Achievements and performance
Strengthening And Rebuilding the Congregation
Following the resumption of our activities and services post the Covid-19 pandemic, the church observed a notable decline in engagement among our regular congregants. Several members had ceased attending church services altogether, while others were participating less frequently compared to the pre-pandemic period. In response, the Church leadership embarked on initiatives to reinforce the vision and purpose of the church through teachings and messages, aimed at inspiring and challenging our membership regarding the significance of in-person corporate worship and attendance. As of the reporting period, we are pleased to note an enhanced commitment to the various services and activities of the church. While we have yet to return to pre-Covid-19 levels of engagement, the church has experienced significant growth in new membership, particularly among young adults, a development that is highly encouraging.
Young Adults
Throughout the fiscal year, the church has remained committed to fostering the growth and development of its young adult community, primarily consisting of individuals in their twenties and thirties. Emphasising inclusivity and engagement, the church leadership has purposefully included young adults in its governing body, which oversees a range of activities tailored to support their journey. These initiatives encompass small group discussions, career guidance services, and the cultivation of meaningful relationships, facilitated by intergenerational mentorship. Encouraging active involvement, the church has invited young adults to participate in diverse ministries and assume leadership roles within select programs. Anticipating their increasing involvement, we foresee this vibrant demographic assuming greater responsibility in spearheading the church's future endeavours and programs.
Outreaches and Community Focus.
Our commitment to community engagement remains steadfast, with a special emphasis on our senior citizens outreach program. Dedicated volunteers uphold regular visits to support our elderly community members. Despite challenges, we successfully hosted a summer barbecue and distributed approximately three hundred Christmas hampers to local seniors this year, although regrettably, our annual Christmas lunch could not take place. Efforts are underway to restructure our outreach teams, extending our support to various segments of our community, including the homeless, children through Kidz Klub, mothers via Mum’s Klub, as well as individuals in prisons and those living on the streets within our local vicinity. We remain committed to serving and uplifting our community in diverse ways, adapting to evolving needs and circumstances.
International Missions
We proudly maintain our ongoing support for Good Shepherd Homes (GSH) in India. This year marks a significant milestone with the inauguration of the Parandwadi Children's Village under the GSH umbrella. This facility not only offers housing and nurturing for numerous children but also serves as a comprehensive educational centre, providing schooling and vocational training opportunities.?
Our commitment extends to local churches in Kigali, Rwanda, where we actively contribute to the training and development of children and youth workers. We are in the process of organising another mission outreach to Rwanda, reinforcing our dedication to this region. Additionally, our support extends to Centre Inshitu Zacu, a home operated by Catholic nuns, which caters to severely disabled children. Through collaboration with Compassion International, numerous members of our church provide support to over seventy Rwandan children in need.

Furthermore, we stand behind Stephania Lazzarin in her mission outreach efforts across Francophone countries in West Africa. Her impactful work includes training and teaching in various Bible Schools throughout the region.
This year, the church proudly assisted the House of Wells (H.O.W), a registered non-profit organisation (NPO) in the United Kingdom and South Africa, by providing two hundred food packs during their annual Christmas food parcel giveaway. H.O.W's mission encompasses not only educational support for children and young people but also endeavours to nurture them spiritually and physically. Currently operational in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Uganda, and Kenya, H.O.W exemplifies our commitment to holistic support for children and youth in need.
Financial review
Total income decreased by 9.39% to £417,037 (2022 - £460,262).The church trustees attribute this decrease in part to the after effects of the COVID -19 pandemic due to a noticeable reduction in the number of members engaging in church activities.
Total expenditure however increased by about 22.44% to £480,034 (2022 - £392,044). This has been as a result of the increased number of outreaches and engagements with local communities to win more souls. In fact as part of this exercise the church distributed at lease 300 hampers to the locals, targeting especially senior citizens. There was also increased travel costs because of the expansion of the commitment to overseas missions in India, Rwanda and South Africa.
Thus there was an overall deficit in funds of £67,196 as compared to a surplus of £68,218 in 2022.
Plans for future periods
Plans for The Future and future Initiatives
In our pursuit of growth and community enrichment, we are actively considering the establishment of small groups hosted in the homes of individual congregants. This initiative aims to foster stronger relationships, provide enhanced pastoral care, and deepen biblical knowledge within our church community. Through these intimate gatherings, we aspire to create a nurturing environment that further strengthens the spiritual bonds among our members.
Thanks And Appreciation
We extend our heartfelt appreciation to the dedicated congregation of Praise Chapel for their unwavering support and steadfast commitment to our transformative vision. Their tireless efforts to positively impact lives within our local communities and beyond reflect the essence of our shared mission, ultimately glorifying our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
-
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value. Donated facilities and services are recognised in the accounts when received if the value can be reliably measured. No amounts are included for the contribution of general volunteers.
-
income from contracts for the supply of services is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, noncharitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.
All costs are allocated to expenditure categories reflecting the use of the resource. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs are apportioned between the activities they contribute to on a reasonable, justifiable and consistent basis.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

3. Accounting policies (continued)
Tangible assets (continued)
An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities.
Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
| Plant and machinery | - | 20% reducing balance |
|---|---|---|
| Fixtures and fittings | - | 20% reducing balance |
| Motor vehicles | - | 20% reducing balance |
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the charity are assigned to those units.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
When contributions are not expected to be settled wholly within 12 months of the end of the reporting date in which the employees render the related service, the liability is measured on a discounted present value basis. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as an expense in the period in which it arises.
