The church will continue to relieve financial hardship by the provision of funds, goods or services t o t h e less privileged and those in need. Also the church provides counseling and support to members of the church and the community.

We provide church services, meetings, seminars, events such as Marriage seminars, Youth conferences, Marriage counseling in group meetings and on a one- t o - o n e basis. The church provides Pastoral Counseling to members of the public, both Christians and non- Christians. This is achieved through one to one counseling; and phone counseling is provided whenever is required and we provide counseling in the homes, hospitals and in the prison as well.

We offer monetary and counseling support to members and nonmembers who are unemployed, disabled children/elderly, widows, single parents, and to anyone going through any sort of financial hardship.
We join and affiliate with other churches with similar beliefs and other organisations that are established for the peace and unity of fellow believers and citizens of UK and to tackle and minimise crime within our community especially within our youths.
Achievements and performance
Worship & Prayer
De-Vine Sanctuary throughout the year has offered and still keen to promote a range of services every day for the benefit of members and the general public that so many people have testified of it being both beneficial and spiritual fulfilling.
Everyone is welcome to attend our regular services on Sundays and midweek (Digging Deep). Every other day, we have been able to communicate to members, non members and visitors through the use of text messages to their mobile phones, encouraging them with biblical messages and texts, prayer, words of encouragement and hope, and invitation to upcoming events and programs.
Media
We have a website www.truevinecentre.org.uk where you can listen and watch our activities, know about our past and upcoming events that are beneficial to the public. Through our website, members of the community have benefited from encouraging messages, daily bible verses and prayer of the day. We have taken so many telephone calls and had attendances from members of the public who have been blessed by some the events and activities of the church.
Prayer requests are also sent to the church office where pastor and ministers in the church deal with it instantly. We take messages from our email where people have requested for special prayer on their marriages, youths, children and gaining meaningful employment.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES/MEMBERS OF TRUEVINE CENTER, RCCG
I report on the accounts for the year ended 30 September, 2020 which are set out on the pages above.
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 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
❖ examine the accounts under section 43 of the 1993 Act,
-
❖ to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act, and
-
❖ to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
Basis of Independent Examiner’s Statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 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
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
-
❖ to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act; and
-
❖ to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act have not been met; or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
