## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (The New United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient and proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with applicable Law. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The trustees have complied with the duty in section 17(5) of the 2011 Charities Act to have due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 Registered Charity Number 1152376**
## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
The book values of the assets held at the year end are, in the opinion of the Board of Trustees, as stated in the financial statements. Also, in its opinion, adequate assets are available to fulfil the obligations of the charity.
A summary of the result of the NCC Bermondsey's activities during the period is given in the Statement of Financial Activities.
Total income of the charity amounted to £447,395 (2023: £460,438) including income from regular sunday tithes and offering of £370,077 (2023: £354,772). The total funds as at 31 December 2024 was £465,289 (2023: £411,225) all of which related to unrestricted funds.
## RESERVE POLICY
The New Covenant Church Bermondsey maintains unrestricted funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at a level that is at least twelve months of committed expenditure, excluding financing and other costs. Excess unrestricted funds, to the extent represented by liquid assets, will be used to meet recurrent operational costs, except where the Trustees consider that the funds should be retained for possible future projects.
## INVESTMENT POLICY
The Trustees have the power to invest in such assets as they deem fit. The charity's investment policy is appropriate to the nature of the funds for which the investment is held. The primary investment aim is to provide a high degree of security and liquidity and to maximise returns whilst adopting a conservative approach.
## GRANT-MAKING POLICY
The Charity does not provide grants and therefore do not have a policy on grant-making. The Trustees however, give gifts and donations as an effective means of delivering support and assistance to other programmes that fit within the objectives of the Charity. During the year under consideration, total gifts and donations amounted to £30,946 (2023: £25,167).
## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER**
A proposal that Jash Burton B'Chaucer be re-appointment as Independent Examiners of the charity will be put to the Board of Trustees at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
By Order of the Board of Trustees

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out therein.
The report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Section 44 of the Charities Act 1993. The Trustees of the charity are of a general opinion that audit is not required in accordance with Section 43(2) of the 1993 Act or Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011, and have opted for an independent examination instead.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiners**
The Trustees, who are also the directors, have responsibilities for preparing the Trustee's Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards. These are set out in the Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities in the Report of the Trustees.
Our responsibility as independent examiners of the charity are:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 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 our attention.
We report to you whether the financial statements have properly been prepared in accordance with the Financial Reproting Standard (FRS) 102 (effective 1 January 2015) and in accordance with the Charities Act 2011. `
We also report to you whether the information given in the Trustees' Report is consistent with the financial statements. We consider the implications of our report if we become aware of any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the financial statements

**NEW COVENANT CHURCH - BERMONDSEY**
## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS' REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024**
## **Basis of opinion**
Our examination was carried out in accordance with the Genaral Directions provided by the Charity Commission. The examination includes a review of the books and documents other accounting records kept by the charity and comparing these with the accounts presented. Our examination also includes consideration of any unusual disclosures or items in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the Trustees. It is imperitive to state here that 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. Our report is therefore limited to the statements below:
## **Independednt examiners' statement**
In connection with our examination, we report that no matter has come to our attention, which which gives cause to believe that the following have not been met:
- Keeping proper accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
- Preparing accounts which accord with the underlying accounting records and which are in compliance with the Charities Act: and
- Consistency of the information contained in the Trustees Report with the financial statements.

General funds are unrestricted funds available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.

## **Tangible fixed assets**

Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.
## **Incoming resources**
Voluntary income, comprising donations in the form of regular offerings and tithes, provides core funding. This is recognised where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
The value of services provided by volunteers is not incorporated into these financial statements. Further details of the contributions made by volunteers can be found in the Trustees' Report.
