THE KIMBANGUIST HOPE OF THE WORLD YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2022
The Kimbanguist Hope of the World (KHW) trustees are pleased to present their annual report and independently examined financial statements for the year ended 31[st] March 2022. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP 2005) (Accounting Standards Charities Act 2011).
Trustees and their responsibilities
Charity trustees are the people who serve on the governing body of a charity. They may be known as trustees, directors, board members, governors or committee members. The principles and main duties are the same in all cases. Trustees have, and must accept, ultimate responsibility for directing the affairs of a charity, and ensuring that it is solvent, well-run, and meeting the needs for which it has been set up.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The Charity is managed by a board of trustees which is ultimately responsible for all the aspects of the overall management of the organisation. The trustees meet on a regular basis to conduct the business of the organisation and review progress.
About the Kimbanguist Hope of the World
This annual report has been produced to keep our partners up to date on our work and futures plans. We hope it will be of value to the local authorities, Services providers, Funders, Services Users and other sister Community organisations we network with as well as Health Authorities and the general public.
The Kimbanguist Hope of the World was constituted as a charitable organisation on 6[th] August 2003 to relieve community members from the Democratic Republic of Congo who are in need for reasons of poverty, sickness, and distress and to advance their education.
The Kimbanguist Hope of the World operates United Kingdom wide with plans to develop activities in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The guiding principles of the organisation are:
-
to promote education or training;
-
to reduce unemployment;
-
to promote health issues;
-
to work with members of our community whose full participation in society is limited by economic and social disadvantage;
-
to encourage and enable members of our community to collectively play an active role in the development and the renewal of our community;
-
to provide means by which members of our community can achieve their goals by:
4
Identifying new community needs and developing initiatives for meeting them
Promoting partnership between our organisation, statutory and voluntary sectors and other community organisation in the delivery of services
Providing this support in a cultural way and with particular values; working with members of our community and other groups and communities in a flexible open way and challenging inequalities.
2. Aims, Objectives and Activities
Information Service and advice
A community newsletter was produced in order to inform members of our community about our activities and about any governmental changes that might affect their lives. A variety of subject matters affecting refugees and asylum seekers in general were covered. We have dedicated columns to cover national issues, local matters, community matters, and events and announcement section. The newsletter circulated four times a year.
Summary of issues covered or highlighted in our most recent newsletter publications included:
-
Asylum and Immigration bill
-
Welfare Reform bill
-
Modernising the NHS
-
Disabled People’s right to equal services
-
Advice on Drug prevention and treatment
-
Teenage pregnancy
-
Employment new deal and training opportunities for all
-
Women issues
-
Basic information to HIV / AIDS
Research and information were produced and circulated to members of the community on our mailing list and disposed in our office for other members and partners.
The Project helped to ensure that members of the community understand the many changes occurring in the social services by sending out information, liasing with the project officer and initiating meeting between our community members and commissioners of service providers.
Capacity building
Many thanks to the financial support from our members and other community fund, the Management Committee members and volunteers have been able to undertake a variety of capacity building training intended to improve their skills and ability to run the organisation, and to have a better understanding of their roles and responsibilities.
Other educational initiatives with local professionals during the past year covered subject such as: First step in health promotion courses, multidisciplinary substance misuse and HIV training course, Management Committee Training organised by the Refugee council, Information communication Technology,
5
Minutes taking, Administration, Counselling skills, Health and Social Care Training.
Health
We have managed to address specific health issues within our community:
-
Preparing useful health information including HIV/AIDS and distribute it to members of the community
-
Organising community focus group discussions on health issues for parents and young people
-
Liasing with health agencies and statutory organisation to address the specific health needs of members of our community
Youth Activities
Activities intended to promote the well being of our young people in the community were developed thanks to the financial support from local organisations in London. We managed to organise seminars that invited the participation of young people from the Kimbanguist Church and from the overall community of the Congolese people and others. These seminars raised the awareness of our young people of the many opportunities that are available to them and of the ways they can access them. Discussions were also conducted around issues affecting our young people with careful consideration on the way they affect individual lives of young people. A few of these issues included education, health, social exclusion and isolation, training opportunities, substances misuse. These activities enabled our young people to acquire a level of understanding where they could positively make use of these opportunities to improve their conditions of life. Information about youth services and other social activities for young people were provided.
An African Youth Music Forum was also organised with learning activities to give our young people the opportunity to learn new skills and improve their music skills. This also helped them to explore their culture and tradition.
Planning for the future
In the year 2022/2023, we plan to consolidate the existing services and other project activities depending on the situation with the COVID 19 effect:
-
The Advice and Information service
-
The Community Access to Information Communication Technology Programme
-
The Family Learning Scheme
-
The Community Health Improvement Activities
-
Youth Projects
Consolidation of existing services and other project activities triggers put the demand high on funding. Future plans to maximize funding for the organisation remain a key service priority. With this regard, the Kimbanguist Hope of the World would like to thank in advance all funding bodies who would be interested in supporting the organisation’s activities in whatever from this may be.
Funding
We are grateful for the support from our members contribution.
6
We have been able to claim gift aid in this financial year. This has enabled us to meet our objectives. We thank all our donors for their valuable contributions.
Reserves policy and Going Concern
The Board has assessed the charity’s requirements for reserves in the light of the main risks to the organisation. As a result, the Board has approved a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed, should be held in reserve and maintained at a level which ensures that The KHW core activity could continue during a period of unforeseen difficulty. The target reserve amount represents at least 6 months’ (26 weeks) expenditure and will be reviewed annually.
Risk Management
The trustees have a risk management strategy which comprises:
● an annual review of the principal risks and uncertainties that the charity undertakes.
● the establishment of policies, systems and procedures to mitigate those risks identified in the annual review; and
● the implementation of procedures designed to minimise or manage any potential impact on the charity should those risks materialise.
The Trustees constantly review risks relevant to the charity. Any risks identified are reported to the Trustees and decisions made on how to minimise risk.
Volunteers
The charity relied a great deal on volunteers to perform a variety of tasks. Around 20 volunteers helped in this financial year.

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of The Kimbanguist Hope of the World.
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31[st] March 2022, which are set out on pages 9 to 12.
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 needed.
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 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 statement 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 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.
