STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
RCCG HOUSE OF GLORY FOR ALL NATIONS is incorporated as a company limited by guarantee. It was constituted with a Memorandum and Article of Association registered on 26 May 2005 and was registered with the Charity Commission as a charity in England and Wales on 22 February 2008.
APPOINTMENT OR ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Trustees are appointed and or co-opted under the terms of the charity's governing document.
POLICIES ADOPTED FOR THE INDUCTION AND TRAINING OF NEW TRUSTEES
The induction process for newly appointed Trustees comprises of an initial meeting with the chair and other Trustees, followed by short meetings with the Parish Pastor on the powers and responsibilities of the Trustees.
ORGANISATIONAL STRUCTURE AND DECISION MAKING
The charity is organised so that the Trustees meet regularly to manage its affairs. The Parish Pastor manages the day to day administration of the church with assistance from the ministers.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION
RCCG-HOUSE OF GLORY FOR ALL NATIONS is a parish of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) which has parishes all over the world. The parish's relationship with RCCG is governed by an 'Agreement for Common purposes'.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those relating to the operations and finances of the charity, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposures to major risks. However, consultation and review of our systems are regularly undertaken, in order to ensure they remain up to date and effective.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The principal object is the advancement of Christian faith in accordance with the statement of beliefs of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, and the relief of poverty. To achieve its objectives, the church adopted the following strategies:
Page 3
RCCG - HOUSE OF GLORY FOR ALL NATIONS
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Running Sunday worship services and midweek bible study; regular prayer meetings, workshops and seminars.
Supporting other charities and Christian events.
PUBLIC BENEFITS
The Church's Sunday and mid-week services as well as prayer meetings are open to the general public to build on their Christian faith. Apart from its Church activities, the charity was involved in the following public benefit efforts:
-
Holding outreaches in areas of interest to our community, such as care homes and foodbank.
-
Despite the adverse impact of COVID-19 pandemic during the year, we shared the joy of Christmas with residents (individuals, families, and elderly ones) through the distribution of hampers, termed Christmas Lunch on Jesus. Food hampers were also delivered to Hounslow Food Box.
-
We made donations to the British Red Cross Society, the Royal British Legion, the Samaritan Purse, Great Ormond Street Children's charity and others.
-
The Charity gave out the yearly Progressive Education Award for 2020/21. This is an initiative introduced to encourage/motivate young people gaining admission into university or taking up apprenticeship. A one-off amount was given to each one to help with their school supplies.
Our efforts are geared towards supporting the programmes of our local community, promoting integration and cohesion in our community, and impacting the lives of the young people and the elderly.
In establishing the annual plan and activities for the year, which will fulfil the overall aims of the organisation, the Trustees considered the principles of public benefits' testing at the time in line with the ethos of the Charity's objects of advancing Christian faith in the United Kingdom and worldwide and the relief of poverty.
The Trustees are aware of the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and have taken them into account where relevant, in their planning and decision making.
GRANT MAKING POLICY
The church supports visiting ministers of the gospel both within and outside the RCCG. Support is also given to RCCG Central Office, World Evangelism Mission, Festival of Life and other RCCG programmes. The Church supports other charities and missionary organisations that share its objects in the advancement of Christian faith and relief of poverty. The church gives occasional welfare grant to congregational members who are in need, after a careful and thorough assessment.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
VOLUNTEERS
The church is grateful for the unstinting efforts of its volunteers who are involved in providing services for the charity. It is estimated that over 2250 hours are provided by volunteers during the year. If this is conservatively valued at £8.50 per hour, the volunteers effort will amount to over £19,125. Strategic training/development programmes were provided to the volunteers to enhance the quality of services they rendered to the Charity.
IMPACT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Due to the impact of COVID-19 pandemic that was unleashed upon our world throught the period under review, the church organisation continued to carry out its activities using hybrid approach (on site, with all the guidelines observed as well as online via ZOOM platform). Many families in the Church and community were adversely affected by the lockdown. As a result of this, we supported a few families within our church and the community with a one-off grocery vouchers to support their shopping. We also donated basic computer equipment to a family with teenagers having serio home schooling challenge due to lack of computer. We equally made donations following requests for emergency support by a few organisations.
REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES
The church continues to enjoy tremendous growth in its physical and spiritual life during the year, and in the advancement of Christian faith in accordance with the doctrines set out in the Statement of faith contained in our constitution.
RESERVES POLICY
The trustees' policy is to have unrestricted and uncommitted funds (free reserves) to cover 3 to 6 months of resources expended which equals roughly £12,000 - £24,000. They feel that this would enable current activities to continue if there is any significant drop in funding. It would obviously be necessary then to consider how the funding would be replaced or activities changed. The present free reserve is above the policy range but the trustees are continuing to seek additional funds to further boost the reserves.
PRINCIPAL FUNDING
Funding has been provided mainly through tithes and offerings by church members and through donations. Pledges are also taken for specific projects.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Charity's financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2021 show a net increase of funds of £9,761 (2020: £6,311).

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
The charity continues to explore various ways of spreading the gospel of Christ in an effective manner. The charity is also looking to grow in membership and continue to develop its members to make life-changing impact in the community through strategic training and development programmes.
The Charity intends to secure a permanent place of worship that will enable it facilitate the various forms of worship expression amongst its members. The new structure will have the state-of-the-art facilities that will further enhance the children and youth training/development. The new structure will also have a multi-purpose hall that will be made available for the use of the members of the cummunity. A team has been set up to identify a suitable facility within 2 miles radius of present place of worship.
As part of its future developments, the Charity is also planning to acquire a suitable means of transportation for effective, meaningful and productive evangelism in furtherance of its principal object, and to support and facilitate movement of vulnerable and less privileged people within its congregation, in attending services.

STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the annual report and financial statements in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
Charity law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the Trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the United Kingdom Generally Acceptable Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). The financial statements are required to give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the Directors are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
Make judgement and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to
-
presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees recognise their responsibilities to keep proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and henceforth taking steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The appended financial statements have been prepared on the accruals basis and have been examined by an independent examiner, whose report is also appended.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT FOR YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
TO THE TRUSTEES OF RCCG - HOUSE OF GLORY FOR ALL NATIONS
I report on the accounts of the charity for the period ended 30 June 2021 which is set on pages 9 - 15
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES AND THE EXAMINER
The Charity Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity's Trustees consider that an audit is not required for the period under section 476 of the Companies Act 2006 and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section145 of Charities Act 2011;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity
-
Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS OF MY EXAMINATION
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 account, 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 statements below.
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 trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:
-
proper accounting records are not kept in accordance with the companies Act; and
-
accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Companies Act 2006; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
