_(Page 1)_| |---|---| Section B Structure, Governance & management The controlling charity document Icharity Number 7011331 was approved and established as the Scheme for the regulation of the Charity on 21, April 1983 this scheme also recognises the role of the 'Book of Discipline, of the Free Methodist Church of North America as amended from time to time Ilate5t version dated 2019 is available to read at htt freemethodist.or resources l The church is part of the GB Conference of the Free Methodist Church and is under the discipline of the Conference as described in the Book of Discipline. The Church members Ipartnersl elect the Official Church Board who are also the charity's trustees and as such are elected at the Annual Society IPartnersl Meeting and these, together with the Church employees engaged in ministry, form the Leadership Team. One of the elected Board of Trustees serves as the Church's Lay Delegate and as such represents the Church at the Annual Free Methodist UK Conference. Section C Trustees Annual Report for the year 2022 King's Church began to meet in person, whilst continuing to broadcast service on YouTube for those unable to attend, throughout 2022. We are thankful to our Service and worship leaders who work on a rota basis and to our IT team for making this possible. Life groups (house groups) have been re-established following covid. There are 4 evening groups and one day time group, as well as a group for Chinese ex-students and friends of King's Church that meets on Zoom. We have also begun to refocus our mission program around invitational events. The first of which was well attended on Pancake Day 2022. Invitation and welcome have been the focus for church growth throughout the year. The pastoral committee meet monthly, in person or on Zoom during the year, to keep the needs of members in mind and flag up needs for pastoral care. Meetings in the School were sparsely attended over Christmas 2021, but have grown over the year. Many more now attend in person than online. IA united open-air service was held in the park with the other local churches on Penwortham gala day.) The King's Church job club celebrated their IO, anniversary. We have run the steps to employment course and the CAP money course. The relationship with the job centre continues to be strong. The Toddlers has continued running on Fridays though it now runs one session 9.30 to 11 rather than the 2 sessions pre covid19. The Friday evening Children's and Youth club also reopened and have been growing steadily, with up to 30 children and 15 youth attending. The Trustees continued to meet each quarter as a Full board of trustees and, as Mission and Vision Team IMVTI and Church Action team ICATI, monthly. The meetings follow the new governance structure agreed in 2018. In addition, the Church Nominations Team met to identify persons suitable for serving on the Church Leadership Team and to fill any vacancies on the board of trustees. Meetings for prayer are held in small groups (Tripletsl and on a Sunday evening. They were often held outdoors in gardens in the summer months. A leader's prayer meeting has been established. Global links (Our overseas support and giving arml held several Zoom meetings with overseas partners, as well as inviting preachers we are linked with to participate in Sunday services. Page 2 It has been a challenging year but we are gathering again after covid and all the community and mission arms of the church are functioning again. A large proportion of the membership is involved in the mission and ministry of the church.. from visiting the sic- to helping run job club, parents and toddlers, youth and kids clubs- to visiting asylum seekers,. and participating in the Sunday service. Now that the church is meeting regularly at the Priory Academy, we find that the number of regular attenders is about 75% of the amount attending before Covid19. We continue to offer an online, as well as a physical worship service, for those who cannot attend. Section D Review of Community Benefits Three of our people regularly help with the food bank. One of our members chairs the Churches Together meetings. The CAP job club continued to its "steps to employment" eight-week course, offering 4 full courses as well as the CAP money course throughout the year. The ministry to asylum seekers continues with home visits and help with English and form filling. The international students Eroup continued on Teams, thouEh online connections with students abroad were often difficult. At Christmas our choir sang Carols at the annual street market, and members went Carol singing at a local residential home. Community groups such as Youth Club, Children's Club and pre-school have grown throughout the year. A monthly women's friendship and craft event has been successfully started. Section E Review of risk managements As the church uses a local High School for its Sunday services, rather than a purpose-built building of our own, we work closely with the school property manager, to ensure all aspects of safety VSV covid and general security. There is a fire evacuation plan in place and a fire drill is carried out annually. We keep our risk assessment current with the school and the Town council. We have liaised with the school to ensure safe protocols for public worship. The Trustees are aware of risks and take appropriate steps to control these risks and mitigate any impact they might have, including where mandated the wearing of masks, social distancing and hand sanitising. Insurance policies for the equipment stored at various locations are in place and reviewed from time to time to ensure that valuables are insured adequately. Changes in the assets are also examined to ensure that the insurances are correctly set. All people working with children and vulnerable adults have DBS clearance (renewed every three years) and this is complemented by our safeguarding policy. Budgetary control is actively pursued by preparing an annual budEet and by studying the monthly financial statements prepared by the treasurer. When necessary, spending controls are introduced in addition to regular controls to keep spending within budget.

Incoming resources from tax claims are included on the SOFA at the same time as the gifts to which they relate. ## **EXPENDITURE AND LIABILITIES** Liabilities are recognised as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources. Governance costs include payments to FMC (UK), insurance and the costs of the preparation and examination of statutory accounts. ## **ASSETS** Tangible fixed assets have this year been capitalised if they can be used for more than one year. They are valued at cost less provision for depreciation over a 4 year period. Several small items of equipment have been treated as revenue expenses and included in Pastoral Expenses ## **2 ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES** The charity does not have any material commitments not provided for in the accounts. The charity has not given any guarantees to third parties that could be called on at year end Sufficient resources are held in an appropriate form to enable each fund to be applied in accordance with the restrictions imposed. ## **3 FRS 102** The accounts have been prepared on an income and expenditure basis in accordance with Financial Reporting for Small Entities (FRS 102) as directed from 1st January 2016. _(Page 10)_ Pe￿￿'Orth￿Th Fret Trltthodist Church eDdent E%anJin¢r' s ort to the Trustees of Penworthxm Free Thlethodist Chiirch Inde We reNrt on the accAiunts (Jt thc charAty t'or the Ye￿ end￿ 31 December 2022 set orj pagei 1106.
