Trustees’ Annual Report

For the Year Ended 31[st] March 2022

Achievements and performance

We continue to enjoy the advantages and benefits of leasing our church building.

However 2021/22 continued to be a challenging year for us as a congregation, as we continued to recover from covid 19 restrictions. Our church services continued to be live-streamed to help our congregation members, who were still not able to attend services.

The church was able to stay open with all the necessary social distancing and sanitation in place. However, not all of the congregation members returned to church, as the lockdowns and closure of the church had affected them, and this was evident when the church reopened in December 2020. As a church we are gradually rebuilding and looking forward to all that we can do in our community.

Despite the affects of covid 19, the church has managed to maintain its building and we’ve also been able to uphold our commitment to world evangelism, specifically for our churches in Trinidad & Antigua.

In August 2021 we held a Caribbean outdoor event which drew a number of visitors from our local community. We were able to start 2022 with a revival which helped our congregation and restarted our impact teams to other cities including Wakefield and Waltham Cross.

Financial review

The church finances have been affected during and after the lockdown period, however we are hopeful that things will pick up in the coming years.

Declaration

The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS

To the Trustees of

Potter House Christian Centre Nottingham

For the Year Ended 31 March 2022

Charity number 1103146

I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31[st] March 2022, which are set out on Pages 6 and 7

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 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 statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 the 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.

(Continued from page 4)

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:

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

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