Redeemed Christian Church of God Report of the Trustees

For The Year Ended 31st July, 2025

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st July, 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) ‘Accounting and Reporting by Charities' issued in July 2014.

STRUCTURE GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Description of the charity’s trusts

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006 on 26th April 2011 with a registered charity number 1184816

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

A safe place for Christian worship for all people regardless of age, sex, ethnicity.

At the heart of our mission is the commitment to creating a safe and welcoming place for Christian worship—open to all, regardless of age, gender, or ethnicity. Our goal is to foster community, provide support, and inspire hope through a range of impactful initiatives designed to uplift, empower, and bring people together.

Engaging with Our Senior Citizens

Since 2018, we have dedicated ourselves to caring for the elderly in our community, ensuring they feel valued and cherished—especially during the holiday season. Each year, on Christmas Day (10 AM – 4 PM), we provide a safe and joyful gathering space where over 100 senior citizens come together to socialise, play games, and enjoy festive activities.

Guests are treated to a traditional Christmas dinner and drinks, followed by the cherished tradition of watching the King’s Speech together. Before returning home, each attendee receives a thoughtfully curated goodie bag for tea, spreading warmth and cheer beyond the celebration.

Poverty Relief & Community Befriending

We are deeply committed to alleviating poverty and combating loneliness through our befriending initiatives, which include:

• Elderly Befriending: Bringing companionship and support to isolated senior citizens.

• Refugee Support: Assisting refugees in integrating into the UK by helping them navigate the community, complete essential application forms, and access healthcare, schools, and social services.

• Youth Engagement: Encouraging the children of refugee families to participate in sports and extracurricular activities, fostering a sense of belonging and development.

Empowering the Next Generation

A 12-month intensive training programme designed to equip young people with leadership skills. Participants also gain 70 hours of hands-on work experience in their chosen fields, such as IT, healthcare, and business.

A safe and nurturing space for young people to develop essential life skills, engage in meaningful discussions, and build confidence in their future. All are welcome.

2

Providing Nourishment & Support

• Meal Support for Vulnerable Elderly Adults:

From February to April 2021, we provided weekly home-cooked meals to 13 elderly adults in need, ensuring they received nutritious food and companionship

JDC Children’s Bible Club – “Something for Your Kids”

Since December 2022, our Church has been running an engaging and interactive Bible Club for children aged 6–11during school breaks and holidays. Running from 10 AM to 3 PM, this free programme offers:

Since 19th January 2023, we have also operated a weekly Bible Club every Thursday (5 PM – 6:45 PM). We provide a pick-up and drop-off service using a mini-bus purchased by the Church in January 2023, with 99% of the children utilising this service.

Activities include:

Men’s Ministries

Our Men’s Ministries provide intentional spaces for men to gather, grow, and be encouraged in their faith and personal development. These ministries offer support, prayer, and practical teaching relevant to everyday life through meetups, retreats, and small groups.

Regular Activities:

• Seasonal Events and Conferences: Focused on fostering fellowship, spiritual growth, and leadership among men in the church and wider community.

Scripture Union Holiday Sponsorship

Since 2022, we have been sponsoring local teenagers and families to attend the annual Scripture Union Holiday—a transformative summer experience that provides spiritual renewal and growth. This retreat is designed for both seekers and devoted believers looking to deepen their faith and connect with like-minded individuals.

Strategies for achieving objectives

Evangelism, home visit, meeting with the youth every Friday night, Sunday worship, Tuesday - house fellowship/bible study, Thursday - prayer meeting and bible study with the refugees, children ministry

Risk Management

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Principal Funding Sources

This is provided mainly through voluntary tithes and offerings by the church members and through gift aid scheme. Pledges are also taken for specific projects.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

The church will continue to explore various ways of spreading the gospel of Christ in an effective manner. The charity is also looking to grow in membership and continue to develop its members to make lifechanging impact in society, plant more parishes and due to the increase in the number of members, our future plan is to accommodate those members and likely additional.

Redeemed Christian Church of God

Jesus Disciples Centre

For The Year Ended 31st July, 2025

Independent Examiner's Report

To the Trustees of

Redeemed Christian Church of God

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31st July, 2025 set out on pages four to eight.

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. The charity's gross income does not exceed £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of ACCA.

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 l45(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.
