The review looks at the success of each key activity and the benefits they have brought to those groups of people we aim to serve.

LINCOLNSHIRE) (REGISTERED NUMBER: 06827030)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023


ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The established register of 'Family, Friends and Attendees' ensures the constituents of City Church are cared for by a network of small groups which regularly meet in-person in various venues throughout NE Lincolnshire.

Principle income sources are voluntary tithes & offerings, and Wiz Kidz SLA funding, these income streams have allowed the charity to carry out the various activities highlighted in this report.

Our 'Wiz Kidz' nursery has the capacity to offer 48 places and was designated as, 'Good' when inspected by OFSTED in January 2023.

City Church is an active member of the Ground Level Network of Churches, Churches Together in NE Lincolnshire. Our nursery works closely with NE Lincolnshire Council Early Years Support, the Local Nursery Managers Network, the East Marsh & Central Family Hubs, the NSPCC 'Together for Childhood' initiative, the local Childhood Development Centre, SALT (Speech & Language Therapy), Families First Information services and Family Health Practitioners who work under the umbrella of the Family Hubs, assisting with our Parenting Support and parent partnerships. In addition we work closely with the Neurodevelopmental Team at Navigo for SEND concerns as well as the Families First Access Point and Thirtyone:eight for safeguarding queries.

City Church has been actively involved in the support of several projects in the UK and overseas, including:
- The Ground Level network of churches
- Christian Action & Resource Enterprise, a local charity that is dedicated to relieving poverty, hardship, and distress, often around housing issues in NE Lincolnshire
- The Churches Together in NE Lincolnshire prayer initiative
- Safe Families - providing respite care & support for families in need in NE Lincolnshire
- Immingham Christian Centre
- The International Bible Training College, based in the UK
- The Basileia Bible School, based in the UK
- A schooling programme with Oasis of Hope Foundation UK, (formerly Colombia Childcare UK)
- Release International - working on behalf of the persecuted church around the world
- 'Jabulani' - children's home in Zimbabwe
- New Life Christian Mission - children's Home in Sri Lanka

City Church continues to run its twice monthly youth group called 'City Youth'. In addition our Kids team also facilitated a series of assemblies for New Waltham Academy & the Grange Primary School throughout the year.

In response to mental health and cost of living challenges in the local community, City Church has continued to run three initiatives, that also became 'Warm Spaces' over the winter months of 2023:
- 'Little Gems' - a weekly parent and toddler group
- 'The Brew Stop' - drop in
- 'Free to Be' - a weekly opportunity for adults of all ages to re-engage, have some fun together, chat, share and encourage each other in a very relaxed atmosphere.

We also ran our Alpha initiative, facilitating 1 course in the spring and 2 courses in the autumn of 2023, (to introduce Christianity to the general public), and ran a 24/7 prayer week. We have also been delighted to see a significant increase in the number of different nationalities joining the City Church family in 2023 and overall attendance at our main Sunday services saw an increase of 18% compared to 2022.

The work and activities of City Church is made possible with 8.6 full time equivalent paid staff and many hundreds of volunteer hours from the 'Family & Friends' of the church. There have been a number of key staff changes in the year due to retirement etc. Following a substantive staffing review a number of new staff appointments have been made.

The City Church Leadership Team continues to operate under delegated powers of the Directors. They have spiritual oversight, and make decisions, within the parameters of the vision and pre-set budgets of the church. The Wiz Kidz manager operates under delegated powers of the Directors and has responsibility for day-to-day management of the nursery within the designated budget.

City Church continues to operate from two sites in Grimsby:
1. Our centre on Freeman Street, incorporating offices and Wiz Kids nursery.
2. Our buildings on Chelmsford Avenue, used for our main church services and broadcasting our online services. And in 2023 we were able to complete the refurbishment of our creche & prayer area. Our Community Hall continues to be used for the benefit of our own church groups and local community groups.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Reserves policy
The Trustees have examined the Charity's requirement for reserves considering the main risks to the organisation. It has established a policy to endeavour to keep three months operating costs in reserves and an element for potential redundancy costs, totalling £133,000.

FINANCIAL POSITION
The Trustees normally meet eight times per year to review the financial position of the charity by monitoring actual income and expenditure and comparing to budget.

We are very thankful for the continued financial support of the church congregation throughout the year. In addition we are grateful for a grant of £2,080 received from Grantscape, (the first of two payments), towards salary costs for running our Little Gems Toddler Group. We were also very appreciative of a donation of concrete from Rouse Ready Mix Concrete and the donated services of Mark Hutton Builders Ltd for our refurbishment project.

The Trustees consider the financial position of the charity to be satisfactory. The Statement of Financial Activities shows income for the year ended 31 December, 2023 of £325,343 (2022- £309,967) and expenditure of £311,862 (2022- £319,799). Free reserves at the year-end amount to £219,930 (2022- £192,411) and are considered adequate to support the ongoing plans of the charity.

FUTURE PLANS
City Church is anticipating a year of continued growth building on the momentum of 2023. There are a number of staff changes taking place due to retirements etc. Having undertaken a full staffing review further new appointments will be made in 2024. We will continue to build upon and review our social action programs to ensure they remain relevant to the needs of the local area and that they are fit for purpose.

We will strengthen our relationships with the growing number of nationalities that now make up a significant percentage of the City Church congregation.

In considering our achievements, performance, and future plans; we are very grateful for the number of volunteers who make themselves available to facilitate the activities of City Church throughout the year.

The trustees (who are also the directors of City Church (Great Grimsby & North East Lincolnshire) for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to

-select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.

They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

CITY CHURCH (GREAT GRIMSBY & NORTH EAST
LINCOLNSHIRE)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023


1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by 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) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The charity has departed from the Charities SORP and FRS 102 in order to depreciate all freehold property at a rate of 2% on a straight line basis.

The treatment required by the Charities SORP and FRS 102 where an asset comprises of two or more major components is that each component should be depreciated separately over its useful life and that the value of land is not depreciated.

The trustees consider that depreciating all freehold property at a rate of 2% on a straight line basis reflects the value of the asset for the charity, and have concluded that the accounts present a true and fair view.

Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure
Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.


Freehold property - 2% Straight Line
Short leasehold - 4% Straight Line
Fixtures and fittings - 20% Reducing Balance

Fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost of minor additions of less than £500 are not capitalised.

Taxation
The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.
