COME AND SEE MINISTRIES Charity Number 1169051 Trustees’ Annual Report For the Year ended 31 December 2020

Administrative Information:

Come and See Ministries is situated in The New Barnet, Hertfordshire. It is part of the Universal, historic and mystical Body of Christ known as the Church. The correspondence address is 6 Westbrook Square, Barnet EN4 9AX.

Come and See Ministries is a charity registered with the Charity Commission, UK.

Trustees who served during the year:

Incumbent: Izuwa John Anyanwu – Chairman Pastor Roseline Anyanwu

Mrs Benerdette Adebayo Mr Izuwa John Anyanwu Mrs Alaneme Elizabeth Ogugua Mrs Elizabeth Joseph Mr Patrick Obiegbunam

Structure, governance and management

The method of admission of Church members is set out in the Ministries Constitution.

Objectives and Activities

Come and See Ministries members have the responsibility of co-operating with the incumbent, Pastor Roseline, in promoting the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical.

Achievements and Performance

There are 50 members on the church roll, 4 of whom are not resident within the borough. Due to the pandemic the services were held via zoom. However, we are hopeful that membership will increase once the pandemic is over.

Review of the year

The Trustees met once during the year with an attendance rate of 60%.

Church services were held on Sundays via zoom in most part of the year and live service commenced in the last quarter of the year in the rented hall at 97 East Barnet Road,but bible studies on Wednesdays, and Night Vigils every last Friday of the month continued via zoom.

The School of Ministry took place every Thursday of the week via zoom where those aspiring to be ordained ministers are taught the word of God.

Financial Review

Come and See Ministries' balance includes £58,234 retained in restricted funds account as part of the building funds for the church as agreed by the trustees. The decrease in offerings and donations as reported in the financial statements is commensurate with the decrease in membership as a result of covid-19 and the pandemic. The bank balance at 31st December 2020 was £170,060 (2019: £125,246). The trustees decided to close the Nationwide account in the year for more effective management. Management and controls of these funds are closely monitored by the trustees.

Reserves Policy

It is our policy to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds, which equates to approximately six months unrestricted payments, to cover emergency situations that may arise from time to time. The balance of £111,826 held as unrestricted funds at the year end should be sufficient to cope with immediate demand.

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the church and to enable them to ensure that

the financial statements comply with the guidelines of the Charity Commissions of United Kingdom. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
