TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28TH FEBRUARY 2023
Trustee Selection
Trustees are selected by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the Charity trustees.
Objects and Activities
(1) To advance the Christian faith in accordance with the Statement of Beliefs appearing in the Schedule hereto in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the Trustees may from time to time think fit;
(2) To further Christian and secular education for the public benefit in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the Trustees may from time to time think fit;
(3) To relieve persons who are in conditions of need or hardship or who are aged or sick or disabled and to relieve the distress caused thereby in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the Trustees may from time to time think fit.
Summary of Main Activities
-
1) Support for local evangelistic events
-
2) Support for University education of three students in Uganda
-
3) Medical assistance for Ugandan Pastor requiring treatment for kidney disease
-
4) Rent and poor relief for churches in Albania
Achievements and Performance
We provided financial support and underwriting for local evangelistic events during the summer and at Christmas, as well as administrative help with these events. We financed three Ugandan students through their University courses resulting in a 1st Class honours BSc in Agriculture, a 2.1 BA in Economics. The third is a degree in Theology which will enable a Pastor to register his church with the government. This is not yet finished. We provided financial support for a Ugandan church leader who requires dialysis and is awaiting a kidney transplant. We provided rent and poor relief for two churches in Albania.
Risk Assessment
Major risks are identified and managed appropriately. We do not have in place buildings, employers’ liability and public liability insurances, as not applicable. We have Trustees’ Liability Insurance.
Public Benefit
Inn Christian Ministries is very aware of the diverse needs of the population that it serves. None of the activities of the organisation cause detriment to any section of the community – rather the reverse. We seek to support the local community, and the wider community both in this country and abroad. We seek particularly to serve the most disadvantaged in society.
Financial Review
Current funds stand at £40,160.86.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS
Report to the trustees/members of the Inn Christian Ministries CIO on the accounts for the year ended 28th February 2023 set out on pages 7 to 10.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144 (2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act)) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts (under section 145 of the Act),
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145 (5) (b) of the Act), and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the organisation 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:
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 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.
