After the initial setting up of the trust, future trustees must be appointed by resolution of the trustees. ## **Additional governance issues (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant, about: - policies and procedures adopted for the induction and training of trustees; - the charity’s organisational structure and any wider network with which the charity works; - relationship with any related parties; - trustees’ consideration of major risks and the system and procedures to manage them. Once trustees are appointed, background checks are carried out and a series of meetings will be held between the trustees and Management. This is to ensure that trustees understand their terms of reference and can interpret their roles appropriately. Trustees are also advised to regularly undergo continuous professional development courses to ensure efficiency. The trustees are informed about the in-house and external training events. Also, the charity holds at least four main meetings in the year with trustees, management, senior supervisor volunteers and volunteers. At these meetings, strategy sessions are held to discuss how to move the charity forward The Chief Executive Officer (Pastor) is accountable to an area Pastor, a Zonal Pastor, a Provincial Pastor, a Regional Pastor and finally the Governing Council of RCCG UK. Monthly financial reports are sent to area and Zonal Pastors to aid financial transparency and accountability. Regular training meetings are also held for Chief Executive Officers, volunteers and trustees which are co-ordinated at the Zonal level, Provincial level, Regional and finally by the Central Governing body The charity is part of the wider Redeemed Christian Church of God network of churches in the UK and as such is guided by the Agreement for Common Purposes document.

achieve as a charity.
The charity has about 30 volunteers.
The charity values the contribution of its volunteers and reimburses them
for any authorised expenditure. The contribution of volunteers has saved
the charity a lot of money. This is quite significant as the charity relies
solely on contributions from members and partners. Volunteers put in a
minimum of 300 hours monthly resulting in a saving of £3,126 yearly,
assuming each volunteer is paid £10.42 per hour.| ||| **TAR** March **2012** 4 **----- Start of picture text -----**
Section D Achievements and Performance
**----- End of picture text -----**
In January we held a Night of Celebration with various local and **Summary of the main** international gospel artists. **achievements of the charity during the year** In March we held Shouts of Joy, another music event that was enjoyed by all who attended. We also held a conference for women titled ‘Tenacious’ which aimed to boost women’s confidence and empower them. In April, we held ‘Uncommon Marriage’ which is an event aimed at strengthening couple’s communication skills to minimise conflict in the home which can lead to violence and also distress for children. In May, we had an event where children were able to display their talents in singing, dancing and spoken word. We also had a young adults weekend where young people were able to network, share information and build relationships. In June, there was a men’s seminar titled "Real Talk” encouraging men to speak out on issues that affect them. We also had our annual conference with a variety of speakers and music artists. In July, we held a Community Fun Day which was a lot of fun with BBQ, bouncy castle, music, games and crafts. In August, we had a Summer Explorers Club for children during the school holidays where they played games, did crafts and had lunch. In September, we held a Future Leaders Webinar focused on leadership, career, business and finance as well as a women’s seminar on how to turn business ideas into profit. In October we held an event aimed at welcoming those who have recently relocated to the UK from other countries to study at the University. Topics included, how to ensure success in your studies, managing your health through the winter, securing the next steps, parenting and your child’s education, securing a job, interview skills, making the most of opportunities, business start-up grants In December we provided support over the Christmas season by having a get-to-gether with Christmas Carols and Mince pies, a Christmas Day get-to-gether where we served Christmas dinner to over 300 people. We also had New Years’ Eve and New Year Day get-to-gethers with light refreshment. These are days that can be very lonely and upsetting for the groups that we have mentioned who are away from family and away from home. We gave them a homely environment to meet others. This also improved social inclusion and community cohesion as people from different ethnic groups came together under one roof. **Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves** It is the policy of the charity that as far as is possible, unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to 6 months of running costs. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. ## **Details of any funds materially in deficit** ## **N/A** ## **Further financial review details (Optional information)** You **may choose** to include additional information, where relevant about: - the charity’s principal sources of funds (including any fundraising); - how expenditure has supported the key objectives of the charity; - investment policy and objectives including any ethical investment policy adopted. The Charity depends on donations in order to carry out the objectives of the charity. These donations come primarily from those who attend our meetings and also partners who partner with us through our e- newsletter, social media forums or also view our online broadcasts and wish to contribute to our charitable efforts. The donations received enabled the charity to give to those in need as well as provide essential training and support needed for young people, students, adults, children and families. As the charity key objective is the relief of poverty and furtherance of the Christian faith most of the events that took place in the year focused on improving relationships in the family, counselling youths in order to reduce gang crimes and providing for the needs of people in the community. Providing for the needs of the community in this context means opening up the church to the community so even people of other faiths are welcome to come and ask questions in order to understand what the Christian faith is about. Also, many of the community events have been used as a platform to counsel those struggling financially, help where we can and direct them to local agencies who can offer specific help. At these community events we give lunch or dinner packs to members of the community we know are struggling to make ends meet especially the single parents or those who have just lost jobs and are in the process of applying for job seekers allowance or other benefits. This we do because we are aware that every pound count and every little helps. The trustees and management have put into place a policy that all monies donated to the charity must be kept in the bank as soon as possible. This is to ensure that there is an audit trail of all monies. Also every volunteer must produce receipts for all expenditures else they will not be reimbursed. The charity has in place an ethics code which volunteers, senior supervisor volunteers and trustees must adhere to. ## **Other optional information** **TAR** March **2012** 7 **----- Start of picture text -----**
