## **Report of the Trustees**
## **for the year ended 31st December 2023**
It has been some years now since the Covid-19 pandemic ended, the impact and changes have been far reaching and enduring. Through it all, the church has continued to evolve and find ways to adapt to the new reality of a post – pandemic era. We are so grateful to God that the church has continued to march forward on all fronts to the glory of God. Here are some of the highlights of the year under review
Our mid-week meetings as well as our Sunday celebration gatherings continue to be conducted as a hybrid service across various social media platforms. The congregation continues to grow to the glory of God and to accommodate the numbers to provide the best service to the members, a second service commenced on the 21st of May 2023. An extra 100 chairs were purchased to provide more seating capacity in the building in the cause of the year, this is a testament to the great work God is doing. To further enhance the work of the church as we serve our community, a second church bus was acquired to help with the transportation needs of the church within the community. In addition to this, a church bus was purchased for our new church plant in Newcastle to enhance their operations in their community within Dunston, Gateshead.
## **Developments, Activities and Achievements in the year from January 2023 - December 2023**
The Love Your Neighbour scheme of the church continues to go from strength to strength, active efforts to generate funds continues, a grant was received to help fund the operations. Through this scheme, families that are at risk of food poverty because they come from homes of limited income are supported in our community. This scheme is the vehicle to fulfil one of our objectives as a charity which is to alleviate poverty. Food parcels and some limited grants were made to support suitable candidates.
During the year, baptism classes were held for candidates who enrolled from the community, we have taken advantage of technology to conduct these classes over zoom. We are grateful for the first batch of candidates that completed the course
The church has continued to develop strategic partnerships with like-minded organisations and churches to pursue her aims and objectives. She continues to serve as a watch tower church interceding in prayers for local, regional as well as national issues facing our country. This financial year has also seen the church continue her support for other local charitable organisations through regular donations and support in every way possible.
## **Church Joint Mission Partnerships - Online**
Saints Alive interdenominational evening of joint worship of churches across Medway Towns on 31st October featured a live service at the iconic Rochester Cathedral, it was great to be able to meet up with other believers in joint worship on a night dedicated to the celebration of Halloween.
Joint interdenominational prayers by churches in Medway Towns for missions across Medway on 23rd November
Christmas Connect joint carol service by churches across Medway on the 10th of December at the KICC Prayer city, Buckmore. Park. The guest speaker was Nicky Gumbel of Holy Trinity Brompton who is a key facilitator of the ‘Alpha Course’ project. and it was great to see believers from across the body join in worship. This was a hybrid service featuring across various social media platforms. As part of our drive to be a blessing to all members of the public under our public benefit agenda, the year saw the church partner with ‘Compassion organisation’ to sponsor children and take them out of poverty.
We have continued our ongoing support for the following charities: Christ the Redeemer (Bible) College (CRC), African Missions, with whom the charity actively encourages groups and members in the church to similarly sponsor children as a way of taking them out of the poverty line in various parts of the world irrespective of creed, gender, colour or religion.
## **Special Programmes the Church Held**
This year, the church turned 19, to celebrate Gods faithfulness, we held a special two – day event featuring a thanksgiving concert on the 13th of May and a Special service on the 14th. It was a time to appreciate God and the congregation for the commitment to work over the past 19 years, to God be the glory.
As part of our drive for community impact, a community BBQ held on the third Sunday in August to provide an atmosphere to bring the community together irrespective of race, religion, orientation in an afternoon of fun, fellowship and feasting together for all ages held following a risk assessment.
During this financial year, the operational base for the regular in -person meetings of the Church when allowed has remained the Dock Road Chatham and we have continued to develop the premises to make it available for the community. To keep the connectivity and interactivity of the services, we moved on to the Zoom platform simultaneously broadcasting to our Facebook page.

## **Public Benefit Statement**
In determining how best to pursue the charity's objects the trustees have had regards to the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and are involved in Christian Outreach Programmes designed to increase Christian awareness and spread the gospel of our Lord Jesus.
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Review of Financial Position**
Please refer to the annexed accounts for the details of the financial statements for the year ended 31st December 2023.
The trustees have established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets (the free reserves) held by the church should be six months of annual expenditure. At this level, the trustees feel that they would be able to continue the current activities of the charitable company in the event of a significant drop in funding. Consequestly, the basis at which the chartity's going concern is reviewwed is considered appropriate and there are no material uncertainties.
## **Liquidity**
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 approximately four months unrestricted expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover management, administration, support costs and emergency expenditure that might arise from time to time. The unrestricted funds are maintained at this level as a result of significant reserves entrusted to the RCCG ‘Victorious Family Parish’.
## **Risk Management**
The trustees actively review the major risks which the charitable company faces on a regular basis and ensure measures and policies are put in place to safeguard charity funds and assets. The trustees also ensure that legal advice is sought when necessary on crucial issues concerning the charity and ministry.
The Church liability insurance is reviewed on a regular basis.
The cash handling procedures set up a few years ago is felt to be adequate in collecting, recording and banking voluntary income.
Cheques are signed by at least two signatories in accordance to the mandate at any one time.
Any potential hazards or issues which come to the attention of the leadership team of the RCCG Victorious Family Parish’ ‘are dealt with immediately.
An up to date Child protection policy to safeguard all children who attend our meetings is in place.

The commission requires charities to determine and explain their policy for reserves.

The charity has enough in its reserve to cover one year's operating expenditure.

The charity also obtain funds through aggressive fund raising for the new project at hand.
Furthermore, the trustees meet quarterly to review the reserve level. If the value of the reserve falls below a level unacceptable to the trustees, the appropriate action will be taken immediately to rectify the situation.

## **For the year ended 31 December 2023**
## Independent examiners's report to the trustees of **REDEEMED CHRISTIAN CHURCH OF GOD VICTORIOUS FAMILY PARISH.**
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2023 which is set out on pages 9 to 16.

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **BASIS OF EXAMINER'S STATEMENT**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 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 I do not express an audit opinion on whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below.
## **EXAMINER'S STATEMENT**
In connection with my examination, I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention:
1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:
- proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section 41 of the Act); and
- accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of Act; or
2. To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
