POLICIES
Code of Conduct: This Code of Practice provides guidelines on appropriate boundaries rather than assuming people know what the appropriate boundaries are.
Conflict of Interest Policy: All staff, volunteers, and trustees of The Elyott Generation will strive to avoid any conflict of interest between the interests of The Elyott Generation on the one hand, and personal, professional, and business interests on the other. This includes avoiding actual conflicts of interest as well as the perception of conflicts of interest.
The purpose of this policy is to protect the integrity of The Elyott Generation decision-making process, to enable stakeholders to have confidence in the organization’s integrity, and to protect the integrity and reputation of volunteers, staff and trustees.
SAFEGUARDING / CHILD PROTECTION POLICY
The Elyott Generation facilitates an environment in which children, young people and vulnerable adults are able to worship and grow in Christ safely and protected from any form of abuse. The Elyott Generation has a moral duty to ensure that it functions with a view of safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and those that are vulnerable. To reduce risk and safeguard the people we host; The Elyott Generation has volunteers who work closely
with children, young adults and vulnerable adults. They have received enhanced DBS checks and we ensure their behaviour constitutes safe and good practices.
What We Do
Our mandate is to continue stirring hearts to seek a deeper and more intimate relationship with the Lord. We focus on supporting individuals in their pursuit of purpose and personal development, in Christ. Raising and equipping people to embrace their identity in Christ and step into fulfilling the Lord’s desire and callings for their lives.
We do this via:
The Gatherings - Our meetings, retreats and conferences. These are powerful times of prayer, worship, teaching of God's word and fellowship.
Encounter Room- A regular event to encourage and re-ignite intimacy with God, by creating an atmosphere conducive for a personal encounter with God. This event which is free to attend, includes a light lunch, a time of worship, prayer, teaching and fellowship, facilitated by Rev. Valerie Elyott and the 1Aflame team.
1Aflame - Providing opportunities for people to serve others with their time, gifts and resources.
Vision Development- This programme is a mentoring process, to help the visionary through the various stages of establishing their vision. It is important to us that each vision is established with integrity and in alignment with the word of God.
Holding His Gaze - Nothing is more important than our one-to-one heart connection with the Lord. This is our way of recapturing those truths and staying sensitive to His heart, by taking time to reflect on Scripture, align with His heart and embrace His love. Teachings and prayer sessions are held via Zoom every other Tuesday @ 7:30pm – 9:30pm.
The Elyott Generation is committed to providing its activities, events, training, retreats and other services to all who would benefit from them. Our activities include unrestrained worship, heartfelt prayers, reflection on God's word and in-depth teaching sessions for adults and youth. The goal is to meet The Elyott Generation’s objectives which includes:
-
A structure for discipleship for Christians
-
Prayer support by trained intercessors
-
Pastoral Care
-
Christian courses and training
-
Organising events, social activities and conferences which are open to all looking to draw closer to God and know Jesus. And any other activities as identified by the trustees to further our aims and objects.
REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS
Encounter Room
Our Encounter Room gatherings were held almost every other month in 2023 at Something’s Brewing Cafe in Pinner. This served as a suitable, intimate venue with Cafe
service, serving each attendee with complimentary drinks and pastries as a treat from the Lord. We were able to achieve our aim of hosting an event inclusive of refreshments without charging the attendees any fees.
The meetings were well attended with many testimonies following. The Lord exceeded our expectations and met all of us individually; and each person left with their own experience of God, after having spent quality time with Him.
Holding His Gaze
Holding His Gaze is our way of recapturing God's truths concerning us and staying sensitive to His heart. We do this by taking time to reflect on Scripture, align with His heart and embrace His love. Holding His Gaze successfully took place fortnightly on Zoom.
Time Away With Jesus
Time Away With Jesus (TAWJ) a 3-day retreat hosted by the historic Ashburnham Place and facilitated by Rev. Valerie and The Elyott Generation team proved to be quality time with the Lord, away from distractions. It was a time of awakening hearts to His nearness and each session was facilitated in a way that encouraged personal engagement with the Lord, in the company of other Christians. There were times of worship, teaching and reflection. With about 20 people in attendance, there were many testimonies of refreshing and personal encounters with the Lord.
Launching our Merchandise Collection
We also launched our ministry's merchandise collection. We sourced high quality products including mugs, tote bags, jumpers and hoodies to help buyers share their faith as our designs make great conversation starters. Every purchase contributed financially to support the work of this ministry.
