DIVINE_HEALING_MISSION_(H - Accounts

The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2022.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the financial statements and comply with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and "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)".

The purpose of the company is that of the legal entity of the Divine Healing Mission, which operates under the name of Crowhurst Christian Healing Centre ("CCHC").

The Mission of CCHC, as written in the Declaration of Trust dated thirty-first day of March 1960 made by Reverend S M Wickham and Reverend G L J Bennett is as follows:

1. to proclaim to all men everywhere the unchanging Will and power of God to heal through his son Jesus today as of old.

2. to make humble and loyal use off every means of divine healing instituted and commanded by our Lord i.e. the prayer of faith, the sacrament of holy communion, anointing with holy oil, laying on of hands, whereby the power of God is made available for the deliverance of mankind from evil bondage and affliction.

3. to enable sufferers to receive the benefit of spiritual help rest and quiet in the proper surroundings and to this end retain central and suitable headquarters and generally to have full power to purchase sell mortgage lease or otherwise deal with the land and to erect pull down alter or otherwise deal with buildings thereon.

This is explained to our supporters by the following statement:

CCHC has a vision to advance the Kingdom of God. This vision is fulfilled by:

• Continuing the healing, preaching and teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ worldwide;

• Providing a non denominational residential space where people can be loved by God;

• Using our resources to encourage and teach people to grow in the power of the Holy Spirit.

The activities of the charity continued to be influenced by the demands of the Covid 19 protocol, updated as circumstances required, but the following were undertaken during the year:

• Healing services, now called 22:2 to highlight God's vision for the healing of the nations (see Revelation 22:1-3), were held throughout the year, with visitors on site abiding by social distancing guidelines;

• Healing services continued to be shown via Facebook and on You tube;

• Residential bookings were taken as soon as it was deemed safe to do so;

• Prayer ministry was provided in the new Tent of Meeting in the garden, constructed using the funds received from an appeal for this purpose;

• Food, drink and hospitality were provided in Howards Well café to all comers;

• Guided Quiet Days, Guided retreats and other courses were provided at CCHC for those who wished to visit, and online for those who preferred to watch at home, led by the chaplains;

• A daily online meditation on the book of Proverbs was given in January to start the new year, and a series of online daily reflections ran through Lent called 'Lent in a minute';

• The 'Revive' newsletter was published 10 times during the year and distributed by post and electronic mail;

• Trustee, Management, and Team Meetings were held in person where feasible, or by zoom for those unable to be present.

Public benefit

The charity has paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake.

• With the Covid protocol updated regularly through the year, the Centre was open to guests between May and December 2021, and for February and March 2022. Residential guests, church groups, and day visitors were all welcomed.

• 'Howards Well' continued to grow and flourish through the year, operating on the patio, and in the lounge and dining room;

• Prayer with one of the dedicated team of chaplains was available every day to anyone who requested it;

• In spite of the continuing challenges, the financial position of the charity has been maintained. We thank God for his generosity and grace in helping us to achieve this.

• Much maintenance and redecoration of the public spaces was carried out during the month of January 2022, while the house was closed to guests. This period was also used by staff to take much of the extensive holiday entitlement that had accrued during the period when furlough was being paid.

This year' financial situation has been severely affected by the Covid pandemic. The income from charitable activities is still significantly below pre-pandemic levels. Most staff were on furlough during some part of the year and worked in rotation according to the demand. Not all staff were needed every day.

The Government Job Retention Scheme (JRS) lasted until the end of September, for which we were very grateful. JRS payments, together with government grants and other donations have played a vital role in keeping CCHC solvent during the year. We are grateful to God for his faithful provision, and we continue to look to Him in faith and trust for the Charity's future financial provision.

Reserves

The Trust is dependent on Almighty God for support. As a matter of good practice it is the intention to hold a minimum of 3 months fixed operating expenses as a reserve calculated to be approximately £100,000. Funds in excess of that requirement will be deposited with institutions to obtain the best savings rates available (within the FSCS protection).

