TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022
The Trustees present their report and the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 5 April 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" (FRS102) in preparing the annual report and financial statements of the charity.
Structure, Governance and Management
Governing document
The charity is governed by its Trust deed dated 17 September 1996
Trustee induction and training
New Trustees undergo an orientation day to brief them on their legal obligations under charity and company law, the content of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the commitee and decision making processes, the business plan and recent financial performance of the charity. During the induction day they meet key employees and other trustees. Trustees are encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where these will facilitate the undertaking of their role.
Organisation
A board of trustees of up to 15 members, who meet quarterly, administers the charity. There are sub-committees covering development, membership, finance and audit. A Chief executive is appointed by the trustees to manage the day-to-day operations of the charity.
Risk policy
The trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks which the charity faces and confirm that systems have been established to enable regular reports to be produced so that the necessary steps can be taken to lessen these risks.
Volunteers
Many volunteers give up their time to help at the branches, particularly at weekends and in the evenings. We are greatly indebted to these volunteers for their committment and support.
Objectives and activities
The principal activity of the Living Water Christian Centre is that of charitiable works for public benefit.

TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT (Continued)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022
Accounting and reporting responsibilities
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view, the trustees should follow best practice and:
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed,subject to any departures
disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in existence.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF LIVING WATERS CHRISTIAN CENTRE
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5 APRIL 2022
I report on the accounts which are set out on pages 4 to 9
Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and examiner
The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The 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 Commission. 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.
