The law applicable to charities in England and 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 judgments 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.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT AND GENERAL INFORMATION for the year ended 31st March 2024 (continued)

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safekeeping the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Activities

In planning the activities for the year the trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and in particular the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.

The Trustees have continued to pursue the objectives outlined above. In particular the charity has supported Christian ministries as they have worked with local churches or short term Bible Schools.

During the next twelve months the Trustees intend to continue their programme of supporting short term ministry schools. Additionally the charity seeks to work alongside churches by providing speakers and other resources.

7. Risk Management and Reserves

The trustees have considered the major risks to which the charity is exposed and have taken appropriate steps to mitigate those risks. Although the Trustees seek to distribute the funds as expediently as possible adequate reserves are maintained to cover unforeseen expenditure.
