Greenford Church of Christ
Report of the Trustees for the year 01 April 2021 – 31 March 2022 Structure, Governance and management
Governing document
Greenford Church of Christ is constituted as a charitable trust registered with the Charity Commission on the 20 November 2017 under the charity number 1175815. It is governed by the constitution of Greenford Church of Christ last amended on the 20 November 2017.
Organisation Structure
The charity trustees are responsible for the control and management of the charity. The Trustees give their time freely and receive no remuneration or other financial benefit. The Trustees so far have been incapacitated to some extent in carrying out the responsibilities incumbent upon them to do due to the following reasons
-
1) Opening an account for the charity has been an on-going challenge that we are still facing. Even after covid 19 in 2021. Yes it would seems arguable that a year after pandemic the account is not still functioning. The reason of this situation is that banks appointment was quite difficult to arrange and when appointment is to be scheduled the both Directors to attend the appointment are not available due to work schedule and travels due to unforeseen circumstances. We hope this year we will get an account since the work load is reduced and less travels. Hence there is no financial transaction carried out by the Charity.
-
2) Due to lack of account we have not been able to raise fund in order to acquire our own place of Worship. Some of the objectives has not been carried still as supposed to. Nevertheless, we sometime team up with other sister congregations to carry out e.g. evangelism and other church activities. Hence we do not have a permanent address for the charity yet.

Recruitment and appointment of trustees
The existing trustees are responsible for the recruitment of new trustees. Unfortunately, this was not implemented due to lack of fully running the Charity as we should due to reasons enumerated above. This we were looking forward to increasing the number of trustees to minimum of three trustee members.
Induction and training of Trustees
This was not possible since there were no new appointed trustees.
Our Object
The objects of the CIO are set to reflect our faith and community aims. Each year the trustees supposed to review our objectives but this was not done due to the circumstances that hindered us.
