Objects of the charity
The main charitable objectives of The Reconciliation Ministries as set out in the objectives contained in the company's memorandum of association are:
The advancement of the Christian religion and to relieve poverty and sickness in accordance with Christian principles in the United Kingdom and in such other parts of the world as the Trustees may from time to time think fit.
The aims of our charity are to preach the gospel in the city of London with an operational focus in Preston Borough Our aims fully reflect the purposes that the charity was set up to further.
Ensuring Our Work Delivers Our Aims
We review our aims, objectives and activities each year. This review looks at what we achieved and the outcomes of our work in the previous 12 months. The review looks at the success of each key activity and the benefits they have brought to those groups of people we are set up to help. The review also helps us ensure our aims, objectives and activities remained focused on our stated purposes. We have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aims and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
The Focus of Our Work
Our main objectives for the year continues to be the advancement of the Christian religion and the relief of poverty and sickness. The strategies we used to meet these objectives includes:
-
Provision of Weekly Church Services on Sunday to minister to the physical, spiritual and material needs of the congregants.
-
Provision of Special Events and Meetings to meet the specific needs of target groups in the Church such as Men, Women, Youth and Children.
-
Focusing on the Material needs of certain members undergoing difficult financial situations.
-
Working with other Christian agencies and Churches in Preston to advance the preaching of the Gospel.
-
Provision of Pastoral Care for Congregants and other members of the community
-
Missionary and Outreach Work
How Our Activities Deliver Public Benefit
Our main activities and who we try to help are described below. All our charitable activities focus on the the relief of poverty and sickness.
Who used and benefited from our Services?
Our Church Services are presented with both the regular congregant and the visitor or seeker in mind. We minister to the physical, mental and spiritual needs of the whole man in our services giving specific consideration to the seekers or new comers in our midst who may not necessarily have a church background and as such may not understand the processes and procedures of Christianity.
We have also helped relieve poverty and hardship amongst both regular and irregular congregants who are suffering from a period of financial hardship due to unemployment and lack of financial resources.

Trustees' Annual Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2023
Financial Review
The trustees approve an annual budget and give regular attention to financial results, variance from budgets and cash flow. Income was principally derived from the generous gifts and voluntary support of donors as well as revenue from activities to further the charity's projects.
For the year, the charity's income (including revenue from other activities) was £271,858 (2022: £220,964) and its expenditure was £158,971 (2022: £128,739), which resulted in a surplus of £112,887 (2022: Surplus of £92,225).
The trustees have considered the charity’s current financial position and projections for the coming 12 months. The trustees are satisfied that the charity is and will remain solvent through that period.
Principal Funding Sources
The principal funding sources for the charity are currently by way of Donations and Gifts from congregants through the offering basket passed during Church services
Reserves Policy
The Board of Trustees has examined the Charity's requirements for reserves in light of the main risks to the organisation. It has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the charity should be between 3 and 6 months of the expenditure.
The expenditure for year ended 31st December 2023 is £158,971 and therefore the targeted reserves should be between £39,743 and £79,485 in general funds. The reserves are needed to meet the working capital requirements of the charity and the trustees are confident that at this level they would be able to continue the current activities of the Charity in the event of a significant drop in funding. This general reserve policy has been met this year as in previous years.
Plans for Future Periods
The Charity plans continuing the activities outlined above in the forthcoming years subject to satisfactory funding arrangements.
Plans are also being developed to become more active within the Preston community.
The Charity and Covid-19
The Covid-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on The Reconciliation Ministries since the introduction of control measures in March 2020. The Charity has had to adapt its operating model and religious practices to cope of with a physically dispersed congregation. These adjustments were most acute for our congregation, who are primarily from disadvantaged and low-income backgrounds, including millennials and senior citizens.
The effect of the pandemic has necessitated significant investment in digital insfrastructure to enable smooth running of church operations to meet congregational needs.
The implications on Church life have become most severe in the below areas:
a. Inability to physically visit congregation members at hospitals and those in care;
b. Cancellation of face-to-face worship services, including weddings, festivals and funerals;
c. Cancellation of missions and pilgrimages;
d. Deterioration in mental health and wellbeing of those in isolation, particulary elderly congregation members; e. Diminished sense of community and engagement with worship.

The Reconciliation Ministries
Trustees' Annual Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2023
As we begin to emerge from an extended period of sheltering and social distancing, there are residual concerns about attendance, engagement and income.
We have set out below interventions undertaken to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on worship, income and community engagement:
a. Provision of Hybrid Services: Church services, programs and teachings have been delivered online since restrictions were put in place by the government. However, during the period of relaxed restrictions, the charity operated with limited capacity and therefore continued to provide online services simultaneously.
b. We broadcast from the church building and other locations using collaboration tools (Zoom) and social media platforms (Youtube, Facbook, Twitter and Instagram).
- c. Sensitization of church members on use of online platforms to make donations.
Structure, Governance and Management
Governing Document
The Organisation is a charitable company limited by guarantee, incorporated on 11th October 2005. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10.
Recruitment and Appointment of Trustees
The directors of the company are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the company's Articles are known as trustees. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association the trustees are elected to serve for a period of three years after which they must be re-elected at the next Annual General Meeting.
All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity.
Due to the nature of Charity work, trustees appointed have been so selected on the basis of their faith, strength of character, skills set in the area of business management and growth and commitment to the vision of the charity.
Trustees Induction and Training
Most trustees are already familiar with the practical work of the charity. Additionally new trustees would be invited as required and encouraged to attend a series of short training sessions to familiarise themselves with the charity and the context within which it operates. These sessions would be jointly led by the Chair of Trustees and the Chief Executive of the Charity and cover:
o The Obligations of Trustees
o The Main documents which set out the operational framework for the charity including the Memorandum and Articles.
o Resourcing and the current finanicial position as set out in the latest published accounts o Future plans and objectives
A Question & Answer pack would be prepared which draws information from various Charity Commission publications signposted through the Commission's guide "the Essential Trustee" as a follow up to these sessions. This will be distributed to all new trustees along with the Memorandum and Articles and the latest financial statements.

