Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31[st] Mar 2021

It is with great pleasure we present the 2021 annual report and the financial statements for the year ended 31[st] Mar 2021.

The financial statement have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out and comply with the charity trust deed and the recommendations of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities and complies with the applicable law.

Objectives of the Charity, Principal activities and Organisation of our work.

The RCCG Living Faith Assembly church is constituted as a charity in its own right and is therefore governed by the charities Act 1993.

We have laid out RCCG Living Faith Assembly church under five themes:

To teach the sound word of God, leading to result oriented prayers.
To further the advancement of Christian faith and educating members of the community as necessary.
To organize children and youth activities, to promote unity in the course of developing deeper spiritual growth.
To provide hospitality to visiting ministers of Gospel.
To work in cooperation with other Christian organisations (local and international) and support events to achieve Christian aims and objectives.

Development, activities and achievements this year.

The Charity continued to strive to ensure the objectives of the charity are met. This year we continued to meet the objectives of furthering the Christian faith and alleviating the sufferings of the people generally irrespective of their race, background, sex or faith.

This year we have been successful in sharing the Christian faith and helping people develop biblical principles that build up self esteem enabling them to stay out of criminality and social vices and further assisting them to build self esteem enabling them to fulfill their purpose in life and live a happy productive life.

The church is keen at providing stronger family ties and educating the youth. We operate counseling and advisory sessions on a weekly basis to large number of members on matters of family life and education of young members.

We continued to support and encourage young people by providing a Youth Church where teenagers meet on Sunday morning under a caring, supportive and encouraging atmosphere. Our activity also included the organisation of leadership seminars for the benefit of the community where youths and other matured individuals were encouraged to take up leadership roles within the community.

In terms of donations we supported a number of charities and organisations involved in giving relief of flood disaster and other emergency incidents around the world. This year we supported International missions in Ghana and Italy, and also an aid relief Agency to underprivileged people in Africa.

This year trustees consider that the performance of the parish has been satisfactory both in terms of advancement of the Christian faith and in generating needed resources.

Future development.

We hope to increase our involvement with community through social inclusion by further strengthening our counseling sessions, developing biblical principles, organising leadership seminars, economic empowerment, impacting entrepreneurship skills etc

Financial results and future activities .

The statement of the financial activities shows income of £110,216 and expenditure of £96,587.

In the light of the growth in the congregation size, the financial support of the church by donors increased over that of the last year. This has enabled the church to support quite a good number of Christian organisations, charities and visiting ministers as well as meeting other charitable objectives.

The present level of funding is adequate to support the continuation of the church objectives.

Risk Management.

The trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis. The trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks which the charity faces and confirm that the systems have been established to enable regular reports to be produced so that the necessary steps can be taken to lessen these risks.

Volunteers.

Many volunteers give up their time to help at the church, particularly at weekends and in the evenings. We are greatly indebted to these volunteers for their commitment and support.

It is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,

to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given examiner’s statement 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 the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence 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 In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention examiner's statement (other than that disclosed below *)

which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
