TRUSTEES REPORT

The trustees present their report and the accounts for the period ended December 31, 2022.

Christ Apostolic Church Gospel Generation is governed by its constitution and in any other way prescribed by the trustees in accordance with the Charity laws of the United Kingdom. Trustees were appointed because of their expereience in church work and their ability to help in the community. Trustees who served during the year were:

Olufunke Adeyemi Orabiyi Adekunle Ayeni

Principal Activities:

  1. To be a christian church and a place of worship devoted to the advancement of the christian religion for the benefit of the community.

  2. To present the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ to those in its local community and beyond

  3. To assist, encourage and educate its members to preach the good news and to be good citizens of their community and the country at large.

  4. Provide Christian educational instructions and/or training for individuals or other organisations

  5. Conduct, encourage and promote social and/or moral activities for the advancement of the christian religion.

  6. Encourage, undertake and promote the writing of books and/or the production of audio and/or video materials for the furtherance of its objectives. These books and/or materials may be sold to the public as a means of raising fund for the charity.

  7. Promote and encourage or sponsor christian missionary activities within and/or outside the United Kingdom insofar as these activities shall further its objectives.

Achievement and Performance:

The Charity was involved in christian activities and programmes which enhance and create awareness of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Charity has benefited the public within and outside the community of its location by providing programmes such as children programs, youth outreach, marriage and marriage counselling, helping single parents, welfare programs and christian relief foundation.

We strengthened the community through counselling on the important issues in the family regardless of backgroung and race. Notable among the programmes for the year were the Promise Keepers Men Retreat, Good Women Retreat, Youths & Junior Empowerment Events.

The Youth & Junior Empowerment events which is held annually was a success followed with great testimonies from people that attended. There were testimonies from parents who had challenges in understanding their childrens' behaviour and never had any parent-children relationship whatsoever until they came for the programme. Communicating with their children without having to shout or spreak negative words (out of annoyance) into their lives which could later affect their lives was a big challenge. But after listening to a young lady's teaching who spoke and enlightened parents more on understanding children using her own true life story, there was a total turn around in the relationship of many of the parents and

Page 4

singlr parents with their children.

Also, divorced parents living alond testified on learning how to cope being single without sinning. More so, free medical check-up was organised for the people of the community where the venue of the retreat was situated and they were grateful to have this basic healthcare facility, followed with advice and information leaflets.

Youth:

Throughout the year, the young people in the church organised and participated in various youths empowerment activities. From gathering together every Sundays to discuss and share with one another what they have been through during the week to motivating and supporting one another. There were career advice sessions by the charity's Pastor, who always speaks to the youths and offer them valuable guidance on possible career path and work experiences. Friends from within and outside the community are always invited to join in on these programmes as they serve as a platform to discuss the things that young people face in everyday life in the society, at school and professional on a daily basis and to encourage each other on the best ways to handle these situations using biblical teachings and principles. At the beginning of every month, birthdays ere also celebrated with food, cake and presents from parents. During the year, the youth practiced singing, poetry, drama and dancing as they are sometimes invited to perform at events. Most importantly, there is an annual event organised by the charity whereby young people are invited from the local churhes of CAC in Anosike Region to join the youth during this themed themed event where they have various performances ranging from singing, dancing, drama sketches spoken words, poetry, motivation speaking, guest performances and much more. These events are held during summer as they do not only give the youth some valuable things to do with their time during the summer break, but they also help to raise awareness in the community about our faith and to give others insight into it.

The annual youth retreat at De Vere hotel in Horsley came up and it was a success as usual. Youth trip every year serves as a reward for all the hard work put in by them during the year. This year trip took them to Hosley Town Centre and a lot of group activities were carried out to help them to know each other better during the trip, especially for any new addition to the youth group.

Although we are a charitable organisation, we also believe in giving back which is why, as a group, the youth donated to two charities once a month. The charitie of their choice for the year was Christian Aid. During Christmas, there was an outreach to cater for the needy and less priviledged on the street by serving cake, snacks and tea. This afforded the youths the opportunity to really show parents the positive effect of being part of the youth organisation of the Charity.

ACCOUNTANTS REPORT

We have conducted an independent examination of the financial statements on pages 7 to 9 which have been prepared in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. We have also undertaken the review of the records kept by the Charity, (Christ Apostolic Church Gospel Generation), and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records.

An independent examination includes the consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanation from the Trustees regarding any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required by full audit and, consequently, we do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
