Structure, Governance, and Management
The charity is constituted under a Deed of Trust dated 21 March 1995. Trustees are appointed for life until they resign, die, or are dismissed in line with the relevant article.
Objectives and activities
The principal objects of the charity are to advance the Christian religion by the propagation of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, shepherding all converts and followers of the Lord Jesus Christ, and relieving sickness, hardship, and distress of young and old living in Luton and the surrounding areas.
Covid -19 had a significant impact on the ability of the church to meet in person for most of 2020. This meant we were unable to meet in person on-site or visit church members and those in the community. The church, however, had access to internet-based equipment and technology so we utilised these to continue meeting our objectives as best we could.
Achievements in the year
Expansion of online services through investments in better equipment and training in so doing the church kept in regular touch with members and others offering support, prayer, and bible studies. By the end of the year, we were having weekly Sunday morning services supported by online services on Sunday evenings and during the week.
The church continued to administer food distribution, one-to-one telephone, and video meetings, and conferences with partner churches, Luton Borough Council, Public Health England, and NHSE.
RRF continues to have strong links with Africa, in particular, Kenya and also India via video conferencing and telephone. No visits were made to or from these countries in 2021.

Of the monies raised, £3,607 was from the mortgage repayment from the loan to Harlesden church, and the church gave £2,363 as pastoral support for the church ministry in Kenya.

Independent examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Restoration Revival Fellowship (Luton)
I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31/12/2021 which are set out on annex pages 1 and 2.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act and
-
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out under the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. 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 trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently, no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true or fair' view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In the course of 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 proper accounting records under 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
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the account to be reached.
