Objectives and Activities

Summary of the purposes of the
charity as set out in its governing
document

A) To advance the Christian faith in accordance with
the statement of beliefs appearing in the schedule
hereto in Hinckley Leicestershire and in such other
parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the
directors of the charity (herein called ‘the trustees’)
may from time to time think fit and to fulfil such
other purposes which are exclusively charitable
according to the law of England and Wales and
are connected with the charitable work of the
charity.
B) To relieve sickness and financial hardship and to
promote and preserve good health by the
provision of funds, good or services of any kind,
including through the provision of counselling and
support in such parts of the United Kingdom or the
world as the trustees from time to time may think
fit.

Summary of the main activities in
relation to those purposes for the
public benefit, in particular, the
activities, projects or services
identified in the accounts.
The main activity adopted by the trustees to work
towards its objectives is the establishment of Trinity
Community Church (TCC).
The church runs various activities during the week, in
particular:
- A Sunday service meeting in Wesley House
- Evangelistic courses and events
- Biblical counselling for the benefits of the church
members and wider community
- Regular bible studies in small groups and one to
one
- A regular prayer and communion meeting
- Small groups called ‘Life Groups’, which teach the
Bible, develop community and share the Christian
faith.
- Children and Youth Clubs (IGNITE, for school years
2-6 and Connect Plus for school years 11-13)
- A Parent and Toddler Group - ‘Tiddlywinks’
- Community building social events and evenings.
Many of these activities were taken online during
2020 due to the pandemic, either on our website,
Zoom or our YouTube channel.
The church seeks to operate as a Christian family,
where everyone has a part to play in supporting one
another, especially those who are in need for
example providing meals for those who are sick and
practical help for those in need.
TCC supports and is involved in the activities of the
Midlands Gospel Partnership regionally, the FIEC
nationally and of Acts 29 Europe seeking to promote
the Christian faith internationally.
Statement confirming whether the
trustees have had regard to the
guidance issued by the Charity
Commission on public benefit
When planning our activities the trustees have
considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on
public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance
on charities for the advancement of religion.

Achievements and Performance

Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to the
circumstances of its beneficiaries
and any wider benefits to society
as a whole.

The main achievements of the charity have been
through Trinity Community Church and are listed
above.
TMH and TCC moved into Wesley House at Easter
2019. Wesley House is situated in the centre of
Hinckley and is both an ideal size and location for the
charity and church to further our goals.
Wesley House has needed much renovation. This
has been a community project where all members of
the church and some members of the wider
community, were involved in painting, building, tidying
and fundraising. The new premises are proving to be
an excellent venue for church and community.

Financial Review

Financial Review
Review of the charity’s financial position at the end of the period	See attached accounts.
Statement explaining the policy for holding reserves stating why they are held	Reserves are defined as that part of the income funds that are freely available. The trustees considers that £10,000 is an appropriate level of free reserves sufficient to cover short term expenditure requirements (this equates to around three months expenditure) to cover emergency situations that may arise from time to time. Expenditure ‘requirements’ need to be balanced against ministry needs and the Policy is not an inflexible rule - more a guideline to a desired level. Income is actually quite predictable - and fairly stable - so the risk of a sharp fall in reserves is not considered significant. It is also recognised that holding significant bank balances on a permanent basis contravenes our Lord’s command to be good stewards and serves as a deterrent to church members increasing their giving.
Amount of reserves held	See above.

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Trinity Ministries Hinckley Charitable Company

I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 December 2020.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider than an audit is not required for this year under the Charities Act 2011, s. 144(2) (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under s. 145 of the 2011 Act;

to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under s. 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and

to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner’s report

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 you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evident 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:

(1) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
To keep accounting records in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, s. 386; and
To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of the Companies Act 2006, s. 396 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities

have not been met; or

(2) To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
