## **KING’S CHURCH BARKING** **(CHARITY NO: 1015872) TRUSTEES REPORT AND ACCOUNTS** **YEAR END 31 MARCH 2022** ## _**KING’S CHURCH BARKING**_ ## _**TRUSTEES REPORT**_ ## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022** The Trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31st March 2022. ## _**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. ## **Foreword from Lead** Trailblazing was an initiative that spread over a few months to encourage the church family, to step out and chase after their biggest dreams in who they are in Christ. We had a tagline: If your dream is not laughable, then it's not big enough. The challenge was to spend time in prayer, and dream. The initiative has seen a change in one person how they motivate themself and that person is pushing past her old comfort zone, and achieving her goals and dreams. There have also been several areas that this has affected. A once a quarter social Wine and Cheese evening has started. The children's work has changed, and one of the church members now speaks at meetings. Trailblazing is continuing with us and will hopefully grow as we learn more about our members, our community, and their hearts desires. My dream as a leader is to support the church family in their dreams and visions. Mark Figgins ## **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. After mainly online services due to COVID-19 the church resumed services in church in April. ## _**(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) 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 and the Barking Learning Centre. The Source provides takeaway meals and other support (eg, with job applications, benefits, housing etc) for those living on the streets and those in need. ## _**(ii) Community Coffee Mornings**_ With Barking URC we run a weekly coffee morning for the local community for free tea, coffee and friendship. Both passersby and locals frequent. ## _**(iii) Cheese and Wine evening**_ We held our first Cheese and Wine evening in March. This proved very popular and will be the first of many such events to come. ## _**(b) King’s Church support of UK and Overseas mission and charities**_ In the period, King’s Church supported several Christian ministries and charities working both in the UK and overseas. Details of the levels of financial support provided, are shown in the ‘Receipts and Payments’ account of this report. ## _**(c) Partnering with Barking United Reformed Church**_ We hold joint Sunday Services, activities, and meetings with Barking United Reformed Church and warmly welcome working with Barking URC’s new part-time minister, Rev Sujeeth Kumar. ## _**KING’S CHURCH BARKING**_ ## _**TRUSTEES REPORT (Continued)**_ ## _**YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2022**_ ## _**Finances**_ ## _Basis of accounts preparation_ - All receipts and payments for the period are disclosed in the attached Receipts and Payments account.

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.
