STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, the Constitution and constitutes a charity, as defined by the Charities Act 2011.

Membership of trustee board.

The trustees of the charity are also voluntary trustees for the purposes of charity law and under the charity's Constitution are known as members of the Trustees Board.

Induction and training of trustees

All trustees are familiar with the practical work of the church and have undertaken training to support their role.

Organisational structure

The Trustee Board meets quarterly and a quarterly branch feedback report is given at each meeting. The church Minister has the responsibility for the day to day operational management of the church.

Risk management

The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects. Procedures and risk assessments are in place to ensure compliance with Health and Safety of volunteers; members; children; and visitors to the church.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The charity's objects and its principal activity were:

ACHIEVEMENTS FOR THE YEAR:

In accordance with the charities objectives we have sought to 'advance the Christian faith' in a number of ways:

We have held Christian services each Sunday for any who want to come.

Pastoral care has been offered to those in need

The church has been available for baptisms, weddings and funerals. We have met for prayer and the church is available for people to come for private prayer.

In accordance with the objective of helping others we have done this in a number of ways:

We have given money to some who have come in need We have made welcome those in distress

Our church building gives a place to meet to organisations that seek to help others and be beneficial to the community around the church. Offered University Students a place of worship during term time.

Conclusion

During this past year we have carried out events in accordance with the charity's objectives

FINANCIAL REVIEW Financial Performance: The results of the year showed a surplus of £43,018.57. An increase of £31 ,24125 on the previous year as depicted in the statement of financial activities and the notes therein.

The bulk of the income for the year is generated from rental income.

Reserves policy

The trustees review the reserves of the charity annually and

acknowledged that the level of fund at present is appropriately sufficient. It is the trustees' policy to generally maintain reserves at a Iow level and to apply donation receipts to funding its activities. In light of the income generated, the trustees consider the balance of the unrestricted funds to be satisfactory in meeting the church obligations should potential liabilities arise.

Principal funding sources

At present the majority of the church's funding continues to come from the rental income from the church properties and personal donations from members of the church and the general public.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS:

We are seeking a new minister who can give the time needed to further the work of the charity.

We aim to develop the youth and children's activities To develop the church website to further the aims of the charity

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

STATEMENT OF DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS

So far as the trustees are aware, there is no relevant information of which the charity's independent examiners are unaware, and each trustee has taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as a trustee in order to make them aware of any examination information and to establish that the charity's independent examiners are aware of that information.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS

The independent examiners, X-Star Management Services Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.
