Grimsby Church of the Nazarene Report of the Board of Trustees for the year ended 30 September 2025 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 they continue to explore these and the use of possible grants that may be available to enable these plans to become a reality. The receipts and payment account shows that there was a net decrease in funds during the year of £2,552 Income was slightly lower than last year, and the Manse property incomewas only £2,855, due to purchase and installation costs of a new cooker/hob and purchase of a shed.

The Community Outreach Café & Softplay has continued this year, and is still showing itself to be self-sufficient, with an income of £16,734 during the year, and expenses of £12,419, making a larger profit on this year than last, which is great to see. The overall change in the bank balance this year is a decrease of £2,104 which includes £1,716 held for various activities.

Grimsby Church of The Nazarene

Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees for the year ended 30 September 2025

I report on the accounts for the year ended 30 September 2025.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's 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 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:

i. examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,

ii. to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and iii. 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:

2. i. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and

ii. to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or iii. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
