## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**
The Trustees have pleasure in submitting the Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020.
## **Objects of the charity**
The charity, is governed by a constitution and is constituted as a charitable incorporated organisation. The charity's principal objects, as set out in its governing document, are:
(1) The advancement of the Christian faith in accordance with the Statement of Faith exclusively by facilitating the charitable activities of City toCityUK.
(2) such other charitable objects as shall, in the opinion of the charity trustees, further the work of City to City UK.
City to City UK is an affiliate of Redeemer City to City a not-for-proft organisation located in New York City, USA. All affiliate organisations of Redeemer City to City affirm its Theological Core and Ethics Statement. City to City UK is an independent charity with links to a sister organisation of City to City Europe.
## **Summary of the charity's main activities and achievements**
To further the above objects and vision, the charity's main activities and achievements were as follows:
In September, we gathered 15 leaders from London, Oxford and Birmingham, representing 7 church plants in different stages, with the first ever online edition of the City to City Incubator programme, which trains church planters over 2 years and is a flagship offering of CTC.
We’ve formed a leadership team for the London Project, with representatives of five continents, to serve our global city: Neil (Europe) as Executive Director, Caroline (Asia) as Director of Operations, Girma (Africa) as Catalyst, Pete (Europe) as part of the Leadership Team, Luiz (Latin America) as the Comms and Programme Manager and Clay (North America) volunteering full time for the next two years.
We’ve begun to build a city-wide collaborative movement, by connecting with leaders from different networks, tribes and churches, especially from African and Asian communities. London’s hyperdiversity is being met by a growing number of diaspora churches, who want to foster a culture of collaboration for church multiplication, gospel renewal and city impact.
We’ve hosted 7 City Labs (leadership training sessions) to serve and encourage over 100 pastors, planters and ministry leaders across London, having Rev Celia Apeagyei-Collins, Kristi Mair, Alan Hirsch, Dan Strange, Joel Edwards, Simon Barrington, Andrew Katay as guest speakers.
In planning the activities the Trustees have applied the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.

The grants cover employment costs related to the establishing of The London Project. All other training costs are met through charitable donations and fees charged for training provided.
## **Reserves policy**
The charity has ended the year with sufficient funds to fulfil its aims and objectives for the coming year. The charity has no plans to hold unrestricted reserves. The funding for the charity’s activities depend on grants received from our sister organisation in New York.
## **Responsibilities of trustees**
Charity law requires us as Trustees to prepare financial statements for each accounting year which record the receipts and payments of the charity for the year.
We are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable us to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011.
We also have a responsibility to safeguard the assets of the charity and to take reasonable steps to prevent fraud or any other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT**
## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF**
## **CITY TO CITY UK**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of City to City UK ('the charity') for the year ended 31 December 2020 on pages 5 to 8 following.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 1. accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with the accounting records.
I would draw attention to Note 3 "Transactions with Related Parties" where it is noted that a trustee was employed when this was not permitted by the governing document. As noted the trustee concerned recently resigned as a trustee as part of the steps taken by the charity to rectify this misunderstanding.
I have no other concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The accountancy profession have determined that only accounts prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards present a 'true and fair' view and, as these receipts and payments accounts have not (and cannot) be prepared in accordance with accounting standards, these accounts do not present (and are not intended to present) a 'true and fair' view of the charity's financial activities and state of affairs.
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the charity. Restricted funds are donations which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors; they include donations received from appeals for specific activities or projects.

## **5 Prior year comparatives**
The allocation of costs between unrestricted and restricted funds for the previous year have been restated to more correctly recognise expenditure which fulfils the restrictions of grants received.

This income is received as agent for these other charities and the income, and the related payments, are excluded from the Receipts and Payment Account. During the year the charity received £7,632 on behalf of 2020 Birmingham.
