## **POTTERS HOUSE CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP UK SURREY CHURCH**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES For the Year Ended 31 March 2025**
## **OBJECTS AND POLICIES**
The core mission of our charity, THE POTTERS HOUSE CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP UK SURREY CHURCH, is to effectively spread the gospel of Jesus Christ and foster a local worship community. We achieve this by diligently organizing a diverse range of activities and extending invitations to the public.
## **Our primary objectives**
1. Spreading the Gospel: We are dedicated to promoting the teachings of Jesus Christ to individuals from all walks of life, inspiring them to embrace faith and a personal relationship with God.
2. Worship Services: We facilitate regular worship services that provide a sacred space for believers to come together, express their devotion, and experience spiritual growth through prayer, worship, and studying the Scriptures.
3. Community Engagement: We actively engage with our local community through various initiatives, events, and outreach programs, aiming to address pressing needs, offer support, and offer opportunity for rehabilitation and mentoring to those in need.
4. Inclusive Gathering: Our efforts extend beyond the church walls as we strive to create an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome, regardless of their background or status.
To fulfil these objectives, we organize a wide array of regular activities, embracing different formats, such as prayer meetings, Bible studies, fellowship groups, youth gatherings, and community service projects.
In addition, we actively invite and encourage the public to join us in our worship services and other events, extending a warm invitation to experience the transformative power of the gospel firsthand.
## **ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE**
The past year has been one of significant activity and measured growth for the Church. It has been characterised by new initiatives, sustained community engagement, and steady organisational development, reflecting continued progress in delivering our charitable and community-focused objectives.
In May, we hosted the Croydon Harvesters event, which brought together visiting ministers, including Pastor Daryl Elliot (Australia) and Pastor Nigel Brown, alongside pastors from our baby churches. This gathering provided leadership development, clarity, and encouragement for our wider church fellowship, strengthening shared vision and collaborative purpose.

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES For the Year Ended 31 March 2025**
Throughout the year, our community outreach programmes have continued to demonstrate positive outcomes. Local engagement has been well received, and our mentoring and rehabilitation initiatives have supported a number of young men, with participants reporting meaningful personal and social improvements. In addition to local activity, we extended support to other churches through monthly outreach teams, contributing to capacity-building efforts beyond our immediate community.
## **PLANS FOR THE FUTURE**
Progress has also been made toward the purchase of our building. We are currently in the final stages of raising funds for a building deposit, with Kingdom Bank having agreed in principle to provide mortgage financing for the purchase. Our initial down payment will enable us to proceed with the acquisition and allow sufficient time to complete the remaining fundraising and required legal and administrative processes.

## **STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES**
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to

## **POTTERS HOUSE CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP UK SURREY CHURCH**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES For the Year Ended 31 March 2025**
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF POTTERS HOUSE CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP UK SURREY CHURCH**
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 set out on pages seven to twelve
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity's trustees (who are the directors for the purposes of company law) 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 required. The charity's gross income was around £750,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of CIMA.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, 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 with 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 statements 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 386 and 387 of the Companies Act 2006 and
- to prepare the accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 394 and 395 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principals of the statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
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.
