Trustee's Report

For The Year Ended 31st December, 2024

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities' issued in July 2014.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND ANAGEMENT

Induction and training of new trustees

New Trustees are given an understanding of the charity's objectives and the requirements of the Charity Commission. They are also encouraged to attend appropriate external training events where these will facilitate the undertaking of their role. Charity Commission bulletins/updates are also forwarded to Trustees as and when issued.

Organisational structure

The church is organised such that the day to day running of the church has been delegated to the Parish Pastor and the Charity Manager. The Trustees are consulted on all material issues and determine the strategic direction of the charity. Trustees meet formally twice a year and as and when required to review the operations of the charity.

31st December 2024

His Glory Tabernacle is a member of the Redeemed Christian Church Of God (RCCG) which has parishes all over the world. The relationship is governed by an 'Agreement For Common Purposes' between the parishes and RCCG.

Risk management

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and alms

The advancement of the Christian faith worldwide in accordance with the doctrines set out in the statement of faith contained in the schedule 2.2.2 the relief of poverty 2.3 the trustees must use the income and may use the capital of the trust in promoting the objects.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves Policy

Freely available reserves are a pool of unapplied resources available to meet future demands on the charity’s resources. This is “general purpose money that can be spent on any of the purposes of the charity. Reserves are required to ensure the charity can meet its general business commitments.

Principal funding sources

Currently, the principal funding sources of the charity are from donations made by its volunteers and members.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

Missions will be a focus for the church into the near future as we seek to help alleviate poverty. We will also continue to seek strategic and collaborative relationships with other local community organisations as a means of achieving our objectives. Employment and education remain important means of relieving poverty and to that end, we will organise seminars to equip members of the local community with skills relevant for securing employment.

LAND & BUILDING

The charity acquired Unit 17-18 Bellingham Trading Estate during the year ended 2019 as its permanent place of Worship and refinance Unit 19 all together into the new purchase.

The Trustees are responsible for ensuring that proper books are maintained, for safeguarding the assets of the charity, and for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Board has reviewed the effectiveness of the system of internal control for the period to 31 December 2024 and for the period to the date of signing these accounts. There are no material weaknesses that would have resulted in losses, contingencies and uncertainties that require a separate disclosure in these accounts.

Redeemed Christian Church of God , His Glory Tabernacle

For The Year Ended 31st December, 2024

Independent Examiner's Report

To the Trustees of

Redeemed Christian Church of God , His Glory Tabernacle

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024 set out on pages five to ten.

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. The charity's gross income does exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of ACCA.

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 l45(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

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 130 of the 2011 Act; and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act 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.
