THEOTHERAPY CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP TRUST
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
The trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020. The trustees confirm that the annual report and financial statements of the charity comply with current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charity’s governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP), applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015).
Objectives and activities
In setting objectives and planning for activities, the trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the charity commission relating to public benefit and in particular to its supplementary public benefit guidance on the advancement of religion for the public benefit which is the primary aim of the charity.
The overall objectives of the charity are:
-
The advancement of the Christian faith which the charity develops through its weekly services, worship meetings and evangelistic activities
-
The advancement of education on the basis of Christian principles which is carried out through weekly development, training courses and person to person contact
-
The relief of persons who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress or who are sick and aged
These objectives are achieved through the leadership of a pastoral team. They are responsible for the spiritual guidance by developing strategies that follow the Christian faith and keep a close relationship with the people who are involved with the charity and support its vision. As part of the leadership team the charity has a pastor who is responsible for the day-to-day issues as well as the management of all related activities within the scope of the church and community. In addition to this person a team of volunteers is always able to help and support any requirement needed to accomplish each activity successfully.
Despite the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic the charity has continued to keep its strong congregational numbers and members of the public are very welcome to join and attend activities. These activities include Sunday services, prayer meetings, evangelistic courses, overseas mission trips where possible, youth holidays, as well as activities with the local community. As a result, increasing numbers of adults and youth have been restored through evangelistic and pastoral missions by the teaching of values and principles and more volunteers have joined the mission field overseas.
The charity remains deeply concerned about people who are in conditions of need, hardship or distress and those who are sick and aged. In keeping with this objective, during the year, the charity has continued to work with CCI in Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Israel and Germany by sending volunteers as has been possible and material resources from church members.
Achievements and performance
A review of the activities and the results for the year are shown in the statement of financial activities.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Financial review
The charity’s funds are divided into restricted and unrestricted funds. Restricted funds can only be used for the purpose for which they are set up. The unrestricted fund, the general fund, is the main fund which receives income and from which payment is made for the cost of running the charity and its activities. The income of the year was £307,112. Expenditure for the year was £179,817. As a result, there was net income for the year of £127,295. The balance to carry forward on unrestricted funds at the end of the year was £732,826.
Because of continuing giving by the congregation, the charity trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the accounts.
It is the policy of the trustees to maintain a balance on general fund which equates to three months unrestricted payments. The current balance exceeds this figure.
It remains the aim of the trustees to the purchase of a property for the charity’s use and are continuing to build up funds to enable this to happen.
Plans for the future
There is a continuing need for the charity to maintain and expand its work both in the community in which it operates and abroad, including the need for more volunteers. Long-term the ownership of a property would aid this expansion.
Structure, governance and management
The company was established under a declaration of trust on 10 July 2003.
New trustees are appointed from time to time by the existing trustees. Recruitment will focus on persons who have an interest in the objectives of the charity.
The trustees have met or have been in contact monthly during the year to discuss the financial and spiritual affairs of the charity and to plan forthcoming events.
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems and procedures are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks to which the charity might be exposed.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
Statement of trustees’ responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees’ annual report and 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 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 of the charity for that year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
-
make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and 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, 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.
