Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 December 2021

Introduction:

Introduction:

With the global pandemic still in place alongside attendant disruptions early into/through the year, Glory Worship Church delivered a healthy balance of impactful/vibrant in-person services supported with regular online broadcasts to reach our online community and the wider public. Through it all, as a goal-oriented organisation, we achieved outstanding feats in the dispatch of our services as delineated below:

Activities:

Having earlier vacated our building in 2020 in the heat of the pandemic, we resiliently kept our focus and delivered our mission through our online and limited in-person services where we had to use a rented space to achieve the latter. This practice lasted from August 2020 into the first quarter of 2021 during which we secured a rented space of our own and began the much needed and highly capital-intensive project of restructuring it to our standards. This massive project lasted for a couple of months but was highly rewarding in the end as it afforded us the unique space to not only comfortably host our impactful services but also provide bespoke community-oriented services (through The Cornerstone Hub, our newly registered charity organisation) later in the year.
Through the year, we maintained/built our relationship/partnership with Fareshare Ltd, Food Drop Ltd and Neighbourly which allowed us to continuously receive food donations/supply to keep our food bank/share scheme goal effective and efficient. More so, with the extra personal efforts we still put in, we had surplus food and sundry supplies which empowered us to rightly address/meet the basic needs of families/individuals within our community through our charitable distribution of the supplies secured. Given the continuing effects of the pandemic, this service to the public unarguably was and still remains highly relevant to every beneficiary within our sphere of reach.
Regardless of the pandemic, at specific times, we were still able to tactfully host online, and in-person events targeted at a rich demographic variety of beneficiaries/our regular audience ranging from the married and unmarried to the old and young, learned, and unlearned, etc., focusing on their all-round empowerment/development. Further to those, we were also able to successfully and safely host summer and winter HAF term holiday events, which for our beneficiaries advocated social inclusion, promoted healthy eating, and living, promoted education, developed handy skills/craftmanship, advanced a sense of community and alleviated some of the tension brought about by reason of the pandemic.

Religious activities:

As always, Glory worship church usually holds a couple of highly engaging services open to members of the public during the week which allows us to purposefully reach out to people of different demographic groups. Our joint worship services are usually held on Sundays at 11am in which we would normally and safely provide light breakfast before the start of the service as well as light lunch at the end of the service. We were further able to celebrate our yearly anniversary in March, celebrate our graduating students in July, host a worship concert night in October (welcoming new students and individuals to the city) as well as host a community-open Christmas carol service in December with these programmes aimed at acknowledging how far we had come as a group and how much further we could go (with Christ as our Saviour and Lord), carrying all and sundry along. In all of these, our aim was to rightly support everyone under the church especially the vulnerable amongst us as well as to monitor the spiritual, mental, and physical wellbeing of our entire congregation and the community.

Funding/Donations:

For the year under review, we received external funding of £500, £2,769, and £2,660 each representing three (3) separate occasions. These funds were as a result of applications we made to host our summer and winter HAF term holiday events which was successfully deployed in October and December respectively. Other than these, every other event we hosted/project we embarked on (including the capital-intensive project of restructuring our present rented property) was solely funded by church members and trustees.

Conclusion:

Conclusively, it is needful to mention that the year under review was unique, ranging from the continuing effects of the pandemic on everyday human life to the challenges we encountered and surpassed as individuals and a church. In all, we are conscious of the truth that when it mattered most, against all odds, we took giant strides and made progress as a Church on a general note for which we are eternally grateful to God. As ever, we are still united, together, still standing strong and looking forward to recording and reporting even far better and greater achievements in the coming year.

Report of the Trustees For the Year Ended 31 December 2021

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

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;
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.

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charity's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD :

.............................................

Dr Blessing Osaghae Trustee Date:

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Glory Worship Church

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2021 set out on pages three to six.

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 required.

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 the 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 130 of the 2011 Act; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to 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.
