STRUCTURE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing Document
Christ for the World (C4W) Trust is constituted as a charitable trust being governed by its trust
deed as registered with the Charity Commission on 19th December 2003 under Charity
Number 1101305, having outgrown its original trust d&ed registered with the Charity
Commission on 17th October 1988, known as The Robert Maasbach Trust under charity
number 327944, the latter is known as the Old Trust which was closed on 9th April 2013. The
C4W charity having been established on 71h December 2003,
Organlsatlonal Structure
The charity trustees are responsible for the administration of the C4W Trust. The trustees plan
to meet a mlnlmum of twice a year, giving of their time freely, receiving no remuneration for
their role as trustees and only being reimbursed for travel costs. The trustees have delegated
appropriate day to day management of the activities of the Trust to designated staff members
of the organisation.
The trustees also take advice from the Spiritual Oversight, the team being made up of senior
pastors and senior associate pastors.
Recruitment, appointment, induction and training of trustees
The existing trustees are responsible for the recruitment and appointment of new trustees who
are respected members of the Christian faith and community. The trustees always seek the
views and recommendation of the C4W Spiritual Oversight who must approve the prospective
new trustees in line with the C4W Trust Deed (6.5). New trustees are given copies of the trust
deed and relevant Charity Commission publications and are instructed in their responsibilities
by way of a prlnted C4W Trustee Job Description.
Rlsk Management
The trustees have given consideration to the major risks to which the Trust Is exposed: the
nature of those risks, likelihood of those risks and the measures taken to manage them. These
include governance risks, operational risks, financial risks, external risks and compliance with
law and regulation. A regular review is made and where a significant risk is identified an action
plan of steps is drawn up and implemented to mitigate this risk. Risks are then periodically
monitored, reviewed and assessed. The trustees are satisfied at this time that systems and
procedures are established in order to manage and control the major risks to the charity. In
particular, insurance cover is in place, regular financial reviews take place and appropriate
Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks are made regularly. Department appropriate
health and safety training is given. Basic fire and emergency evacuation training is given and
also fire warden training. A generic office risk assessment, the main office hazard assessment
and activity l event risk assessments are made.

Separation of financial responsibilities within the Trust ensures risks are minimised internally.
The regular monitoring of the cash flow position makes the charity less susceptible to
variations in monthly incom8. All new projects, their impact on the Trust and associated
funding are assessed before a commitment is made to start a project.
Extensive youth work and children's work within, and in addition to, church seniices naturally
mean that th8 charity is exposed to a high degree of risk in working with children. Safeguarding
(Child Protection) training is held for all employees and volunteers who work with or regularly
come into contact with children. DBS checks are also made on these people, and these are
renewed and the seminars conducted at least at the recommended intervals. Workers are not
permitted to work with children unless they have completed training and checks. All
safeguarding matters are undertaken under the guidance of thirtyone.'eight, previously known
as CCPAS (The Churches, Child Protection Advisory Service).
AIMS OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGIES
The objects of the charity are set out in th6 charity's trust deed and are summarised as follows:
the advancement of the Christian religion consistent with the doctrine and articles of
belief set forth in the Schedule of the Trust Deed.
the advancement of education in particular but not solely by the provision of Christian
schools.,
the relief of poverty, hardship and distress.
The Trust endeavours to achieve its aims and objectives through the various strategies
outlined below. The trustees have due regard for the Charity Commission's general and
8upplementary guidance on public benefit concerning the Trust's aims and constanlly seek to

