Report of the Trustees
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of 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) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The advancement of the Christian religion and education, in particular, but not exclusively by the establishment, assistance and support of charitable organisations and activities for the promotion of Christian missionary educational and evangelical work as well as through the holding of prayer meetings, lectures, publications, distribution of Christian literature, audio visual aids, books, pamphlets, leaflets, films and other materials to enlighten others about the Christian religion.
To provide or assist in the provision of facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who may have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disability, financial hardship or social circumstances with the object of improving their conditions of life.
The relief of poverty, in particular by the provision of grant assistance to the impoverished.
Volunteers
All our activities are regularly supported by 50 plus volunteers and growing.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
Our three-day annual event, held in June 2023, was a success and was well attended as last year's. We were, once again, able to extend the scope of our outreach to many and provided much needed wellbeing support throughout the year.
We successfully maintained our weekly activities, whether online or face to face. Many were strengthened spiritually with some visitors subsequently becoming members. Our ability to pursue our charitable purpose remains unabated.
Sadly, our efforts to secure a new permanent home, through our sponsors, did not come to fruition. Notwithstanding, we continue to look for a suitable location that will meet our growing needs.
All in all, many positive wellbeing outcomes were achieved pursuant to our objectives.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of THE WEST LONDON REVIVAL BOOKSHOP
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of THE WEST LONDON REVIVAL BOOKSHOP
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of THE WEST LONDON REVIVAL BOOKSHOP (the Trust) for the year ended 31 March 2024.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under Section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.
