Table Church Company limited by guarantee Trustees Report/ Directors Report Year ended 31[st] May 2024
The Trustees are pleased to present their sixth annual directors’ report together with the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ending 31st May 2024. This report has also been prepared to meet with the requirements for a directors report and accounts for the purposes of the Companies Act.
The Directors/ Trustees who served during the year were as follows: Mr David Spence Dr Ashley Craig Mr Stefan Kennedy (resigned 21[st] September 2023) Mr Danial Latimer (appointed 13[th] March 2024)
Risk Management
The trustees actively review any major risks, which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining a certain level of cash reserves will be important for the financial security of the charity; when combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems, the directors believe that this will provide sufficient resources for the incoming year. The trustees have also examined other operational and business risks faced by the Charity and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the most significant risks.
Overview of Table Church
The purpose of Table Church is to (i) to advance the Christian religion for the benefit of the public in the area of benefit in accordance with the statements of belief appearing in the schedule; (ii) to promote the benefit of the inhabitants of the Tandragee particularly, and NI generally (hereinafter called "the area of benefit") without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, race or political, religious or other opinion by establishing a place of worship for the Christian religion; (iii) the advancement of the Christian religion mainly, but not exclusively, by means of broadcasting Christian messages of an evangelistic and teaching nature; (iv) To advance the Christian religion in the area of benefit for the benefit of the public through the holding of prayer meetings, lectures, producing and/or distributing literature on the Christian religion to enlighten others about the Christian religion; (v) providing services of worship, religious teaching, facilities or services to allow believers to practice their faith or follow its doctrines, producing or making available literature explaining the doctrines involved and how to find out more about them Distribution of sacred texts in the area of benefit; and, (vi) associating together the said inhabitants and the local authorities voluntary and other organisations in the area of benefit in a common effort to relieve poverty and advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of welfare for the recreation and leisure-time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants.
The direct benefits flowing from our purposes include the facilitation of regular public worship, that provides for the spiritual wellbeing of society and educates and encourages people in their Christian faith through Bible teaching, prayer and worship. The outcome of putting Christian teaching into practice will be the adoption of a moral framework which encourages people to be good citizens and will also result in increased family stability. Our local community will benefit as we aim to deal with issues of addiction and sexual exploitation through services and events held at our centre and in other locations. We aim to alleviate those in poverty through the establishment of a hardship fund. Another direct benefit is the education of members of the community regarding the Christian faith and life. The welfare of the local community will be improved as we provide facilities for recreation and socialising. These benefits are demonstrated by the members of the public who attend our weekly worship gatherings and other events, and the feedback they provide. Another indication of these benefits is the reduction in, and prevention of, addiction and associated behaviour, as well as feedback from those whose hardships have been alleviated. The enhanced welfare of the local community is evidenced by people participating in recreational and social activities that provide an alternative to isolation or anti-social

behaviour and lead to an improvement in social, emotional and physical wellbeing of participants. There is no harm arising from the purposes of Table Church.
The charity’s beneficiaries are the inhabitants of Tandragee particularly and Northern Ireland generally. Currently there is no private benefit flowing from any of our purposes. Due to continued growth of the church and the concomitant benefits to the local community it was necessary to recruit a part-time Pastor/ teacher (see note 11 and 12 for further details).
The Trustees have had regard to the Northern Ireland Charity Commission's Public benefit requirements, as demonstrated though the following overview of the years activities:

Notes to the financial statements Year ended 31[st] May 2024
1. Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Accounting and Reporting Charities: 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 (FRS 102 1A) (effective January 2015) – Charities SORP (FRS 102)).
Going Concern
The Trustees are of the view that the continued operation of the charity is ensured and on the basis of their regular review of income and expenditure, and their routine cash-flows. On this basis they have determined the charity to be a going concern.
Fund Accounting
General Funds are Unrestricted Funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in the furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Designated Funds comprise Unrestricted Funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for a particular purpose.
Restricted Funds are funds that are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions as imposed by the donor/s, or which have been raised by the charity for a particular purpose.
Income Recognition Policy
-
Items of income are recognised and included in the accounts when all of the following criteria are met :
-
The charity is entitled to the funds
-
Any performance conditions attached to the item of income has been met or are fully within the control of the charity
-
There is sufficient certainty that the receipt of the income is considered probable; and
-
The amount can be measured reliably
Donated Services and facilities
In accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102), the general volunteer time of supporters is not recognised.
Expenditure and irrecoverable VAT
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to make a payment to a third party, it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified under the following activity headings:
-
Expenditure on charitable activities includes the purchase of foodstuff for delivery to those in need
-
Other Expenditure represents those items not falling into any other heading
The charity is not registered for VAT; all VAT incurred on purchases is therefore irrecoverable. The cost inclusive of VAT is therefore charged to the income and expenditure account against the activity for which the expenditure was incurred.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and are subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

