## **Trustees Report**
## **For the year ended 31 March 2025**
On behalf of the Trustees, I am pleased to present the financial report of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025.
## **Financial Performance**
The charity recorded a strong financial performance during the year. Total income for the year amounted to £68,175, representing a significant increase from £43,369 in the year ended 31 March 2024. This improvement reflects enhanced fundraising activities and continued support from donors and stakeholders.
Total expenditure for the year was £37,623, compared with £31,299 in the previous year. The increase in expenditure is attributable to higher operational and programme-related costs incurred in furtherance of the charity’s objectives.
## **Funds and Reserves**
On 31 March 2025, the charity’s net balance carried forward stood at £35,282, an increase from £29,519 on 31 March 2024. This reflects the positive financial position maintained throughout the year.
The Building Fund account balance at the year-end was £24,790, which remains designated for future development and capital-related projects in line with the charity’s long-term plans.
## **Assets and Financial Position**
The charity’s current assets as at 31 March 2025 totalled £60,127. Cash at bank amounted to £20,759, compared with £21,578 at 31 March 2024.
The charity’s net assets increased to £36,281 at 31 March 2025, up from £29,519 at the end of the previous financial year, demonstrating continued financial stability and prudent financial management.
## **Trustee Review**
The Trustees are satisfied with the charity’s financial position and believe that the level of reserves held is appropriate to support ongoing activities and future commitments. The Trustees will continue to monitor income, expenditure, and reserves closely to ensure the charity remains financially sustainable while delivering its charitable objectives.
The Trustees would like to express their sincere thanks to all donors, volunteers, and supporters for their continued commitment and generosity throughout the year.
As the Trustees looked toward the year under review, they did so with a sense of hope and expectation. The vision during the year was to strengthen the charity’s ministries, expand outreach activities, and continue fostering a spirit of unity and service. The Trustees trusted in God’s guidance as they worked together and remained committed to making a positive impact on the lives of members and the wider community.
The theme for the year was “The Year of Open Doors”, inspired by Revelation 3:7 and Isaiah 60:11. Throughout the year, the charity operated while walking under the unction of the Holy Spirit, with a focus on redeeming lost years and embracing new opportunities for growth, restoration, and service.

## **Independent Examiner's Report**
The Management and Board of Trustees of Apostolic Faith Mission IM (UK) Stoke on Trent Assembly, who are registered as a charity Registration 1140817, appointed me to independently examine their trustees' report, financial reports and the accompanying notes.
## **Responsibilities of Management and Board of Trustees**
- To safeguard the Charity's assets and in particular to ensure that the Financial Reports are free from material misstatements due to fraud.
- To keep adequate financial records and to ensure that the published reports are based on these records.
- To ensure that the published reports are true and fair.
- Consider their charity to qualify for an independent examination in terms of Part 8 and sections 145 and152 of the Charities Act of 2011.
## **My Responsibility**
To carry out procedures such as analytical reviews, comparing the published reports to the financial records kept by the charity and enquiring from those tasked with the governance of the charity any matters that need clarity.
I also considered the disclosures of material facts in the financial reports and the going concern of the charity.
The nature and extent of my examination did not provide appropriate and adequate audit evidence and therefore no audit opinion is provided in this report.
## **Independent Examiner's statement**
ln the course of my examination, no matters came to my attention which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act
- the preparation of accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the act have not been met.
- to which in my opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
