## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES**
## **FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31st DECEMBER 2024**
The Trustees have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts for the year to 31[st] December 2024.
## **Objects of the Charity**
The objects of the Church are for the benefit of the public: a) to advance the Christian faith in accordance with the Statement in such ways and in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the Church Council from time to time may think fit;
b) to relieve sickness and financial hardship and to promote and preserve good health by the provision of funds, goods or services of any kind including through the provision of counselling and support in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the Church Council from time to time think fit; and
c) to advance education in such ways and in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the Church Council from time to time may think fit.
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
Capital City Church, an unincorporated charity, is governed by a board of trustees, appointed by a properly convened meeting of the board of trustees. Trustees will meet at least two times per year to make decisions regarding the structure, governance, financial operations, and other relevant business.
The income of Capital City Church is comprised of charitable giving by organisations and individuals, either by monthly standing order or individual, “one off” donations, and grants from interested entities (be they government, business, or otherwise).
## **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.

## **Principle Activities 2024**
Sunday gatherings for worship, open to all. Children’s Sunday school for primary aged children and a youth group for secondary school ages. Prayer meetings, discipleship groups and other church events were run at peoples homes and other venues throughout the year.
The church ran a week-long residential camp for at risk children and children in foster care. The camp was attended by 32 children and 55 volunteers. The focus of the camp is providing unique experiences and a positive affirming environment for children who are looked-after and at-risk.
The church financially supported community development initiative in Uganda, supporting local coffee farmers, as well as a Cardiff based project providing food and materials to rough sleepers.
## **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.
## **Independent Examiner**
Paul Burnell of CMS was appointed as the organisation’s independent examiner during the year.
This Report was approved by the Trustees on 28[th] October 2025 and is signed on their behalf by
Luke Moreno

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF**
## **CAPITAL CITY CHURCH**
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the period ended 31[st] December 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.