Notes to the financial statements Year ended 31[st] May 2024
Continued…..
An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in capital and reserves, except to the extent it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in profit or loss. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation is recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent of any previously recognised revaluation increase accumulated in capital and reserves in respect of that asset. Where a revaluation decrease exceeds the accumulated revaluation gains accumulated in capital and reserves in respect of that asset, the excess shall be recognised in profit or loss.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
If there is an indication that there has been a significant change in depreciation rate, useful life or residual value of tangible assets, the depreciation is revised prospectively to reflect the new estimates.
Impairment
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
Stocks
Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable. Grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the company will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received.
Government grants are recognised using the accrual model and the performance model.
Under the accrual model, government grants relating to revenue are recognised on a systematic basis over the periods in which the company recognises the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate. Grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the entity with no future related costs are recognised in income in the period in which it becomes receivable.
Grants relating to assets are recognised in income on a systematic basis over the expected useful life of the asset. Where part of a grant relating to an asset is deferred, it is recognised as deferred income and not deducted from the carrying amount of the asset.
Under the performance model, where the grant does not impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable. Where the grant does impose specified future performance-related conditions on the recipient, it is recognised in income only when the performance-related conditions have been met. Where grants received are prior to satisfying the revenue recognition criteria, they are recognised as a liability.

Financial instruments
A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Debt instruments are subsequently measured at amortised cost.
Where investments in non-convertible preference shares and non-puttable ordinary shares or preference shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably, the investment is subsequently measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. All other such investments are subsequently measured at cost less impairment.
Other financial instruments, including derivatives, are initially recognised at fair value, unless payment for an asset is deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate, in which case the asset is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Other financial instruments are subsequently measured at fair value, with any changes recognised in profit or loss, with the exception of hedging instruments in a designated hedging relationship.
Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.
For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets or either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.
Any reversals of impairment are recognised in profit or loss immediately, to the extent that the reversal does not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised.

Other than those disclosed in the accounts, the company has not entered into any transactions or has balances outstanding involving myself, officers or other related parties, which require disclosure under the Companies Act or FRS 105.
-
I acknowledge our responsibility for the design and implementation of internal controls to prevent and detect errors or fraud. I am unaware of any irregularities, including fraud and suspected fraud.
-
I am unaware of any breaches or possible breaches of statute, regulations, contracts, agreements or the company's memorandum and articles of association which might result in the company suffering significant penalties or other loss.
-
The accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis as I believe that adequate cash resources will be available to cover the company’s requirements for working capital and capital expenditure for at least the next twelve months. I am not aware of any other factors which could put into jeopardy the company’s going concern status during or beyond this period.
-
There have been no events since the balance sheet date which necessitate revision of the figures included in the accounts or inclusion of a note thereto. Should further material events occur, which may necessitate revision of the figures included in the accounts or inclusion of a note thereto, I will advise you accordingly.

I confirm that after the accountant’s report has been signed, I will circulate a copy of our accounts to every member of the company, every holder of the company’s debentures and every other person entitled to receive notice of general meetings, as required by section 423, Companies Act 2006.
-
I confirm that as the company meets the criteria for audit exemption and I, on behalf of the board of directors, wish to take advantage of this exemption. The shareholders have not requested that an audit is undertaken. I acknowledge that the work performed by you is substantially less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and that you do not express an audit opinion.
-
I confirm that we have prepared abridged accounts in accordance with the provisions available to small companies. I confirm that the necessary approval from all shareholders has been obtained.
