` ACHIEVEMENTS’ IN 2022
GLORY WORSHIP CHURCH Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 December 2022 Introduction:
Introduction:
Through the year, Glory Worship Church consistently and intentionally delivered a healthy balance of impactful/vibrant in-person services supported with regular online broadcasts to reach our online community. As ever and as a goal-oriented organisation, we achieved outstanding feats through the dispatch of our services as delineated below:
Activities:
-
We rightly kept up pace with consistent investment into our rented property, restructuring and maintaining it to best standards. This massive project ran through the year per time but remains highly rewarding in the end as it affords us the unique space to not only comfortably host our impactful services but also provide bespoke community- oriented services over the year (through The Cornerstone Hub, our charity organization).
-
Through the year, we maintained/built our relationship/partnership with Fare share Ltd, Food Drop Ltd and Neighborly, 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 and the spike in the cost of living, this service to humanity unarguably was and remains highly relevant to every beneficiary within our sphere of reach.
-
We were 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 6 funded community/half term holiday events across the year, which for our beneficiaries advocated social inclusion, promoted healthy eating and living, promoted education, developed handy skills/craftsmanship, advanced a sense of community and alleviated some of the tension brought about by reason of the pandemic/high costs in the standard of living.
Religious activities:
From the onset, Glory worship church usually holds a couple of highly engaging services 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 on the first weekend in March 2022.
Furthermore, we had inter-city programmes across Sheffield and London around May and June 2022 respectively, hosted a global-oriented impactful seminar in July 2022 (tagged ‘Word Feast’), hosted a worship concert night in October 2022 (welcoming new students and individuals to the city),
5
hosted a global cutting-edge conference in November 2022 (tagged ‘Heaven on earth’), hosted our trademark unique International convergence day (where we specially acknowledge the rich variety of nationalities we consistently attract and positively impact) as well as hosted a community-open Christmas carol service in December 2022, etc., 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 our community, city, nation and world 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 and all-round wellbeing of our entire congregation.
Funding/Donations:
For the year under review, we received external funding of £2,545.40, £2,500, £2,500, £9,710, £2,980 and £3,000 each representing five (6) separate occasions when we hosted our February Eat & Meet event, April Easter holiday event, May Paint & Play event, late July to early August Summer holiday event, October half term event & our winter half term event in December 2022. These funds were as a result of related applications we made to host the said events, spread across the year as highlighted above. We further received £1,000 from The Neighborly in October 2022, an added support to cater for our October 2022 event and related material expenses. To add to the above, we received our claims from gift aids on 2 separate occasions in February & December 2022. Both amounts were £380.75 & £5,065.18 respectively. Other than these, every other event we hosted/project we embarked on (including the capital-intensive project of on-going restructuring in our present rented property alongside maintenance/recurring overhead and administrative costs per time) was solely funded by church members and trustees.
Conclusion:
Broadly speaking and in comparison to year 2021, we had a much more packed year in 2022. In reflection, it is needful to mention that the year under review was unique. It was one that was marked with the continuing effects of the pandemic on everyday human life, global wars, remarkable historic events for our nation and other countries around us, the increased costs around the standards of living and the challenges we surpassed/progress we made as individuals and a church. Conclusively, we are conscious of the truth that when it mattered most, against all odds, we once again took giant strides and made undeniable progress as a Church on a general note for which we are eternally grateful to God. As ever, we are still a force to reckon with, 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 2022
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.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Glory Worship Church
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2022 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.