Financial risk is mitigated through the adoption of comprehensive budgeting and reporting processes. Policy documents relating to risk and compliance issues are reviewed and updated annually. Current policies include:

Organisation
The Reconciliation Ministries is governed by a Board of Trustees elected to serve the charity and run its affairs. Annually the Board reviews the range of skills it has available and uses its power of co-option to ensure that gaps are filled. There are a number of other criteria that a trustee must meet. The Board of Trustees are assisted by the Department leaders. There are two trustees on the Board of Leaders.
The Board of Trustees meet quarterly and are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the Charity. A scheme of delegation is in place and day to day responsibility for the provision of the services the Chief Executive. He is ably assisted by an adminstration staff who implement day to day operations. The adminstrative team continue to develop their skills and working practices in line with good practice.
Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company as at the balance sheet date and of its incoming resources and applications of resources, including income and and expenditure, for the financial year. In preparing those financial statements the Trustees should follow best practice and:
o Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
o Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
o Prepare the financial statements on the on going basis unless it is in appropriate
to presume that the charity will continue in business.

In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner’s statement

Notes forming part of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023
1. Statutory Information
The charity is a charitable company limited by guarantee and is incorporated in the United Kingdom. The Company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.
2. Accounting Policies
These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the "Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) ("the Charities SORP"), with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102"), with the Companies Act 2006 and with the Charities Act 2011. The charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity as set out in FRS 102.
The principles adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below.
a). Going concern
The trustees (who are the charitable company's directors for the purposes of company law) have assessed whether the use of the going concern basis is appropriate and have considered possible events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of the charity to continue as a going concern. The trustees have made this assessment for a period of at least one year from the date of approval of the financial statements. In particular the trustees have considered the charity's forecasts and projections and the possible implications should projected income and/or expenditure vary unexpectedly. The trustees have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The charity therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
b). Income
Income including investment income is recognised in the period in which the charity becomes entitled to receipt, the amount receivable can be measured with reasonable certainty, and receipt is probable. For the most part, income is generally recognised when it is received. Income is only deferred when the charity has to fulfil conditions before becoming entitled to it or where the donor has specified that the income is to be expended in a future period.
Income from donations and legacies includes:
i). Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable.
ii). Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.
iii). Goods donated for distribution to beneficiaries are recognised as income when receivable at fair value
(being an estimate of the amount it would cost to purchase those items).
The charity relies on volunteers to carry out many of its activities. However, in accordance with the SORP, the value of these services has not been included in these financial statements as they cannot be reliably measured.
Page 11
The Reconciliation Ministries Notes forming part of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023
When donated goods are distributed an expense in respect of those items is included in the Statement of Financial Activities. At the year end any goods that have not been distributed are recognised as stock.
Income from charitable activities represents income receivable from goods, services and facilities supplied in furtherance of the charity's charitable objects. It includes income from fundraising events and other investments for the purpose of charity.
The charity has taken the view that it has a major charitable activity, namely alleviating poverty and sicknesses, and all income from donations, legacies and charitable activities is in respect of this major activity.
c). Expenditure
Expenditure, including irrecoverable VAT, is recognised when it is incurred or, if earlier, when a legal or constructive obligation for a payment arises provided that it is probable that settlement will be required and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.
The charity makes grants to other institutions and individuals to further its charitable objectives. Grants payable are recognised as constructive obligations arise, which is generally when the charity expresses a commitment to the recipient that can be measured reliably and then only to the extent that any conditions associated with the grant are outside of the control of the charity.
The Charities SORP requires charities with income over £500,000 to allocate costs to the various activities undertaken by the charity. The nature of the work of the charity is considered to be so integrated that the core charitable activity costs are considered to be for the one activity.
Governance costs, which are included in expenditure on charitable activities but are identified separately in the notes to the accounts, includes costs associated with the independent examination of the financial statements, compliance with Constitutional and statutory requirements and any other expenditure incurred on the strategic management of the charity.
d). Fund Accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes. Restricted funds are donations which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors; they include donations received from appeals for specific activities or projects.
e). Tangible Fixed assets
Fixed assets (excluding investments) are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The costs of minor additions or those costing below £1,000 are not capitalised. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of each asset over its expected useful life, which in all cases is estimated at 4 years.
Investments held as fixed assets are revalued at mid market value at the blance sheet date and the gain or loss taken to the Statement of Financial Activities.
Page 12
The Reconciliation Ministries
Notes forming part of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023
f). Stocks
Stocks of donated items held for distribution to beneficiaries are measured at fair value.
g). Pension Scheme arrangements
The charity operates defined contribution pension schemes for its employees. Obligations for contributions to these schemes are recognised as an expense when the liability arises. The assets of these schemes are held separately from those of the charity in independently administered funds.
h). Taxation
As a charity, The Reconciliation Ministries is exempt from tax on income and gains falling within Section 505 of the Taxes Act 1988 or s256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992 to the extent that these are applied to its charitable objects. No tax charges have risen in the charity.
The company is a registered charity; it has taken advantage of the various reliefs from taxation available to charities and no tax is payable on the charity's income.
i). Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement
The trustees do not consider that there are any material sources of estimation or uncertainty at the balance sheet date that could result in a material adjustment to the carrying values of assets and liabilities in the next reporting period
