The Potters House Christian Centre Ealing Report of the Trustees For the year ended 31[st] March 2022
The Trustees present the annual report in conjunction with the financial statements of the Charity for the year ending 31[st] March 2022.
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 Ealing and in the adjoining boroughs. The charity partners with its mother church in Waltham Forest to support towards the world evangelism. Our aim is to make a positive and lasting contribution to our local community, with greater emphasis on the family unit, on 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, 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.
Charitable Activities:
As a local community church we have observed a growth in the true conversions, visitors and general attendance due mainly via our outreach strategies.
As a member 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 such as elderly, disadvantaged, lonely and deprived and have seen the rewards and positive results from the 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:
For the year ending 31[st] March 2022, the charity had total revenue of £81,993 and total expenses of £92,061. The opening reserves were £13,415 and closing reserves were £3,480 resulting in a deficit of £10,069.
Structure, Governance and Management:
The composition of the Board of Trustees is currently made up of the following Church council members: - Pastor Oluruyomi Ikutiyinu (Chairman), Jim-Ray Semanhyia and Michael Sakyi. The appointment of the Trustees where required, remains governed by the Constitution of the Church.
The Board of Trustees retain the authority to appoint new trustees to fill vacancies and/or increase the number of Trustees where the need arises. The process for the appointment of new Trustees is laid out in the Constitution as of 28[th] November 2001, amended on 11[th] February 2003.
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
-
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;
-
State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
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.
