The activities for achieving its objectives include:
- Community outreach events
- Conferences and events
- Welfare support to members and general public
- Various missionary activities
## **GRANT MAKING POLICY**
The church supports visiting ministers of the gospel both within and outside the United Kingdom. Support is also given to RCCG Central Office, World Evangelism Mission, Festival of Life and other RCCG Programmes. The church supports other charities and missionary that shares its objects in advancement of Christian faith and relief of poverty. The church gives occasional grants to congregational members who are in need.
## **REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES**
The church continues to enjoy tremendous growth in its physical and spiritual activities during the year, in the advancement of Christian faith in accordance with the doctrines set out in the Statement of Faith as contained in its trust deed. The Charity supported was involved in several charitable works for public benefit in its community. For example, the provision of food for the less privileged.
## **INVESTMENT POLICY**
The Trustees have decided that at present, funds should be retained in Banks and Building Societies, and as far as possible in interest bearing accounts.
## **RESERVES POLICY**
The trustees’ policy is to have unrestricted and uncommitted funds (free reserves) to cover 3 to 6 months of resources expended which equals to roughly £3,000 to £5,000 in general funds. They feel that this would enable the current activities to continue if there is a significant drop in funding. It would obviously be necessary to then consider how the funding would be replaced or activities changed. The free reserve is currently lower than the threshold outlined above, but the trustees are continuing to seek additional unrestricted funds to build up its reserve.
## **PRINCIPAL FUNDING**
Funding has been provided mainly through tithes and offerings by church members and through gift aid. Pledges are also taken for specific projects.
## **FUTURE DEVELOPMENT**
The charity continues to explore various ways of spreading the gospel of Christ in an effective manner. The charity is also looking to grow in membership and continue to develop its members to make life-changing impact in society.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT**
We report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 May 2024, which are set out in the preceding pages.
## **Respective Responsibilities**
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The requirement of Section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) does not apply. It is my responsibility, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 43(7)(b) of the Act, to determine whether any matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Report**
Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions of 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 involves consideration of any unusual items in the financial statements and seeking explanations for any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence required in an audit, and I cannot therefore express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements.
## **Independent Examiner's Statement**
In connection with my examination of the accounts, nothing came to my attention to suggest that the financial statements do not accord with the accounting records or that those records do not satisfy the requirements of the Act. I am not aware of any matters that should be drawn to the attention of those reading the financial statements in order to enable a proper understanding of the statements.
