Trustees’ Annual Report

(2024-2025)

Aims and purposes

The Charismatic Church of Christ Trustees (CCCT) promote and manage the church's mission from a pastoral, evangelistic, and social perspective, welcoming all who share our values and mission.

Objectives and activities

The main objectives of the CCC are:

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

• The relief of poverty.

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

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

The CCCT is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our faith group and become part of our local church in Manchester, Miles Platting. The CCCT maintains an overview of worship activities and actively involves 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 various social actions, fostering a sense of community and togetherness.

Further, when planning our activities for the year, the CCCT have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefits, particularly the specific advice on charities for advancing religion. In particular, we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our community through:

Essential achievements and performance (2024-2025)

Mothers/Women of African origins special meetings.

Drawing on the positive feedback received from the previous year, regular evening meetings for women continued to be held on the first Monday of every month. Attendees are predominantly women of African origins, with a small number of exceptions. The central theme of these meetings remained focused on self-esteem and empowering women to speak out against abuse. Many women of African origins face personal mindset challenges rooted in their upbringing, often leading them to perceive themselves as inferior to men. We encouraged them to challenge any form of maltreatment, injustice, and discrimination respectfully but firmly.

During these sessions, we also encouraged women to pursue further education, explaining that greater educational attainment opens doors to better employment opportunities and, consequently, a greater positive impact on society — beginning within their own households. It is hoped that this will, in turn, foster greater mutual respect within their marriages.

Fathers/Men of African origins special meetings.

Building on the work carried out in the previous year, men continued their practice of gathering on the last Saturday of every month at church. Once again, these well-attended meetings provided an opportunity to raise further awareness around respect for women and children. Due to certain cultural and religious backgrounds, a significant number of men in African communities may not always demonstrate basic respect towards women and children. The key message conveyed to all attendees was that culture and religion cannot be used as justification for the abuse of women and children, under any circumstances. Men were strongly encouraged to engage in respectful and constructive dialogue with their wives and children, particularly in cases of disagreement or differing views. Based on feedback from women and children

within our community, there have been further positive, progressive changes in a number of households. Nevertheless, there remains more work to be done.

Education.

We continue to provide educational support to the most deprived and vulnerable members of our communities. Building on the work initiated in previous years, education remained a cornerstone of our activities this year. English is a second language for the majority of our service users. Many young people — predominantly children of refugees who have been granted indefinite leave to remain in the UK — have succeeded in gaining entry to higher education.

However, equivalently to what we successfully achieved last year, having been made aware of their need for support with academic assignments, we have introduced targeted essay assistance for those attending university or higher education institutions, including basic proofreading. This service is provided free of charge by members of our congregation who are lecturers at UK universities. Feedback has confirmed that this initiative has had a positive impact. Furthermore, during all services, we consistently encourage everyone to continue pursuing their studies upon being granted indefinite leave to remain in the UK.

The relief of poverty.

As has become a tradition for our organisation, in December 2024, service users and trustees gathered at Sackville Gardens in Manchester, where we donated free food, warm clothing, and other essentials to homeless people in Central Manchester.

Furthermore, we organised regular home visits to support the most deprived members of our organisation. During these visits, essential items were donated to families to help alleviate the pressures of the rising cost of living.

Additionally, throughout the year, the church conducted regular weekly and monthly hospital visits to pray for those who were ill, as well as for those with ill family members. Basic refreshments, such as drinks, were also donated on these occasions. ~~a~~ Promoting the advancement of Christianity. In July 2024, we hosted our annual Manchester for Christ (M4C) conference. This year’s conference was a beacon of hope, with nine individuals choosing to be baptised on the final day, symbolising their commitment to Jesus Christ. This profoundly moving occasion inspired all in attendance and reaffirmed our collective belief in the transformative power of faith.

In addition to the above, as in previous years, we organised a special women's gathering to celebrate International Women's Day in March 2025. At a time when the eastern region of the Democratic Republic of Congo continues to experience widespread sexual violence — with rebel groups such as the AFC/M23 using rape as a weapon of war — we sought to encourage all women to remain hopeful that the situation in the DRC will one day change. It was vital to offer a message of comfort, as a significant number of our members have themselves been victims of rape and torture. Once again, all discussions were centred on rebuilding self-confidence in the aftermath of traumatic experiences.

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

I report on the accounts of the church for the year ended 01 April 2025, 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 Commissioners under section 145 (5) (b) of the 2011 Act; and

• to state whether 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 to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
