Trustees’ Annual Report for the period

From 1 / 1 / 22 Period start date To 31 / 12 / 22 Period end date Charity name: Westcliffe Road Christian Church Charity registration number: 1155190

Objectives and Activities

h)
We believe in the personality of Satan, his
opposition to God and His purposes and
his corruption and enslavement of man.
i)
We believe in salvation solely by the grace
of God, accomplished by God the Son and
applied by God the Holy Spirit;
appropriated by God-given faith in the
Lord Jesus Christ; including regeneration,
justification, sanctification and final
glorification.
j)
We believe in the bodily resurrection of
the just and the unjust, the one to eternal
life and the other to eternal punishment.
k)
We believe in the one holy, universal
Church that is the Body of Christ to which
all true believers belong.
Summary of the main
activities in relation to those
purposes for the public

In addition, we have held a number of ‘1 off’
events throughout theyear in support of the work
undertaken including a Jubilee Street Party,
Neighbourhood BBQ and Male Voice Choir.
These events are all advertised by ‘word of
mouth’ as well as leaflet drops to around 500
houses in the immediate vicinity of the church.
All events include a presentation of the Gospel in
reaching out to those around us and/or a time of
‘ministry’ where we learn more about the
Christian faith and putting this into practice within
our lives.
We have also delivered Christian literature to the
neighbourhood around the church, linking in with
key events such as Easter and Christmas. These
leaflets have contact details of the church, should
anyone wish to get in touch with us.
We also support financially a number of Christian
organisations who have had connection with the
church in the past, and are now furthering the
Christian message both within the UK and abroad.
These are funded either through regular giving
from the congregation, or as ‘one-off’
contributions to the work which they undertake.
Statement confirming
whether the trustees have
had regard to the guidance
issued by the Charity
Commission on public
benefit		 Para 1.18 The charity trustees ‘have regard’ to the Charity
Commissions guidance on public benefit guidance
both when planning events, and reviewing work
that has been undertaken.

Achievements and Performance

SORP reference
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.		 Para 1.20 Following the turbulent times of 2020/21, we
are pleased that attendance has largely returned
to pre-pandemic levels. The Playtime and TLC
groups continue to be well attended, particularly
by those who have no regular connection with
the church.
Special events have given an opportunity for
others to join in and we continue to share the
Gospel of Salvation with all those that attend.
Through the year, there have been specific gifts
made to individuals, and Christian organisations
in support of the ingoing works that they
undertake.
At the start of 2022, we undertook the ‘Renew’
course (written and produced by Partnership
UK) to assist in planning the future direction of
the church and seeking the Lord’s guidance in
this work – this has seen a largely positive
outcome with a number of new ideas and
activities starting.

Independent examiner's report on the accounts

Section A Independent Examiner’s Report

Report to the trustees/ members of

Charity Name Westcliffe Road Christian Church

On accounts for the year Charity no ended 31[st] December 2022 (if any) 1155190 Set out on pages

(remember to include the page numbers of additional sheets)

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31/12/2022 .

Responsibilities and basis As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the of report accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

● the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or ● the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or

● the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.

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.
