**THE WESTERN UNION OF UNITARIAN AND FREE CHRISTIAN CHURCHES**
## **COUNCIL MEMBERS' ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**
The Trustees present their report and independently examined financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.
## **Objectives and Activities**
The object of the Charity is the encouragement and support of its constituent congregations in the promotion of religion in spirit and in truth.
## **Achievements and Performance**
The Council met on two occasions during 2021/2022 to conduct business, following the lifting of Covid restrictions. It also held its annual assembly at Plymouth in September 2021, when Sheila Evans was elected President.
The President, Edgar Mihas, represented the District at the General Assembly Meetings, which were conducted by Zoom because of Covid restrictions.
A Group to consider the future of the District has been convened and met for the first time, via Zoom, in February 2022. It is facilitated by Helen Mason, Director of Unitarian College Manchester.
A successful Retreat was held at Hillfield Priory in Dorset, in October 2021, and will be repeated in 2022. Grants totalling £11,581 were made to cover net losses, due to Covid lockdown periods in 2020 and 2021, to two chapels which were unable to meet losses from their own reserves.
A one-off grant of £5,000 was made to Bridgwater Chapel from Ilminster Trust designated funds to enable them to have a building survey carried out.
Grants totalling £14,850, for 2022, were approved for pulpit supplies or ministry, as follows:
|Bridgwater|£1,350|
|---|---|
|Taunton|£500|
|Cullompton|£2,750|
|Plymouth|£2,750|
|Bristol|£7,500|
|**TOTAL**|**£14,850**|
## **Financial review**
The trustees consider the level of funds held to be sufficient to ensure the continued operation of the Trust. At 31 December 2021, cash in current bank accounts and on deposit with the bank named on page 5 amounted to £152,592.
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
The Western Union of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches is a charity registered with the Charity Commission under number 251033. The charity operates under a constitution ratified in May 2000.
## **Risk Management**
The trustees continuously monitor the risks to which the Trust may be exposed and are satisfied that sufficient controls are in place to deal with any matters that might arise as a result of thereof.
## **Public Benefit**

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF**
## **THE WESTERN UNION OF UNITARIAN AND FREE CHRISTIAN CHURCHES**
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 December 2021, which are set out on pages 7 - 13.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act), and that an independent examination is needed.
## It is my responsibilty to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner's report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and the seeking of explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

**THE WESTERN UNION OF UNITARIAN AND FREE CHRISTIAN CHURCHES**
**NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**
## **1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES**
## **1.1 Basis of preparation of accounts**
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued on 16 July 2014 and the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.
## **1.2 Income recognition**
All income is recognised once the charity has entitlement to that income, it is probably that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.
Interest on funds held on deposit is included when receivable and the amount can be measured reliably by the charity; this is normally upon notification of the interest paid or payable by the bank.
## **1.3**
## **Expenditure recognition**
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that the settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. All expenses including support costs and governance costs are allocate or apportioned to the applicable expenditure headings.
## **1.4 Investments**
Investments are a form of basic financial instrument and are initially recognised at their transaction value and subsequently measured at their fair value as at the balance sheet date using the closing quoted market price. The statement of activities includes the net gains and losses arising on revaluation and disposals throughout the year.
All gains and losses are taken to the Statement of Financial Activities as they arise. Realised gains and losses on investments are calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and their opening carrying value or their purchase value. Unrealised gains and losses are calculated as the difference between the fair value at the year end and their carrying value.

**THE WESTERN UNION OF UNITARIAN AND FREE CHRISTIAN CHURCHES**
## **NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021**
## **14 DESIGNATED FUNDS**
## **Trowbridge Fund**
Following the closure of the Chapel at Trowbridge, in September 2019 the Western Union was entrusted with the net proceeds of the sale of the bungalow in which the services and the congregational activities there had been held, on the understanding that this money was to be used primarily to support Unitarianism within Trowbridge and it surrounding area.
## **Ilminster Fund**
Following closure of the Ilminster Trust in late 2019, the Western Union received some assets which were allocated to the Western Union on the understanding that they would be used primarily to support Unitarian chapels and churches in Somerset.
## **Yeovil Fund**
In late September 2020, the Western Union was entrusted with the care of the funds resulting from the closure of the former Yeovil Trust and the sale of its property. The wishes of the former trustees at Yeovil are that this money should be used primarily to support Unitarianism within the County of Somerset, and thereafter within the District.
## **15 Related Party Transactions**
There were no related party transactions in the year ended 31 December 2021.
