The objects of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation (as stated in the Constitution) are for the public benefit:

In preparing this Report the Trustees have considered the Charity Commissioner’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.

## Review of events of the year – 2023
1. The church continued to use digital technology as an option to reach both church members and the unchurched community. This included using the YouTube channel for showing sermons and Zoom for online meetings. There was also good use of the Coastlands website and Facebook pages.
2. The church continued to meet on Sunday mornings at the The Columbine Centre. Church members also met in small ‘Grow Groups’ either in homes, the Coastlands Community Centre or on Zoom.
3. The church based “Busybees” Parents and Toddlers group continued to meet at the Coastlands Community Centre in High Street, Walton. Important contact continues to be made through the work to parents, children and other family members living in the local area.
4. The church premises at 34 Newgate Street continued to be rented out through a letting agent to a local care agency business of good reputation. The rental income received was used to help fund church general activities.
5. Support of those involved in mission was shown by committing part of our general income towards Christian projects. This giving was directed through various channels of work as follows:
- (i) The Rainbow Trust / Go Go Trust - supporting orphaned children and their “nanny” carers in projects in South Africa.
- (ii) Open Doors – providing relief assistance to persecuted Christian refugees in Syria and others persecuted for their faith in other countries.
- (iii) Christian Mission and Relief work in India – this included support for a Christian pastor and his wife who work amongst some of the poorest communities in India. From this couple a project called the “Living Hope Centres” continued. This project aims to provide basic foods,

A special gift received in December 2020 of £26,514 for the work of the “Living Hope Centres” has been treated as Restricted Funds and is held in a reserve bank account for distribution for this specific purpose when required. At the end of December 2023 there remained a balance of £13,626 unspent.
- (iv) The Garden Tomb – supporting the evangelistic work of The Garden Tomb in Jerusalem; a place where it is believed that Jesus may have been buried after his crucifixion.
- (v) Mano&Mano Ministries – Donations were given to Mano & Mano Ministries in Ecuador to support the work of a Christian school.
- (vi) Earthquake Appeal – Donations were received and subsequently passed on for emergency relief work in earthquake hit parts of Turkey and Syria.
- (vii) Joseph Storehouse – who carry out humanitarian relief work in Israel for both Jews and Arabs.
8. The church supported the Frinton Mission (FM), held in August 2023. The Mission was organised by ‘Frinton Area Churches Together’ (FACT) of which the church is also a member.
9. The team of Elders continued to oversee the spiritual leadership of the church. This team consisted of Denis Bradshaw, Mark Rowland, Sarah Rowland and Joe Webster. Each of the Elders head up leadership teams called “Reaching Up”, Reaching Out”, Reaching In” and “Support” Teams.

15. The church ran a youth games and creative arts project called “Ignite”. The Ignite workers and volunteers also continued to run the weekly church children’s work called “Ignite Sunday”. A monthly church youth worship event continued called “Heart & Soul” – see also funding of self-employed Ignite workers in Note 16 below.
16. The remainder of a legacy received from a benefactor associated with Coastlands Community Church remains in an investment account with Kingdom Bank. The church trustees and elders have considered on an ongoing basis how this money could be used. If necessary, it had been decided that the funding of the self-employed Ignite workers should come from reserves held from the legacy money. Reserves had also been earmarked to help fund the Church Centre Building Project (see note 20).
17. A “Partners” scheme continued during the year in order to establish a formal framework of church supporters for the work of the church. Communications to Partners had been maintained during the year with the use of meetings, emails, letters and other digital means.
18. Coastlands Community Centre continues to be used for various church activities such as church services, Busybees, Ignite, Companion’s Café, Alpha, Community Events, Prayer meetings and Partners meetings. The Centre continues to be a very useful resource for the church.
19. A “Companion’s Café” continued to meet at the church centre. These were weekly meetings for lonely adults aged 55 or over. Refreshments and social activities were provided by a team of church volunteers. It also became a “Warm Hub” by providing a heated environment for those struggling with energy poverty.
20. Architects and building regulation agent’s services were used to finalise plans for 2 extensions to the Coastlands Community Centre building. Planning Approval had been received in 2022. Tenders were invited for the building project from 4 building contractors and 3 had submitted their tenders.
Grant applications were made to various appropriate local authority and grant making trusts to seek assistance in funding this project. In December 2023, a grant of £10,000 was received from the Communities Investment Fund (CIF). Further grants are expected to be received.
## Future Plans – 2024
1. To further progress the plans to modernise and extend the facilities at the Coastlands Community Centre by the building of a front extension and rear extension.
2. To continue with the established team of church Elders to maintain spiritual leadership, assist the pastor and associate pastor and to provide a secure framework and guide in the vision of the church. The Elders and Pastors will also look to raise up and encourage new people for the established leadership teams of “Reaching Up”, “Reaching Out”, “Reaching In” and “Support” teams.

# COASTLANDS COMMUNITY CHURCH INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF COASTLANDS COMMUNITY CHURCH
I have examined the accounts of Coastlands Community Church for the year ended 31 December 2023 which are set out on pages 9 to 18.
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(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 by 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 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:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
* to keep accounting records in accordance with s130 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.