The Leadership Team consisting of the Senior Chaplain, the Chaplain with Centre oversight and the Administration Manager has effectively managed the charity during the year. The Administration and Media Departments operated to ensure the activities of the Centre and the online presence were treated equally and complemented each other.

The Trustees of the Divine Healing Mission are the members of the Company and serve as the Directors. Only the Trustees are eligible to be members. There were four meetings of Trustees during the year by zoom at which the affairs of the Company were discussed. There were also two meetings at which the Trustees and Chaplains prayerfully considered the future vision of the charity, with some personnel attending in person, some by zoom.

The Trustees, who are also the directors for the purpose of company law, and who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were:

Risk Management

• Health and safety monitoring and checks were carried out during the year as necessary. Covid risk assessments were reviewed and updated as required and published on the website.

• Fire inspections were carried out regularly.

• The safeguarding policies have been kept under review and are published on the website. Relevant personnel have attended training courses online.

• The organisation remains compliant with relevant GDPR data protection legislation.

• The staff handbook has been kept updated as policies are reviewed.

People

• The Senior Chaplain and his wife will take their sabbatical in May - July this year and the Centre Chaplain will take on the role of Acting Senior Chaplain during this period.

Affiliations/Related Organizations

CCHC continues to liaise with organizations in the area that have similar interests and aims. The Senior Chaplain, his wife and the Chaplain with Centre oversight attended the Christian Healing UK annual conference in person this year to share experiences with staff and trustees in similar organizations.

The Future

The Trustees and Leadership team continue to wait upon God for his direction. The UK is now living with Covid and the guidance for visitors who wish to attend CCHC is to be considerate of other users. A programme of events has been published, but it remains constantly under review.

Prayer by the dedicated team of chaplains in person with visitors at the Centre retains a central place in how CCHC fulfils its purpose and mission, and ensuring the daily rhythm of prayer is maintained allows the people who come to this safe place to find God. Many of the guests testify that the presence of God is tangibly experienced through worship, ministry and hospitality at CCHC and our role is to help all our visitors to share in that experience.

We believe the future of CCHC is safe under God's authority and we will seek the leading of the Holy Spirit in all we plan to do.

The Trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees.

I report to the Trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Divine Healing Mission (Holdings) Limited (the charity) for the year ended 31 March 2022.

As the Trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (the 2006 Act).

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements of the charity are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Since the charity’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

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 statement of financial activities includes all gains and losses recognised in the year.

All income and expenditure derive from continuing activities.

The company is entitled to the exemption from the audit requirement contained in section 477 of the Companies Act 2006, for the year ended 31 March 2022.

The directors acknowledge their responsibilities for complying with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 with respect to accounting records and the preparation of financial statements.

The members have not required the company to obtain an audit of its financial statements for the year in question in accordance with section 476.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.

Divine Healing Mission (Holdings) Limited is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is The Old Rectory, Crowhurst, Battle, East Sussex, TN33 9AD.

The members of the company are the Trustees named on page 2. In the event of the company becoming wound up the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £5 per member.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Companies Act 2006 and "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)". The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

At the date of this report, there still remains some uncertainty regarding the long term impact of the Coronavirus and the economic consequences, both within the U.K. and overseas, which may result from government policies to contain the spread. Whilst we are still unable to predict what further government policies may be and their impact on the Charities future, we have reserves in hand and therefore continue to use the going concern basis as appropriate in the preparation of these accounts.

General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustee in furtherance of the general objectives of the company and which have not been designated for other purposes.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the Trustees for particular purposes. The aim and use of each designated fund is set out in the notes to the financial statements.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt. Other donations and grants are recognised once the charity has been notified of the donation, unless performance conditions require deferral of the amount. Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Liabilities are recognised when a constructive obligation exists, the payment is probable and the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably.

Resources expended are allocated to the particular cost centre to which they relate and include irrecoverable VAT.

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following basis:

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the statement of financial activities.

In the opinion of the Trustees there is no need to provide for depreciation of the Freehold land and buildings as its market value is well in excess of the historical book cost.

Assets costing more than £1,000 are capitalised.

At each reporting end date, the charity reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the charity's balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and bank loans are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the charity’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the Trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
