Ensuring Our Work Delivers Our Aims
We review our aims, objectives and activities each year. This review looks at what we achieved and the outcomes of our work in the previous 12 months. The review looks at the success of each key activity and the benefits they have brought to those groups of people we are set up to help. The review also helps us ensure our aim , objectives and activities remained focused on our stated purposes. We have referred to the guidiance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing our aim and objectives and in planning our future activities. In particular, the trustees consider how planned activities will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set.
The Focus of Our Work
Our main objectives for the year continued to be the advancement of the Christian religion and the relieve of poverty and sickness. The policy of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) - His Majesty Sanctuary Parish Oldham is to pursue objectives in the following ways:
-
Provision of Weekly Church Services on Wednesdays and Sunday to minister to the physical, spiritual and material needs of the congregants.
-
Provision of Services to individuals, families and community at large. The service includes a wide range of spiritual and social care.

Development and Achievements in the Period
The charity's events were properly managed, executed and reviewed for its impact on members. Our charity continues to grow in Sunday morning attendance, youth and children's ministry. We minister to the physical, mental and spiritual needs of our members and new comers in our midst. We have helped relief poverty and hardship amongst both and irregular congregants who are suffering from financial hardship due to unemployment and lack of financial resources.
Financial Review
Our charity was able to raise a total income of £29,212 during the year under review.
Principal Funding Sources
The principal funding sources for the charity are currently by way of Donations and Gifts from congregants through the offering basket passed during Church services and through bank standing orders etc.
Investment Policy
The Charity retains a significant amount in the savings account. The objective of the investment policy is to invest in cash at banks where the capital is protected. The charity currently has a policy of keeping any surplus liquid funds in cash at banks where immediate access and security of funds is guaranteed
Reserves Policy
It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds which are the free reserves of the charity at a level which equates to at least 3 months of unrestricted expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover management and administration and support costs and to respond to emergencies which may arise from time to time.
The expenditure for 2020 was £16,076 and therefore the targeted reserves should be between £4019 and £8038 in general funds. The reserves are needed to meet the working capital requirements of the charity and the trustees are confident that at this level they would be able to continue the current activities of the Charity in the event of a significant drop in funding. The charity was able to meet the targeted reserves during the year under review.
Plans for Future Periods
In the near future, the charity plans to expand its operations and will continue our drive towards providing more benefits to our community The Charity plans continuing the activities outlined above in forthcoming years subject to satisfactory funding arrangements.
As at the time of this report, the charity has acquired its own place of worship and necessary arrangements are being made to engage the local community through the introduction of charitable programmes which will be directed towards provision of services which will engage them through preaching of the gospel.

Trustees ' Responsibilities

So far as we are aware, there is no relevant information of which the company's accountants are unaware; and as the trustees of the charity we have taken all steps that we ought to have taken in order to make ourselves aware of any relevant information and to establish that the Charity's accountants are aware of that information'.

As described on pages 2 to 5, the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts, and they consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144(1) of the Charities Act 2011 (The 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibilty to:
examine the accounts (under section 145(1) of the Charity Act 2011;
follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 132 of the Charity Act 2011; and
state whether particular matters have come to my attention
Basis of Independent examiners statement
Our examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 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 examiners statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- (1) which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act 2011; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities, 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.
