The Dunamis Fellowship Trust

Report of the Trustees

for the Year Ended 31 December 2022

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The Trust was granted charitable status on 05 January 2007 and is hereafter referred to as the DFT. The stated objects of the charity are expressed as the advancement of the Christian faith by:

1) Making disciples of Jesus Christ and

2) Educating and training Christian leaders, particularly - but not exclusively - those adhering to churches in the reformed tradition.

The Trust fulfils and delivers its objects through the ministry of The Dunamis Fellowship in Britain and Ireland, hereafter, referred to as the DFB&I. The Trust trustees have oversight, control, legal and spiritual authority over the DFB&I and all and any ministry activities which it manages and delivers. The whole organisation is a voluntary Fellowship into which people normally opt into on an annual basis. The DFB&I is the regional expression, covering the geographic area of the UK and Ireland, of the wider Dunamis Fellowship International around the world. The Trust has an expressed intent to co-operate with the Holy Spirit within the worldwide Dunamis Fellowship International whilst fulfilling its objects within its regional focus. The DFT and therefore the DFB&I does not exist solely for the benefit of the Fellowship itself but rather the benefit of all and any interested individuals, churches and organisations. Opting into the DFB&I is not a requirement for access to the DFT's ministry but rather is a voluntary response after partaking in the training offered. Then being inspired by God resulting in a wish to serve Him in a wider context as well as the local community. There are no membership fees or subscriptions since the DFT operates on a faith basis and therefore relies on donations to both maintain and develop its ministries.

The Trust deed gives the Trustees the authority and responsibility to administer the Trust's income and property pursuant to the Trust's objectives (see deeds 4.1). The DFT through the DFB&I currently operates training courses, makes grants where appropriate depending on available funding, and is developing new areas of project work and ideas within the Dunamis context. The deed allows the Trustees to hold money in reserve for special projects and or against future expenditure.

Procedures and Policy for Grant Making

There were no grant requests that required the Trustees to meet and consider them.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Management and Governance Arrangements

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.

The DFT trust deed provides for a maximum of 5 trustees in 2022, a quorum for meetings is 3 and motions are carried by simple majority with the Chair having a 2nd 'casting vote' should there be a tie. In the event of Trustee resignation(s), new Trustee(s) are identified and appointed by the remaining Trustees in consultation with PRMI (Presbyterian Reformed Ministries International). This provides an essential external check for the DFT and forms part of the Trust deed clause 4.2 the wording of which can be found in supplemental deed dated 15th Dec 2006. One of the existing Trustees, normally the Chair, is responsible for new Trustee induction.

The Trustees regularly review current and potential risks to the charity, these included the following:

• Cash Flow.

• Core Costs.

• Records held on a Secure Cloud Platform.

• On-Line Accounting software security.

• Retreat and Event insurance:

• Public Liability

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of XYZ Charity

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2022 which are set out on pages 7 to 9.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

• 1.accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

• 2.the accounts do not accord with those records.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The accounts for the year ended 31 December 2021 were prepared under the accruals concept, the financial information is therefore not comparable.
