## Report of the Board of Trustees Year-end 31st December 2023
To the glory of God and gratitude for preservation of life, we are privileged to present another annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31st December 2023.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in this document and comply with the charity trust deed, the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities and comply with the applicable law.
## **Principal Objectives and Performances**
RCCG His Fullness @ West Bromwich church is a parish of the “ **The**
## **Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG)”,** which has worldwide
network of churches.
RCCG His Fullness @ West Bromwich (West Midlands) is constituted as a charity in its own right and is therefore governed by the charities Act 1993.
## **The objectives of Charity are:**
1) To establish the mandate and values of the Kingdom of God as we pursue His will n accordance to the instructions of Jesus in Matt 6:10.
- 2) The advancement of the Christian Faith worldwide.
- 3) The relief of poverty
The main objectives and performances for the year continued to focus on relief of poverty and the advancement of the Christian faith as we strive to make a positive impact in our community. These were accomplished through several means including:
- Worship services every Sunday and other weekly activities involving different families of the Parish.
Offerings/donations were collected during these programs for the running & maintenance of the parish, and to help the charity develop and improve on its current accommodation to further enhance our objective of relief of poverty and community cohesion and enhancement.
- Other special programs such as seminars and workshops, as well as outreach activities - inviting the local residents and neighbours within our Parish area to meetings aimed to spread the good news and advance the Christian faith. We will enhance the ‘church in the street’ initiative to enable members of the public have a better understanding of what we are about. This is done bi-monthly outside the church premises as well as reaching out to the general public in West Bromwich town centre.
## **Development, activities and achievements this year.**
The Charity continued to strive to ensure the objectives of the charity are met. This year we continued to meet the objectives of furthering the Christian faith and alleviating the sufferings of the people generally irrespective of their race, background, sex or faith.
The year had witnessed increasing success in sharing the Christian faith and helping people develop biblical principles that build up self-esteem enabling them to stay out of criminality and social vices.
The church is keen to strengthen family ties and educate the youth. We operate counselling and advisory sessions on a regular basis (within and outside the church) to members (and non-members) on matters of family life, education of young members, and general civic responsibilities.
We continued to support and encourage young people by providing a ‘Children / Teenagers’ church where children and teenagers meet on Sunday mornings under a caring, supportive and encouraging atmosphere. The Teens also have a dedicated ‘ReNewed’ group that meets every other month to be equipped through mentoring, social skills and biblical teaching. It affords peer interaction, strengthening their self-esteem and building friendship. Our teachers operate under the RCCG - wide Child Protection Policy (which we have adapted locally) and we endeavour to regularly update their DBS status.
Our activities also included the organising mentoring and leadership seminars for the benefit of the community where youths and other matured individuals were encouraged to take up leadership roles.
‘ReKindle’, one of our flagship programs is growing. It is an ongoing bimonthly event set up as a forum for married couples to discuss and learn from one another issues that could strengthen parenting and prevent breakdown in marriage and relationships. It is open to all.
We currently support several other charities and organizations involved in giving relief to natural disaster and other emergency incidents around the world. We support deprived children and young adults through Compassion.
NAOMI Initiative was set up this year to provide monthly donations to widows following the consequence of the pandemic. We also actively and strongly support the World Evangelical mission which is furthering the Christian faith all over the world.
This year, trustees consider that the performance of the parish has been satisfactory in terms of advancement of the Christian faith.
## **Future development.**
The charity plans to continue the activities mentioned above in the forthcoming years subject to satisfactory funding arrangements. Plans are also being developed to work on a number of schemes:
# We have continued to improve the facilities within our premises to enhance the fulfilment of our objectives to be a positive influence and help to the community of West Bromwich and the surrounding towns.
# We are working with a local community club to set up an over 50’s activity group to enhance social inclusion and a hub for the elderly.
# Our plan to set up a music studio is still ongoing. We have the volunteers willing to offer their skills and talents, but still lacking in fund. The aim is to build up on our current efforts of teaching youngsters to play the drum and keyboard. Some parents and youngsters have registered their interests.
# The parish would continue to be a church for all peoples from all nations, and deliberate efforts will continue to ensure that the church remains welcoming to people from all parts of the world.
# We will continue to reach out to our local community and
neighbourhood to promote events aimed at spreading the good news and advancing the Christian faith, as well as improve the quality of life within our borough.
# Helping the homeless: by donating money, clothing and necessary materials for their upkeep especially through existing charities like Salvation Army.
Our goal is to further strengthen our counselling sessions, develop biblical principles, organize leadership seminars, economic empowerment, impacting entrepreneurship and financial management skills etc.
## **Financial results and future activities** .
The statement of the financial activities shows income of £209,968 and expenditure of £212,951.
The financial contribution from members has enabled the church to support quite a good number of organizations, charities, widows and visiting ministers as well as meeting other charitable objectives.
Whilst we are grateful to God for the donations coming in to support the continuation of the church objectives, the case for more funding is obvious because the needs are ever increasing. We would like to register our gratitude to the HMRC for gift aid support.
## **Volunteers.**
Many volunteers give up their time to help at the church, particularly during weekends and in the evenings. We are greatly indebted to these volunteers for their commitment and support and pray the blessings of God upon them and their families.
## **Public Benefit**
The charity acknowledges its requirement to demonstrate clearly that it must have charitable purposes or ‘aims’ that are for public benefit. Details of how the charity has achieved this are provided in this report. The trustees confirm that they have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit before deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
## **Risk Management.**
The trustees actively review the major risks which the charity faces on a regular basis. The trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks which the charity faces and confirm that the systems have been established to enable regular reports to be produced so that the necessary steps can be taken to lessen these risks including DBS checks on all volunteers working with children.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE REDEEMED CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF GOD - His Fullness**
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023 set out on pages 5 to 9.
## **RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES AND THE EXAMINER**
## an
audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
(i) examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
(ii) to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
(iii) to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT**
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 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 no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair"
view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below.
## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(a) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
(i) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
(ii) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act;
have not been met.
(b) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
