Table Church Company limited by guarantee Trustees Report/ Directors Report Year ended 31[st] May 2025

The Trustees are pleased to present their sixth annual directors’ report together with the unaudited financial statements of the charity for the year ending 31[st] May 2025. 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:

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.

Table Church Company limited by guarantee Trustees Report/ Directors Report Year ended 31[st] May 2025

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:

Independent examiner’s report to the charity trustees of Table Church, Company limited by guarantee.

I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31[st] May 2025, which are set out on pages 7 to 15.

Respective responsibilities of charity trustees and examiner

As the charity trustees (and also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law, and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

Basis of independent examiner’s report

I have examined your charity accounts 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.

  3. That the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice CCNI ARR07 – supporting document 7 August 2016 applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland

Notes to the financial statements Year ended 31[st] May 2025

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

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:

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.

Table Church Company limited by guarantee

Notes to the financial statements Year ended 31[st] May 2025

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.

Continued…..

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.

11. Trustee and Staff Costs

One or more of the trustees has been paid remuneration or has received other benefits from an employment with the Charity.

One Trustee received remuneration during the year – the remuneration provided is in recognition of the additional duties undertaken by Mr D Spence in his role as Pastor of Table Church; his role as Pastor of the church requires him to spend a considerable amount of time each week preparing for weekly church services, attending meetings, leading study groups etc. The salary paid to Mr Spence during the year was £2,082 (2024; £5,211); no other benefits or pensions contributions were paid to, or on behalf of, Mr Spence. This remunerated role, as Pastor of Table Church, is in addition to the nonremunerated duties undertaken by Mr Spence as a trustee of the charity.
