The CIO is govemed by an approved governing constituting document drawn up by
Anthony Collins, Charity Solicitors, Birmingham and approved by the Charity Commission

the Global Church of The Nazarene where UK law permits.
Risk Management
The risk management strategy of the church is in a continual process of formulation in
response to the changing circumstances that could impact upon the work of the church.
The Board of Trustees, in considering this important task, take direction from on-going

Report of the Board of Trustees for the year ended 30 September 2024
Financial Review
Reserves
The charity does not have a policy on reserves as the expenditure and work of the charity
is reliant upon the ongoing support, tithes and offerings of the members and friends
received at the weekly meetings. The Board of Trustees reviews on a monthly basis the
anticipated income and expenditure for the next two to three months in order to ensure the
ongoing work of the charity.
Financial Review of the Year
The charity has continued throughout the year to meet and tailor the expenditure it incurs
to the income received through rent for use of the building and through the tithes offerings
and donations received. There is much more that the Board of Trustees would like to do
and we continue to explore these and the use of possible grants that may be available to
enable these plans to become a reality.
No grants were re￿iVed during the year.
The receipts and payment account shows that there was a net increase in cash funds
during the year of £9199.
Plans for Future Periods
The Board ofTrustees meets on a monthly basis to plan and lookto the fvture ofthe charity.
The Church is seeking to appoint a new Pastor.
Declaration
The Trustees declare that they have approved the trustees, report above.
