6) To help individuals to discover and bring into actualisation their destinies and maximise their potentials

RECRUITMENT AND APPOINTMENT OF TRUSTEES :

Trustees are appointed on the basis of the contributions and skills they contribute to the governance of the organisation. Among other criteria, appointment is also made by spiritual guidelines and biblical qualities that mirror Christ-like attributes.

VOLUNTEERS :

The church is grateful to its band of volunteers for their efforts towards meeting the Charity’s objectives. It is estimated that over 3,500 hours were volunteered during the year. If conservatively valued at £8.72 per hour, this will amount to over £30,520.

PRINCIPAL FUNDING :

The Charity's principal funding is through its members’ contributions, tithes, and offerings; and donation and gifts from donors, supporters, partners and friends of the church.

REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES .

The Charity continues to meet its Charitable objectives and enjoyed tremendous growth in its physical and spiritual life during the year, and in the advancement of the Christian faith in accordance with the doctrine set out in the Statement of Faith, as contained in our Trust Deed and RCCG Agreement of Common Purpose.

INVESTMENT POLICY .

The Trustees have decided that, at present, funds should be retained in bank for the running of the Charity.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those relating to specific operational areas and its finances. The trustees believe that by monitoring reserve levels, ensuring controls exist over key financial processes, and by examining the operational and business risks faced by the charity, have established effective systems to mitigate these risks.

PUBLIC BENEFITS, CHARITABLE AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROJECT:

The Charity’s objectives were achieved in this financial year through the provision of charitable support in accordance with its objectives. The process of development, planning and implementation have continued in the last year, during which the church has been successful in meeting her objectives of furthering the Christian faith and alleviating the suffering of people generally, irrespective of their race, background, gender or faith.

The efforts of the Charity were geared towards supporting the programmes of our local council; promoting cohesion in our community; and positively impacting the lives of the young people and the elderly. The church organised a major conference in the month of September. The three-day event was attended by people from diverse races, religion, and gender within and outside the community. The conference focused strongly on how to be empowered and to face the challenges of life in the midst of economic challenges. Our women volunteers regularly at elderly care home

The Charity organises “Continuous Development Programmes” (CDP) for his volunteers and members. Amongst which are: Workers Retreat which took place in the month of February, a 3-day Ordained Ministers Conference which took place in Telford in the month of April, and ongoing Family Mentoring Programme for young couples.

The charity is very keen to develop strong family life within the community and nation in general. To this end, it organised and conducted a Women's conference in the month of June. This conference was attended by women from different backgrounds. The three-day conference addressed issues of parenting, childbearing, childcare and child education, as well as career development among women.

At present, the charity has two qualified and licensed Parenting Facilitators. These resource persons have been providing parenting counselling services to members of the church and the community. It also sourced various training programmes to equip more church volunteers with the relevant counselling skills that will help them serve the community better.

The Church supports missionary and charitable organisations, such as, the Festival of Life, World Evangelism Mission, Habitation of Hope, African Mission, and other missions and projects. The church also provides support to members of the congregation who are in need at the discretion of the Trustees. Furthermore, the charity invested in its members who have shown commitments and assisted in different capacities over the year to further the aims of the Charity.

We give glory to God that the charity has been able to purchase a building in the heart of Gloucester City centre. The building (Former United Reform Church) is now the operating centre of the charity.

PLAN FOR THE FUTURE:

The trustees have set out some of the main visions and objectives of the Charity. For these objectives to be fully achieved, it plans to radically step up its charitable activities. The charity will work tirelessly to renovate the basement hall of the church which is planned to be used as community hall to serve the people of Gloucestershire and to establish children facility as well.

Also, in the coming year, the Charity will continue to provide charitable supports in accordance with its objectives, concentrating on developing plans to contribute more to the alleviation of poverty and empowerment programmes and projects.
