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.
The church was back to normal in the aftermath of Covid. However, the use of the building and other building-related activities remained limited. Instead, the church has a mix approach to church activities through a combination of in-person and an online.
This has meant an expansion in reach in that we are ministering potentially to a global audience. We have therefore invested in improved equipments and technology
Achievements in the year
Expansion of online services through investments in better equipments 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.

Independent examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Restoration Revival Fellowship (Luton)
I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31/12/2022, which are set out on annexe 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 the 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.
