Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit
The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit in considering the above main activities our charity/church had for this year. Those various activities benefited the members of the charity/church as well as other members of the society by providing opportunities to grow increasingly in Christian faith and to demonstrate the love of God by showing genuine care to everyone most especially to those experiencing challenges in life. The positive and nurturing impacts of feeding the homeless, donating to food banks and visiting the sick or residents in care homes were remarkable.
Policy on grant making
Jesus Reigns Ministries-UK and Jesus Reigns Ministries, Inc. Manila, Philippines share with the same commitment to bring people towards a right and fruitful relationship with God. As the church members are discipled they help transform families, communities and nations where there is love of God, caring and sharing. Grant is given to Jesus Reigns Ministries, Inc. Manila, Philippines for the advancement of this purpose.
Contribution made by volunteers
We are grateful for the valuable contributions from our dedicated volunteers for their time, energy, talent, passion and service to help the charity/church achieve its objectives. Without their consistent effort to serve God and others we would not be able to achieve so much.
Achievements and Performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity
Aside from the regular activities of our charity/church such as worship and prayer, evangelism and discipleship, training and equipping for ministerial services, caring and empowering of every member of the family, we also had JRM-UK Leadership Empowerment held in June 2023 with the purpose of developing the church members in ministry & leadership. This training and leadership principles had also been very beneficial to our members in helping them in their leadership roles necessary for daily living, in school and work places.
JRM-UK was able to join JRM European Summit held in Barcelona last August 2023. We were empowered to advance in our Christian faith and encouraged to be a channel of hope for our families, communities and nations. Every delegate was positively impacted by this experience of meeting other Christian brothers and sisters from different parts in Europe.
JRM-UK had a blessed closing in December 2023 when we held our National Prayer Gathering in Swindon. All local churches had been united in worship, prayer and thanksgiving. As a result, everyone was hopeful for the new year ahead.
In March 2024, we were blessed to reach out to our small community in Kenya by providing them Bibles to help every member of this newly-started church to grow in their faith in God.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees are responsible for preparing the report of the trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of FRS102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) require the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period.
In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Examiner’s Report on accounts for the year ended 30 April 2024
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 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed.
I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA).
It is my responsibility to examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act, 2011 follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Scope of examination
My examination was conducted in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission. This 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 the charity's personnel concerning any such matters. I have not performed an audit and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act;
-
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2018 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I 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.
