## **Achievements and performance**
## **a. REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES**
We still hold midweek prayer services and counselling sessions. Our social media outreach has grown significantly, reaching thousands of people across the UK and Europe. Feedback received through letters, emails, and phone calls testifies to the impact these programmes are having on people’s daily lives.
Our youth service, held every Sunday from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., has grown tremendously. We have a dedicated team of youth workers supporting young people with CV writing, career guidance, and pathways into employment. We also have a media team that provides opportunities for young people interested in social media, film, and photography. The photos and videos they produce are shared across our platforms. In addition, we run a weekly Zoom Bible study for our youth every Friday. Our French church service also continues to thrive.
We were awarded National Lottery funding to run our _New Beginnings_ programme, supporting migrant, refugee, and asylum-seeking women in our community who speak Portuguese, French, and Lingala. Through weekly one-to-one and group sessions, we help women and their families integrate into UK life by providing access to services and building community connections. The programme includes culturally sensitive activities, peer support, and workshops on skills such as job searching, volunteering, registering with a GP, and enrolling in courses. We also provide guidance on housing, financial literacy, and avoiding high-interest loans. These sessions create welcoming spaces that promote inclusion, diversity, and mutual support, helping women feel a genuine sense of belonging.
We continue to support Zion Church Angola and Zion Church Congo through members’ donations. During the conflict in eastern Congo, our community organised a fundraiser to provide food and clothing for affected families, and we sent a representative to deliver this support directly.
We also run weekly instrumental and singing classes, led by professional musicians. These sessions have drawn strong interest, and now two church bands regularly perform during Sunday services.
## **b. INVESTMENT POLICY AND PERFORMANCE**
The Trustees have decided that at present, funds should be retained in Banks and Building Societies. Any change in such banking arrangements should be agreed by the board. As far as possible, funds will be retained in interest bearing accounts.
## **Review of Transactions and Financial Position**
During the period, income of £216,250 (2024: £226,042) was received as voluntary donations, grant and gift aid repayment.
The net movement in funds for the period, as shown in the statement of financial activities, for the unrestricted funds was deficit of £3,158 (2024: deficit of £14,052).

## **Trustees’ Responsibilities in Relation to the Financial Statements**
Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which gives a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of surplus or deficit for the period. In preparing the financial statements the trustees have:
-Selected suitable accounting policies and applied them consistently. -Made judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. -Stated whether applicable accounting standards have been followed -Prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis
The Trustees have overall responsibility of ensuring that the church has an appropriate system of controls; financial or otherwise. They are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the church and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and (Charities, Accounts and Report) the 2011 regulation requirements. They are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence take reasonable steps for the detection and prevention of fraud and other irregularities.
