Review of events of the year – 2024

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.

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:

6. (i) The Rainbow Trust / Go Go Trust - supporting orphaned children and their “nanny” carers in projects in South Africa.

7. (ii) Open Doors – providing relief assistance worldwide Christians persecuted for their faith. (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,

medicines and self-support schemes. The Centres also combined this relief work with proclaiming the Gospel.

At the end of December 2024 there remained a balance of £13,626 unspent.

Trustee’s responsibilities

Under the Charities Act 2011, the Trustees are required to prepare statement of accounts for each financial year which gives a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity at the end of the financial year and of the incoming resources and application of resources in the year. In preparing the statement, the Trustees are required to:

• select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;

• make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

• state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the statement of accounts;

• prepare financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Charity will continue its operations.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Charity at that time and to enable the Trustees to ensure that any statement of account prepared by them complies with the regulations under the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

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 2024 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.
