HOLY CROSS CHURCH INTERNATIONAL (HCCI)
DIRECTORS. AND TRUSTEES, REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023.
The Board of Trustees of HOLY CROSS CHURCH INTERNATIONAL {HCCI is pleased to
present its report and the independently examined financial statements for the year ended 31
De￿mber 2023.
OBJECTS, ORGANISATION AND ACTIVITIES
The aim and the objectives for vthich the Ministry is established and empowered to execute are:
To advan￿ the Christian religion in England and V￿rfd￿.de for the benefrt of the public through
the holding of prayers, meetings, lectures. public celebration of religious festivals, producing l and
or distributing literature on Christianity to enlighten others aboLrt Christian religion.
VALUES:
The Holy Cross Church International (HCCI) is a family oriented Church where love is practically
and genuinely demonstrateé to all. We strongly believe that God does have purpose for everyone
and thus we believe that through the preaching of the undiluted Word of God and demonstrating
His love and power of '¢an do, Philippians 4.13. peoples, potential could be unearthed.
DEVELOPMENTS, ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS:
The Church continues to meet both the physical and spirttual needs of its members. The monthly
3 day prayer and fasting continu8s and testimonies abound.
The members are getting deeper in the Word of God especially during the Bible Studies.
Individual lives and families are being touched and changed and members rAn quantify and
qualify the positive impacts of the Word over their lives.
The trustees have made a conscious decision to continue the online servi￿S as the members
find that to be convenient for now.
PUBLIC BENEFITS..
As part of our commitment to impact our communty, VR continue to make sure that our activities
are not confined to the church's four walls and that we should continue to support other caus8S
as the trustees see ftt to positively benefrt our communty.
FUTURE:
We continue to pursue the desire to own our own church building which could be used for various
activities including non-religious activities e.g. after school project, befriending and soup kitchen
for the homeless, youth activities to win them off the streets. We plan to acquire and develop this
building to a state ofthe art communty centre.
APPRECIATION AND COLLABORATIVE EVENTS:
The trustees would like to express its sincere appreciation to all donors especially those in kind
that have helped us to spend a lot less this year on our artivities which we believe will help
towards our savings to acquire our own secured pemanenl place of worship to stabilise the
growth of the Church. The Church continues to work bwth other Ministries in joint programmes
and services to advan￿ Christian religion. Thanks to the members whose donations in kind
helped to fund activities and these organisations who allowed us to use their premises FREE
during the year.

CHALLENGES:
One of the greatest challenges the Church currenuy faces is that of own premises. The trustees
have unanimously agreed that it is better for the Church to be patient and possess its own
premises rather than spend a lot of money on rent that tt could not at the end of the day sustain
and at the same time we do NOT intend to PLrt financial pressure on any members or polential
members only to pay for rent of premises that may at the end of the day be unsuitable lo sejve
the organisation's purpose. Due to the general lockdown all our services have been largely
conducted on line and by Zoom.
RESERVE POLICY
The Charity Commission requires chartties to detemine and explain their policy for free reserves.
The trustees have reviewed tts free rese￿eS policy and have tumed its entire unrestricted fund
into general reserve. The chanty holds sufficient bank balan￿ to fund current and
anticipated expenditures.
RISK
MANAGEMENT
The charity currently owns no property and has no investments other than the
bank balances. The Chafity therefore has no major risks. There are no incidents
to bring to the attention of the Charity Commission.

TO THE TRUSTEES OF HOLY CROSS CHURCH INTERNATIONAL (HCCI
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023.
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 De￿mber 2023. which are
set out on pages 8-10.
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 *ction 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 examinerfs report
My examination vrfas carried out in accordan￿ 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 conceming any such matters. The prO￿dureS
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 accounts'ng records in accordan￿ 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
understa
g of the accounts to be reached.
