We are also a member of the Evangelical Alliance.
The church is still involved in the local community in Bromley with regular charity events that are free admission to the public. We have four” baby Churches” planted out of the Bromley Congregation. They are based in Crawley, Chatham, Canterbury and Ashford. Financially the church generates its income from donations from within the church and a small percentage comes in through the Gift Aid Tax Recovery and donations from our baby churches.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS**
## **To the Trustees of**
# **Potters House Christian Fellowship UK Bromley**
## **For the Year Ended 31 March 2021**
## **Charity number 1182550**
## **Set out on Pages 5 to 7**
## **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 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- Examine the accounts under section 43 of the 1993 Act;
- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act); and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner’s statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 the 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 statement 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 trustees have not met the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
