and is registered both at the Company House (as a company) and with Charity Commission as a charity in its right.

Page 2 of 11

Whilst the church has an inspirational spiritual leader, the church has directors and members who service as trustees of the charity in accordance with Charities Act 2006.

The governing of the Charity is entirely the responsibility of the Board of Directors / Trustees and is independent and free from any external influence.

The Board of Trustees meet regularly to manage its affairs and must submit accounts on an annual basis to both the Company House and the Charity Commission

and must comply with both charity and company laws. There is one full time staff and about twenty volunteers.

Trustees have responsibilities of good governance by ensuring the overall direction, effectiveness, supervision and accountability of the charity as follows:

agreeing the purpose of the charity and that the charity makes a difference by advancing the object of the charity. agreeing broad strategies to carry out the charity’s purpose effectively including ensuring that policies and activities achieve those objectives.

accounting for the charities performance.that the charity is well run and efficient. that problems are identified early and dealt with appropriately.

preservation of the reputation and integrity of the sector. compliance with law and regulation making sure the charity is run in a way that is legal, responsible and effective.

However, the Board of Directors / Trustees must ensure good governance as they rely on many different people to be able to govern well – staff and in particularly,

the chief officer, volunteers, advisors and others with interest or stake in the charity.

The principal accounting policies adopted by the Charity, which is a public benefit entity, in the preparation of the accounts are as follows.

1.1 Basis of preparation

These accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the inclusion of charitable properties and fixed asset investments and investment properties at valuation.

These accounts have been prepared in accordance with “Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)” (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011.

These accounts are presented in pounds sterling and rounded to the nearest pound.

1.2 Going concern

The Trustees have prepared financial projections, taking into consideration the current economic conditions and have, at the time of approving these accounts, a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
