensibly.
## **Trustees’ responsibilities**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
- 3 -
Charity law requires 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, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP FRS 102;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements 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 financial statements comply with 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 EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Essex Unitarian Church (the Charity) for the year ended 31 December 2021.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
- (1) accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
- (2) the accounts do not accord with those records; or
- (3) the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**ESSEX UNITARIAN CHAPEL AND MINISTERS HOUSE**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**
## **1 Accounting policies**
## **Accounting convention**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011, the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) (Charities SORP FRS 102) and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).
The Essex Unitarian Church meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).
There are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue, and so the going concern basis of accounting has been adopted.
The financial statements are prepared in pounds sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound.
## **Income**
Donations are recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the funds have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.
Income from legacies is recognised when there has been a grant of probate, the executors have established that there are sufficient assets in the estate to pay the legacy, and any conditions attached to the legacy are within the charity's control or have been met.
Grant income is recognised when a formal offer is made in writing to the Society, unless the grant contains terms and conditions which must be met before the charity is entitled to the funds.
Income from investments, is stated at the amount receivable.
Lettings income is recognised on a receivable basis.
## **Expenditure**
Expenditure is recognised when there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer resources to a third party, settlement is probable and the amount can be measured reliably. Expenditure is stated gross of irrecoverable VAT and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category.
Support costs are allocated between raising funds and charitable activities based on the usage of the building.
## **Financial instruments**
Other than investments, the charity only has financial instruments of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Short term debtors and creditors are measured at their settlement value. Any losses from impairment are recognised in the statement of financial activities.

**ESSEX UNITARIAN CHAPEL AND MINISTERS HOUSE**
## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**
## **1 Accounting policies continued**
## **Fund accounting**
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for any other purpose.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors or which have been raised by the charity for particular purposes. The aim and use if each restricted fund us set out in the notes to the financial statements.
Endowment funds represent those assets which must be held permanently by the charity, principally the church building and the investments. The income arising on The Carlisle endowment fund can be spent at the discretion of the minister. The income arising on the other endowment funds can be used in accordance with the objects of the charity and is included as unrestricted income.
## **Tangible fixed assets**
Fixed assets (excluding investments and the freehold property) are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The costs of minor additions, or those costing below £400 are not capitalised.
Fixtures, fittings and works of art are depreciated at rates of 10% or 20% on cost per annum, depending on the estimated useful life of the asset. Computer equipment is depreciated on a straight line basis over 3 years.
Freehold property is included at the balance sheet at its deemed cost plus the cost of subsequent improvements. The freehold property is not depreciated as in the opinion of the trustees the estimated residual value and useful economic life of the property are sufficiently high that any depreciation would be immaterial.
## **Investments**
Investments held are stated at fair value. All movements in valuation are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities.
## **Pension costs**
The charity contributes to the Ministers Pension Fund. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the charity in an independently administered fund. The scheme is considered to be a multiemployer scheme as described in Section 28 of FRS 102. However because it is not possible to attribute the scheme's assets and liabilities to specific employees, its contributions are accounted for as if it were a defined contribution scheme. The pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the charity to the fund totalling £NIL (2020: £3,884).
The most recent actuarial valuation was carried out on 31 December 2019. The valuation revealed a deficit of £379,000 and a deficit recovery plan was put in place to increase contributions to the fund from members.
The charity also operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of the other employees. Contributions payable are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the year they are payable. The charge for the year was £2,138 (2020: £2,649).
## **Status**
The Church is a registered charity in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is given in the Report of the Trustees.

## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**
## **1 Accounting policies continued**
## **Significant estimates and judgements**
The key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date relate to the assessment of the useful life and the residual value of the charity’s freehold property, which is included in the financial statements at its cost of £1,322,709 including land. The trustees consider that the charity will make use of the property for at least 50 years, and that, because they intend to maintain the property to at least its current condition, the value of the property in today’s prices if it were at the end of its useful life is not less than its cost.

The endowments listed above comprise the original charity, known from 1793 as the Essex Unitarian Chapel and Minister's House, together with a number of other charities founded between the 19th and 20th centuries. These have been brought together by a number of Schemes of the Charity Commissioners, the most recent dated 18 April 1986. Under the terms of the Scheme, these charities are administered as a single charitable body. The smaller charities are accounted for as Endowment Funds, with the exception of the Stock bequest (for the Choir Fund).
The permanent endowment fund consists of the deemed cost of the property from which the charity operates and is not a readily convertible asset.
## _**Restricted funds**_
Restricted funds relate to the A R Stock Bequest Fund which is held for the use of the choir. During the year transfers of £5,309 (2020: £5,013) were made from this fund to unrestricted funds because any income arising from the investments can be used at the discretion of the trustees.
