REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2020

The Trustees present the annual report in conjunction with the financial statements of the Charity for the year ending 31st December 2020. This report, together with the financial statement is prepared in compliance with the accounting policies set out in the Charity's Trust Deed and applicable law.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

As a Christian organisation, our aim has been and continues to be the promotion of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This is done primarily in our local community of Waltham Forest and in adjoining boroughs. The charity endeavours to send and support missionary workers throughout the world. Our aim is to make a positive and lasting contribution to our local community, with greater emphasis on the family unit, our youth, disadvantaged and the elderly. We have been successful in this regard throughout the year by partnering with the Local Authority to tackle knife and gun crime, anti-social behaviour and juvenile delinquency through the use of the gospel as an avenue for rehabilitation. Our youth ministries continue to try and maximise their positive impact and influence upon the young people of our Borough (Waltham Forest) and beyond.

The Charity has a volunteer Youth Leader who retains a specific responsibility for spearheading the promotion of youth outreaches in the community, which include Gospel concerts, drama productions, football tournaments and street events. Each of these programmes is targeted to meet the needs of all age groups within our local and diverse community. The aforementioned events are held in conjunction with our regular church services. All organised activities and events are of a non-profit nature and are funded by the church.

In line with our objective to promote the Christian faith through worship and preaching we hold regular church services and these are promoted by non-discriminatory invitations given out to the general public.

The current pandemic which resulted in lockdowns last year affected our usual activates as a church, however, before the lockdown in March 2020 our regular church services were held at The Potters House, 366 Lea Bridge Road, London E10 7LD on Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings and evenings. Sunday school classes were held on Sunday mornings and children's church services on Sunday evenings aim to reach out to local families, catering for ages 4-11. We have a nursery available from birth to 3 years, which enables parents to take part in every service knowing that their small children are well cared for. A number of young adults and teenagers within the congregation have active roles in all these ministries. DBS checks have been carried out on those working with children and we maintain a safeguarding policy.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable Activities

As a local community church we have observed a growth in true conversions, visitors and general attendance due mainly to our outreach strategies.

As members of our local neighbourhood we have for years worked tirelessly for our local borough to try and reach out to our general community and help in any area where possible e.g. support of the charity Heaven Sent, as well as the elderly, disadvantaged, lonely and deprived. We have seen the rewards and positive results from these Christian endeavours.

Bible study groups (home bible groups) are flourishing and continue to be an immense support network for attendees in general and particularly for those facing difficulties. Home group leaders continue to take initiative to have their own local outreaches.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Monetary review

During the COVID-19 lockdown period last year, we were not allowed to have regular services within the building and all our services were held via live stream. However, despite the fact that we were not able to function as normal, the Trustees consider that the stability of the church and the finances received have been satisfactory.

The church continues to benefit from the generosity and support of its members through their donations. The Trustees are happy with the level of income and the commitment of its members through their regular donations during the pandemic.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2020

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves policy

The Charities restricted funds held in reserve for any unforeseen circumstances are adequate. The trustees are satisfied that these reserves are maintained at an appropriate and satisfactory level.

FUTURE PLANS

Despite the pandemic within the coming year the Trustees will continue to invest funds in planting churches, regular revivals and outreaches. Plans for 2020/21 include further expression in both national and world evangelism. We envision continued church planting locally, regionally and internationally including continued missionary support in line with our objective.

Our continued plan for young people at risk of offending and to influence their life choices towards more positive engagements remains a priority and focus.

It is necessary to reiterate that funding is generated via non-compulsory contributions (weekly offerings/ donations) by members of this church.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.

Structure, Governance and Management

The church registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation on 24th May 2019 and its objects are to promote the Christian faith. For the furtherance of this aim regular activities are carried out and invitations given out to the public.

It was originally planned to transfer all operations of this Charity to the CIO but due to COVID-19 ramifications, these plans have had to be delayed. However, it is hoped and anticipated that all operations will be transferred to the CIO by early 2021. In this year's Financial Statements the old charity and the CIO operated concurrently as assets and operations were gradually transitioned. These financial statements and annual report cover the first reporting period in which the CIO has been the only operational charity; during this period the old charity was closed and de-registered with the Charity Commission.

Appointment of the Trustees is governed by the Constitution of the Charity. The current Board of Trustees constitutes five members. Details of the Trustees who have served during the period are given on page 3. The church's pastor (Pastor Nigel Brown) is ex officio the Chair of Trustees, also being responsible for the day to day operation of the charity and management of the staff of the charity on behalf of the Board. Finance is raised from the congregation's contributions and Gift Aid.

The Board of Trustees is authorised to appoint new trustees to fill vacancies through resignation or death of an existing trustee until the following AGM, whereupon congregational members will be invited to confirm the new trustee by vote. Other than the church's pastor, trustees are appointed for a 2 year term and may serve for a maximum of six consecutive years. The Trustees retain the collective responsibility for major financial decisions and investments with Board meetings being held monthly.

The charity has a full complement of staff, with the principal roles comprising:

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. 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.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE POTTERS HOUSE CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP WALTHAMSTOW

Opinion

I have audited the financial statements of The Potters House Christian Fellowship Walthamstow (the 'charity') for the year ended 31st December 2020 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Basis for opinion

I conducted my audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. My responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of my report. I am independent of the charity in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to my audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and I have fulfilled my other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, I have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Based on the work I have performed, I have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

My responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and my Report of the Independent Auditor thereon.

My opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in my report, I do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with my audit of the financial statements, my responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or my knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If I identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, I am required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work I have performed, I conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, I am required to report that fact. I have nothing to report in this regard.

Matters on which I am required to report by exception

I have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 requires me to report to you if, in my opinion:

Page 5

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE POTTERS HOUSE CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP WALTHAMSTOW

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

My responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

I have been appointed as auditor under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.

My objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditor that includes my opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. I design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which my procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

.

A further description of my responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of my Report of the Independent Auditor.

Use of my report

This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My audit work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity's trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for my audit work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2020

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Grants offered subject to conditions which have not been met at the year end date are noted as a commitment but not accrued as expenditure.

Raising funds

The costs of generating funds are those costs attributable to generating incoming resources for the charity, other than those costs incurred in undertaking charitable activities or the costs incurred in undertaking trading activities in furtherance of the charity’s objects, and represent investment management fees.

Charitable activities

Costs of charitable activities comprise all costs incurred in the pursuit of the charitable objects of the charity. These costs, where not wholly attributable, are apportioned between the categories of charitable expenditure in addition to the direct costs. The total costs of each category of charitable expenditure therefore include support costs and an apportionment of overheads, as shown in note 8.

Governance costs

Governance costs comprise all costs attributable to ensuring the public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice. These costs include costs related to statutory audit together with an apportionment of overhead and support costs.

Allocation and apportionment of costs

All costs are allocated between the expenditure categories of the Statement of Financial Activities on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on an appropriate basis.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Freehold property - 2% on cost Fixtures, fittings and equipment - 10% on cost Motor vehicles - 25% on cost Computer equipment - 33% on cost

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.
