OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Some community-based engagements of RCCG Rock of Redemption.
We have some programmes aimed at reaching out to the immediate community these include;
Africa Unite Against Child Abuse (AUACA)
This is a non-government organisation that we work with by holding periodic seminars in the church for their farreaching cardinal programmes that are helping to shape the lives of African children in the UK and also helping Parents in their response to the peculiar problems of raising their children in the United Kingdom. Their work includes;
-
➢ Awareness raising and sensitisation
-
➢ Information, Education and advisory services
-
➢ Advocacy and policy development
-
➢ Community and international development
-
➢ Family support.
Widows Rendezvous
Widows are also part of the people we are seriously concerned about reaching out to and helping. This is a major area of our engagements within the community anchored by one of our ministers who herself is a widow; the aim is to empower widows from all works of life within and outside the UK so as not to be a burden on the state and their families. Talks and workshops are held regularly with an annual main programme where they welcome new members and showcase what the old ones have done with their lives despite their situations to encourage new ones to become positive influences both to their children, in their families and the society.
Back to school
This is a particular passion of our Senior Pastor, who realised some years ago that, the church needs to assist the parents after the summer holidays by giving out free school materials like books, pens and bags and so forth to alleviate their financial burdens after spending to take their children on holidays and buying them stuff. Parents and children alike look forward to this day at the end of summer because it's usually a fun-filled environment where they will be treated with food, drinks and ice cream and after all go home with wonderful grits towards their return to classes.
Drugs and Alcohol Consult
This was aimed at reaching out to those with drug and alcohol problems, for advice and to create an environment where they can liaise together with those in their shoes and who are also trying to be clean. This programme is currently on hold for a while because of Funds, required expertise/staff and government regulations. The trustees are looking for help in this area because of its great impact on the community and our experience when it was piloted in Camberwell SE5.
Tea Time
With the help of volunteers, the church offers tea, coffee, sandwiches and cookies to those that want on Sundays, where anyone can come into a cosy environment and chat over tea or coffee

Youth and Children's Day
This programme is aimed at developing youth and children in the community. Children from different backgrounds come together to show their talents through different presentations, drama, singing, dancing, etc. Parents and children look forward to this day every year because it's usually a fun-filled environment where they eat and drink, have ice cream, and go home with wonderful gifts.
Food and Clothe Bank
This was previously a yearly programme for the less privileged, during the Christmas period but it’s now a monthly . programme where food and clothes hampers are given to old people’s homes, jobless, and homeless every month.
Counselling
We offer free counselling services to the community. Book in counselling from Monday to Friday, and drop in sections on Sundays.
Women Forum
Workshops and Seminars targeted at empowering women in the community. The Healthy Eating and Healthy Living workshop teaches women the benefits of healthy eating and living. Art and Craft workshops are learning flower arrangement and homemaking.
Health and Safety Awareness Day
This is a community awareness programme which has received positive feedback. The church works with the Police, NHS, Fire Brigade and other professionals for the programme. It's aimed at enlightening the community about different information and opportunities available to them. Different speakers, including doctors, nurses, police officers, and fire brigade officials, come together to educate and make information available. There is also an opportunity for people to have a free check of their BMI, Blood Pressure, and check their Body Fat Percentage.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES ROBOJAM
The church facilitates free Computer Training for people from far and near our premises. This also includes free coding classes and building robots for children between the age of 8 -15years
Family Talks
Another community project that has gained popularity from the cradle of our senior pastor; Philip King-Yombo is the family talk slated for the third Sunday of every month. This is a forum where issues that bother on the home, parenting, family finance, in-laws, friends etc. are laid bare and discussed, questions relating to the subject of discussions are presented and experienced members of the community, pastors and elderly people are always on hand to proffer solutions to these challenges This programme has so much gained relevance that the church has recorded steady rise in attendance on these Sundays because it is cross-cultural, cross-denominational, non-biased and plain truth are presented where attendees are equally encouraged to open-up their issues as objectively as they can.

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company 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;
-
➢ prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).
I have no concerns and 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.