Llfe Church: The central activity of the Trust is Life Church. This is a congregation of Christian
believers who meet In th8 Trust's premises in Folkestone, Kent, with Pastor Robert Maasbach
as Senior Pastor.
Life Church seeks to be an acce88ible and welcoming venue where all Christians of any

to learn and to worship, with Sunday services being the focus of activities,
Every Christian is encouraged to Share their faith and make a positive impact on the
community around them, either as part of activities organised by the church or through their
own initiatives.
Many of the activities are open to all, with Christians and non-christians alike being welcome.
Most activities are free but where a charge is made it is normally nominal and Life Church
aims to exclude no one through financial disadvantage.
Within these activities, Life Church offers Life Courses which aim to educate and support
people through the difficulties of life, which helps to give them the confidence to overcome the
circumstances and pressures thal they may face.
Youth and Children's Work.. Life Church continues to make development for and investment
into the Next Generation, making use of up-to-date technology and resources within this area.
This enables leaders and volunteers to facilitate age appropriate, fun and engaging sessions
for the children and youth on Sundays.

They are overseen and managed by a Senior Associate Pastor who is Director of Children
and Youth and holds a Master's Degree in Education. The Youth and Children's ministry seeks
to reach, nurture, teach and provide an environment in which children and young people are
free to develop their full potential.
Webslte and Social Media: Life Church has developed an active online presence through its
dynamic website and through its increasing outputto social networks and streaming platforms,
to remain relevant in a media-driven society.
The website aims to provide information, resources for personal development across the world
and local access to the services and activities provided at Life Church.
Equally, through its online presence on social media websites and streaming platfonns, Life
Church aims to reach out to the online community, providing inspirational messages to anyone
seeking for or wishing to grow in the Christian faith. Life Church offers access via several
mobile apps including YouTube, Facebook, Spotify and Instagram.

people everywhere, whether they are in our local area or across the world. It aims to do this
through mi88ions' trips and projects, its online presence, and donations to other ministries and
organisations having the same purpose.
ACTIVITIES AND PUBLIC BENEFIT
How our actlvities dellver public beneflt
The charity carries out a wida range of activities in pursuance of its charitable aims. The
trustees, in making decisions, have complied with the Charity Commission's public benefit
guidance when exercising any powers or duties to which the guidance is relevant and consider
that these activities, summarised below, provide benefit both to those who worship at Life
Church and the wider communities of Folkestone, Kent, the UK, Europe and the World.
Rellglou8 and Community Actlvltles
Pastor Robert Maasbach, his wife Virginla and thè Christ for the World (C4W) Trustees ar6
anchored in Biblical Christian truth. They seek to encourage and teach the fullness of Christ
In each person to the body of Christ at Life Church, Folkestone, with dedication and vision to
benefit all who attend the weekly services, which are open to the public with no membership

In the same way, Pastors Robert and Virginia support and spread the teachings of Christ,
bringing benefit to other UK Ghurches and many around the world. They infuse a passion for
people to grow in their own potential and personal inheritance that God has promised each
person through faith in Jesus Christ, Often, this support is facilitated by bringing relief of
poverty, hardship and distress in the UK and elsewhere. In 2024, the Trustees continued to
support Pastor Robert's travel plans within the UK, Europe, and further afield, serving and
supporting the work of pastors, leaders and Christians in the Body of Christ around the world
to encourage and build their existing ministries. The leadership training delivered by Pastor
Robert equips church leaders each year for a greater effectiveness in ministry. Pastor Robert
was able to minister in several different nations in 2024, including the USA, France, Holland
and Australia.
Whether it be through preaching, providing Christian education, teaching, training, giving
practical help, preparing the next generation, reaching out to the community or helping to host
combined events, the Christ for the World Trust is bringing hope to many people.

