Objectives and Activities
The mission is to share the knowledge of Jesus Christ
To promote the teachings of Jesus Christ.
To benefit all in body, mind, and spirit without prejudice.
The governing document: Declaration of trust made on the Ilth June 1995.
The Pastor has been working on building up the congregation. He has been undertaking weekly preaching of the
gospel, personal counselling, personal ministry, and prayer meetings. The Pastor has been working on the church's
online presence with Sunday preaching, counselling, leading the prayer groups, and Bible studies. Twice a week, a
mother and Toddler group is run at the church. {This is all run by volunteers, funded by a small fee). The
premises are also used by the following churches. The Good Shepherd Christian Ministries (Filipino) church has
been able to use the premises for Sunday services and other attivities. Way of Life Church (Portuguese-speaking
fellowship) uses the church on Saturdays.
Trustees have reviewed guidance on public benefit.
Financial The Trustees have not applied for any grants. However, the church supports Christian or
missionary work. The mother and toddler group supported an average of 6 children via compassion during the
year 2024.
The investment is reviewed annually, currently, the available funds in excess of running costs are held in the
High Interest account. Consideration of other investment policies will be given if deposits exceed yearly
expenditure.
The Volunteers
The mother and toddler group is run by a volunteer- the volunteer uses puppetry play to preach
the gospel to the parents and children. The Trustees are volunteers and have been reviewing all the church
policies and applied for a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). The volunteers prepare weekly food for the
congregation. A volunteer runs the church office on a part-time basis.
Fr
mmin
h l ￿￿.. 2024 was another year of growth for our Church, through solid Biblical teaching
and delivering what God would require us to deliver to any existing members of the Church and those who are and
may in the future show interest in God and his word. and the sacrifice Jesus made for mankind. Though against
many other local churches that seem small by number, we will never compromise to what the Bible teaches us.
Our aim is to deliver the absolute truth and support people who may feel hurt and upset through what they have
been taught at other churches. We do offer a place of comfort love and understanding so anyone who needs
support can receive it. We do not engage in street evangelism but prefer to approach people gently.
I receive many telephone calls on a weekly basis from people seeking prayer, and of course, I invite them to
attend our Church services.
In conclusion, I will continue to do what I can, along with my brothers and sisters in Christ, to increase the support
for the Church and attend our services, and help those who are hurting in the community we operate in.
Pla
rou
reflection on 2024
The play group leader has continued to run the playgroup with the aim of sharing Jesus with both children & adults
via storytelling, puppetry, singing, craft & Scripture.
The playgroup income also sponsored 6 children in poverty abroad through Compassion UK, whereby they received
not only physical & educational support. but also heard the good news of Jesus.

Financial Review
During 2024 the church received £48,589, an increase from the previous year, with most of the income coming
from gifts, tithes, and donations. We are encouraged to see regular giving grow to £34,462 compared to £28,020
(2023) showing the commitment of our congregation and supporters. Income from hall lettings and the Mums &
Toddlers group also helped to cover running costs.
Expenditure for the year was £46.472. with the largest costs being staff salaries. building maintenance, and
essential utilities. We also supported community activities, including the playgroup and outreach events. After all
expenses, we ended the year with a small surplus of £2.117. which has allowed us to strengthen our reserves to
£4,858
Although our financial position remains modest and reliant on ongoing giving, the trustees are thankful that the
church's needs were met and that we have been able to build reserves for future stability. With God's provision
and the faithful support of the congregation, we remain confident that we can continue to grow our ministry and
serve the local community in the year ahead.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS** 

Report to the Trustees of Kilburn Evangelical Church Trust on the accounts for the year ending 31 December 2024 set out on pages 8 to 12. 

## **Respective responsibilities of Trustees and examiner** 

The charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 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 independent examiner's statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 the trustees concerning 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 and fair' view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. 

## **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 trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that: 

- proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 130 of the Act); and 

· accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act; or 

2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
