Trustees' Annual Report continued
Year ended 31st December 2022
Reserves policy The reserves held at the end of the year in the unrestricted funds were small. This is after deficits in previous years mainly due to the costs necessarily incurred in the development of this new Church and its activities. Continued effort will be made by the Trustees to increase and maintain reserves at a prudent level in order to be able to meet future commitments.
The Trustees have approved the above report.

Independent Examiners' Report to the Trustees of The Warehouse Church UK
We report on the accounts of the charity (number 1104359) for the year ended 31st December 2022 set out on pages 4 to 9.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiners
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 our responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
• follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
• state whether particular matters have come to our attention.
Basis of independent examiners' statement
Our 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 examiners' statement
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention:
1 which gives us 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 our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

THE WAREHOUSE CHURCH UK
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting
The financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis under the historical cost convention, in accordance with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice) 2019 (FRS 102) and applicable accounting standards.
The Charity is a public benefit entity.
Exemption has been taken from preparing a cash flow statement on the grounds that none of the size criteria are exceeded by the Charity.
These accounts are presented in sterling and rounded to the nearest whole (£) pound.
Going Concern
The accounts have been prepared on the going concern basis as the Trustees believe that sufficient financial support will be continued, as hitherto, from donors and major creditors while efforts are made to put in place sufficient reserves to support the work of the Church.
Incoming resources
All income arising in the year is included in the financial statements including the gift aid tax relief relating to the year but received after the Balance Sheet date.
Resources expended
Expenditure for the year is included on a full accruals basis.
Foreign Currency
Foreign currency receipts and payments are accounted for at the exchange rate ruling at the time of the transaction. Any gains or losses are therefore included in the relevant income or expenditure.
Funds structure
The Charity has no endowment funds and designates no funds for specific purposes. Restricted funds received in the year for specific projects or purposes have been expended in the year while unspent monies given for specific projects have been retained in the restricted fund. See note 11.
Stock
There were no stocks on hand at the end of the year.
