Trustees' report for the year ended 31 March 2024
The trustees present their report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2024 . The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on page 7 and comply with the charity's trust deed and applicable law.
Mission statement
EMPOWERING people from every walk of life become the BEST in all that God has called to be Walking in faith and ADVANCING into their God-given destiny
Trustees
The trustees named on page 1 have served throughout the year. Appointment of trustees is governed by the Trust Deed of the charity. The Board of trustees is authorised to appoint new trustees to fill vacancies arising through resignation or death of an existing trustee.
Investments powers
The Trust Deed authorises the trustees to make and hold investments using the general funds of the charity, but no such investments are presently held.
Constitution, objects and policies
The principal activity of the organization was that of providing advancement of Christian faith,including the relief of people in conditions of hardship or distress to benefitthe community at large,specifically through:.The advancement of Chritsian faith
.The relief of persons who are in condition of hardship,distress or who are aged
.The relief of poverty
. Supporting other charity that respondto disasteres all over the world
The objects and policies of the charitable trust ensure the charity carries out activities that are in line with its purposes. The charity continues to seek additional donations to carry on running the organistion. The Trustees are responsible for the day to day running of the charity.
Development, activities and achievements
The trustees consider that the performance of the charity this year has been satisfactory and boosted by by the continued support of members during the year.
The charity continues to extend the love of God through serving and the number of those served continue to increase. Some of the activities and sevices provided during the year are as follows:
. Safe places of worship and teachings for Christians and the community through various programmes such as workshops, evangelism, music and media
. Youth focussed services and events for youths and youth adults, to support their spiritual and phsical wellbeing, developing new skills and awareness in readiness for living independently and responsible as adults within the society.
Financial review
Funds available are sufficient to permit the Trust to continue in operation in the medium term, given the continued support of the members. If this support is not continued in the longer term, further financial support would need to be sought to ensure the trust can continue to vary out its activities
Risk Management
The trustees actively review the major risk which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining reserves at current levels, combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems, will ensure the charity has sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The trustees have also examined other operational and business risks faced by the charity and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.
Future Developments
The charity successfully carried out all planned activities has increased during the year under review and the trustees are seeking to extend the charity's activities within the community and are pursuing a number of activities towards the next report year. We will continue to promote the spiritual and physical aspects of our purposes more effectively by appointing new ministers and pastors to support the work of the charity.
Reserve policy
It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds at a level which provides sufficient funds to cover management and administration and support costs. Unrestricted funds are maintained at least at this level throughout the year.
Statement of trustees' responsibilities
Law applicable to charities in England Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
a) Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
b) Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
c) state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
d) prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which 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 2011. They 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.

presented with those records .It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the
accounts and , seeking explanation from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
