Sheffield Christian Life Centre
Trustees Report
Year ended 31/12/2021
The trustees of Sheffield Christian Life Centre are happy to report that the aims and objectives of the charity have been vigorously and enthusiastically adhered to throughout the year. There have been some developments in areas of its goals as well as new initiatives that have been introduced both locally and internationally.
The sitting trustees between January and December of the year 2021 were Luke Jenkinson, Andrew Parkinson, Terence Clark, Nicola Doran and Matthew Henderson.
The charity (no 1052591) is governed by a Trust Deed for local Assemblies of God churches.
The accounts have been maintained carefully and thoroughly by our internal finance director, and have been independently examined by:
Luke Silver Accountancy and Taxation Services 12 Oliver Street Pontypridd Mid-Glamorgan CF 37 2RD
They comply with all SORP requirements.
The principle objective of the charity that we passionately propagate is the advancement of the Christian faith and the extension of the Kingdom of God.
The charity provides many various activities that benefit not only the local community, but also wider to areas in other parts of the country as well as to overseas.
Locally
Grace Tots runs two times a week (Friday mornings). Grace Tots cater for children under the age of 3. A total of up to 35 tots attend across both sessions. This service provides place of friendship and security for parents, grandparents and other carers. The children are offered many activities to help them develop and grow in a healthy environment.
Youth is the weekly outreach for children in years 7-11, (11-16yrs). Currently meets on Friday evenings. Youth concentrates on reaching the youth of the community with the express aim to give the teenagers of today something worth living for.
Handsworth Food Bank provides emergency food packages for people who find themselves in crisis situations. We open every week throughout the year on Tuesdays 12.30pm-2.30pm and Thursdays 4.00pm-6.00pm.
Coffee Morning is mainly for the mature/retired adults who meet together in the café between 10.30-12noon. This outreach provides them with friendships and pastoral support.
The Main Event is our weekly Sunday service, held in the main hall. People of all ages from the community regularly attend.
Nationally
Life Links International Fellowship is a network of churches that we partner with, in various parts of the country. Our mutual respect for each other and support to each other is of great value as we hold similar aims and objectives.
Internationally
We are involved in building a community Centre called New Hope Christian Centre in Chifubu, Zambia, (feeding orphaned children and providing work for people in the area).
There are a number of spin off events and activities that take place as a result of the various things mentioned above.
In short the trustees are satisfied that the charity functions in good order and continues to progress in line with its aims and objectives.
On behalf of the Trustees,
Luke Jenkinson (Chair of Trustees)

On the accounts for the year ended 31st December 2021

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity¹s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to: examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and state 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 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 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 requirements
-
To keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
• To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 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.
