TRUSTEES REPORT
The Trustees have pleasure in submitting their report, and accounts for the year ended 5th April 2022. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on page 5, and comply with the Statement of Recommended Practice and applicable law.
Constitution, objective of the charity, principal activities and organisation of our work
The charity is constituted under a trust deed dated 3rd November 1995 and is a registered charity number 1053190.
The objectives of the charity as set out in the Declaration of Trust are:
(a) To propagate the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and the advancement of the Christian faith.
(b) The relief of persons who are in conditions of hardship or distress or who are aged or sick.
(c) Such other exclusively charitable purposes as the trustees may see fit.
The church was involved in Christian outreach programmes designed to increase Christian awareness and spread the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Public benefits, development, activities and achievements in the year
When planning our activities in the year, the trustees considered the Charities Commission's guidance on public benefit, and in particular the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. We helped ordinary people in the community to live out their faith through worship and prayer; learning about the Gospel; and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus Christ.
Due to Covid-19 pandemic, we could not organised our usual gifts and presents for the widows and orphans in the community. Most of our activities during the year were held on Zoom because of the pandemic restrictions. Our annual Christmass and Easter services were held on Zoom due to Covid-19 pandemic and they were successful.
Review of the financial position
The net incoming resources for the year amounted to a deficit of £305 (2021 £1,555 surplus) all of which was attributable to the general reserves.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF WRITTEN WORLD OUTREACH MINISTRIES
I report on the Financial Statements of the charity for the year ended 5th April 2022 which are set out below:
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINERS
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 (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 STATEMENT
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Trust 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 any such matter.
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 comply 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.
