Report of the Trustees |
for the Year Ended 31 March 2023 |
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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). |
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES |
Objectives and aims |
The principle objects of the charity are: |
- to advance the Christian faith, |
- to relieve sickness and financial hardship and to promote and preserve good health, and |
- to advance education |
The trustees and director teams follow a principle objective of the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and in addition provide a facility for people to meet to worship and praise God, to stand alongside people as they grow as individual Christians, and to encourage fellowship. |
Charitable activities introduction |
Following the ending of the pandemic and Lockdowns, the Elders and Directors decided to continue streaming services in a more permanent hybrid arrangement. Whilst numbers were still a little down in our Sunday meetings, more church members returned but some still appreciated the opportunity to stay at home and watch online. Community hubs formed in the pandemic, mainly facilitated through WhatsApp continue to be used to facilitate regular contact and support throughout the Church family. |
Church Leadership/Staff Team |
ACC continued to follow a revised leadership structure based on a shared leadership model. Staff Elders and a Staff Director met regularly, joint Elders/Directors meetings and 'Away-day' sessions were also scheduled throughout the year, with external training and input included. The Staff team continues to be strong, monthly meetings take place with an away day once a year. |
Public benefit |
The trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to Charity Commission guidance on public benefit in deciding what activities to undertake and are described below. |

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE |
Charitable activities |
Review of Local Missions and Community Activities |
ACC focused activities mainly on the local community throughout the year. ACC endeavored to engage where it is possible. The range of community related activities included support for local individuals and families, working in conjunction with Hawbush Community Gardens, the Brierley Hill Project and with several schools locally. |
Children & Families |
Sunday morning groups for children aged 0-14 ran as normal. The weekly Tots group for local parents and toddlers ran weekly in the term time and saw around 20 children attending each week. |
The family outreach team ran seven free events for families on Hawbush including a party for the Queen's Jubilee and a Christmas Wonderland, all on Hawbush Community Gardens and providing food and activities. Many of these events were run in partnership with other organisations including EKHO collective and Top Church Training. ACC were also involved in conversations and plans to renovate the building and create a playground at Hawbush Community Gardens. ACC also ran an Easter, Summer and Christmas lunch club (in total 6 days of provision) in partnership with Dudley Council for Voluntary Services offering the Dudley Holiday Activity Fun (HAF) program. This program encourages eligible children to access a variety of family sessions at no cost. These include healthy eating, organised activities, and sports. |
The family outreach team launched monthly parent coffee mornings at Hawbush school in September 2022. These ran until Jan 2023 but had to be put on pause while we reviewed the venue for them. The team also ran a Family Light Party in October 2022 and a Pancake party in March 2023. |
ACC provided an in-house Christmas meal where people could meet who may be spending alone over Christmas. ACC partnered with Black Country Food Bank to provide meal bags for local families including all the ingredients for a meal and instructions to cook it. The Christingle went ahead and Saltmine Theatre Company performed the production 'Neverland' in December. |
Youth |
Regular youth Sunday morning sessions continued, Lads and Girls group continued to meet in term time and the Young leaders program was put on pause. Connect group was launched for 11-16 year olds and ran monthly with food and activities to help young people to connect with one another and the leaders. |
In the summer of 2022, the youth department went through a transition period from being run by a full time paid youth worker to being run mostly by volunteers. The yearly mission week ran in the summer where young people made good relationships and helped the community through gardening, litter picking, painting and more. |
Supporting Work in the Dudley Borough & Nationally |
Members of the Staff Team and volunteers continued to be involved in wider Dudley Borough activities, including Leaders Networks, Charity and Voluntary sector meetings, and representation on statutory sector partnerships working groups. Staff members are also involved in Love Black Country, a network that works to unite the Church of the Black Country in support, mission and transformation. Many of these groups were able to start meeting face to face during this time and momentum is building again. |
Black Country Food Bank continued to receive support with food donations and regular financial giving. |
Brierley Hill Project (BHP) - (targeted life support and mentoring) ACC has continued to support BHP in many ways including regular financial support, volunteers, and regular input for the team based there. |
