## REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
## FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31ST DECEMBER 2022
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st December 2022. The trustess have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015)
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
The purpose of the church is the advancement of the Christian Faith. Dudley Community Church is a growing, worshipping and mission focused community of people from across the Black Country seeking to be a contemporary and relevant expression of Church for all the family. We are passionate about the message of Jesus and about making a difference in our town and beyond. We would love to welcome you to one of our Sunday services at 10:30am and 6pm, which is in Polish.
We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities.
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
The last year has continued to be a year of building the congregation, attendance has been up and down with people coming and going however, overall we are confident the church is growing spiritually and numercially.
The Lighthouse Centre hosts our community ministries to the socially emotional and spiritually vulnerable. In 2022 we re-evalutated the work of Heaven's Kitchen, that had operated under Dudley Community Church for 13+ years, and it was felt by trustess and some volunteers that Heaven's Kitchen for a number of years was no longer fulfilling its purpose of helping the socially vulnerable. It was decided that Heaven's Kitchen should be closed down.
We decided that Heaven's Kitchen would be replaced by the Lighthouse Community HUB, that was to provide increased one-to-one support for individuals. The HUB has in 2022 steadily grown in numbers, but more importantly, many individuals receive one-to-one support, a warm place to socialise and several social events throughout the year.
We continue to serve the congregation and community with several ministries for children, youth and adults.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Financial position**
Net income has increased during 2022 to £95,919 compared to £73,928 in 2021 as the Church is now funded by a combination of donations, grants and rental income from the new centre. The trustees continue to manage the funds of the church carefully with net funds increasing to £464,150 at the end of the financial year.
## **FUTURE PLANS**
The trustees will continue to focus on the building up of the congregation, reaching out to and supporting the socially, emotionally and spiritually vulnerable through its work in The Lighthouse Centre.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF DUDLEY COMMUNITY CHURCH
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Dudley Community Church**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Dudley Community Church (the Trust) for the year ended 31st December 2022.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are reponsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered part of an independent examination.
I confirm that there are no other matters to which your attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
