PENTECOSTAL CITY MISSION CHURCH
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st March 2025. 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 objects are:
-
To advance the Christian religion.
-
To provide facilities and activities that promote social welfare, recreation, and improved quality of life.
-
To promote racial harmony and good race relations.
-
To relieve financial hardship through the provision of services and goods to those in need.
These objectives are achieved through a range of community engagement initiatives, outreach programs, and church services designed to support individuals and families within the local communities where the charity operates.
During the reporting year, the charity completed a full year of operations in which in-person services were made accessible at scheduled weekly opening times to both members and the general public. In addition, online service provision continued to play a vital role in supporting individuals who are house-bound or unable to travel.
Digital platforms, including Zoom, Facebook, and YouTube, were used extensively to connect and engage individuals locally and internationally. These platforms supported worship, education, and social development on a weekly basis.
Regular activities for children, young people, and adults were expanded across more branches, particularly during weekends and school holiday periods. The charity experienced increased expenditure during the year due to rising costs associated with utilities, hall rentals, building maintenance, and hospitality linked to events and community support activities.
The charity's main sources of income remain gifts, donations, and both internal and external fundraising events. Looking ahead, the charity anticipates increased income generation through the expanded rental of church premises to other churches, community groups, and organizations hosting business meetings and social events.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
Many of the church's annual activities-including conventions, retreats, baby dedications, and weddings-continued throughout the year. Weekly in-house services included Sunday Worship, Sunday School, Men's and Women's Fellowships, Bible Study, Prayer and Fasting Services, and Young People's Group meetings. These services were regularly attended by members and visitors seeking spiritual guidance, support, and encouragement.
The church also hosted national early-morning prayer meetings, bringing together individuals during a period marked by economic, educational, and health-related challenges. In addition, special training sessions were organized on topics such as mental health and dementia awareness, equipping members with knowledge to support their own wellbeing and that of others.
The conduct of funeral services and bereavement support was a significant aspect of the charity's work during the year. Ongoing pastoral care included home and hospital visits to support the sick and elderly, helping to reduce loneliness and isolation among vulnerable members.
Community engagement activities included continued support for local foodbanks and the distribution of food to individuals and families experiencing financial hardship.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025
Safeguarding and Risk Management
The church is registered with "Strengthening Faith Institutions", which provides guidance and training on health and safety and risk assessment. The charity is also registered with the child protection organization Thirty-one eight. Safeguarding policies are reviewed periodically, Designated Safeguarding Leads are in place, and ongoing training needs are identified to ensure the safety and wellbeing of all participants.
Summary of Achievements
The Trustees consider the charity's performance over the year to be satisfactory and remain committed to supporting the charity in fulfilling its stated objectives. Key achievements include:
-
Continued support for the spiritual wellbeing of members and the wider community through both in-person and online services.
-
The provision of online workshops, seminars, tutorials, and Bible study, enabling learning, testimony sharing, and spiritual growth.
-
Ongoing mental health and wellbeing training to support individuals experiencing personal challenges.
-
The continued expansion of community foodbank initiatives addressing food poverty and financial hardship. 5. Sustained pastoral care for vulnerable, sick, and elderly members, including regular visits, follow-up calls, and prayer support.
Acknowledgments
The Trustees express their sincere gratitude to all members, volunteers, auxiliary leaders, and supporters for their unwavering dedication to the mission of the Pentecostal City Mission Church. The collective efforts of each branch have played a vital role in advancing the charity's objectives and serving the wider community.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial review
The trustees are satisfied with the performance of the charity for the financial year ended 31 March 2025 which reported a deficit of £29,781, (2024 - £36,344) and reserves of £4,242,262 (2024 - £4,272,043). The trustees are satisfied that there are sufficient funds available to meet the day to day operations of the charity.
Investment policy and objectives
It is our policy to invest our funds balances on our Deposit Account to ensure a reasonable return in terms of interest and long-term protection from inflation.
Reserves policy
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to three and six month's expenditure. The trustees considers that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised.
FUTURE PLANS
The charity intends to:
-
Strengthen inter-branch collaboration on shared initiatives such as evangelism and mental health seminars.
-
Expand mentorship and leadership development programs for young people and adult members, including group leaders.
-
Continue and grow successful partnerships with churches and charities through monthly prayer meetings, food distribution programs, and missionary outreach.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF PENTECOSTAL CITY MISSION CHURCH
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Pentecostal City Mission Church (the 'charity') for the year ended 31st March 2025 which comprise the Statement of financial activities, the Statement of financial position, the Statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.
In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the charity's affairs as at 31st March 2025 and of its incoming resources and application of resources, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'; and - have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
Basis for qualified opinion
The books and records maintained and submitted to us by a number of the Branches are incomplete and do not contain the full description of the nature of income and expenditure. Consequently we were unable to determine whether any adjustment to the figures and classification was necessary. We are also unable to confirm that satisfactory financial policies and procedures are in operation throughout the charity and that adequate accounting records are maintained.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with those requirements. We believe that the audit evidence is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The trustees are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual report, other than the financial statements and our Report of the independent auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Page 6
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF PENTECOSTAL CITY MISSION CHURCH
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
Arising from the limitation of our work referred to above:
-
we have not obtained all the information and explanations that we considered necessary for the purpose of our audit; and
-
we were unable to determine whether adequate accounting records have been kept , or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Charities Act 2011 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns;
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained more fully in the Statement of trustees' responsibilities, the trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the charity or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and relevant regulations made or having effect thereunder.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the independent auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of our planning process:
- We enquired of management the systems and controls the charity has in place, the areas of the financial statements that are mostly susceptible to the risk of irregularities and fraud, and whether there was any known, suspected or alleged fraud. The charitable company did not inform us of any known, suspected or alleged fraud.
-We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the charty. We determined that the following were most relevant: FRS 102, Charities Act 2011(England and Wales) and regulation 8 of the Charities Accounts Regulations 2006 for preparing financial statements, Trustees Act 1925 and 2000, Care Standards Act 2000, Finance Act, Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998, Bribery Act 2010, Data Protect Act, Employer's Liability Insurance, Childcare Act 2006, , Children Act 2004, Employment law and Health and Safety Regulations.
-We considered the incentives and opportunities that exist in the charity, including the extent of management bias, which present a potential for irregularities and fraud to be perpetuated, and tailored our risk assessment accordingly.
-Using our knowledge of the charity, together with the discussions held with the charity at the planning stage, we formed a conclusion on the risk of misstatement due to irregularities including fraud and tailored our procedures according to this risk assessment.
Page 7
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE TRUSTEES OF PENTECOSTAL CITY MISSION CHURCH
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the charity's internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the trustees.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of the trustees' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the charity's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our Report of the independent auditors to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our Report of the independent auditors. However, future events or conditions may cause the charity's to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the charity's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the charity's trustees those matters we are required to state to them in an auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity's trustees as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