The Trust continues to build on the firm foundations already established and is always looking
for ways to improve and augment the facilities and opportunities to minister the love of God to
all. With this end in mind the Trust is always conscious of future gr0￿Ch and development.
LIFE CHURCH
Life Church has a robust Pastoral structure of Senior, Senior Associate, Associate, Area and
Care Pastors who help bring support to the church and to the wider community. Approximately
320 adults and 100 children were attending services each week at the close of 2024.
Life Church has continued to provide filmed recordings of its Sunday service messages
throughout 2024. Wednesday services are al80 shared online weekly on various audio
streaming platforms. Services are watched and listened to by people from all around the world.
Life Church benefits from an international, rich diversity of cultures and ethnicities, counting
people from a range of European, North and South American, Middle Eastern, African and
Asian countries among the congregation. Public benefit is shown in that the church truly
welcomes people from every background and shares the message of the Gospel: that the love
of God is made available to all people across the nation8 of the world.
Volunteer8: The Truste8s would particularly like to acknowledge the substantial contrlbution
volunteers make to the work of the charity. The input from approximately 140 volunteers
enables the Trust to extend its work within the local communitles at no additional employment
cost. Volunteers who work with children or vulnerable adults are DBS checked and are kept
up to date with the latest safeguarding policies and procedures. Department appropriate health
and safety training, including fire safety, is given. Typically, around 40 volunteers each week
provide help and support on Sundays in both the adult services and the extensive children's
ministry. Life Church held Volunteer Appreciation Sundays in April, September and December
2024. Each volunteer received a small gift bag to thank and appreciate them for all they did
and all they brought to the work of Life Church throughout the year.
ervices
The services are held twice a week, on Wednesday8 and on Sundays, and welcome people
of every age or background who seek to be strengthened in their faith and meet with other
Christians in the community. The services include uplifting worship music, times of prayer and
a message.
Public benefit is recognised in the messages that are preached, with individual Christians
being encouraged in their personal Christian walk and also making members of the public feel
welcome and at home in the services. The messages include good morals and ethics as a
healthy foundation to life, improving society through family values, with Christ as the example.
The Sunday and Wednesday messages are also made publicly available, free of charge, on
the Life Church website, via YouTube, Facebook and audio streaming platforms.
A Welcome Card is offered to those attending for the first time so that they can request
additional information on Life Church activities and also receive a welcome gift. New
Bellevers packs are also freely available, each of which includes a Gospel of John and a
booklet with helpful information for new believers. A Joln pack is also offered to introduce
people to Life Church, its beliefs, purpose and vision, giving information about salvation,
Pastoral Ministry at Life Church and on how to become a member of Life Church.

Services regularly include Life Events such as Baby Dedications or Water Baptisms, or other
celebrations, for example Volunteer Appreciation, Celebration Sunday, Missions Sunday, or
milestone wedding anniversaries.
Additionally, Life Church seasonally holds family services on Good Friday and Christmas Eve.
Information about these and upcoming events is available to all on the monthly Infosheet
distributed during the regular services and on the website. These special services are a lovely
way of gathering families and inviting new people from the community to make them feel
welcome and at home, sharing and rejoicing together in the celebration of an occasion, while
witnessing the love of God, which is the aim of the Trust for the church and the community.
Life Events
Life Church seeks to help and encourage people who have decided to take a new step in their
lives, by Celebrating with them In their time of rejoicing and support them in times of mouming.
Couples wishlng to marry are prepared for their lives ahead by attending a pre-marriage
course, and candidates for water baptism also havé a brief preparatory Inductlon, held by Care
Pastors of Life Church.
In 2024, Llfe Church continued to provide for life events and conducted 2 weddings, 3 funerals,
2 baby dedications and water baptised 27 people.
Su
ort and Pastoral Car
Life Church seeks to provide support within and outside of the Life Church services by offering
pastoral care through prayer and counselling to anyone in need. Lrfe Church has dedicated
Care Pastors who connect with people in their various needs. The Care Pastors are trained
by the Senior Pastors to be able to serve in these positions.
Support is generally available at all times through prayer requests, after church service, by
filling a form available at the information desk or online, by emailing or calling the Life Church
offices, or getting in touch with a leader or Care Pastor. There is also a facility to request
counselling for anyone going through hardship or difficulties.
Translation
As the need has arisen, Life Church has been open to reach out to people from other
nationalities living in the local area. On Sunday momings the service is translated into Slovak
using simultaneous translation equipment. Slovak is also generally under8tood well by those
who speak Czech. This ha8 increased the accessibility of Life Church services to this Eastern
European local population that either does not speak English at present, or has very little
English. This has benefited those who come to Life Church services from the Dover Mission.
The system has also been used to provide French, Italian and Spanish translations on
occasions.
Life Courses
Life Courses have been designed by Life Church, with the Christian message as their
foundation, to help people in specific areas of need with beneficial results for those attending.

