Report of The Trustees for the Year Ended 30 June 2023
**Nigh Vigil –** Held every 1[st] Friday offering Deliverance, healing and restoration for believers
**Golden Ladies 50+** - The Golden Ladies 50plus ministry was reduced from previous years due to the social nature of the ministry and the COVID19 pandemic which makes most members in a very vulnerable category. We did sessions on using social media to contact loved ones.
**Evangelism/Community** - The Church, as many support networks found it challenging to physically reach those in need this year. We traditionally support the homeless as a demonstration of our faith. We deliver food parcels to those who find it difficult to feed and we provide non-perishable. goods too.
**GriefShare** – We continue to prepare counsellors to launch the Griefshare programme to help those bereaved in the community.

The ministry has reached out to many in the London area and on the phone to many overseas. Offering one to one counselling and coaching with a senior minister.
**Great expectations** - reaching out and connecting to young adults and singles.
**Christmas and Easter Programmes: -** Ensuring no members felt isolated during the holiday period, offering food services for members of the local community, old people and children.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Immanuel International Christian Ministries for the year ended 30 June 2023
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2023, which are set out on pages 5 to 10.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
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 Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
## It is my responsibility to:
1. Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act;
2. To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145 (5)(b) of the Charities Act; and
3. To 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 Commissioners. 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
## **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 trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that
- Proper accounting records are kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act, · and Accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act, or
2. To which in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
