REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st DECEMBER 2022
Introduction
On behalf of the Trustees, I am pleased to present our annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31[st] December 2022.
Structure, Governance and Management
Kingdom-Life Assembly, Brighton is a member of the Redeemed Christian Church of God – a worldwide mission with parishes in more than 198 countries of the World. RCCG, Kingdom life Assembly as a charity is governed by two documents namely a Deed of Trust and Agreement of Common Purpose which regulates her conduct with the central body.
The trustees set and monitor the fundamental goals of the Charity but delegates authority to the Pastor and the management team to carry out the day-to-day operations.
Objectives and Activities of the Charity
The main objectives of the charity are:
-
The advancement of the Christian Religion
-
Elimination of poverty by social and economic inclusiveness.
In furtherance of the above objectives, the activities of the Charity are classified under the following themes:
[a] Christian worship where uplifting and inspired music is offered continually to God.
[b] Provide Bible-based teachings and counselling to members and the public.
[c] Teaching the value of prayer and praying for the neighbourhood, City and nations of the world particularly the United Kingdom.
[d] Play active roles in social action that impacts the Community. For example, offering projects and programmes that promotes social inclusion and complimentary educational facility to children and young adults in the community and city at large.
[e] Forster unity and love among people of different races and nationalities such as networking with other Christian organisations to promote societal cohesion and inter-faith unity.
Developments, Activities and Achievements in the Year
T he Trustees are pleased to report that the charity had made
appreciable progress across all departments of the organisation in the year under review.
However, the loss of our worship building at Fishersgate was a major setback to the steady growth we had experienced over the years. The Ministry had to relocate back to the hotel for worship meetings after several years of opportunities at a permanent building which had secured approvals as a place of Worship and a Marriage Registry in
England & Wales. Despite this incidence, the Trustees were able to manage successfully the unfortunate situation which is now yielding positive results.
For instance, additional House Fellowship Centres were established in 2022 such as ‘The Brighton House Fellowship’ and ‘The Southwick House Fellowship’ which serves to bring the gospel of Jesus to the doorsteps of the locals. It also helps to meet prayer and other needs of the respective communities.
Strategic prayers for individuals, the church and the nations particularly UK, was also in the front burner of our activities during the year.
There were several joint programmes organised at Easter & Christmas and other festive periods with members of our local community. We are pleased to report that these programmes have further improved the social cohesion between the church and other groups. It is also a thing of joy to report that increasing University students are benefiting from the work of the charity. Mentorship, spiritual, social, moral, educational and cultural enrichments are provided from time to time. The charity also impacted positively the lives of many people from Brighton, Hove, Postlade, Southwick and Fishersgate through her different conferences and seminars held during the year 2022. Our regular events of Worship, Prayer, Bible study continue to provide spiritual nourishment to people from all walks of life. Similarly, the Annual Single’ Seminar and ‘Men of
Valour Conference drew participants from far and near. Couples’ Programme that offers support to married couples was also held and it recorded a huge success in 2022.
R isk Management
The Trustees are quite satisfied with the management of the finances to fulfil the charity objectives despite the limitations.
Future Developments
The trustees hold the opinion that the management should persevere in search for a more suitable location for worship and operation of the charity.
It is also the resolve of the charity to make better contribution to mission work in the coming year while we continue to pursue our church planting drive with increased zeal.

Respective responsibilities The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The of trustees and examiner charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
-
Basis of independent My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the examiner’s statement 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 the 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 In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention (other than statement that disclosed below *) 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 Charities Act; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act - have not been met; or-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply.
