HOLY CROSS CHURCH INTERNATIONAL (HCCI)
DIRECTORS, AND TRUSTEES. REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024.
The Board of Trustees of HOLY CROSS CHURCH INTERNATIONAL (HCCI is pleased to
present ils report and the independently examined financial statements for the year ended 31
De￿rnber 2024.
OBJECTS, ORGANISATIQN AND ACTIVITIES
The aim and the objectives for which the Ministry is established and empowered to execute are..
To advance the Christian religion in England and worfdwde for the benefit of the public through
the holding of prayers, meetings, lectures, public ￿lebratIon of religious festivals, producing I
and or distributing literature on Christianity to enlighten others about Christian religion.
VALUES:
The Holy Cross Church Intemational (HCCI} is a family oriented Church where love is
practically and genuinely demonstrated 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 'can do, Philippians 4-13, peoples. polential could be
unearthed.
DEVELOPMENTS, ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS:
The Church continues to meel both the physical and spiritual needs of its members. The
monthly one day prayer and fasting continues 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 can quantify and
qualtfy the positive impacts of the Word over their lives.
PUBLIC BENEFITS:
As part of our commitment to impact our community, we continue to make sure that our
activities are not confined to the church's four walls and that we should continue to support
other causes as the trustees see fft to posrtively benefit our community.
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 street5. We plan to acquire and
develop Ihis building to a slate of the art community centre. This building Gould be used for
other activities including Nursery which we believe would benefrt the loGal communty as well.
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 aclivtties which we believe will help
towards our savings to acquire our own secured pemianent place of worship to stabilise the
gr0￿h of the Church. The Church continues to work wth other Ministries in joint programmes
and services to advance Christian religion. Thanks lo the members whose donations in kind
helped to fund activities and these organisats'ons who allowed us to use their premises FREE
during the year.
CHALLENGES:
One of the greatest challenges the Churth cU￿entlY fa￿S 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 renting that it could not at the end of the day

sustain and at the same time we do NOT intend to put financial pressure on any members or
potential members only to pay for rent of prernises that may at the end of the day be unsuitable
to serve the organisation's purpose. Due to the general lockdown all our services have been
largely conducted on line and by Zoom.
RESERVE POLICY
The Chanty Commission requires chartties to detemiine and explain their policy for free
reserves. The trustees have reviewed its free reserves policy and have tumed its entire
unrestricted fund into general reserve. The charity holds sufficient bank balance to fund
current and anticipated activiiie.
RISK
MANAGEMENT
The charity currently owns no risky investments other than its savings in the
bank. The Charity therefore has no major risks. There are no incidents to bring
to the attention of the Charity Commission.

Basis of independent examinerfs report
My examination VRS 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 con￿mIng any such matters. The prO￿dureS
undertaken do not provide all the eviden￿ 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 examinerfs 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 prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the
accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
