ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE FOR THE YEAR 2020
Charitable activities
January 17th – 19th we were able to hold the Apostolic Annual Conference at Derbyshire, Hayes Christian Conference Centre. A residential meeting titled Come Up Higher , with over 50 people in attendance from different ministries. This was before the covid lockdown.
Our Barnet church and midweek service were moved to online due to COVID 19 regulations. The advantages have been that a few people who are too far to attend were able to attend online. Also, it has helped the ministry reduce the carbon footprint contribution to the atmosphere. However, there had been the lack of personal contact which is much more valued by members than all these.
The Flaming Torch Tuesday prayer meeting had been moved to online due to the lockdown, again at one point it proved beneficial in that more people were able to attend online as we improved our online broadcasting skills. More participants have joined but unfortunately the follow up contact is a bit limited due to the pandemic. With the partial return to the face-to-face meetings in July the ministry noticed a reluctance of people to attend due to the current fear situation that was still going around. Eventually we went back to full online in November again due to the lockdown.
Saturday, 8th August the Awaken youth event was held online due to the covid restrictions.
November 20th and 21st the Pioneering Women Conference , themed Its Time to Stand Up , was held online with special guests Dr Judy Jacobs and Dr Gloria Madugba. This was well attended.
The Acts of Mercy initiative was launched on Tuesday 15th December with over 15 people committing to financially assist widows in Nigeria monthly. This again was done online due to restrictions. We currently have eleven widows on our books who receive help monthly for their upkeep. We also have been able to give scholarship to two students and helped at least two widows to start a business.
STATEMENT OF BOARD 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
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

Report of the Trustees
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.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of FRONTLINE MINISTRIES(ENFIELD)TRUST
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020 set out on pages four to nine.
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 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 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 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 statements below.
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 requirements
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 386 and 387 of the Companies Act 2006; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements
of Sections 394 and 395 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
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.
