In this report, the trustees have adopted the Charity Commission template for the preparation of annual reports for small charities (SORP FRS 102). ## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** ## **Objectives** The purpose of the Charity is to advance the Christian faith for the public benefit in the UK. The strategy to achieve this objective is mainly, but not exclusively, through: - i. providing a place of worship - ii. providing pastoral care and outreach - iii. providing religious education - iv. raising awareness and understanding of religious beliefs and practices. - v. Carrying out religious devotional acts - vi. Carrying out missionary and outreach work. - 3 - ## **ASSEMBLIES OF PENTECOSTAL METHODISTS** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES** ## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 10TH OCTOBER 2021** ## **Summary of Main Activities** The Charity is organised into branches based on geographical areas in England which has national reach and draws membership from the branches along the protected characteristics of anyone (or combination) of gender, age, and vocation. For the year under review, the main activity of the charity was severely curtailed by CIVID-19 as this happened just as we were setting up the Charity. ## **Public benefit** The trustees of Assemblies of Pentecostal Methodists confirm that they have had due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit at all relevant times. ## **ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE** Like much of society and the voluntary sector in particular, the Charity's normal ways of conducting its activities were severely curtailed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Charity was not able to switch rapidly from in person services to virtual services utilising the digital platforms. This was against a backdrop of most of our members having a first-time experience at this and, therefore, the situation presented early challenges to adapt to. - 4 - ## **ASSEMBLIES OF PENTECOSTAL METHODISTS** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 10TH OCTOBER 2021** ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** The Charity grew out of a fellowship that had existed in the preceding years as members moved from Zimbabwe to settle in United Kingdom but could not find their preferred denomination. But, due to the pandemic challenge, no funds have been raised yet. ## **Income** The inaugural annual income for the Charity stood at £0.00. This is reflective of the lockdown operating environment which limited activities that would have raised money. ## **Expenditure** Total expenditure for the year was £0.00. ## **Reserves** There are no reserves for the year under review. - 5 - ## **ASSEMBLIES OF PENTECOSTAL METHODISTS** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 10TH OCTOBER 2021** ## **Going concern** We are of the opinion that the financial statements should continue to be prepared on the basis that the charity is a going concern for the next 12 months. We have taken into consideration the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the general operations of the charity. ## **REFERENCE AND ADMINISTRATIVE DETAILS** ## **TRUSTEES** ## **CONTACT ADDRESS** **CHARITY NUMBER** Trust Chibi Rev Tapera Chivaviro Memory Chimbetete Juliet Chivaviro 10 Brunswick Close Great Sankey Warrington WA5 3SZ 1178273 ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER** N/a - 6 - ## **ASSEMBLIES OF PENTECOSTAL METHODISTS** ## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 10TH OCTOBER 2021** ## **FUNDS HELD AS CUSTODIAN TRUSTEES ON BEHALF OF OTHERS** Nil ## **EXEMPTIONS FROM DISCLOSURE** None ## **DECLARATIONS** The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above.
