**CL Notes to the C 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 quickly 

withdrawn to pay for debts as they become due.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 comes from our members’ tithes and offerings. 

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

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

salary. 

## **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.
