Trustees' annual report for the year ended 31 December 2024

The main activities undertaken in relation to those purposes during the year.

Our main objectives for the year continued to be the advancement of the Christian religion and to striving to improve the living conditions of the needy. The strategies we applied to meet these objectives included:

  1. Provision of weekly church services on Wednesday and Sunday to minister to the physical, spiritual and material needs of the congregation.

  2. Provision of special events and meetings to meet the specific needs of target groups in the Church such as men, women, youth and children.

  3. Focusing on the material needs of certain members undergoing difficult financial situations.

  4. Working with other Christian agencies and churches in London to advance the preaching of the Gospel.

The main activities undertaken during the year to further the charity's purpose for the public benefit.

Our main activities and who we try to help are described below. All our charitable activities focus on the advancement of the Christian religion and the relief of poverty and sickness.

a. Ministering every week to the spiritual needs of the people through Bible study, prayer meetings, counselling sessions and healing meetings and

b. Our focus as a ministry and church is the outreach for souls.

The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit in managing the activities of the charity.

The main achievements and performance of the charity during the year.

Our church services are presented with both the regular congregant and the visitor or seeker in mind. We minister to the physical, mental and spiritual needs of the members in our services giving specific consideration to the seekers or new comers in our midst who may not necessarily have a church background and as such may not understand the processes and procedures of christianity.

We have also helped relieve poverty and hardship amongst both regular and irregular congregants who are suffering from a period of financial hardship due to unemployment and lack of financial resources.

Fundraising activities during the year.

The charity relies on grant aid from the donors identified in the accounts, whose support is valued. There have been no other fundraising activities.

Structure, governance and management of the charity

The methods used to recruit and appoint new charity trustees.

The trustees who are also charity trustees for the purposes of charity law are in charge of the strategic direction of the charitable trust. Under the requirements of the Declaration of Trust the trustees are elected to serve for a period of three years after which they must be re-elected at the next annual general meeting.

All trustees give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity. Due to the nature of church work, trustees appointed have been so selected on the basis of their faith, strength of character, skills set in the area of business management and growth and commitment to the vision of the charity.

The policies and procedures for the induction and training of trustees.

Most trustees are already familiar with the practical work of the charity having been friends of the church for a number of years. Additionally, new trustees are invited and encouraged to function in the capacity as friends of the church in order to understand the offerings of the church and its market. Additionally new trustees would be invited as required and encouraged to attend a series of short training sessions to familiarise themselves with the charity and the context within which it operates.

These sessions would be jointly led by the Chair of trustees and the Chief Executive or Senior Pastor of the charity and cover:

o The obligations of trustees

o The main documents which set out the operational framework for the charity including the declaration of trust. o Resourcing and the current financial position as set out in the latest published accounts o Future plans and objectives

A question and answer pack would be prepared which draws information from various Charity Commission publications signposted through the Commission's guide "the Essential Trustee" as a follow up to these sessions. This will be distributed to all new trustees along with the Memorandum and Articles and the latest financial statements.

During the year, income of £72,048 (£79,685 in 2023) was received as voluntary donations. The net movement in funds for the period, as shown in the statement of financial activities, for the period was a deficit of £1,799 (surplus of £10,241 in 2023). The value of the net assets as at 31 December 2024 is £232 (£2,031 in 2023).

The trustees consider the financial performance by the charity during the year to have been satisfactory.

Principal funding sources in the year and how these support the key objectives of the charity.

The principal funding sources for the charity are currently by way of donations and gifts from the congregants through the offering basket passed during church services and through bank standing orders.

We have exercised our right to reclaim the tax on the donations and gifts received from the congregants and this has proved a steady and growing source of additional income.

Statement of the directors/ trustees' responsibilities

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Notwithstanding the explicit requirement in the extant statutory regulations,the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the SORP 2005, in view of the fact that the SORP 2005 has been withdrawn, the Trustees determined to interpret this responsibility as requiring them to follow current best practice and prepare the accounts according to the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), .

In particular, the Companies Act 2006 and charity law require the Board of Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Board is required to :-

The law requires that the trustees must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for the year.

The trustees are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and comply with regulations made under the Charities Act. 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.

The trustees are also responsible for the contents of the trustees' report, and the statutory responsibility of the independent examiner in relation to the trustees' report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that on the face of the report there are no material inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.

THE REDEEMED CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF GOD VINEBRANCH

Report of the independent examiner to the trustees of the charitable company on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of the charitable company on pages 11 to 13 for the year ended 31 December 2024 which have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) as modified by FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW), and under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out on page 14 and 15.

Respective responsibilities of the trustees and the independent examiner and the basis of the report

As described on pages 6 and 7, you, the charity's trustees, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and all other applicable law and with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, applicable to smaller entities, and for being satisfied that the financial statements give a true and fair view.

The trustees consider that the audit requirement of Section 144(1) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply, and that there is no requirement in the governing document for the conducting of an audit. As a consequence, the trustees have elected that the financial statements be subject to independent examination.

Having satisfied myself that the financial statements are not required to be audited under any legal provision, or otherwise, and are eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:-

a) examine the financial statements of the charity under Section 145 of the Act and

b) follow the applicable procedures in the directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

THE REDEEMED CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF GOD VINEBRANCH

Report of the independent examiner to the trustees of the charitable company on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024

Basis of independent examiner's statement and scope of work undertaken

I report in respect of my examination of the charity's financial statements carried out under s145 of the Act. In carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act setting out the duties of an independent examiner in relation to the conducting of an independent examination. An independent examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charitable company and of the accounting systems employed by the charitable company and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from you, as trustees, concerning such matters. The purpose of the examination is to establish as far as possible that there have been no breaches of charity legislation and that, on a test basis of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures made, the financial statements comply with the SORP.