Courses include 'Born Free Restore, and 'The Winning Mind,, which are courses provided by
Life Church to promote the well-being of its beneficiaries.
Born Free ran from September to November 2024. The course aims to encourage women
and build them up in all areas of their lives, to help restore confidence in themselves, and to
be able to overcome circumstances from the past that have caused them to feel victims. Born
Free aims to get them on the path of recovery, helping those who have faced traumas such
as abuse, addictions, self-harm and panic attacks. This in tum brings benefits to their families
and the wider circle of people they know. The course lasts for 10 weeks and there is a nominal
fee to facilitate the whole course, but no one is turned away if they are unable to pay.
Life Church S
ecial Events
Life Church holds seasonal events and meetings to gather members of th8 church and the
general public around a specific theme, aiming to encourage individual faith and to build up
the communion of the church. In 2024, we had the Easter services as usual with a Sunday
Series leading up to Palm Sunday, the Good Frlday Famlly Communion Service and Easter
Sunday. Instead of our usual Harvest celebration, we marked the Church's 35 Anniversary
th
on the 13th and 20 October, focusing on 'l+Vhy We Exist, _ Our Purpose and Vision.
Arlse is a three-day event that takes place in January to start the new year, with three short
evening services where members of the church are encouraged to focus more deeply on their
Christian walk, through prayer and fasting, and to be inspired in their faith for the coming year.
Arise has been an annual event since 2012 and has inspired many.
Passlon took place from Palm Sunday through to Easter Sunday, and included the Good
Friday Family Communion Service.
Harvest was celebrated through the month of October, which included the Church
Anniversary, and focused on thanksgiving.
Christmas Eve 'Carols by Candlelighv is an annual Christmas Eve Family service held at
Life Church to celebrate the gift that God has given, that is the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ
on earth. It is a service of rejoicing, packed with various segments including Christmas Carols,
Christmas performances from the Children's Mlnistry and a short Christmas message.
Candlés are lit during the final carols. This is a service that is attended by many from
Folkestone and beyond, regardless of their background or participation at Life Church
throughout the year.
Ladies, and Men's Events
Ladles. events:
These are held periodically throughout the year and are open to all. They aim to gather ladie8
from the church and the wider public to be inspired, create friendships and feel supported in
their walk through life as ladies, daughters, sisters, mothers, grandmothers, and wives. The
events are always well attended and can include breakfast events, evenings with encouraging
and motivational speakers, Christmas events, and other activities.

the Ladies Walk in May, and then the Ladies Christmas Social later in the year.

Men's events:
Real Men, the men's ministry, developed its activities in 2019 to meet a need at Life Church
with the men developing a greater bond and community, carrying each other in prayer and
heart, and bringing support, faith and hope to each other as sons, brothers, fathers,
grandfathers and husbands. It exists to develop a very real sense of friendship and comradery
amongst men from within Life Church and the surrounding area, to see God's image restored
in and through men's lives through Jesus Christ.
M8n'8 Small Groups are regular men's groups led by church leaders in homes. The benefit
for meeting regularly in small groups in a home setting brings an informal and comfortable
énvironment for ongoing support, encouragement, and to build a sense of community and
brotherhood. The small groups are centred around seven core values of brotherhood,
discipleship, worship, prayer, teaching, mission and stewardship.
In 2024, there was a Men's Breakfast in April and a Men's 88Q at the end of June.
Communit
Life Church interacts with the wider Christian community through Churches Together
Folkestone (CTF) activities, including Christmas and Easter outreaches. It also has
involvement in the Winter Shelter, which brings support of many kinds to the homeless during
the winter. Life Church assists through donations of food and clothing, financial gift8, and
through members of Life Church volunteering to help with the practical running of the Shelter.
Life Church also regularly advertises variou8 CTF events in the weekly services and monthly
Info sheets.
The Life Church facilities are made available to other churches, for example for baptisms, as
not all local churches have their own baptistery facilities, and also for CTF prayer meetings
and children's events.

CHILDREN'S MINISTRY
Curriculum
The Orange curriculum has been a great resource for supporting the planning and materials
used forthe children aged 20 months to 18 years for the Sunday morning groups. It combines
Biblical material with practical content on life application with a large range of age-appropriate
activities and small group discussion points. The Life Church children's leaders adapt the
lesson suggestions for the needs of their groups. The children and youth teams continue to
utilise this curriculum to provide Biblical principles and themes to deliver each week. This
nurtures and supports the children and youth as they grow in their faith, as well as providing
encouragement to the parents as they foster their children's faith,

Life Church Bab & Toddler Grou

rou
leader for 2024:
This group exists to provide a safe and caring environment for parents and carers of infants
and toddlers. It is a time each week where the leaders are able to share the love of God
practically with both the children and their parents or accompanying adults, by taking time to
listen, pray and provide support for all of them with the challenges that come with day-to-day
life. We believe that each person who attends will experience the feeling of belonging, family
and acceptance that we know so well within the family of Christ, and that they might come to
know Christ as their own personal Lord and Saviour through the acceptance they receive.
This Baby & Toddler Group has become a 'weekly must, for many parents and carers, some
of whom are raising children alone and many who do not regularly visit Church. This group is
changing perceptions of Church and has proven to be a welcoming, loving place. This has
been an opportunity for many parents and carers to experience and respond to the love and
saving grace of Jesus Christ.
2024 ended with another successful year, marked by stability and a Stronger sense of
community. Our group continued to see consistent attendance, with 40-60 children and adults
attending each Tuesday and Wednesday. New families joined regularly, often referred by
friend8 or finding u8 through social media. At our end-of-year celebration in July, we said
goodbye to about 20 toddlers as they transitioned to full-time nursery or school, each receiving
book as a reminder of Jesus, love.
The Baby and Toddler Group remains a vital part of the early years sector, offering a nurturing
environment for children and families. We've continued to meet the needs of vulnerable
individuals in our community, providing bereavement support and offering literature from
charities like Care for the Family. Our prayer box also received positive responses, with
answered prayers.
In addition to providing learning and play opportunities for children, we offer parents and carers
chance to socialize. Each term, we focus on Bible-based themes, offering activities such as
crafts, messy play, sensory exploration, storytelling, and basic science to support
development at different stages. We've also seen families with older children get involved in
other church events, such as the Children's Light Party and Christmas Party, with some
attending Sunday family services.
In July, we celebrated the graduation of 20 children who moved on to nursery or school. Their
gratitude for the sense of community we provide was overNhelming, and many plan to return
with younger children. Our year ended with a joyful Christmas party, attended by over 100
children and adults, featuring a bouncy castle, crafts, games, and sharing the Nativity story
and God's love,

ht Youth
The Lifted Youth Team continued to connect with the youth each Friday evening throughout
the year. There was a mixture of fun, social activities and Bible study based evenings with live
band worship. These were very well attended and many friends of the youth have begun to
attend too. There were regular numbers of 40-50 youth in attendance.
Found Nation
This is a youth conference held twice a year,. one evening in early October and a 24ay
conference in February half term. Both of these events are a mix of social interaction, fun
activities, I￿ breakers, food, meetings with a live band and engaging Bible message to
encourage the youth in their faith and then late-night games and refreshments, Both these
conferences had attendance of over 70 young people both from Life Church and other local
congregations, as well as friends from school. It has provided a way for local Christian youth
to meet other young people and have the opportunity to socialise and worship together, as
well as supporting other youth leaders from churches with events that their young people can
attend.
Lifted Getawa
Lifted Getaway is the annual residential event run by Life Church at an activity based centre.
In August 2024, 54 youth and 8 leaders attended Limitless Festival at Stafford Showground.
They had a 5-day retreat, packed with activities and games provided by the Limitless Team,
as well as live worship, evening meetings, daytime games and activities and morning
devotions.
All the team volunteer their time to support the youth for this time away, and work hard to
prepare for and deliver a much loved event for the youth.

truly encouraged. Most of the recordings are shared on the Facebook and Instagram Life

LIFE CHURCH MISSIONS
Life Church Misslons has two amis - Home Missions and Missions Abroad.
Home Mlsslons comprises of evangelistic projects and events In our local communities;
Sharing God's love with those who live around us.
Dover Mission, Babies and Toddlers, group and the Folkestone Winter Shelter are among
the projects Life Church has supported in 2024, both financially and with volunteers.
Dover Mission has been supported by Life Church Missions by providing leadership over
the eleven years that it has been established.
The purpose of the mission is to provide discipleship, encouragement and teaching of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ to predominantly Slovak Roma families who have limited or no
understanding of the English language. In 2024, at least two weekly groups were held in
Dover and Folkestone throughout the year, with extra prayer or praise meetings some
weeks. Many now regularly attend the main service at Life Church on Sundays.
15

In 2024, the group's travel to Slovakia was again limited to a few trips. However, these trips
proved to be very productive and notably different from previous years, as more one-on-one
work was carried out, This provided valuable support to the local pastors. Addilionally,
relationships were further strengthened.
The Baby & Toddler group provides an incredible opportunity to reach into our community.
It also provides an opportunity to reach out to parents, young mums, single mums who are in
need of someone to simply talk to, feel supported and experience the Love of Christ. It has
continued to run on both Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. Also, it has been a haven for
many young Mums and several parents and carers have also brought children to other Life
Church events and activities such as the Christmas parties and services as a result.
The Folkestone Wlnter Shelter provides hot food and comfortable beds for homeless
guests in the Shepway area during the cold winter months and is run by the Rainbow Centre
and Churches Together Folkestone (CTF). The guests are also given support in their
individual short and long-term needs. Lrfe Church supports the Folkestone Winter Shelter
every year through a financial donation, while some of the members of the church also
participate as volunteers in the running of the shelter, In 2024, Life Church also provided
two-course dinners for the Winter Shelter guests on Monday8 for one month of the Shelter.
Life Church Missions also supports Pastor Robert in his ministry to other churches and
minlsters throughout the UK.
Mlsslons Abroad seeks to take the message of Jesus Christ out to those who aren't local to
Life Church. Some of the avenues and actions in 2024 for this are:
The Life Church website and social media. People from all around the world are able
to access the weekly messages through video recordings of the Sunday sermons
and the audio podcasts of all service messages,
Funding Pastor Robert'8 travel to different countries and by supporting existing
mi88ions' projects and missionaries around the world.
Life Church Missions, fund: Through this fund Life Church gives financial gifts to
foreign missionary and humanitarian projects. In 2024, th& financial gifts included:
£400 for Indian Missionary gift
£500 for the Pakistan Missionaries trip
£606 for the Slovakia Missionaries trip
£1500 to Nigeria to rebuild a Church
£3,653 Ukraine- Purchase of first aid dressings and a Braun acculan charging
unit for the Ukraine crisis
£2,389 was allocated to the Madagascar Missions Trip, which covered the cost of
30 sanitary packs and travel expenses to a prison.
Thanks to the ongoing generosity of a dedicated donor who gives specifically for Ukraine,
Life Church was able to send vital medical dressings and equipment to support the wounded
throughout the year.
Missions Sundays are when the work of Life Church Missions is celebrated and reported to
the church. On a Missions Sunday, people who support financially or give their time are
thanked, plans are shared, volunteers are recruited and finances for the work are
given. They are always inspirational times and engage the congregation in the work of God
in actively helping others both locally and internationally.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Income to the Trust from donations saw a slight increase over the year, leading to a surplus
within the Life Church portion of the Trust.
Missions, expenditure exceeded general missions, income slightly for the year but again,
there were reserves in place to cover the expenditure. Pastor Robert was able to Iravel
extensively during the year accounting for the increase in missions, travel expense.
The war in Ukraine continues, and Life Church was able to allocate all donations received in
2024 towards purchasing an electropad set and a Powerheart battery for a defibrillator.
Capital expenditure was slightly lower in 2024. Baptismal heaters were bought, which turned
out to be more cost-effective than continuing to rent them each year. Additionally, a PA desk
and projector were purchased, with generous donations contributing towards the overall cost.
After facing a significant overspend in 2023, we concentrated on rebuilding our reserves in
2024. We are pleased to ￿port a surplus of £23k this year, a substantial recovery compared
to the £74k deficit in 2023.
Reserves Pollcy
The Trustees view it as desirable to have sufficient funds to cover any short-term variation in
funding. Their aim is to build up reserves in order to cover a minimum of three months fixed
costs, with a longer term view to holding one year's fixed costs as a reserve at the earliest
opportunity.
While the long term liabilities to assets ratio remains at its current level, it is considered
prudent to reduce liabilities as quickly as possible, whilst ensuring that the charity is able to
continue operating. Therefore, any surplus funds have 80 far been used to reduce the long
term liabilities.
Pastor Robert Maasbach is key to the life of the Church. Therefore there is in place a life
insurance policy on his life to ensure that there would be sufficient funds to redeem the
mortagage and continue to run the Church for one year in the event of his demise. This
would give the Trustees time to consider the futuré of the Charity in its current form.
The Trustees regularly review the financial position of the Trust and will continue to do so.
Prlnciple fundlng sources
The charity's main sources of income continue to be donations, gifts and offerings, with
associated gift aid tax reclaims.
The Charity's approach to fundraising is to teach, from time to time, the biblical principles of
giving and to invite those present at a worship service to bring their tithes and offerings to
the Lord. This invitation is made at services and those present are free to aGcept or decline
the invitaton.
17

