The Trustees have pleasure in submitting their report, and accounts for the period to 31st March 2024.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on page

Constitution, objective of the charity, principal activities and organisation of our work

The charity is constituted under a Constitution adopted on 13th October 2005.

The objectives of the charity as set out in the Declaration of Trust are:

(a) The advancement of the Christian faith.

(b) The relief of persons who are in poverty.

(c ) The promotion of good health

(d) The advancement of education

(e ) The rehabilitation of ex-offenders, drugs and alcohol abusers

(f) The provision of recreational facilities for the aged, disabled and those who need the facilities.

The ministry was involved in Christian outreach programmes designed to increase Christian awareness and spread the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Public benefits, development activities and achievements in the year

When planning our activities in the year, the trustees considered the Charities Commission's guidance on public benefit, and in particular the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. We help ordinary people in the community to live out their faith through worship and prayer; learning about the Gospel; and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus Christ.

We used our church van to help Pecan distribution to deliver food parcels to those that needed it in the London Borough of Southwark.

Our youth organised outing to Southend beach and youth evangelism, games and feeding to support the homeless in the community.

Our women fellowship also organised cooking for the homeless in Southwark at Burges Park.

The church organised a youth mentorship programme for the youth in the community.

The Church made monthly donations to orphan children in Pakistan.

The Trustees are pleased to report that the Church continued to be successful spiritually by ministering to many people.

Review of the financial position

The net surplus for the year amounted to £15,205. All of these are attributable to the unrestricted reserves and no fund is allocated to restricted projects.

Mrs Pamela Serwa Amoah

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CHARITY NO 1111669

EVALASTING LIFE INTERNATIONAL MINISTRIES

I report on the Financial Statements of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2024, which are set out on pages 5 to 8 below.

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,
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 my attention.

BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT

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 Trust 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.

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 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.
