Report of the Trustees for the year ended 30 June 2023
The Trustees, are pleased to present the annual report together with the accounts for the year ended 30 June 2023
Structure, Governance & Management
The Charity was registered with Charity Commission on the 5th of June 2015. Its governing document is a CIO Foundation constitution. The Charity is governed by a board of trustes whom meets regularly to review, plan activities and monitor the financial position.
Objectives & Activities
The charity is established with a primary objective: To advance the Christian Faith in accordance with its Statement of belief for the benefit of the public in United Kingdom and in other parts of the world, as the trustees may think fit from time to time. These objectives are charitable and our services are open to the members of the public. The Trustees confirm their due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefits when deciding activities the charity should undertake.
Achievement in the period
The Organisation continues to hold successful meetings throughout the year in which individuals were equipped and educated on the principles and doctrines of the Christian faith.
The charity has been instrumental in helping rebuild marriages, relationships, and dysfunctional families. The charity engaged in outdoor church activities designed to remote its goals and objectives. The organisation offered tuition classes to pupils which were used to raise funds for the charity. Bible study, some tuition classes, and some other activities took place at the registered address. The charity was able to work strategically and in partnership with other organisations for the public good.
Public Benefits Statement:
Anchor of Faith Global Church is a family focused charity. As a result, most of our programmes are tailored towards the holistic development and support of the family unit. Training, confrences and workshop were held for the benefit of the church members and the community.
Financial Review
The principal funding sources for the charity are currently by way of Tuition, Tithe & Offering.
The total income for the period under review was £7900 and the total payments made £8797 net Income / (Payments) of -£897
Future Development
The church intends to continue to host its regular yearly conferences and weekly services in the UK. The impact of Covid-19 has affected the charity's ability to fully pursue its objectives. However, the pandemic has also brought about new ways of thinking and doing things. So, the charity is exploring new ways to achieve its objectives, in an effort to be more effective, resourceful, and prudent.

Report of the Trustees for the year ended 30th June 2023
Reserve Policy
It is the policy of the charity to ensure unrectricted funds are kept at a level which provides sufficient funds to cover management, administration and support costs on an on-going basis. At least 3 months of Unrestricted expenditure is maintained, which provides sufficient fund to support emergency expenditure that may arise.
It is also its policy to keep any surplus liquid fund in short-trem deposits which can be readily acccessed and where the capital is protected. The objective of the investment policy is to maximise interest while limiting risk. This policy is adopted as the surplus funds are expected to be used in the near future to fund future committment.
Risk Management
The Trustees have conducted a review of the major risks which the charity is exposed, in particular those to operations and finances of the charity. The Trustees review the risk regularly at their meetings and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to major risks at all time.
Appropriate Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checks, supported by relevant training and regularly reviewed policies are made for all those who work with children or other vulnerable groups within the Charity. Where appropriate, systems have been estabalished to mitigate the risk the charity faces. Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions.
Members of the Board of Trustees
Members of the Board of Trustees, and trustees for the purpose of charity law, who served during the year and up to the date of this report are set out on page 1.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Anchor of Faith Global Church
I report on the accounts of the above Charity for the year ended 30th June 2023 set out on the following pages.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and independent examiner
The 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 independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Direction given by the Charity commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general directions given by the Charity Commission. 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 the 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 present 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 section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the
accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or
- 2.To which in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
