## **Notes to the accounts for the year ended** _**Date**_ 

## **1. Receipts & payments accounts** 

Receipts and payments accounts are statements that summarise the movement of cash into and out of the organisation during the financial year. In this context “cash” includes cash equivalents, for example, bank accounts where cash can be readily withdrawn to pay for debts as they become due. 

## **2. Grants & Donations** 

We do not receive grants from any government department neither from Bristol City Council. Our main source of income is coming from our members’ tithes and offerings. 

## **3. Committee members’ remuneration** 

None of our committee members (including the **Senior Pastor** ) receive wages. 

## **4. Related party transactions** 

Some of the voluntary expenses are really difficult to record in the present financial statement due the fact that the member does not want to be reimbursed for the money spent. The nature of our organisation is to spread the Gospel of our Lord JESUS CHRIST as well as financial help for member if/where possible or needed. Sometimes that may come from any church’s member who does not want to be identified. 

We feel the need to emphasise that, our main priority is to have our own or at least lease a building for our activities that why we are saving. Right now where we are, there are so many restrictions which are hindering us.
