# **CHRISTIAN FAMILY MINISTRIES TIDWORTH TRUSTEES’ REPORT YEAR ENDED 31[st] January 2025**
The trustees are pleased to present their report for the year ended 31[st] January 2025 for the charity, Christian Family Ministries Tidworth with Charity Number 1141372.
The Trustees of the charity are: Rev Douglas Asante Pastor Nana Kwadwo Asante Rev Mike Tembo
The principal address of the charity is: 17 Vimy Crescent Bulford Salisbury SP4 9FS
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
The Charity governing document is a trust deed that was dated on 8[th] March 2011.The Charity is governed by a board on which the trustees are represented. It meets regularly to review, plan activities and monitor the financial position.
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
The Objects of the organisation are to advance the Christian Religion [in accordance with the Statement of faith] throughout the world as the trustees may see fit from time to time. The trustees confirm that they have had due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit before deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
## **ACHIEVMENTS AND PERFORMANCE**
The Organisation continues to hold successful Christian worship services in the community to raise the awareness of the Christian faith. These meetings have been well attended. The organisation hosted its meetings in the hire hall that they use for their worship services.
**2**
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
The income of the charity is above £36,000. This has been an increase on the previous year’s income. This has allowed to church to continue to maintain good reserves in its bank account. The costs have been managed over this period. The main expenditure of the organisation was the operational costs and the cost of covering the hire of the hall used as a place of worship.
## **PLANS FOR THE FUTURE**
The church intends to continue to host regular yearly conferences in UK. They will continue to support their outreach activities. The intended re-appointment of our present independent examiner at the upcoming trustee meeting is expected to support the financial operations by making it more effective.
## **RESERVE POLICY**
It is the policy of the Charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the reserves of the charity at about 3 months of unrestricted expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover any emergency expenditures that may arise from time to time. The charity will seek to maintain this level throughout the year.
## **RISK MANAGEMENT**
The charity have assessed all the major risks to which the charity is exposed to, in particular those related to operations and finances of the charity, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to major risks.
## **TRUSTEE RESPONSIBILITIES**
Under the Charities Act 1993, the trustees are required to prepare a statement of accounts for each accounting year which gives a true and fair view of the state of the church. They are required to:
1. Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.
2. Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
3. State whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed.

Independent Examiner’s Report To the Trustees
## **CHRISTIAN FAMILY MINISTRIES TIDWORTH**
I report on the accounts of the church for the year ended 31[ST] January 2025 set out on the following pages which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies shown in the corresponding pages.
The trustees of the church are responsible for the preparation of accounts: they consider that the audit requirement under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act),does not apply. It is my responsibility to :
- Examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act.
- Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners made under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
- State whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of Independent examiner’s report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the church 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 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.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention;
- (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material aspect, the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:
- proper accounting records are kept( in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act
- accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act: or
- (2) to which , in my opinion , attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
