-
Weekly children Sunday school - providing young children between 3 and 12 years old teachings on the bible and once the first lockdown started giving them weekly opportunities to connect with other children, can and have fun together.
-
Crèche services for nursing mothers and young babies - when we held face to face services this was provided during the service to give mothers and parents with very young children a place to feel comfortable to feed, change and interact with their children.
-
Provide support to the community through a variety of pastoral care initiatives and events
-
Counselling including martial, mental health and young people.
-

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Alive City Church
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Alive City Church
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Alive City Church (the Trust) for the year ended 30 June 2021.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
