## **The Journey Church TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT** 

for the financial year ended 31 March 2024 

The trustees present their Trustees' Annual Report, combining the Directors' Report and Trustees' Report, and the unaudited financial statements for the financial year ended 31 March 2024. 

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their financial statements in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

The Trustees' Report contains the information required to be provided in the Trustees' Annual Report under the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) guidelines. The trustees of the charity are also charity trustees for the purpose of charity law and under the charity's constitution are known as members of the board of trustees. 

In this report the trustees of The Journey Church present a summary of its purpose, governance, activities, achievements and finances for the financial year 31 March 2024. 

The charity is a registered charity and hence the report and results are presented in a form which complies with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and, although not obliged to comply with the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland FRS 102, the organisation has implemented its recommendations where relevant in these financial statements. 

## **Mission, Objectives and Strategy** 

## **Mission Statement** 

The charity aims to teach the values outlined within the Bible to better improve people’s lives and give them an opportunity to put their trust in God. The charity aims to provide a regular place of worship with a sense of community and belonging for its people. It also provides activities for children and young children. 

## **Objectives** 

The charity aims to work locally with all sections of the community, building relationships, sharing, and demonstrating the love of God. The charity is currently partnering with Lisburn Foodbank which is an organisation founded by local churches and community groups, working together towards stopping hunger in our local area. The Journey Church have been supporting the foodbank now over several years, through seasonal collections and now has a daily drop off point in the café entrance. 

All these activities are run by volunteers, apart from the church teaching and pastoral care, The church employed Aaron Molesky as a part time temporary pastor within the organisation with employment ending on 31st March 2024. The charity also has a part-time worship and music coordinator, training, and equipping others in leading worship and playing instruments. The charity also employs a part time administrator to assist with the administration of the church and to provide support to the leadership team in coordination and communication of the activities happening within church and through the other community services. 

## **Strategy** 

Our Happy Days soft play venture has been operating for 2 years and has been an amazing way to connect with the local community. This year the café underwent some renovations to improve the facilities we offer and increase the capacity available for customers. 

Multiple spaces in the church building are used for groups to gather. A craft group runs one morning a week which has been a regular opportunity for women of all ages to gather and enjoy company over their crafts. There are also multiple exercise classes running in the church building during the week both free and private hire bookings, which is seeing many new people engage with the church services and other activities. 

The charity also supports missionaries in Spain, Serbia, Italy and Republic of Ireland. The charity aimed to have over one hundred regular attendees in worship services each week. Attendance has increased in the past year and the charity continues to improve its excellent facilities.

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

## **Structure** 

The trustees also act as directors for the charity. The charity has a joint leadership team made up of the three directors. They each have equal responsibility, authority, and power in decision-making. When a unanimous decision cannot be achieved, a majority decision is reached. Within the context of the journey church these three directors serve as leaders and are responsible for all decision-making along with the wider church leadership team. 

The Journey Church has a memorandum and articles of association, the charity is constituted as a limited company by guarantee. 

## **Governance** 

All trustees must pass strict criteria, they must be above reproach, have a good reputation and be responsible with money. Outgoing Trustees must unanimously agree when appointing new trustees. 

All risks posed to the charity are covered by professional indemnity insurance. All appropriate procedures and systems are in place to ensure that the criteria are always met to comply with insurance policies. The charity has a safeguarding policy in place for working with children and vulnerable adults. All volunteers within the charity are appropriately vetted. 

## **Financial Review** 

The results for the financial year are set out on page 8 and additional notes are provided showing income and expenditure in greater detail on page 16. 

The charity has a healthy cash flow and has no outstanding debts. The majority of the charity’s income comes through donations from church members. A sizable amount of the charity's money is set aside for local compassion work and overseas mission work. 

## **Results and Dividends** 

At the end of the financial year the charity has assets of £653,781 (2023 - £665,556) and liabilities of £2,022 (2023 - £497). The net assets of the charity have decreased by £(13,300). 

The charity is keen to expand its work in the heart of the local community. A major part of this work will include increasing awareness of the services offered at the church through links counselling service and continuing to build and grow partnership with local community groups such as the Resurgam centre in one of the neighbouring estates. We also plan to continue expanding the services we are able to offer the local community through Happy Days that respond to the needs required.

## **The Journey Church STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** 

for the financial year ended 31 March 2024 

The trustees, who are also directors of The Journey Church for the purposes of company law, are responsible for preparing the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. 

Company law requires the trustees as the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law) including FRS102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland". Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the net income or expenditure of the charity for that period. 

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the relevant financial reporting framework, identify those standards, and note the effect and the reasons for any material departure from those standards; 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 confirm that they have complied with the above requirements in preparing the financial statements. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and 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 Companies Act 2006. 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.

## **The Journey Church INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE JOURNEY CHURCH** 

I have examined the financial statements of the charity for the financial year ended 31 March 2024, which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities (incorporating an Income and Expenditure Account), the Balance Sheet and the related notes. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity's trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this financial year under Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and that an independent examination is required. 

## It is my responsibility to: 

examine the financial statements under section 65 of the Charities Act; 

follow the procedures laid down by the general Directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act; and 

state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner's report** 

I have examined your charity financial statements as required under section 65 of the Charities Act and my examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements and seeking explanations from the 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. 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 the financial statements do not accord with those accounting records 

the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) 

there is further information needed for a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

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 financial statements to be reached.

**The Journey Church NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** for the financial year ended 31 March 2024 

## **1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES** 

The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to the charity’s financial statements. 

## **Basis of preparation** 

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "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". 

## **Statement of compliance** 

The financial statements of the charity for the financial year ended 31 March 2024 have been prepared on the going concern basis and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "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". 

## **Cash flow statement** 

The charity has availed of the exemption in FRS 102 from the requirement to produce a cash flow statement because it is classified as a small charity. 

## **Fund accounting** 

The following are the categories of funds maintained: 

## **Restricted funds** 

Restricted funds represent income received which can only be used for particular purposes, as specified by the donors. Such purposes are within the overall objectives of the charity. 

## **Unrestricted funds** 

Unrestricted funds consist of General funds. 

General funds represent amounts which are expendable at the discretion of the board, in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. 

## **Income** 

Income is recognised by inclusion in the Statement of Financial Activities only when the charity is legally entitled to the income, performance conditions attached to the item(s) of income have been met, the amounts involved can be measured with sufficient reliability and it is probable that the income will be received by the charity. 

## **Expenditure** 

Expenditure is analysed between costs of charitable activities and raising funds. The costs of each activity are separately accumulated and disclosed, and analysed according to their major components. Expenditure is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, a transfer of economic benefits is required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be reliably measured. Support costs are those functions that assist the work of the charity but cannot be attributed to one activity. Such costs are allocated to activities in proportion to staff time spent or other suitable measure for each activity. 

## **Tangible fixed assets and depreciation** 

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost or at valuation, less accumulated depreciation. The charge to depreciation is calculated to write off the original cost or valuation of tangible fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives as follows: 

- Land and buildings freehold Not depreciated - Improvement to property 10% on reducing balance - Fixtures, fittings and equipment 15% on reducing balance

Income recognised by the charity from government agencies and other co-funders, but not yet received at financial year end, is included in debtors. 

## **Cash at bank and in hand** 

Cash at bank and in hand comprises cash on deposit at banks requiring less than three months notice of withdrawal.
