Objectives and aims

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 2021, as detailed below shows a net incoming of £17,698 (2020: £11,055) and total fund at year ended 31 December 2021 is £81,255 (2020: £63,557).

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.

We have improved the quality of our service delivery. 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 continue to make use of The Leigh-UTC, Dartford-Bridge, for our weekly meetings, and other rented venues when necessary. Since we arrived the Dartford-Bridge community, we have served the community in many spiritual ways. It was very enriching praying for the people and community where you belong. This year, we had our yearly BBQ party in the Gravesend-East community which is also within the Kent County.

We did most of our overseas ministry work in Abuja, Nigeria this year. Plans are in place to extend this work to Accra, Ghana. Treasurehouse Ministries has already acquired a land, and building works for a worship place/community centre continues this year. Meanwhile, regular visits, prayer meetings and other family activities has commenced on site.

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 some adults for our worship team. These musical teams sang and played musical instruments at our programmes and conferences. Friday Udegbe, a young brilliant Keyboardist has now joined the team. We look forward to asking him to help train people who wants to play Keyboard. Meanwhile, in Dartford-Bridge, Phileo a very good keyboardist plays and leads in songs. We look forward to expanding the team.

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.

Our flagship 3-week "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, some evening prayer meetings was done through free conference calls and Facebook-Live.

Our monthly prayer vigil which held every second Friday of each month from midnight to 3a.m has been replaced with an online version of it, holding from Midnight to 1a.m. This is to help reduce cost and save money. In addition to this, we hold online Communion Services on the first Tuesday of each month (from 7pm to 8.00pm). The last Sunday Service of each month is tagged “Power Sunday” Individuals, who attend either in person or via Skype, come with their prayer requests to God. And we are seeing many lives, careers and homes are being touched by God. And people are living a happier life.

Also, the leadership and Trustees hold prayer meetings on the last Saturday of the month from 9am to 12 noon. Leadership Training Session follow after. This is to build up a spiritually strong and wellinformed leadership base for the church. Due to this initiative, most of our leaders and Trustees are performing better in their individual roles within the church and our communities.

These prayer programmes hold as well in our Abuja Church and Outreaches

Marriage Seminars

We continue our yearly marriage counselling sessions in 2021. Single, Married and Favoured (SM&F Seminar) was not organised this year; but then, we are looking forward to organising this lovely programme in the nearest future. And we didn’t have a couple’s day this year, but we had a beautiful family Sunday-out to Gravesend Kent. After the service, both the adults, the youths and the children had a good time socialising.

Also, we arranged customised marriage counselling sessions for individuals who wished to marry or repair their broken relationships. And we render necessary welfare support to intending couples during their wedding preparations. As a result, the church helped to mend a dented marriage relationship. They’ve since continued to live happily together.

Counselling and Visitation Services

The church carried out many counselling and special visitation for individuals and intending couples. This ranged from career counselling to marriage counselling, spiritual counselling and in church community leadership. As a result of this, our welfare and humanitarian department in Abuja (tagged SS4C), has supported many women petty-traders financially.

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 and by print. We made copies in the UK and abroad. This has helped people to grow spiritually, and leaders to be very focused. Spiritual growth helps reduce, domestic violence, crime and offences in homes and in the community.

We have received commendations from many sources this year, therefore, we can conclude that it is blessing lives. Even though the cost of printing has escalated, we look forward to continuing to publish the daily devotional and prayer guide now and in the future, and to make it available for many more people especially those who cannot afford to buy a copy.

Celebrations, Christmas Awards and End-Of-Year Awards

We organised a 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 200 families during the Christmas season. Ministry leaders and organisations that played great supportive roles for Treasurehouse Ministries in 2021 were also given thank-you Christmas packs. Also, 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 and Accommodation support for financially deprived families) This mission also includes outreaches to empower women traders and some young men who wants to learn some trade.

In the Mpape District of Abuja. Christmas food boxes were distributed to about 200 families on Christmas eve. SS4C believes that no family must be denied of celebrating Christmas together. We look forward to including Christmas parties for the kids next Year.

Also, this year, monthly food distribution, clothing and other welfare materials were shared to people who were in need of them. Due to hardship caused by COVID-19, this year’s mission work exceeded the previous years.

This Year 2021, the Pastor in charge made about six mission trips to Abuja, Nigeria where he preached in various Christian meetings. During each of these 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, and the church building works advanced.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting convention

The financial statements were prepared under the historical cost convention and followed the recommendations in the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities (SORP) Regulations 2005.

Going concern

The trustees have undertaken a detailed review of the projected cash flows of Treasure House Ministries which have been prepared on the basis of a detailed analysis of the charity finances, likely future income (donations) and expenditure. Following this review, the trustees are confident that the charity will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future and accordingly consider that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

Incoming resources

All incoming resources are included on the Statement of Financial Activities when the charity is legally entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with the cash received.

Resources expended

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings, they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Treasurehouse Ministries

I report on the accounts of Treasurehouse Ministries for the year ended 31 December 2021, 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:

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:

  1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:

  2. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act and

  3. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met or

  4. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
