THE POTTERS HOUSE CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP TOTTENHAM (A Charitable Incorporated Organization) TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

The Trustees present their report along with the financial statements of the charity for the period 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on pages 4 to 12 and comply with the Charity's Constitution and applicable law.

Structure, Governance and Management

The Church registered as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation and its objects are to promote the Christian faith. For the furtherance of this aim regular activities are carried out and invitations given out to the public.

This CIO was created to replace The Potters House Christian Centre Tottenham, an unincorporated charitable trust with charity number 1075031 registered in 1999 (the “old charity”). In the previous year’s Financial Statements (which covered the period 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024) the old charity and CIO operated concurrently as assets and operations were gradually transition. These financial statements and annual report cover the first reporting period in which the CIO has been the only operational charity, and during this period the old charity was closed and de-registered with the Charity Commission.

Appointment of the trustees is governed by the Constitution of the Charity. The current board of trustees constitutes four members. Details of the trustees who have served during the period are given on page 1. The Finance is raised from the congregation's contributions and Gift Aid.

The board of trustees is authorised to appoint new trustees to fill vacancies through resignation or death of an existing trustee until the following AGM, whereupon congregational members will be invited to confirm the new trustee by vote. Other than the Church’s pastor, trustees are appointed to two-year terms, and may serve for a maximum of six consecutive years. The trustees retain the collective responsibility for major financial decisions and investments and board meetings are held monthly.

TRUSTEES' REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 Continued

The Trustees (who are also the directors of the CIO for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period. Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the CIO and of its incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure, for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the CIO's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the CIO and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the CIO and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Approved by order of the members of the Board of Trustees and signed on its behalf by:

THE POTTERS HOUSE CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP TOTTENHAM INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Independent Examiner's Report to the trustees of The Potters House Christian Fellowship UK Tottenham Church ('the CIO')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the period ended 31 December 2024.

Responsibilities and Basis of Report

As the Trustees of the CIO (and its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act'). Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the CIO are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the CIO's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent Examiner's Statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the CIO as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. This report is made solely to the CIO's trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the CIO's trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the CIO and the CIO's trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.
