the charity as set out in its
governing document|Para 1.17|**The Trust seeks to demonstrate the**
**Christian faith in action by being a**
**church in the Oxford area. Jesus Christ**
**taught us to “Love God with all our**
**heart, mind, soul and strength and to**
**love our neighbour as ourselves”. Our**
**first focus is therefore on prayer and**
**praise to God and secondly on loving**

**Northway area.We still give ongoing**
**support to Majanaim, a children’s home**

**is the main focus of the church.**
**Other activities include working with**
**young people, visiting retirement homes,**
**family camp and working with single**

**to help the integration of the East**
**Timorese community in Oxford, the**
**majority of whom have arrived in the last**
**five years. They are said to number about**
**3000. In 2015 we started regular free**
**English lessons for them, and other**
**immigrants have since joined these.**
**There are now three lesson slots during**
**the week, two in our building and one**
**online.**
**We’ve found there is a great need and**
**believe that this activity is helping to**
**give more social adhesion in the city. We**
**are supported by the council who have**
**assigned workers to help. There is a great**
**need for more teachers to volunteer.**
**Apart from the regular church meetings,**
**we wanted to contribute to the sense of**
**community in the area and invited all our**
**neighbours to a prayer breakfast. This**
**started as a pilot scheme on Edgeway**
**Road, Marston, which has about 100**
**houses. Around 20 people came to the**
**first event in September 2007. This**
**project, called “Streetprayer” and**
**expanded across the city of Oxford and**
**elsewhere. More information can be**

The charity’s trustees consider than 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: - to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT** 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 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 with the 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.
