ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The trustees consider the performance of the charity this year were in line with expectation. The trustees would like to express their gratitude to the church members, donors and volunteers for their generous financial contributions and selfless sacrifices of their treasures, time and talents towards the achievement of the objectives of the organisation.
Financial Review
The charity's statement of financial activities for the year ended 31 December 2020, as detailed below shows a net incoming of £10,755 (2019: £5,352) and total fund at year ended 31 December 2020 is £63,257 (2019: £52,502).
Public Benefit
In carrying out the review of activities during the year, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit and in particular its supplementary public guidance on the advancement of religion for the public benefit, the trustees consider that the following activities provide benefit to members of the Church, the local and international community.
In 2020, we have combined and improved the quality of our service delivery despite the pandemic. We continue to deliver more on our existing activities. Through the activities of the various groups, Treasurehouse Ministries achieved the following during the year:
Services to the general public and our local community.
In the UK, we make use of The Leigh-UTC, Dartford-Bridge Community, for our weekly meetings, and other rented venues when open for public use. And other weekly meetings were through Skype. Since we arrived the Dartford-Bridge community, we have served the community in many spiritual ways. It was very enriching praying for the community where you belong. This year, we had a very low-key yearly BBQ party within our bubble, this was due to the pandemic.
Our overseas ministry works in Abuja, Nigeria this year was very minimal due to the pandemic. But we kept constant touch with them all through the pandemic, and rendered necessary support to families in need.

Worship within the community
Our worship team is very important to our church services. It has fostered good mental health, general wellbeing among members, and a joyful atmosphere within the church.
Treasurehouse in Abuja, Nigeria continues with the training of youths and the worship team after the lockdown. Music has become a very important tool for healing and inspirational as they recover from the lockdown. I paid them a visit shortly after their lockdown
Prayer Initiatives
We hold various prayer initiatives through the coordination of our welfare and Intercessory team. In these prayer initiatives, we pray for individuals, our communities, government and political leaders and the international community. This year most prayer meeting was carried out virtually, via Skype.
Our flagship 30-day "prayer and fasting" is an annual event held in the month of November. This is a time when we invite all Christians and members of the community to join us in praying for our leaders, local communities, nations, families, other individuals and for themselves. During this prayer event, people gathered together every evening to pray. This year, evening prayer meetings was done through Skype and Facebook-Live.
Our monthly prayer vigil which held every second Friday of each month from midnight to around 1a.m. was done virtually, through Skype. During these monthly prayer meetings, individuals, who attend either in person or buy conference call, join virtually with their prayer requests to God. And as a result, many lives, careers and homes are being transformed by God. And people are live a happier life.
In addition to these prayer meetings, the leadership and Trustees hold prayer meetings on the last Saturday of the month between the hours of 0900 and 1200. Leadership Training Session follow after. This is to build up a spiritually strong and well-informed leadership base for the church. Due to this new initiative, most of our leaders and Trustees are performing better in their individual roles within the church and their communities. In the UK, these meetings were observed virtually due to the pandemic. And it resulted to having more virtual attendees.
These prayer meetings and programmes were also observed in out Abuja Outreach Centre as much as Government lockdown measures allowed
Marriage Seminars
We continue our yearly marriage counselling sessions in 2020. Due to the pandemic, Single, Married and Favoured (SM&F Seminar) was not organised this year; but then, we used the 5[th] Sunday of every peculiar month to teach on Marriage Matters and pray about marital issues. Socialising this years was done within people’s family bubbles.
Also, we arrange customised marriage counselling sessions for individuals who wish to marry or repair their broken relationships. As a result of this this year, issues among young married couples were sorted out. Also, we render necessary welfare support to intending couples during their wedding preparations.
Counselling and Visitation Services
This year, the church carried out many counselling and special visitation for individuals and intending couples. This ranged from career counselling to marriage counselling, spiritual counselling, visitations, prayers and counselling for young leaders. Most counselling session was done virtually.

Daily Devotionals and Prayer Guide
The church continues the production of its popular daily devotional and prayer guide titled TREASURES FROM ABOVE. We published 4 editions this year and made them available for members by e-Copies. Also, we printed and distributed paper copies in the UK and abroad. This has helped them grow spiritually. Spiritual growth helps reduce, loneliness, depression, domestic violence and other offences in the community.
We have received commendations from many sources this year, therefore, we can conclude that the daily devotional is blessing lives. We look forward to continue to publish it now and in the future, and to make it available for many more people especially those who cannot afford to buy online copies.
Celebrations, Christmas Awards and End-Of-Year Awards
We organised a virtual Christmas celebration service where gifts were shared among members. This is to appreciate everyone’s hard work during the year, and to celebrate one another in the Lord. Also, in the Abuja Church, Free food-boxes were presented to about 120 families and individuals during the Christmas season. Ministry leaders and organisations that played great supportive roles for Treasurehouse Ministries in 2020 were given thank-you Christmas packs. Also, during Christmas period, the church organised a love feast and festival and invited many people in the Dartford and Gravesend community. This was done in the festive spirit of Christmas.
Mission to Nigeria
The mission to Nigeria, renamed SS4C (Shinning Stars For Christ), with preference given towards supporting the most vulnerable i.e. children’s education, pregnant women’s antenatal and delivery, medical emergencies such as hepatitis, and typhoid fever This mission also includes outreaches to empower women traders and some young men so that they may be self-sufficient over time. In the Mpape District of Abuja. Christmas food boxes were distributed to families on Christmas eve. SS4C believes that no family must be denied of celebrating Christmas together. Also, this year, monthly food distribution, clothing and other welfare materials were shared to people who were in need of them. Due to the pandemic and lockdowns, this year’s mission work far exceeded the previous years.
This Year 2020, the Pastor in charge made about three mission trips to Abuja, Nigeria where he preached in various Christian meetings. This reduction was due to traveling restrictions worldwide. During each of his trips, the Pastor’s major work was to preach the gospel, pray for people, empower the youths within the Abuja area, and to deliver welfare materials with the needy. This apostolic mission is to provide both spiritual food and physical food for the people. As a result of this many children are now back to school, and families are supported.

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of TreasureHouse Ministries
I report on the accounts of TreasureHouse Ministries for the year ended 31 December 2020, which are set out on pages 1 to 11.
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 commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act
- 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 next statement.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
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
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached
