ANNUAL REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES

a. Charities objectives and principal activities

Christian UK Family Centre's objectives and principal Activities continue as they were in previous years.

b. Present position

All the three UK churches have made progress in different ways in their ministry and activities. Once again, the focus had been in consolidating the gains made, developing their respective leaders, strengthening finances, and enlarging their churches.

i) Victory Family Centre, Belfast –

VFC Belfast reaches out to the local community in different ways. We host the Mum and Tot groups several times a week. We also have our weekly Bible Studies and our Sunday services. For the community we also hold a monthly Movie Night which draws a number of neighbors.

We also organise Family Days through BBQ or picnic at the local park. Northern Ireland Hospice benefit nights with uplifting Gospel music to bless and support those in need. Through these activities we share God’s love, build community and bring hope to all who come.

ii) Victory Family Centre, Glasgow. We have been seeing a steady flow of people joining the church and serving in different areas in the church. Both the Hope Drop-in on and Food bank programmes had helped many in the Community. The Church has been a blessing to many to the Community bringing comfort especially those facing unemployment, loneliness, illness, the list is endless.

In August we had our 2[nd] Victory Community Fun day, and it was a great hit with the community. Everything was free – drinks, food, face painting, bouncy castle for the kids and even the presence of the Fire Brigade and Police car drew many especially the children. Our regularly Life Groups and Prayer meetings goes on as usual. Hoping to have more life groups soon.

iii) Victory Family Centre, Wigan – we have a committed group of people meeting twice weekly for worship and study God’s Word.

We reach out to our community through family activities, games and fun using the Play Shack building in the local park. Once a month on a Saturday we have a Breakfast morning at a local Pub where we share the Gospel, provide a free breakfast followed by testimonies and with an invitation to know the Lord. We have also built a website to provide information about our church

c. Reporting Accountant

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of CHRISTIAN UK FAMILY CENTRE LIMITED

I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31st March 2025 , which are set out on pages 3 to 11.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The 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. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, 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:

. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and

. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities

have not been met: or
