Trustees Report
The Trustees present their annual report and independently examined financial statements for the year ended 31st May 2024.
Structure, Governance and Management
King's Gate Christian Fellowship is a company limited by guarantee (company number 6907625). It is also a registered charity (Charity number 1130035). Both registrations are in England and Wales. The company has dual status and the same people serve as its company directors and charity Trustees. A list of those serving during the year (including any who may have resigned and/or retired) is given on page 3. In this document the term "Trustee" is used but this should also be taken to mean "Director".
Trustees meetings are held face to face at least four times per annum. The day to day "spiritual" leadership and guidance of the Charity is delegated to the "ministry leadership" group.
Public Benefit
The Trustees have complied with the duty set out in section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to public benefit guidance by the commission. All Trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefit from the charity. Details of any reimbursement of expenses made by the Charity to the Trustees are set out in note 9. to the accounts.
Objectives, Activities and Future Developments
The objects of King's Gate Christian Fellowship are defined in its Articles of Association as follows: "to advance the Christian faith in accordance with the statement of beliefs in London and such other parts of the United Kingdom or the World as the Trustees may from time to time see fit"
"to fulfill such other purposes which are exclusively charitable"
"to relieve sickness and financial hardship and preserve good health"
The main ways in which King's Gate Christian fellowship accomplishes its objectives are:
"through adult ministry (this includes prayer, teaching, preaching, counselling and evangelism)."
"through assistance to the needy and the sick"

Trustees Report (continued)
Prayer, teaching and evangelism
King's Gate Christian Fellowship continues to focus on the needs of its congregation in London. With the help and support of members of the congregation and leadership team the charity continues to run Sunday worship services and regular teaching. These events are all open to the Public and the members are encouraged to invite their friends, neighbours and family members.
Assisting the needy and the sick
As in previous years the charity has donated to members in the congregation needing benevolent help. Donations to other charities were made after the year end.
Achievements in the year
During the year the charity contined with its community outreach with meetings and house groups. All these activities were open to the Public.
Financial Review
Trustees continue to review the Charity's financial position. All donations and funds are unrestricted. Most donations are received from congregation members by standing order. The Trustees do not believe the Charity is involved in risky activity. All necessary employers and public liability insurances are held and under constant review. The Charity continues to be in good financial health with accumulated funds of £55,369 at 31st May 2024 (£69,724 at 31st May 2023).
Future Plans
The Trustees continue to support the vision of the leadership group who continue to grow the Charity.
Conclusion
This report has demonstrated that King's Gate Christian Fellowship is accomplishing its objectives which are to spread the message and teachings of Jesus Christ and to help those affected by poverty and sickness. In so doing, it continues to bring benefits to wider society and the community.
The Charity is in a sound financial position and is well placed to build on its work in 2024 and 2025.

Trustees Report (continued)
Statement of Trustees Responsibilities
Company Law requires the Charity Trustees to prepare financial statements for each 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 at the end of the financial year. In doing so, the Trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently,
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP,
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent,
-
state whether applicable UK 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 business.
The Trustees are responsible for maintaining proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial affairs of the Charity and enables 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 hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other activities.
The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website where applicable. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Independent Examiners Report
Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of King's Gate Christian Fellowship.
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31st May 2024 which are set out in "The Trustees Annual report" for the year ended 31st May 2024.
Respective Responsiblities of the Trustees and the Independent Examiner
The Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. They consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act
-
follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners section
-
145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act, and;
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner's statement
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 accounts and seeking explanations from the management committee concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a full audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
Independent Examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matters have come to my attention that give me reasonable cause to believe that:
-
in any material respect the requirement to keep accounting records in accordance with s130 of the 2011 Act, or to prepare accounts which accord with these accounting records and comply with the accounting requirement of the 2011 Act have not been met, or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order for an understanding of the accounts to be reached.

King's Gate Christian Fellowship Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31st May 2024
1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted by the Trustees in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year and in the preceding year.
a) Basis of accounting
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011 (as amended by the Charities Act 2022). They are drawn up on the historical cost accounting basis. The Charity meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
b) Income
All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities when the conditions for receipt have been met and there is reasonable assurance of receipt and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. Where a claim for repayment of income tax has or will be made, such income is grossed up for the tax recoverable.
The following specific policies are applied to categories of income:
Donations
Voluntary income is received by way of donations and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receivable. Donations to which the Charity is entitled but which have not been received by the year end are included in income in the Statement of Financial Activities and shown as debtors in the balance sheet.
Tax reclaimed on monies donated under the Gift Aid scheme
Income under this category is recognised in the financial statements on the date that the underlying donation is received by the Charity, where the tax reclaim is made within three months of the end of the financial year.
c) Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis when a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates. Expenditure on charitable activities comprise those costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

King's Gate Christian Fellowship Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31st May 2024
All costs are allocated between expenditure categories of the Statement of Financial Activities on a consistent basis with the use of resources. Costs related to an activity are allocated directly, others are apportioned on an appropriate basis.
a) Volunteers The value of service provided by volunteers is not incorporated into these financial statements. Further details of the contribution made by volunteers can be found in the Trustees Report.
b) Fund Accounting
The Charity maintains the following type of fund:
Unrestricted Fund
This represents unrestricted income which is expendable at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the objectives of the Charity. Such funds may be held to finance both working capital and capital investment. The Charity has at the moment no designated funds.
c) Tangible Fixed Assets
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis when a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates. Expenditure on charitable activities comprise those costs incurred by the Charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
d) VAT The Charity is exempt from VAT under HMRC registration as its activities are exempt activities.
e) Charitable Commitments
Charitable commitments which are legally binding on the Trustees are accounted for as expenditure in the Statement of Financial Activities. Where the promise of financial support is not binding on the Trustees, such intentions are accounted for by a transfer to a designated reserve. Activities that are to be wholly financed from future income do not form part of such designation and are disclosed in a note to the accounts.
2 DONATIONS
Donations represent restricted and unrestricted income donated by members of the church and visitors at Sunday meetings of the Charity and by standing order.
