TRUSTEES' REPORT for the year ended 31 Dec. 2023

The trustees present their report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 Dec 2023. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on page 7 and comply with the charity's trust deed and applicable law.

Trustees

The trustees named on page 1 have served throughout the year. Appointment of trustees is governed by the Trust Deed of the charity. The Board of trustees is authorised to appoint new trustees to fill vacancies arising through resignation or death of an existing trustee.

Investments powers

The Trust Deed authorises the trustees to make and hold investments using the general funds of the charity, but no such investments are presently held.

Constitution, objects and policies

The principal activity of the organization was that of providing advancement of Christian faith

The policy of the charitable Trust continues to be to seek additional donations to continue to run the organisation

The trustees take the day responsibility for running the charity.

Development, activities and achievements

The trustees consider that the performance of the charity this year has been most satisfactory and the average number of members has increased once again this year.

Financial review

Funds available are sufficient to permit the Trust to continue in operation in the medium term, given the continued support of the members. Should this support not continue in the longer term, further financial support would need to be sought to replace it.

Risk Management

The trustees actively review the major risk which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining reserves at current levels, combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems, will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The trustees have also examined other operational and business risks faced by the charity and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.

Statement of trustees' responsibilities

Law applicable to charities in England 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 those financial statements, the trustees are required to:

a) Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;

b) make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

c) state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

d) prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping 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 2011 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.
