TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The Trustees of RICC present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025
Objects of the Charity:
To advance Christian beliefs and help alleviate poverty, hardship, and distress in the most pragmatic manner possible without compromising the Christian ideals for the benefit and interest of the public.
Activities and Achievements
RICC’s main activities include a weekly Sunday service, a midweek (Wednesday) prayer meeting, and weekly Tuesday Bible studies via Zoom. The church makes small benevolence payments to individuals (subject to the availability of funds and the priority of need) and undertakes missionary work in the UK, Africa, and the Caribbean. The church’s outreach team regularly runs food and clothes bank distributions and hot plate feeding/soup kitchen services from its registered premises for the benefit of the public. The church continues to participate in community evangelism and advocacy, in collaboration with other local churches in Croydon, to benefit the public and our immediate community. The church runs a successful remedial youth ministry, Christian counselling, and mediation programmes. After successfully running a vibrant Bible School for over ten years and graduating over 500 students with Diplomas in Bible Ministry, who are now serving as leaders/mentors in various capacities in our communities, the church has changed the dynamics of the Bible School. It is now called Bible Studies, making it accessible to everyone interested in studying and having a deeper understanding of the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Financial Review :
The Statement of Financial Activities shows incoming resources of £119,093 for the year 2024/2025 and net incoming resources of £22,664, compared with £167,475 and £35,435 for 2023/2024.
Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities
The trustees are legally required to prepare financial statements for each financial year that give a true and fair view of the charity's state of affairs and results.
In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
-
State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
-
Prepare the financial statements on a going-concern basis unless assuming that the Charity will continue its operations is inappropriate.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which reasonably accurately disclose the charity’s financial position at any time and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the charity's assets and taking reasonable steps to prevent fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Rehoboth International Christian Centre
I report on the charity accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 on pages 4-9.
Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for preparing the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act.
-
I have followed all the applicable directions laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act; and
-
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner’s Statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commissioner. An assessment includes a review of the charity's accounting records and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes considering any unusual items or disclosures in the reports and seeking explanations from you as trustees. The procedures undertaken provide only some of the evidence required for an audit. Consequently, no opinion is given on whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’, and the report is limited to the matters in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements: • to keep accounting records per section 130 of the Charities Act and
-
to prepare accounts that accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act that have not been met, or
-
To which attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
