Trustees’ Annual Report. [ 2021-2022 ]

Aims and purposes.

The Charismatic Church of Christ Trustees (CCCT) are responsible for promoting and managing the mission of the Charismatic Church of Christ from a pastoral, evangelistic and social perspective.

Activities/objectives

The main objectives of the CCC are

• To promote the advancement of the Christian religion through different activities

• o The relief of poverty

• To help the most underprivileged, deprived, and vulnerable members of society

• o To relieve sickness and financial hardship and promote and preserve good health by providing funds, goods or services.

The CCCT are committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our local church in Manchester Newton Heath. The CCCT maintain an overview of worship and suggest how our services can involve the many groups that live within our community in Greater Manchester. Our services and worship activities put faith into practice through prayer, fasting, scripture, music, and different social actions. When planning our activities for the year, the CCCT have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific advice on charities for the advancement of religion. In particular, we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our community through:

• fasting and prayer

• different outreach missions

• music through praise & worship

• Bible teachings and Bible meditation

• developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus Christ.

• after-school homework club for the youth in the community

• special youth meetings

• provision of pastoral care for all

• evangelical and missionary activities

• empowering women (of African descent in particular)

Core achievements and performance (2021-2022)

We are providing education to the most deprived and vulnerable.

Our organisation is predominantly made of members of African backgrounds. Our service users are (former) asylum seekers and refugees. English is their second language. Many who have been granted indefinite leave to remain in the UK have managed to get into high education. However, as we have been made aware that they need help with assignments at university/high education level, we have started targeted essay support for all attending university/high education (basic proofreading). This is done free of charge by two of our members who have thankfully managed to become lecturers in UK universities and are competent in this field. This has made a positive impact as feedback have confirmed.

We are looking forward to carrying on with this project next year.

Moreover, during all services, we always encourage everyone to continue pursuing their studies as soon as they are granted their uncertain immigration status in the UK.

The relief of poverty

In the circumstances of the fighting, killing and rape in the Eastern part of the DRC, our organisations asked church members to voluntarily donate anything they could afford so that we could send the funds to people affected in DR Congo and Cameroon. All funds collected were sent to deprived persons in DR Congo and Cameroon. Priority was given to females who were victims of rape by soldiers/militia/etc.

Promoting the advancement of Christian religion/Worship and Prayer

Once more, like every year, to celebrate International Women's day in March 2021, we organised a women gathering for two days (13-14 March 2021). In the context of Covid-19 still affecting life, it was a blended activity at church (with a small number) and the majority following on Facebook.

At a time when the Eastern part of DRC was experiencing a high number of females being raped because rebels and others are using rape as a war weapon, we encouraged all women to remain optimistic that things would change in DR Congo one day. It was essential to bring a message of comfort because numerous of our members have also been victims of rape and torture in the past. All topics/discussions were centered around building up selfconfidence following a traumatic experience. Moreover, we signed post women to organisations such as FREEDOM FROM TORTURE where they could get additional professional support. Overall, even though there were some issues with the online connection, the event was a great success.

In July 2021, we organised our usual Manchester for Christ (M4C) conference as things were timidly re-opening. We used the same blended approach as the Women's conference. The feedback from the majority was that they would

prefer the event to occur face-to-face. However, on the positive side, it was a blessing to have at least nine people who committed to giving their lives to Jesus Christ. We are now looking forward to getting back to normal next year.

Structure, governance, and management

CCC trustees' appointment method is explained in detail in the CCC Constitution. The charity trustees manage the affairs of the CCC and may, for that purpose, exercise all the powers of the CIO. It is the duty of each charity trustee:

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CHARISMATIC CHURCH OF CHRIST

I report on the accounts of the church for the year ended 05 April 2022, which are set out on the attached page.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The church’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The church’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

• examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;

• to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145 (5) (b) of the 2011 Act); and

• to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required 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

• to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and

• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or

• (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
