## Trustees Report SHCF 2023/24
We worship each Sunday at the Church and have Bible Studies and Prayer Meetings on Zoom and in homes.
We have continued with our community projects: Coffee Mornings. Kids Club, Youth Group, as well as a ‘Drop In Centre’ in cooperation with the NHS service.
Church ‘Giving’ has been consistent throughout the year and many members contribute monthly by on line bank transactions. We have also obtained some funding from John Lyon Charity for holiday outings for our Youth and Children’s Work.
This year we have appointed Deacons at the church for the first time, who are beginning to take responsibilities in various aspect of church life.

## **Receipts and Payments Accounts**
## **Report to the trustees/members of South Harrow Christian Fellowship**
## **Registered Charity number 1156050**
## **On the accounts for the year ended 5 April 2024**
## **Set out on the following pages**
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- Examine the accounts (under section 145 of the 2022 Act;
- To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- State whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner’s report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 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 no opinion is given as to whether the accounts a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section130 of the 2011 Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
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.