Team conference calls - Weekly
We continue to have our weekly conference calls to grow as a team. During these calls, the team is encouraged in their Christian faith while furthering their knowledge and understanding. We continue to pray together on our conference calls and utilise it as a time to share with one another. These take place every Monday from 9pm – 10pm.
Public Benefits and Achievements
Most of our activities are free of charge and meet public benefit requirements for a religious charity by delivering activities and programmes that meet the aims and purposes of the organizations. These are offered to anyone interested in the Christian faith and/or is a spiritual seeker.
Our provision is open to the public and offered to all via 1:1 appointment, in person gatherings, our website, and various social media platforms.
Volunteers
Our volunteers are made up of Christians from different church backgrounds. They volunteer of their own free will and are not in any way compelled to do so, when they cannot or no longer
want to volunteer. As a matter of due diligence at the end of every year, the volunteers are all asked if they would like to continue or move on.
Finances
Finances are raised by donations that are made to the charity.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The financial statements indicate that we received a total income of £56,293 for the year, comprised of £34,641 in unrestricted funds and £21,652 in restricted funds. This marks an increase of £4,681 in total income compared to 2022. The primary factor contributing to this growth was a general rise in donations to the charity.
On the expense side, our total expenditure amounted to £64,297, of which £34,637 were unrestricted funds and £29,660 were restricted funds. This represents an increase of £23,814 in total expenses from 2022. Several factors influenced this rise in expenses:
-
Ministerial Allowances: These include the costs associated with the Minister's parsonage, office and related bills, covering a full year at the new parsonage to which the Minister relocated at the end of 2022. The increased expenses are primarily due to higher rent and associated costs in the new location.
-
Telephone and Internet: We experienced rising costs in these areas due to increases in service fees from our providers.
-
Event & Honorarium Expenses: In 2022, we had one in-person event, due to COVID19 restrictions, opting for mostly online events instead. In 2023 however, we resumed regular in-person gatherings, leading to increased event and honorarium costs.
-
Charitable Donations: We had a notable increase in charitable donations throughout the year, with contributions directed toward key areas identified during this period.
As a result of these increased expenses, our reserves decreased by £8,004. However, since we had achieved positive reserves of £11,129 in 2022, this reduction brought our overall reserves down to £3,363.
Despite this decline, we successfully accomplished one of our financial objectives: to increase general funds for the charity. Our goal for 2024 is to restore positive reserves by focusing on boosting donations and implementing cost-reduction strategies. Moreover, we remain committed to our core mission of supporting individuals in their pursuit of purpose and personal development in Christ.
Looking ahead, we plan to register for Gift Aid, which will bolster the charity’s reserves and support our growth initiatives. Additionally, we will continue exploring diverse fundraising channels and activities to enhance our operational capacity and expand programs that serve our community effectively.

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of the charity
Report of the Independent Examiner to the trustees on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2023
I report on the financial statements of the Charity on for the year ended 31 December 2023 which have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (FRSSE), effective April 2008, adapted to meet the needs of unincorporated organisations, as modified by the Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting issued by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales, effective April 2005 as revised in June 2008. (The SORP), under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The Charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The trustees are satisfied that the audit requirement of Section 144(1) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply, and that there is no requirement in the governing document or constitution of the Charity for the conducting of an audit. As a consequence, the trustees have elected that the financial statements be subject to independent examination.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit, and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
a) examine the accounts under section 145 of the Act; b) to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act; and;
c) to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of opinion and scope of work undertaken
I conducted my examination in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners for England & Wales in relation to the conducting of an independent examination, referred to above. An independent examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and of the accounting systems employed by the Charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning such matters. The purpose of the examination is to establish as far as possible that there have been no breaches of the Charities legislation and that the financial statements comply with the SORP, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and information supplied by the trustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements, and in particular, I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity, and my report is limited to the matters set out in the statement below.
I planned and performed my examination so as to satisfy myself that the objectives of the independent examination are achieved and before finalising the report, I obtain written assurances from the trustees of all material matters.
Independent Examiner's Statement, report and opinion
Subject to the limitations upon the scope of my work as detailed above, in connection with my examination, I can confirm that this is a report in respect of an examination carried out under section 145 of the Act and in accordance with any directions given by the Commission under subsection (5)(b) of that section which are applicable;
