## **Structure, Governance and Management**
The church is a registered charity. It operates within the framework of 4 main Committees:
- The Board of Trustees (BOT)
- The Church Board
- Ladies Committee
- Youth Committee
The church is a member of The Apostolic Faith Mission International Ministries (UK) “AFM IM (UK)”. It has 5 main governing documents:
- The Bible
- The Trust Deed registered on 30 October 2011
- Church constitution & Regulations
- Financial Management, Policies & Procedures handbook
- Church Member Discipline & appeal handbook
The method of appointment of the Board is set out in the constitution of AFM IM (UK). The Church Board is composed of 8 members including the Youth leader. All board members make corporate decisions on the day to day running of the church on behalf of the congregation. All church attendees are encouraged to become full members to be eligible for election.
## **Trustee induction**
Following appointment and a new intake of Trustees, the first meeting includes an induction session led by the sitting Trustees and Office Bearers of the Church Board including explanations of the roles and responsibilities of trustees.
## **Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting.
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to;
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
4
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the
financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
## **Disclosure of information to the Independent Examiner**
So far as each trustee is aware at the time this report is approved, there is no relevant audit information of which the charity's Independent Examiner is unaware. Each trustee has taken all the steps he/she ought to have taken to make him/her aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the charity's Independent Examiner is aware of that information.
## **Objectives and activities:**
- ❖ To Preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all nations
- ❖ To build a Spirit filled, God fearing church
- ❖ To engage with community holistically
## **Achievements and Performance**
This financial year has been characterised by peace, tranquility and fruitfulness in all respects. The following groups or departments are effective at Manchester Assembly.
- ➢ Praise & Worship
- ➢ Sister’s Union

## **Children’s Ministries**
## **Children’s Ministry Leaders**
- Mrs Taderera
- Mrs Kwangwari
Mrs Taderera and Mrs Kwangwari continue to make great effort to ensure progress in the children`s ministry. We are very much grateful for the support from all members of Glory Zone Assembly. The Church Board has a classroom availed to Children’s Ministry in its rental package with Albion Academy. In this state of the art and wellequipped classroom, children do bible related activities with the aid of modern technology. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic our normal in-person activities were disrupted. Nevertheless, we had to resort to doing our Sunday School classes on Zoom. We managed to do games and activities which are internet based.
5
## **Ladies Union**
## **Sisters Union Committee**
- Senior Deaconess Agnes Chipere (Chair)
- Mrs Margaret Chingombe (Vice Chair)
- Mrs Lyvonia Dzvene (Treasurer)
- Mrs Taderera (Secretary)
- Mrs Kwangwari (Committee member)
- Mrs Gusha (Committee member)
The ladies’ department is an integral part of the church and is always championing the role of the women. The department has been the mainstay of support to ladies in and outside the church through activities such as monthly fellowships, all night prayers, home visits, and spiritual support. The Ladies’ department was equally impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic, hence they resorted to do their meetings on Zoom and Facebook. In response to the pandemic, the ladies’ department successfully applied for the National Lottery fund to run a 12 month project to tackle COVID-19 related issues such as loneliness, isolation and boredom within the BAME community. The project, Better Together, has so far held programmes and activities such as online zoom sessions on promoting fitness and wellbeing, mental health awareness and fun games. In addition, the project has also delivered food hampers to families who were isolating due to covid-19.
## **Young People’s Union**
## **Youth Committee**
- Mr M Chimbizi (Youth leader)
- Mr T Gusha (Treasurer)
- Mr S Chipere (Secretary)
The youth have been able to organise their meetings and activities via zoom and Facebook due to the Covid-19 restrictions. With the help of community funding, the youth were able to do activities to reduce isolation and address mental health issues affecting young people. These included internet games and quizzes.
## **Intercession Department**
The intercession Team Mr Mazando Mr Chimbizi Pastor Chipere And other attendees
Due to Covid-19 restrictions, the intercession segment migrated to the Zoom platform. This is the first segment of the church service where all members get together to pray. The main focus of our prayers was the need for God’s protection over the Global community especially poor communities which are impacted more by Covid-19.
6
## **Couples Fellowship**
## **Committee**
- Rev & Mrs Chipere
- Dr and Mrs Kundodyiwa
Couples fellowship group meets regularly for marriage enrichment programs. These include teachings on various marriage topics as well as social activities to encourage couple bonding. The couple’s meetings also migrated to the Zoom platform and by so doing the department attracted participation from couples based in other communities outside Manchester and the UK. Besides teachings and interactive discussions, we also had quizzes and games with some getting prizes.
## **Conferences**
We are a member of AFMIM (UK). Manchester Assembly is actively involved in the Northern Region Network of churches as well as at national level. Conferences organised for and by Ladies and Youth departments were held virtually. The church also participated at the general conference virtually also.
## **Manchester Glory Zone Activity Review for period April 2019 to March 2020**
The year in review was being run with the theme: The Year of Supernatural Restoration: Marred, Mended and Moving on (Isaiah 58:9-12, Habakkuk 3:2, Joel 2:23-29). This theme was casted on the backdrop of the impact of Covid-19 pandemic on people’s health and livelihoods. This was meant to encourage our members and the community surrounding us that God is able to restore what Covid-19 destroyed in our lives.
## **Church Activities**
Church services were conducted virtually throughout the year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Zoom meetings were well-attended by the regular and virtual visitors. It was difficult to fully ascertain actual attendance as some families preferred to be in church service via one gadget.
The main national events for the church are the Annual General Conference, National Ladies’ Conference and the National Youth Conference. All these events took place virtually also.
In addition, other regional activities for which the local church participated virtually were All Night Prayer Meetings, Regional Big Sunday Service and Easter Conference.
## Board/BOT/Regional Workers Council/National Workers Council
Various meetings were run virtually for the Board/BOT/RWC/NWC during the year. While local meetings are mandatory for designated officials to attend, other regional engagements were well attended virtually by local representatives.
## **Public benefit statement**
The trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit. The church preaches and carries on its activities to benefit the public and mankind.

## **Financial Review**
Total receipts were £54,714 (general fund £51,387, designated fund £5 and restricted fund £3,322) compared to £67,341 (general fund £65,397, designated fund £713 and restricted fund £1,231) for the previous year. This is a decrease of 19%. Detailed income lines are shown in notes 2 to 5 of the accounts. The total payments were £23,837, compared to £41,444 in the previous year. The fall in expenditure is mainly due to no rental payments this year (2020 £7,826), no community building contributions (2020 £3,443) and a reduction in employment costs. The year ended with a surplus of £29,218 (2020 £19,291).
## **Reserves Policy**
The trustees have considered the reserves policy in light of the activities and resources available to the church. Whilst working towards building reserves equating to 6 months expenditure, the Trustees have taken a view to maintain operations whist expanding the work. The reserves at 31 March 2021, of £68,490 are in excess of £25,000 representing 6 months expenditure.

**Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees (hereinafter “trustees” of Apostolic Faith Mission International Ministries UK Manchester. Charity Registration Number: 1146335**
This report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2021, which are set out on pages 10 to 14, is in respect of an examination carried out in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (’the Act’).
## **Respective responsibilities of the trustees and examiner**
As trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. You consider that the audit requirements of section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) do not apply and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to issue this report on those accounts in accordance with the terms of the Regulations and to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Act;
- follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act;
- State whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiners 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 members 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 Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act and the Regulations 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.
