Its governing document is a Trust Deed dated 20th January 1997. No new trustees were added during the year. The object of the Trust is the advancement of the Christian religion in accordance with the tenets of belief set out as part of the original Trust Deed, employing means as outlined in the original Deed. During the year, the various aspects of ministry carried out under the auspices of Riverside Christian Fellowship have continued. Accounts for the year ended 31st December 2020 show a surplus of £68,040, and as at 31st December, there was a total of £84,675 held in the Bank Accounts. The trustees have decided that it remains unnecessary to set aside a reserve fund. We are concerned with the spirital well-being of those individuals and families who regard themselves as part of the Fellowship. Riverside, however, also seeks to be of benefit to members of the public of all ages through a variety of means. The normal running of our weekly Café was interrupted by Covid-19 related restrictions during March 2020 and we aim to resume operations as soon as it is safe to do so. We continue to work in partnership with others in various ways to benefit the community at large. This includes links with other churches in the Gorseinon area as well as through the growing Swansea HOPE network of churches across the City. The Foodbank, which was opened by Riverside in December 2010, continued to develop and grow during the year. We continue to work in partnership with a growing number of agencies, with support from various churches, schools and individuals in the community and throughout the City of Swansea to provide emergency food parcels for people in crisis. We have been able to help single people, couples, families and senior citizens by means of this initiative. Plans for future growth and spread of this initiative are being considered and discussed. There are no serious incidents or other matters relating to Riverside Christian Fellowship over the financial year ended 31st December 2020 to report. Declaration: I declare in my capacity as a trustee that: The trustees hae approved the above report, and Have authorised me to sign it on their behalf Signature: …............................................................... Full Name: …............................................................... Position: …............................................................... Date: …............................................................... 2 Riverside Christian Fellowship For the year ended 31st December 2020 ## **Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Riverside Christian Fellowship** I report on the accounts for the year ended 31st December 2020 set out on pages 5 to 7. ## **Respective responsibilities of the 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 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, - to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of the independent examiner's report** My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 the 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. 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 Charities Act; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities 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. …..............................................................