There may be occasions where there is a particular need within the ministry and this will be
communicated to the congregation for them to donate or not as they choose.
The Charity does not engage with any third party fund raising organisations.
No donorfs details are passed to any third party unless, and only if, the donor has voluntarily
made a Gift Aid declaration and then only to HMRC for the puposes of claiming Gift Aid.
Investment Pollcy
The Trustees have the power to invest funds in ways they see fit, provided that proper
investment advice is taken. They see it as desirable that any surplus funds would be
invested once the desired reserves have been established.
ststement of Trustees, R8sponslbllities
Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare statements of accounts for each financial year
which give a true and fair view of Ihe state of affairs of the charity and of its incoming
resources and application of resources for that period. In preparing those financial
statements, the Trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.,
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent,,
value assets and liabilities In accordance with the Statement of Recommended
Accounting Practice by Charities;
state whether or not the accounts have been prepared in accordance with any
applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice and to
give particulars of any material departures from those standards and practices and
the reasons for such departure., and,
prepare the financial statements on the ongoing concern basis unless it is
inappropriate to presume that thé charity will continue in business.
The Trustees are responslble for keeping proper accounting records which are sufficient to
show and explain the charity's transactions and to disclose with reasonable accuracy at any
time the financial position of the Trust. The Trustees are responsible for ensuring that any
statements of account comply with the Charities Act 2011 (as amended by the Charities
(Protection and Social Investment) Act 2016), the Charity (Accounts and Reports)
Regulations 2008, the requirements of the Statements of Recommended Practice (Charities
SORP FRS102) and the provisions of the trust deed.
The Trustees 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.
