The tru5teÈs have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reportin8 by Ch31ities-. Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charitie5 preparing their accounts In accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland IFRS 1021. Achlevemenls agalnst obJettS¥e5 sel Thank God for hearin8 our prayers to increase more volunteer speakers for OUT Zoom platfonn to share the Word of God. In 2024 we had three more speakers to alleviate the work of a few. Due to an accident. the elders of our small group Bible study hurt their leBs and we had to stop gatherin8 in our premise. Instead, our trustee would gather at their place and vi51t them more often to assist in their daily needs and pray. With more cont8rt and service in the chur=h, our Irustee also gathered with the church con8re8arttS ID prayer. We did not.have much improvement in our street evangelism and pamphlets distribution. But we pray for a heart of flesh for all unbelievers as God has promised to the lsraelStes in the Book of Ezekiel. May Christianity be revived in UKI FINANCIAL REVIEW Resebve Pollcy The reserves of the Charity are unrestrKted. There was some moderate 8rowth in UK as well a5 some other countries. However, the soarin8 price had offset the income. Our donations received dropped by 16% compared to ihe previous year. The free reserves (total unrestricted reserves excluding fixed assets) of the charity as at 3] December 2024 was GBP23,848. The trustees consider that it should hold 9 months running expenses (excluding provision for depreciation) in reserve which eguates GBP7.660. The 5% reserve on the financial yearfs income for repair and renovatlon of the charlty will still be kept The trustees consider that there are no material incertainties about the chariws ability to continue as a going concern. In forming thi5 opinion. Ihey have considered the provisien of Ix)th it future income and expenditure for a period of at least 12 month5 from the date of approval of these h'nancial statements. Flnanclal Performance The total incoming resources for the year was GBP9,673 made up of indTvidual unrestricted donatioiis.
Expenditure during the year consists of depreciation on the charivs property and costs incurred in the Coulie of its charitable activities as well as day * day running Costs for the premises and the charitVs activities. PTin¢hpal Sources of Funds Our principal funding sources come from indi¥ual donors inside and outsbde the UK. Investment Pdlry No new investment policy has been set up yet as this is not the main purpose of the Charity and the financial condition is not 5Ultable for such move. PYln¢lpal Rlsks Our income continued to decline in 2024 with a drop of 16%. Grateful it was half of the previouslv veaT'5 decline. Near the end of the financial year, we have lowered the number of admissible participants in our Zoom platform %4hlch was still within our range. This saved us 84% of the previous monthly.fee. but the impart would be clearer in the next financial year. 5TRucfuRE.
