Achievements, Performance and Impact
The charity continues to deliver measurable impact across London, the UK, Europe, and internationally, advancing its mission to support communities through spiritual engagement, social action, and practical interventions. Our international activities have sustained community support across Germany, the Republic of Ireland, Nigeria, India, the Republic of Benin, and Céte d’Ivoire.

Trustees’ Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2025 (continued)
Digital engagement continues to extend the charity’s reach beyond physical locations. Through live webcasts, social media platforms such as YouTube and Facebook, and broadcasts on the Faith Channel, the charity has expanded access to its programmes globally. This has enabled broader participation, increased engagement, and improved accessibility for individuals unable to attend in person, strengthening community connection across geographic boundaries.
During the year, the charity delivered a broad programme of community-focused initiatives, including health and cancer awareness seminars, prayer conferences, business workshops, drama productions, musical concerts, and leadership training sessions. These activities have contributed to improved wellbeing, increased knowledge, and enhanced personal and professional development among participants. The charity’s continued investment in training across leadership, communication, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy has equipped beneficiaries with practical skills to improve employability and economic participation.
The food distribution programme, delivered in partnership with Neighbourly, remains a key area of direct community impact. Through collaborations with Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury’s, Lidl, Iceland, Boots, Gail’s Bakery and Pret A Manger, the charity has continued to redistribute surplus food to individuals and families experiencing hardship. This initiative has both reduced food waste and provided consistent access to nutritious food for vulnerable groups, addressing immediate needs while supporting wider community wellbeing.
In addition, the Tabernacle Women have spearheaded a weekly Soup Kitchen initiative, providing hot meals to homeless individuals within the local community. This programme delivers consistent, direct support to those most in need, while also fostering dignity, connection, and a sense of community among beneficiaries.
The Dorcas Group has continued to provide targeted support to vulnerable individuals, including older people, widows, widowers, and those facing financial hardship. Through coordinated emotional, | practical, and financial assistance, the group has strengthened social support networks and reduced isolation within the community.
Youth development remains a core priority. Programmes such as Young Professionals in Christ (YPiC) and Youth of Royal Destiny (YORD) have continued to deliver mentoring, career development, and personal growth opportunities. Complementing these initiatives, the charity has further strengthened its Career and Personal Mentoring Programme, designed to empower, equip, and enable the younger generation to achieve their career and personal aspirations. The programme provides both spiritual and practical guidance through structured one-to-one mentoring relationships, fostering accountability, confidence, and clearer progression pathways for participants.
The charity has also sustained its commitment to education through scholarships, tutoring, mentoring, and study support initiatives. These programmes have contributed to improved academic outcomes, increased confidence, and enhanced future prospects for participating students. Complementary leadership and career development activities continue to prepare young people for long-term success.
The “Catch Them Young (CtY)” programme continues to deliver early-stage impact by supporting the personal and moral development of children under 12. Through structured learning, workshops, and educational activities, the programme is helping to build strong foundational values and positive developmental outcomes.

Following the acquisition of a permanent place of worship in Bristol, the charity has seen clear positive outcomes. The Bristol congregation has successfully transitioned into the new facility and is experiencing steady growth. The building is now operating as a stable hub for worship and community engagement, enabling expanded outreach activity and strengthening the charity’s regional presence.
Progress has also been made on the planned redevelopment of the Bethesda Building in New Cross Road, London SE1!4. During the year, the charity submitted a full planning application for the site, marking a significant milestone in advancing the project. Planning permission is currently awaited.

-
e Provision ofa modern worship facility to support increased participation and engagement
-
e Delivery of affordable housing to address local housing needs
-
e Establishment of a children’s day centre to support working families
-
e Creation of multipurpose community spaces for education, support services, and social interaction
This project represents a strategic investment in long-term community infrastructure, with the potential to deliver sustained social, economic, and spiritual benefits.

Financial Review
The movement of the Charity’s financial resources for the year is shown in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 9. The highlights are:
-
e total incoming resources of £2,411,121 (including Gift Aid recoverable of £334,580);
-
e total outgoing resources of £1,870,396; and
-
e ageneral fund of £10,198,135 carried forward to 2025/26.
source for the Charity is donations from the congregations at services held.
It is the policy of the Charity to maintain sufficient unrestricted funds to cover management and administration costs for a period of 3 months, When deciding the level of reserves, the Trustees take into consideration the forecasts for levels of income and expenditure for the coming year, the reliability of each source of income and the prospects for opening up new sources. The Trustees consider the current level of unrestricted funds maintained by the Charity is deemed adequate. In the light of the long-term loans taken out on the freehold properties purchased for the Charity’s intended use, sufficient reserves must be maintained to fund the related finance costs and satisfy the loan covenants until these loans are fully repaid.
Restricted funds are funds that account for situations where a donor requires that a donation must be spent on a particular purpose or where funds have been raised for a specific purpose.
Statement of Trustees’ responsibilities
|
|