AMBLECOTE COMMUNITY CHURCH (Registered number: 07005276) |
Report of the Trustees |
for the Year Ended 31 March 2023 |
Transforming Lives for Good (TLG) - We have decided to pause this partnership for a season as other areas have taken priority. |
UK Charity - Safe Families for Children - Several of our church family have continued to support the charity as volunteers, signing up to be Family Friends, Resource Friends, and Host Families. |
British Youth for Christ (YFC) - ACC's commitment to supporting YFC year out programme continued. However, YFC are going through some internal discussions and reviewing the future so we anticipate some changes in the future. |
ACC Year Out Programme - This was established and ran from September 2022 and is planned until July 2023. We have several young people signed up and one of our staff team is going to run it. |
International Mission Activities |
ACC's support continues to grow in the form of one off and regular financial gifts, for mission activity overseas primarily in Kenya. During this financial year there was a "mission" trip to two of the projects we support where several of our members went across to visit and report back. |
Open Doors National Charity - ACC has continued to give regular financial and prayer support to the persecuted church worldwide by being a partner church. |
Representing our Faith Community Politically |
ACC church family members continued to be actively involved in ensuring our faith communities' views are heard and valued at a local and national political level. This is one of the core values. |
Summary of Other Developments/Investments |
Investment in Older Generation - As mentioned in last year's report, a part time person was appointed to the staff team to head up this work with the older generation. This has been a great success and we have seen several initiatives start which has strengthened but also brought diversification to this group. |
Investment in ACC Leaders - ACC continued to help fund part time Theological Study for ACC's children's worker and one of the staff elders. |
Building and Maintenance - The building is in good repair so apart from regular general maintenance and small tweaks we have no plans for any larger improvements. |
Finance - Over the year there has been little change in the investment arrangements from the previous year's reporting. |
Little Hands Day Nursery - We continue to have a good working relationship with the nursery owners. They maintain their spaces to a high standard, and we keep the financial arrangement under review with the escalation of costs. |
FINANCIAL REVIEW |
Financial position |
There is a deficit of income over expenditure for the year amounting to £44,323 (2022 £97 surplus). |
Unrestricted funds totalling £533,487 (2022 £570,656) and restricted funds of £13,308 (2022 £20,462), gave an overall funds total of £546,795 (2022 £591,118). |
Principal funding sources |
Most finances required to fund the activities were raised through regular giving and one-off donations from church members, supplemented by the refund of income tax from HM Revenue & Customs through the Gift Aid scheme. We also have the rent from Little Hands that is a significant amount. |

FINANCIAL REVIEW |
Reserves policy |
The ACC Reserves policy has two main objectives: |
1) To ensure that there are adequate buffer funds to allow ACC operations to continue in the short term in the event that its income stream is unexpectedly interrupted. Ordinarily ACC will aim to retain approximately £25,000 in accessible reserves. The Directors may agree to permanently or temporarily suspend this level as necessary. |
2) To generate sufficient funds to allow investments that secure ACC operations into the future. Any amounts over the agreed of buffer funds will be available for investments, which are intended to maintain and develop ACC operations. All investments with be consistent with ACC values. |
The amount of unrestricted reserves not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets (the 'free' reserves) held at |
31 March 2023 was £90,635 (2022 £115,117) |
Restricted funds are disclosed in note 11 |
FUTURE PLANS |
Staff Team - We anticipate some changes in the staff team as we continue to keep things as lean as possible. We will continue to maximize the team's time and look at diversification of their roles where the use of their skills can take place, while also delivering their assigned roles. |
Future Vision for Mission, Poor-Care, and Social Enterprise - Due to the challenges in the current climate action in these areas has been difficult, however we are committed to keep monitoring all these areas and to continue to be as generous as we can be in mission and poor-care as we are aware many Charites and individuals are struggling in these times. |
Children's and Families - There are plans to restart the coffee mornings in Autumn 2023 but combine them with older generation work. The team is also planning to run a family alpha weekend in Autumn 2023. |
The Tots team are also exploring moving Tots to partner with Brierley Hill Methodist Church. |
Youth - There are plans to form a youth leadership team that will oversee the youth activities and support the volunteers. There are plans to increase the regularity of connect to twice a month. Mission is planned to go ahead in August 2023 and plans to relaunch the Young Leaders program. |
