FOR PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
VOLUNTEERS
The church is grateful to the unstinting efforts of its volunteers who are involved in
providing services for the charity. It is estimated that over 2750 hours are provided
by volunteers during the year. If this is conservatively valued at £8.50 per hour,
the volunteer's effort will amount to over £23,375.
REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES
The church continues to enjoy tremendous growth in its physical and spiritual life
during the year, and in the advancement of Christian faith in accordance with the
doctrines set out in the Statement of Faith as contained in our Trust Deed. We
continue to support Compassion a charity that dedicates itself to the welfare of
young children in the impoverished nations of the world.
INVESTMENT POLICY
The trustees have decided that at present, funds should be retained in Banks and
Building Societies, and as far as possible in interest bearing accounts.
RESERVES POLICY
The trustees, policy Is to have unrestricted and uncommitted funds (free reserves)
to cover 3 to 6 months of resources expended which equals to roughly £15,000 to
£30,000 in general funds. They feel that this would enable the current activities to
continue if there is a significant drop in funding. It would obviously be n￿eSSary to
then consider how the funding would be ￿plaCed or activities changed. The present
free reserve is within the policy range, but the trustees are continuing to seek
additional unrestrict￿1 funds to build up its reserves.
PRINCIPAL FUNDING
Funding has been provided mainly through tithes and offerings by church members
and through gift aid. Pledges are also taken for sp￿lfIC projects. Donations were
received towards the church building project.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
The charity continues to explore various ways of spreading the gospel of Christ in
an effettive manner. The Charity plans to increase support for the unemployed by
increasing the capacity of the CAP Job Club Centre. It plans to increase the reach of
the Support love Christmas Initiative in the community by distributing a minimum
of 100 Christmas gift boxes, The charity is also looking to grow in membership and
continue to develop its members to make life-changing impact in society. As a way
of achieving this, the charity intends to launch Family House Fellowships in three
neighbourhoods in Crawley in the coming year.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

TO THE TRusfEES OF THE REDEEMED CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF GOD COURAGE
CEwfRE
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024 which is
set out on pages 9 to 14.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES AND THE EXAMINER
The cha rity'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 settion 142(2) of the
Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of Charities Act 2011.
follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the
Charity Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act). and
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS OF EXAMINER'S sfATEMENT
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 statements below.
EXAMINER'S sfATEMENT
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(l) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respett the
trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:
proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 41 of the Act).
and
accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with
the accounting requirements of Act. or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper
understsnding of the accounts to be reached.
