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.

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.

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:

Manchester Glory Zone Activity Review for period April 2024 to March 2025

The year in review was being run with the theme: THE YEAR OF SUPERNATURAL PROCLAMATION: PENTECOST WITH A COST. The focus of this theme was to empower believers to fulfil the Great Commission. This is in line with the missional agenda of the church to make disciples

Church Activities

Church services were conducted throughout the year, and these were generally well attended with numbers of new members increasing. The average attendance was approximately 100 people per service. Special events included Prayer Rallies, M60 Prayer Drive, Revivals, Family Day out, Couples meetings, Women and Girls’ Dinner, Board prayers and fellowship, Men’s Fellowship Sundays, Children's Sundays, Ladies’ Sundays, Youth Sundays and having a Christmas party as a church family In addition, other regional activities for which the local church participated were All Night Prayer Meetings, Regional Big Sunday Service, Easter Conference.

Achievements and Performance

This financial year has been characterised by church growth. There has been an influx of new members particularly young families and youth.The following groups or departments have been re-organised at Manchester Assembly.

Children’s Ministries

Leaders

Mrs Modesta Kwangwari Mrs Rusere

Mrs Kwangwari and Mrs Rusere are our teachers. They are DBS cleared per government requirements. They have several new children in their department, whilst some of the older ones have moved to the Youth department. Some of the children are now young adults who are still holding on to the faith. They use one of the classrooms at Albion Academy for lessons. In this state of the art and well-equipped classroom, children do bible related activities with the aid of modern technology and equipment. This has helped them improve their concentration and understanding of teachings from the bible. We also hold outdoor activities and trips with the aim of making our children realise that Christianity is part of life and it is not only confined to the church. Our Children's ministry department is participating in leading Children's Sunday services as allocated.

Ladies Union

Sisters Union Committee

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 via zoom, all night prayers, home visits, and spiritual support. They also purchased groceries and donated to the needy during the festive season. The Ladies’ department continue to assist new members relocating from abroad with kitchen equipment and other used furniture so that they are able to jell into the new community. They also assist with eats at special events and after Sunday service teas.

5

Men's Fellowship

Men's Fellowship Committee

The group continues to grow from strength to strength and members are very active and take part in day to day operations of the church

Some of the activities of the department include conducting the Sunday service, praise and worship intercession and preaching. Prayer is strong part of the men’s fellowship and they regularly hold special prayer for the city while driving around the ring road M60. They actively participate in the week Wednesday Virtual Bible study and they have an active WhatsApp group. Men’s fellowship help with donations for various needs of the church and community.

Young People’s Union

Youth Committee

The youth have been able to organize several outdoor activities and eating out together. The department has come of age with the youth actively participating in church services. They have made the local church visible through various social platforms, especially TikTok. There is general excitement with youth activities such as Youth Saturday’s fellowship and barbecues being popular. These meetings are open and free for anyone to attend. Many of the members are maturing and going to university and we have also witnessed several graduations as the young people mature into adult life. Youth members have now started to actively take part in church activities and joined departments such as praise and worship, ushering, publicity and media team, hospitality and decorations. On-going support is required in intercession and bible study. Furthermore, they have been instrumental in introducing interactive debates on life and spirituality during Youth Sundays.

Intercession Department

The intercession Team is led by Mrs Mazando, Pastore Chipere and other atendees.

Prayer is central to the life of the church and its spirituality. As such, an intercession team was instituted by the Church leadership and their role is to organise prayer sessions. The Team members also lead the Sunday intercession program as directed by the Pastor. Going forward, we strongly believe that through the intercession ministry lives will continue to be transformed as we call upon the Lord to bring total salvation to believers and the world at large.

Couples Fellowship

Committee

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. A special highlight was the addition of new couples through Holy Matrimony.

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. Our church participated in the Dunamis Family Conference held at Llandudno in North Wales.

Board/BOT/Regional Workers Council/National Workers Council

6

Various meetings were recorded 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 by local representatives. All these meetings were duly constituted.

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 £48,434 (general fund £44,153 designated fund £0 and restricted fund £4,281) compared to £40,852 (general fund £36,892, designated fund £0 and restricted fund £3,960) for the previous year. This is an increase of 18%. Detailed income lines are shown in notes 2 to 5 of the accounts. The total payments were £54,134, compared to £56,138 in the previous year. The decrease in expenditure is mainly due to an decrease in charitable expenditure. The year ended with a deficit of £5,700 (deficit in 2024 £15,286).

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 2025, of £51,239 are in excess of £25,000 representing 6 months expenditure
