KING OF KINGS CHURCH (REGISTERED NUMBER: 08126711)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 29 DECEMBER 2023

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 29 December 2023. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The charity's principle objective as set out in its Memorandum and Articles of Association is the advancement of the Christian religion in the UK and abroad by the mounting of public worship, prayer, preaching and bible study.

Significant activities

The charity has engaged in the promotion of the Christian faith. It has provided social care, capacity building through small groups and mentoring. It has conducted Christian outreach to the community of Leeds.

Several donations, totalling £7,265 have been made during the year both to UK and overseas recipients.

Going concern

The trustees continually monitor expenses against income to ensure that the charity is financially viable

Public benefit

In planning their objectives and activities for the year the trustees have considered the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit. The church relies on grants and donations to cover its operating costs.

Governing document

The charity is a company limited by guarantee and is governed by its Memorandum and Articles of Association. Each member's liability is limited to £1 per guarantor. The membership comprises all the current trustees.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

We had been open to travel and minister overseas in 2023 like 2022, but due to unforeseen domestic challenges and pressures, we were not able to do so. So we maintained our Church ministry in Leeds, UK

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

During the year the charity had net expenditure of £2,200 which was covered by reserves brought forward. As at 29 December 2023 the charity had reserves of £10,194 of which unrestricted free reserves amounting to £8,189.

Reserves policy

It is the intention of the trustees to achieve a balance of free reserves equivalent to 6 months costs, this will provide sufficient funds to wind the charity up should grant income and donations cease.

At the year end reserves are significantly below this value and the trustees are aware of the need to build up the level of reserves.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The trustees are appointed according to the Articles of Association.

Organisational structure

The charity operations are conducted by the trustees. The daily operation of the charity is carried out by the trustees.

Investment

The trustees have considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds and consider that a bank current account serves the needs of the charity for the time being.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF KING OF KINGS CHURCH

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of King of Kings Church ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 29 December 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
