## **Our Aims and objectives**
## **Purposes and Aims**
The main object of the charity is the provision of a meeting place for the local community for purposes that include the advancement of the Christian faith. In support of this object are the promoting, supporting and organising of scholarships, conferences, seminars, study tours; establishing and supporting the establishment of churches and other charitable institutions for the benefit of the Christian faith; providing, furnishing, equipping and maintaining and managing buildings; providing a meeting place for young people and such other facilities as will help them to develop their mental and spiritual capacities and so to grow to full maturity as individuals in the faith of Christ and as members of society; to exercise a ministry of care, counselling, practical and financial help and assistance to those in need of spiritual and other help and support.
## **Review of Activities**
The church building and associated land has been maintained throughout the year. Extensive work has been completed on the interior of the Church building, including complete refurbishment of the entrance, main hall, kitchen and toilets allowing both church and nursery to offer a much-improved play and learning environment to the local community.
The building has been used by local and church groups including Wavertree Christian Gospel Choir, Knit and natter and theGardening Club.
These works enabled the church to offer the following weekly events:
•Sunday worship meetings •Sunday School •Pre-School Nursery •Parent and Toddler group •Gospel Choir
On a monthly basis our facilities are made available for the following activities: •Gardeners’ Club •Prayer Meeting •Prayer for Liverpool
The trust continued its employment of qualified counsellor Sue Harris until her retirement in July 2022. Her dedication and carehas enabled the Church to support countless members of the local community and Church over the years.
## **Relationships with other charities**
The charity has working relationships with: Wavertree Christian Community Centre (See special note), The Evangelical Alliance, Merseyside Evangelical Alliance Trust, The Haven Project and REACH.
## **Links with the church on Merseyside and beyond**

We hope to maintain our prayer network links and to continue to utilise our existing relationship with Together For The harvest. The leadership team have made time to meet with other leaders in the city and encouraged fellowship members to attend citywide and national events.

**Wavertree Christian Community Centre Charity Number: 1172484 Independent examiners report for the year ending 31st March 2023**
## **Independent Examiner**
Graeme O'Callaghan ACA 300 St Mary's Road, Garston, Liverpool L19 0NQ
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act
## **Basis of independent examiner’s report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in 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: which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the 1 requirements: - To keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; - To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of 2 the accounts to be reached
