## _**The Trustees & Governance**_
Trustees who served during the period were - Mark Figgins (also member of church leadership team) Jean Playle Deborah Marsden Gerald Toop
King’s Church activities are administered by the church leadership team, one of whom is a Trustee. The church leaders meet several times each month and the Trustees meet on a regular basis and as required for ad hoc consultation. Due to COVID-19 these meetings were held on zoom and WhatsApp.
## **Charitable activities**
The main objective as a Christian church in Barking is to advance the Christian faith and express the Christian message in practical ways, in particular with regard to worship, Christian discipleship and communication of the Christian message, in culturally relevant ways and including community interaction and service. The church continued to pursue those aims during the period under review.
Due to COVID-19 the church held its main weekly meetings on zoom and WhatsApp. In addition, ad hoc meetings were also held the same way.
## _**(a) King’s Church in the Local community**_
Activities in and for the benefit of the local community, supported by King’s Church during the period included –
## _**(i) Barking Kidz Klub**_
Barking Kidz Club meetings were suspended during the reporting period due to COVID-19.
## _**(ii) Barking Foodbank**_
King’s Church also supported the Barking Foodbank, which is the Barking branch of the Trussell Trust Foodbank. Members of King’s Church donate food for distribution to Foodbank clients.
## _**(iii) The Source**_
- King’s Church supported the work of ‘The Source’, an interchurch initiative of ‘Barking Churches Unite’ based in the ‘Vicarage Field’ shopping centre in Barking. The Source provides a hot meal and other support (eg, with job applications, benefits, housing etc) for those living on the streets.
## _**(iv) Community Coffee Mornings**_
These were suspended during the reporting period due to COVID-19.
## _**(b) King’s Church support of UK and Overseas mission and charities**_

KING’S CHURCH BARKING _**CHARITABLE TRUST 31ST MARCH 2021 INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT**_
I report on the Receipts and Payments accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 March 2021 which are set out on the attached pages 4 and 5, referenced ‘CC16a’.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
As the charity’s trustee you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) does not apply. It is my responsibility to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 43 (7)(b) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner’s report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustee concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act
have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Richard Smith
