The board of trustees of 3 members, meet half yearly, administers the charity in consultation with the administrative board of the church. There are subcommittees covering the spiritual development, membership & welfare, finance & administration. The finance & administration subcommittee is charged with the management of the daily operations of the charity.

The Charity has the policy of diversifying its funding base. To this end the income of the charity is derived from general offerings from the members, mission conference donations and donations from the general public and mission partners.
Financial policies are in place to ensure the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The board of trustees receive regular financial reports to enable them to monitor the charity's income and expenditure thus keeping them up to date with the Church's financial position.

## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees and Members**
We report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 March 2025 which are set out on the annexed pages.
## **Respective Responsibilities of the Trustees and Examiner**
The Trustees of the Charity are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; and consider that the audit requirement of section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 does not apply and that an independent examination is needed. It is our responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- to follow the procedures specified in general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act, and
- to state whether particular matters have come to our attention.
## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Report**
Our examination was carried out in accordance with general directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes 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 any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently we do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent Examiner's Statement**
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention:
- 1) Which gives us 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 with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met;
or
- 2) To which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