-
e — select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; e — observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; e make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; e state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CHRIST FAITH TABERNACLE INTERNATIONAL
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Christ Faith Tabernacle International (the ‘charitable company’) for the year ended 30 June 2025 which comprise a Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and the United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Finance Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
® give atrue and fair view of the state of the charitable company’s affairs as at 30 June 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended,
-
e have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
e have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon, Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CHRIST FAITH TABERNACLE INTERNATIONAL (continued)
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
-
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
-
® the information given in the trustees’ report, which includes the directors’ report prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
e the trustees’ report, which includes the directors’ report prepared for the purposes of company law, has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements,
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the charitable company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the directors’ report included within the trustees’ report.
|
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
e adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
-
e the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
e certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
e we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
|
- e the trustees were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies’ regime and take advantage of the small companies’ exemption in preparing the trustees’ report and from the requirement to prepare a strategic report.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on pages 4 and 5 the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that included our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CHRIST FAITH TABERNACLE INTERNATIONAL (continued)
Extent to which the audit considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud Discussions with and enquiries of management and those charged with governance were held with a view to identifying those laws and regulations that could be expected to have a material impact on the financial statements, During the engagement team briefing, the outcomes of these discussions and enquiries were shared with the team, as well as consideration as to where and how fraud may occur in the entity.
The following laws and regulations were identified as being of significance to the entity:
- Those laws and regulations considered to have a direct effect on the financial statements include UK financial reporting standards, charity SORP, company law, and pensions legislation.
Audit procedures undertaken in response to the potential risks relating to irregularities (which include fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations) comprised of: inquiries of management and those charged with governance as to whether the entity complies with such laws and regulations; enquiries with the same concerning any actual or potential litigation or claims; inspection of relevant legal correspondence; review of board minutes; testing the appropriateness of journal entries; and the performance of analytical review to identify unexpected movements in account balances which may be indicative of fraud.
No instances of material non-compliance were identified, However, the likelihood of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is limited by the inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities, the effectiveness of the entity’s controls, and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. Irregularities that result from fraud might be inherently more difficult to detect than irregularities that result from error, As explained above, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK).
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.fre.org.uk/auditorresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

CHRIST FAITH TABERNACLE INTERNATIONAL
Notes to the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2025
1, Accounting policies
Charity information
Christ Faith Tabernacle International is a private company limited by guarantee incorporated in England and Wales. Bethesda Building, 56-62 New Cross Road, London, SE14 5BD.
(a) Basis of preparing the financial statements The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”), “Accounting and Reporting by Charities” the Statement of Recommended Practice for Charities applying FRS 102, the Companies Act 2006 and UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. The company is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.
The accounts are prepared in Sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
Under Companies Act 2006 s454, on a voluntary basis, the trustees can amend these financial statements if they subsequently prove to be defective.
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the fundamental accounting concept of going concern is applied. In 2011 the charitable company purchased a freehold property which was financed by way of a bank loan of £3.885m. In light of this, cash flow forecasts have been prepared on a monthly basis to ensure the charitable company complies with the bank covenants, which it has done, and it is considered that the charitable company will be able to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
On the basis of the foregoing the Trustees consider that the going concern concept continue to be appropriate and has therefore been applied.
(b) Incoming resources Voluntary income including donations, gifts and legacies are recognised where there is entitlement, which is generally on receipt, and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis.
{c) Tangible fixed assets
All relevant assets are capitalised at cost at the time of purchase. Assets are depreciated from the date that they are ready for use.
Depreciation has been charged on the freehold property in order to write off the buildings over their estimated useful lives at the rate of 2% - 15% per annum on cost. Depreciation is provided to write off the cost of other fixed assets over their estimated useful lives at the rate of 15% - 25% per annum on cost. : The Trustees review the carrying value for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

-
e Cost of generating voluntary funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income.
-
e Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charitable company in the delivery of its activities for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
-
e Governance costs include those costs associated with meeting the constitutional and statutory requirements of the charitable company and include the audit fees and costs linked to the strategic management of the charitable company.
-
e Allcosts are allocated between the expenditure categories of the Statement of Financial Activities on a basis designed to reflect the use of the resource. Costs relating to a particular activity are allocated directly; others are apportioned on an appropriate basis.
(e) Funds General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charitable company and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds that account for situations where a donor requires that a donation must be spent on a particular purpose or where funds have been raised for a specific purpose. There were no such funds at 30 June 2025 (2024 - £nil),
(f) Finance and operating leases Assets purchased under finance leases are capitalised as fixed assets, and the obligations under such agreements are included in creditors. The difference between the capitalised cost and the total obligation under the lease represents the finance charges. Finance charges are written off to the SOFA over the period of the lease so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge.
Rentals applicable to operating leases are charged to the SOFA over the period in which the cost is incurred.
(g) Employee benefits The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received,
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the charity is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
(h) Retirement benefits Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

- (i) Financial instruments The charity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the charity’s balance sheet when the charity becomes party to the contractual provision of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transactions is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of operations from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Fund’s contractual obligation expires or are discharged or cancelled.

17. Critical accounting estimates and judgement
In the application of the charity’s accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods,
Annual depreciation charged for the tangible assets is sensitive to changes in estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets, which are ones of the areas where judgement has been applied.
