Annual Report for 2021
The Trustees present their Annual Report and financial statements for 2021 .
Structure, Governance and Management
The Charity governing document is a CIO — Foundation Constitution registered 21 July 2015. The Charity is governed by a board on which the trustees are represented. It meets regularly to review, plan activities and monitor the financial position.
Objectives and Activities
The Objects of the organisation are first to advance the Christian faith in accordance with the statement of beliefs for the benefit in the United Kingdom and in such other parts of the world as the trustees may think fit from time to time. The trustees confirm that they have had due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit before deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
Achievements and Performance
The Organisation held successful meetings through the year in which individuals were equipped and educated on the principles and doctrines of the Christian tithe. The organisation held outreach meetings during the year in which individuals had the opportunity to hear the message of the Christian faith. This has produced good results in reaching and helping members of the community.
Financial Review
The income of the charity totalled £220. This is lower than last financial year due to Covid-19 pandemic; and the charity costs have been well controlled over this period. The organisation is still in a good position to manage its costs. The main cost of the organisation was paying for the equipment it uses for its meetings.
Reserve Policy
It is the policy of the Charity to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the reserves of the charity at about 3 months of unrestricted expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover any emergency expenditures that may arise from time to time. The charity will seek to maintain this level throughout the year.
Risk Management
The charity has assessed all the major risks to which the charity is exposed to, especially risks associated with operations and finances of the charity. The Trustees are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to major risks.