The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and information supplied by the trustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries and does not cover all the matters that an auditor would consider in arriving at an opinion. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide

Consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements, and in particular, I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity, and my report is limited to the matters set out in the statement below.

I planned and performed my examination so as to satisfy myself that the objectives of the independent examination are achieved and before finalising the report I obtained written assurances from the trustees of all material matters.

Report of the independent examiner to the trustees of the charitable company on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024

Independent examiner's statement, report and opinion

Subject to the limitations upon the scope of my work as detailed above, I have completed my examination and can confirm that:

This is a report in respect of an examination carried out under 145 of the Act and in accordance with directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act which may be applicable and that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by Section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 and Section 130 of The Charities Act 2011;

the financial statements do not accord with those records or

the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulation 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view, which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination and

the financial statement have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles set out in the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.

THE REDEEMED CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF GOD VINEBRANCH

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024

1 Accounting policies

Policies relating to the production of the accounts.

Basis of preparation and accounting convention

The accounts have been prepared on the accruals basis, under the historical cost convention, and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) and 'FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , effective January 2016, , and in accordance with all applicable law in the charity's jurisdiction of registration, except that the charity has prepared the financial statements in accordance with the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015, (as amended by the Bulletin issued in October 2018 and applicable to all accounting periods beginning on or after 1st January 2019), (The SORP), in preference to the previous SORP, the SORP 2005, which has been withdrawn, notwithstanding the fact that the extant statutory regulations, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 refer explicitly to the SORP 2005. This has been done to accord with current best practice.

Risks and future assumptions

The charity is a public benefit entity.

Policies relating to categories of income and income recognition.

Nature of income

Gross income represents the value, net of value added tax and discounts, of goods provided to customers and work carried out in respect of services provided to customers.

Categories of Income

Income is categorised as income from exchange transactions (contract income) and income from nonexchange transactions (gifts), investment income and other income.

Income from exchange transactions is received by the charity for goods or services supplied under contract or where entitlement is subject to fulfilling performance related conditions. The income the charity receives is approximately equal in value to the goods or services supplied by the charity to the purchaser.

Income from a non-exchange transaction is where the charity receives value from the donor without providing equal value in exchange, and includes donations of money, goods and services freely given without giving equal value in exchange.

Income recognition

Income, whether from exchange or non exchange transactions, is recognised in the statement of financial activities (SOFA) on a receivable basis, when a transaction or other event results in an increase in the charity’s assets or a reduction in its liabilities and only when the charity has legal entitlement, the income is probable and can be measured reliably.

Dividends are accrued when the shareholder’s right to receive payment is established.

Income subject to terms and conditions which must be met before the charity is entitled to the resources is not recognised until the conditions have been met.

All income is accounted for gross, before deducting any related fees or costs.

14

THE REDEEMED CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF GOD VINEBRANCH

Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024

Policies relating to expenditure on goods and services provided to the charity.

Recognition of liabilities and expenditure

A liability, and the related expenditure, is recognised when a legal or constructive obligation exists as a result of a past event, and when it is more likely than not that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement, and when the amount of the obligation can be measured or reliably estimated.

Liabilities arising from future funding commitments and constructive obligations, including performance related grants, where the timing or the amount of the future expenditure required to settle the obligation are uncertain, give rise to a provision in the accounts, which is reviewed at the accounting year end. The provision is increased to reflect any increases in liabilities, and is decreased by the utilisation of any provision within the period, and reversed if any provision is no longer required. These movements are charged or credited to the respective funds and activities to which the provision relates.

Volunteers

In accordance with the SORP, and in recognition of the difficulties in placing a monetary value on the contribution from volunteers, the contribution of volunteers is not included within the income of the charity. However, the trustees value the significant contribution made to the activities of the charity by unpaid volunteers and this is described more fully in Note6.

Policies relating to assets, liabilities and provisions and other matters.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are measured at their original cost value, or subsequent revaluation, or if donated, as described above. Cost value includes all costs expended in bringing the asset into its intended working condition.

Depreciation has been provided at the following rates in order to write off the assets to their anticipated residual value over their estimated useful lives.

Church equipment 20 % straight line

Debtors

Debtors are measured at their recoverable amounts at the balance sheet date.

Creditors and provisions

Short term creditors are measured at transaction price ( which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method.

Fund Accounting

2 Liability to taxation

The trustees consider that the charity satisfies the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by chapter 3 part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively on the specific charitable objects of the charity and for no other purpose. Value added tax is not recoverable by the charity, and is therefore included in the relevant costs in the Statement of financial activities.

3 Winding up or dissolution of the charity

If upon winding up or dissolution of the charity there remain any assets, after the satisfaction of all debts and liabilities, the assets represented by the accumulated fund shall be transferred to some other charitable body or bodies having similar objects to the charity.

4 Net surplus before tax in the financial year

6 The contribution of volunteers

The arrangements with volunteers are difficult to value precisely in monetary terms and have not been recognised in the statement of financial activities. The volunteers and the charity accept and agree that no contract of employment is created by these arrangements.
