Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Para 1.20 Tenerife Family Church (TFC) continued
to offer spiritual and practical support to
all nationalities, both residents and
visitors to Tenerife, seeking to advance
the Christian Faith in practical ways
through actions which attempt to bring
relief to persons in conditions of need or
hardship. Addressing both Spiritual &
Material hardships exacerbated by fear of
the future and the lack of employment, as
a result of the aftermath of Covid-19.
Specifically Christian spiritual support
through regular live and pre-recorded
services, Christian Biblical Words of
support, and encouragement through
events on local radio and YouTube. A
Christmas Carol Service was held having
been widely advertised.
The annual Harvest Festival was held in
the largest English speaking school in
Tenerife and food donated by parents
was distributed to those in need.
The ‘House of Hope’ rehabilitation facility
provided accommodation, Material and
Spiritual support to individuals
recovering and being rehabilitated post
substance dependencies.
The facilities of funeral services,
conducted on a purely voluntary payment
basis continued throughout the year, as
did the support for the bereaved families.
Material support of wider local society in
serious need through provision of food
and other essential items, mainly donated
by church attendees and from the
Harvest Festival.

Although the Living Room, as a centre for support of those working in the Holiday and Leisure sector on the island, was closed for the year, volunteers continued activities outside of the building. Typical support was Material & Spiritual support of Reps losing jobs, feeling suicidal, helping UK workers return to the UK, and general befriending those in despair and desperate situations. Hospital visiting of English speaking patients was continued by invitation. Counselling of distressed/abused Women was able to continue and supported women practically, spiritually and emotionally, including supporting into the Spanish Government Benefit & Support System for these women and others. Informal support by the congregation also includes in-home visits, taxiing people to hospital and doctor’s appointments, doing shopping for those of limited mobility, and similar support activities.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Tenerife Family Church

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Tenerife Family Church (the charity) for the year ended 31st December 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn.

I understand that this has been done in order for financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

3 the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
