South Aston United Reformed Church 

Annual Report  -  Year ended 31 March 2021 

______________________________________________________________________________ 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

The Church is a constituent part of the United Reformed Church that was formed by Act of Parliament in 1972.  South Aston Church (SAC) is a separately registered charity with a charity number allocation 516837 and therefore complies with the reporting requirements for charities in the preparation of its financial statements as outlined in the Charities Act 1993 and subsequent Statements of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORPs). 

The Church’s business is conducted through the means of quarterly church meetings and an annual general meeting held in May of each year.  Elders of the Church meet on a monthly basis to deal with business between Church meetings. 

The following committees are responsible for specific elements in the life of the Church: 

Finance Buildings and Fire Safety South Aston Youth and Community Work Age and Lunch Club (WWOP) 

The Finance Committee has responsibility to prepare annual budgets and associated information necessary for the reporting of the commitments and financial position of the Church.  These matters are tendered to the Trustees (Elders) for their consideration along with recommendations as appropriate. 

The Finance Committee is made up of the Church Treasurer, a Trustee (Elder), Church Accounts Advisor, Church Centre Co-ordinator and two other persons nominated by the Church meeting. 

## **Appointment of New Officers and Trustees** 

Members become Trustees on being appointed as Elders.  Elders serve a three-year term and retire by rotation, and can be re-elected for further terms.  All Officers and Committee Members are appointed by the Annual General Church meeting and elected or re-elected annually. 

## **Related parties** 

The Church is an active participant in the group of Churches from various denominations in the area, known as Aston Churches Working Together.

South Aston United Reformed Church 

Annual Report  -  Year ended 31 March 2021 

______________________________________________________________________________ 

The objectives of the Church are to advance the Christian religion in accordance with the doctrines, principles and usages of the United Reformed Church in the South Aston area of Birmingham. 

Members, volunteers and four paid members of staff, which include a Minister, provide guidance, support and outreach to develop these objectives.  These are broadly classified as Ministry and Mission, work in the community at large, work with older people and provision of other outreach activities.  Numerous activities are carried out at the premises during the week including Local History, English lessons, South Aston Café Active, lunch clubs etc.  Of these paid members of staff the Minister is funded directly from the United Reformed Church of England and Wales. 

The ministerial allocation to SAC is 50% with the remaining 50% of time allocated equally between Wilton Road United Reformed Church and Bishop Latimer Church. Whilst this is a joint pastorate each church is a separate entity in both organisational and accounting functions.  The Minister also assists other churches in the area. 

## **Finance Review** 

The Trustees are responsible for preparing financial statements which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Church as at the end of each annual financial period and of the financial activities for that period.  In preparing the financial statements they should ensure that they: 

- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently 

- Make judgement and estimates that are reasonable and prudent 

- State whether the policies adopted are in accordance with the Charities SORP and with applicable accounting standards. 

- Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Church will continue to function. 

The Trustees, who meet monthly, are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records, to prepare financial statements that comply with the Charities Act 1993 and sufficient internal controls to safeguard the assets of the Church and to prevent fraud and other irregularities. 

The Church’s income and expenditure is below the level requiring an audit by a Registered Auditor.  Instead a review by an Independent Examiner is appropriate and in this direction the Trustees have appointed Mrs Gillian Wall to act in this capacity. 

## **Financial Statements** 

The Financial Statement for the year ended 31 March 2021 has been prepared in compliance with Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP) as revised in 2005.  The analysis of income and expenditure reflects 

Ref. Finance/Accounts/Annual Report 2020-21 

Page 2 



South Aston United Reformed Church 

Annual Report  -  Year ended 31 March 2021 

______________________________________________________________________________ 

the classification of activities, together with costs relating to administration.  The Church does not sell goods or services for commercial profit but does generate income from hiring of rooms, etc. and other events to help defray expenses. 

## **Statement of Financial Activities** 

It will be seen that the General Fund account indicates that there was an excess of expenditure over income of almost £7,500.  As will be appreciated the whole of the period covered by the accounting timescale has been during the Covid-19 pandemic. As such hire of rooms etc is only 25% or so of that received under this heading during the 2019-20 accounting period.  Receipts under the heading of Giving have held steady thanks to the efforts of the charity’s members and adherents.  As will be noted and appreciated due to the closure of the church premises the service media costs are well down on the year under notice.  There was an alteration in the ministerial allocation part way through the last accounting period whereby that assessed to South Aston Church was reduced to 50%.  A further church came into the allocation equation resulting in an ability to recover from the two other churches involved certain costs associated with this ministerial situation.  These accounts now reflect a full year on this matter. 

The Church Centre was built in 1973 and we are continuing to address the need to replace or improve items relating to the fabric of the buildings of the centre. 

The Elders/Trustees are currently examining these financial scenarios with a view to seeking means of endeavouring to increase giving and fund raising.  Outgoings are constantly under review. 

## **Balance Sheet** 

The Church Centre buildings, a small area of land in the district of Lozells Birmingham and the Manse are the property of the United Reformed Church of England and Wales and as such are not valued in these accounts. 

## **Reserves** 

Unrestricted funds are needed to cover continual new works and property maintenance outgoings. In this direction and pursuant to previous stated intention, a new maintenance account was established in recent times.  The sixth full year of this account appears in this report.

Annual Report  -  Year ended 31 March 2021 

______________________________________________________________________________ 

The Trustees are continually conscious of the need to provide for funds for the upkeep of the Church Centre buildings and in this regard are constantly seeking innovative and new means of fundraising as has been mentioned earlier in this report. 

As was mentioned earlier in this report the receipts from hire of rooms etc was considerably reduced during the period albeit most of the other income areas remained steady.  There are currently 2 other Christian churches worshipping at our premises at the moment.  Other primary sources of income are received through means of voluntary giving by members and friends, various fund-raising efforts coupled with gift aid tax reclaim where this is possible. 

## **Future Plans** 

The matter relating to the roof over the church flat has still not been resolved.  In fact the situation is now such that the question is whether any work needs to be undertaken at all.  We await further developments on this matter.  The proposed lighting works mentioned in the previous report have been completed. 

These accounts were accepted and adopted 

By order of the Trustees

Basis of Ind¢pendent Examiner's statement
My examination was carrted out in accordance with General Directions of the Charity
Con]missioncrs, An examination includes a review of th¢ a¢counting records kept by
th¢ charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those r¢cords. It also
includes considerutiun of any unusual items or disclosures iu the fllwicial statements,
and seeking explanations conceming any such Matters. Th¢ procedures undertaken do
not piDvide all tlie evidence that would b¢ r¢quired in &udiL and consequently I do
