The short term and longer term aims and objectives.
The governing document gives the trustees the power to invest surplus funds. Given the plans to invest into a church building the trustees have decided to leave surplus funds in bank current accounts. Trustees will liaise with relevant professional bodies for advice on mortgages, auctions, and leasing premises. Fund raising events will be organised in future. HUTLIC formed a team of 15 members to search premises, warehouses and D1 properties to accommodate the growing congregation, including an increasing number of youth and children attending the church. The lockdown and the pandemic unfortunately halted this effort. HUTLIC is now looking for a suitable place, such as a warehouse, as St John’s Church does not have the space needed for all HUTLIC’s activities.
Resources used in the activities undertaken during the year.
The voluntary income for the year from donations and church collections was £169,314 (2021:£170,455). The costs of generating voluntary income and costs of charitable activities were £105,144 (2021:£98,795).
The charity has built up reserves of £385,622.The trustees will review the level of reserves held by the charity in light of this.
The main achievements and performance of the charity during the year.
HUTLIC became a member of Fellowship of Churches of Christ. Pastor Zinaw and Evangelist Misrak attended a leadership course organized by FCC and ordered as Revd Zinaw Tesema Hilemariam Minister of Religion and Evangelist Misrak Thomas as Minister of Religion.

Reverend Zinaw provided marriage training to those preparing to get married and extensive teaching to parents on how to raise Godly children. He trained and supported the congregation to find out their spiritual gifts and released them in various aspects of ministry. He led a series of teachings aimed at the church’s youth to inspire them to support their community, tackle antisocial behaviour and to be a good example to their peers. Many people were healed of various sicknesses, delivered from addictions and evil spirits, and some received The Lord Jesus as their personal Saviour.

Youth and Children Ministry
During 2022 we continued to minster to young adults and children weekly to all age groups. The lesson session was held for all age groups, age 5-7, 8-10, 11-14 and 15+ age groups and young adults. These sessions were supervised by the Children and Youth Ministry assigned teachers at all times. All the sessions we had were a success in creating a safe and stable environment where the children can triumph. The

lessons were prepared to motivate and encourage the Children and they were also given tasks and homework to complete for coming week.
During 2022 we had a training session for Children and Youth teachers in relation to First Aid and we currently have six fully trained First Aid teachers. We also have increased the number of Children Ministry teachers and assistance from 16 to 21. All the teachers remain faithful and committed to the HUTLIC vision and purpose of the ministry. All our teachers also have completed and updated DBS checks as per the ministry requirements and standards. All lessons are designed to inspire and motivate the students to leave a life worthy of their calling and according to the word of God. They are also encouraged to share and show these life standards, in their school and local communities, which we heard great testimonies from parents on how the lessons have impacted the children’s life.
In July 2022 we organized a get-together for the children of all ages and young adults (15 years and above) to congratulate them on their great accomplishment on GCSE and A-levels results. Youth choirs also invited to sing at FCC conference in a number of occasions.
We also introduced end of month Saturday Youth and Young adult church Saturday service in English language, and this has given the youth an opportunity to create a communication and contribute to the community. Also, during 2021-2022 we have baptized over 16 youth.

Statement of the Directors Trustees's 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 February 2016) .
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 :-
-
to prepare the accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate
to presume that the charity will continue in business;
- state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of
recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material
departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
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.

Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees of the charitable company on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2022
I report on the financial statements of the charitable company on pages 14 to 19 for the year ended 31 December 2022 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 February 2016) published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) , effective January 2015 (The SORP), under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out on page 20.
Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the Independent Examiner
As described on page 10, the charitable company's Trustees, who are also the Directors of the Company for the purposes of Company law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and 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 memorandum and articles of the charity for the conducting of an audit, and that the accounts do not require an audit in accordance with Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and that no member or members have requested an audit pursuant to Section 476 of the Companies Act 2006. As a consequence, the Trustees have elected that the financial statements be subject to independent examination.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under any legal provision, or otherwise, and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:-
a) examine the accounts under Section 145 of the Act;
b) follow the procedures in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act and;
c) state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement and scope of work undertaken
I conducted my examination in accordance with the General 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 the financial statements comply with the SORP, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
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 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.
12
Independent Examiner's Statement, Report and Opinion
Subject to the limitations upon the scope of my work as detailed above , in connection with my examination, I can confirm that :-
The accounts of this charitable company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006;
This is a report in respect of an examination carried out under 145 of the Act and in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act which may be applicable;
and that no matter has come to my attention in connection with my examination which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements :-
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 and Section 130 of The Charities Act 2011;
to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and The Charities Act 2011 and;
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles set out in the FRS102 Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities (effective January 2016)
have not been met or to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in my report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached;

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 February 2016) published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW) ,effective January 2016, (The SORP), 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 February 2016) 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.
Policies relating to categories of income and income recognition.
Nature of income
Gross income represents the gross receipts from donations, church collections and gift aid receipts
Categories of Income
Income is categorised as income from exchange transactions (contract income) and income from non-exchange 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.
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.
20
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.
Allocating costs to activities
Direct costs that are specifically related to an activity are allocated to that activity. Shared direct costs and support costs are apportioned between activities.
The basis for apportionment, which is consistently applied, and proportionate to the circumstances, is :-
Staffing - on the basis of time spent in connection with any particular activity. Staffing - on a per capita basis, based on the number of people employed within any particular activity. Premises related costs - on the proportion of floor area occupied by a particular activity.
Non-specific support costs - on the basis of the usage of resources, in terms of time taken, capacity used, request made or other measures
Estimation techniques used in apportioning costs - give details
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.
The Trustees value the significant contribution made to the activities of the charity by unpaid volunteers and this is described more fully in Note4.
Policies relating to assets, liabilities and provisions and other matters.
Fixed Asset Investments
Fixed asset investments in quoted shares, traded bonds, investment properties and similar investments are shown initially at cost upon acquisition and at their market value at the balance sheet date at the end of the financial period. Investment properties are not depreciated.
Fixed asset investments in unlisted equities are shown at the balance sheet date at the best estimate of their market value, where practicable. Where valuation techniques are considered unreliable or where, in the opinion of the trustees, the costs outweigh the benefits to the users of the accounts, the investment is included at cost, and a review is undertaken at each year end as to whether the asset should be written down.
Gains on fixed asset investments, if any, whether realised or unrealised, are included in row B4 of the Statement of Financial Activities.
21
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.
| Freehold premises | 0 | % straight line |
|---|---|---|
| Leasehold premises | 2 | % straight line |
| Plant and machinery | 20 | % straight line |
| Motor vehicles | 25 | % straight line |
Debtors
Debtors are measured at their recoverable amounts at the balance sheet date.
Leasing and hire purchase contracts and commitments
Assets held under finance leases and hire purchase contracts, which are those where substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset have passed to the company, are capitalised in the balance sheet and depreciated over their useful lives. The corresponding lease or hire purchase obligation is treated in the balance sheet as a liability. The interest element of the rental obligations is charged to the profit and loss account over the period of the lease and represents a constant proportion of the balance of capital repayments outstanding. Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to income on a straight line basis over the lease term.
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 The contribution of volunteers
The charity depends on the support of its volunteers, which is much appreciated. The charity depends on its members who volun valuable time stewarding church events. supporting the weekly church services. The arrangements with volunteers are difficult to precisely in monetary terms and have not been recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities. The volunteers and the charity and agree that no contract of employment is created by these arrangements.
