## **RFEPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** 

## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] MARCH 2024** 

The Trustees have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts for the year to 31st March 2024. 

## **Objects of the Charity** 

Objects 

The objects of the Church (“the Objects”) are for the benefit of the public and are to advance the Christian faith in accordance with the Statement of Beliefs in such ways and in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the Trustees from time to time may think fit and to fulfil such other purposes which are exclusively charitable according to the law of England and Wales and are connected with the charitable work of the church. 

## **Structure, Governance and Management** 

Bethesda Chapel, a Charitable Trust, is governed by a board of trustees, appointed by a properly convened meeting of the board of trustees.  Trustees will meet at least four times per year to make decisions regarding the structure, governance, financial operations, and other relevant business. 

The income of Bethesda Chapel is comprised of charitable giving by individuals and organisations, either by monthly standing order, regular donations at weekly worship services,  or individual, “one off” donations, and grants from interested entities. 

## **Responsibilities of the Trustees** 

Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each accounting year which give a true and fair view of the state of the charity and of its income and expenditure for the year. 

We 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, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the accounts 

4. Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business 

We are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable us to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. We also have a responsibility to safeguard the assets of the charity and to take reasonable steps to prevent fraud or any other irregularities.

5) During the week there are times when mothers with their children meet at our mothers and toddlers group called Scallywags 

6) Over the years we have been involved in many community projects and are constantly looking for areas where we can assist the community such as providing a Warm Space venue. 

7) The church has been involved in supporting a smaller church in France which does a work with senior citizens. 

8) During the year the church participated in providing meals to the Homeless in the City centre. 

9) There are activities held specifically for different genders and ages in order to meet specific needs.

## **Public Benefit requirement** 

In planning the activities the Trustees have applied the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit in December 2008. 

## **Financial Review** 

Finances are reviewed at each trustee meeting, with an annual review of accounts to be carried out at the end of year and submitted to the Charities Commission. 

## **Plans for Future Periods** 

We commenced a building refurbishment and technology update programme in 2024, some of which is reflected in the annual accounts for 31st March 2024. 

We plan to continue further maintenance works, dependent on members support and any successful grant applications that may be submitted. 

Our core objects and activities will continue as we seek to reach both our local and online community with the gospel.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT** 

## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF** 

## **BETHESDA CHAPEL DINAS POWYS** 

I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31[st] March 2024, which are set out on pages 4 to 7. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that 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: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

- 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 

- to 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 Commission. 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 statement below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: 

- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and 

- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act 

have not been met; or 

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Finances are reviewed at each trustee meeting, with an annual review of accounts to be carried out at the end of year and submitted to the Charities Commission. 

## **Plans for Future Periods** 

We commenced a building refurbishment and technology update programme in 2024, some of which is reflected in the annual accounts for 31st March 2024. 

We plan to continue further maintenance works, dependent on members support and any successful grant applications that may be submitted. 

Our core objects and activities will continue as we seek to reach both our local and online community with the gospel.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT** 

## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF** 

## **BETHESDA CHAPEL DINAS POWYS** 

I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31[st] March 2024, which are set out on pages 4 to 7. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that 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: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

- 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 

- to 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 Commission. 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 statement below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: 

- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and 

- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act 

have not been met; or 

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
