During the reporting year, we relocated to a new venue at War Memorial Hall, Gubbins Lane Harold Wood where we continued our Sunday Worship and other weekly activities. Our meetings are open to all to attend and make contributions. Sunday Worship provides the avenue for parishioners and attendees to put faith into practice, learn about the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and develop their knowledge and trust in Jesus Christ. Sacraments/Holy Communion is served and all through the year this has been beneficial and spiritually equipping. At the heart of our Zoom weekly meeting is the opportunity to interact with one another which enhances self- motivation and self-esteem. The meetings equipped parishioners in deeper knowledge of the Christian Faith and the core message about Jesus Christ, Our Saviour.
All are welcome at our Sunday and other services including Holy Communion Services. Our Sunday Services also provide the opportunity for worship and celebration of milestones by parishioners in a warm environment. During the reporting year Parishioners celebrated birthdays, and milestone achievements offerings thanks to God for major events in their life and families.
Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Easter/Resurrection Celebration, Christmas Carol and New Year Thanksgiving offers opportunities to give thanks to God for His love and grace over our life. All these events enabled parishioners to develop their Christian Faith a nd enhances personal developments. Parishioners made personal progress in life through personal interactions, and they developed interpersonal skills that enabled them to gain the relevant confidence to make an impact in the wider world.

## **Mission and Evangelism**
Missions and Evangelistic work were carried out throughout the year. During the reporting year, our events provided us the opportunity for evangelistic work.
## **Conferences and Special Events**
The church held special events that addressed current issues that the community faces. These meetings were opened to the public and focused on different demographical groups. We pray and preach the good news of salvation not only in Essex but in many ot her parts of the UK.
## **Music**
Music is at the core of our events. We understand the importance of music to parishioners as it helps build spiritual development and interpersonal relationship. So, we organized Musical events from time to time.
## **b. Investment policy and performance**
The trustees have decided that at present, funds should be retained in Bank. Any change in such banking arrangements should be agreed by the board of trustees. As far as possible, funds will be retained in interest bearing accounts.
## **c. Grant making policies**
As a Parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God), Triumphant Christian Connections has agreed to make an annual contribution to RCCG (UK). The church also provides support to members of the congregation (at the discretion of the trustees) who are in need.
## **d. Volunteers**
The church is grateful for the immense contributions and efforts of its volunteers who are involved in provision and delivery of Services and administration.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **a. Reserves policy**
The Trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets ('the free reserves') held by the church should be 3 months of annual expenditure. At this level, the trustees feel that they would be able to continue the current activities of the church in the event of a significant drop in funding.
## **PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS**
## **a. Future developments**
We are seeking to obtain a lease or outright purchase of a permanent place of worship which will also be used as a Christian Worship and Community Centre. This will enable us to carry out wide range of faith based community activities that we are unable to do currently for the reason of restricted accommodation.
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the situation of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, 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 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 operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping 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 Charities Act 1993 and the Ch arity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. The Trustees 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 irregularities.
