Structure, Governance and Management

Governing document

Constitution dated 16 August 2019

Constitution of trustee and selection methods

The charity is constituted as a CIO and the trustees are appointed by the existing trustees.

Objectives, activities and public benefit

The objectives of the charity are:

Reserves policy

Due to the charity being a small organisation and its future expenses being fairly predictable in nature the trustees have decided not to have a minimum reserve. During the period under review the charity has been able to cope successfully without a minimum level of reserve.

Financial review

Total income received by the charity amounted to £18,607 including general voluntary income amounting to £15,445. Total expenditure by the charity amounted to £24,747 of which £24,390 relates to running costs. The remainder of the costs relate to governance costs.

Voluntary help

The Charity continues to receive significant input from volunteers who give freely their time and often incur expenditure on behalf of the Charity without seeking reimbursement. The trustees also appreciate the professional advice, community development assistance, and management consultancy provided by the appropriate individuals and organisation.

Trustee's Report (continued) For the period ended 31 March 2023

Statement of trustees' responsibilities

In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Approval

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of POTTERS HOUSE CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP UK WELLINGBOROUGH CHURCH For the period ended 31 March 2023

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of POTTERS HOUSE CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP UK WELLINGBOROUGH CHURCH (‘the charity’) for the period ended 31 March 2022 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and related notes.

This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in this 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 charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for my work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

An independent examination does not involve gathering all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently does not cover all the matters that an auditor considers in giving their opinion on the financial statements. The planning and conduct of an audit goes beyond the limited assurance that an independent examination can provide. Consequently I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements present a ‘true and fair’ view and my report is limited to those specific matters set out in the independent examiner’s statement.

Independent examiner's statement

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

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or

2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or

3. the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.

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 financial statements to be reached.

Notes to the accounts

For the period ended 31 March 2023

1 ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1.1 Basis of preparation of accounts

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in the notes to the accounts and comply with the charity's governing document and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice for Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland published on 16 July 2014.

1.2 Fund accounting

Income and expenditure is allocated between funds in the Statement of Financial Activities Income and Expenditure Account as follows:

Unrestricted funds where the donor has made no stipulation in the way the income is spent and where the charity may use the funds in any way it sees fit in order to pursue its charitable objectives Designated funds where unrestricted funds have been earmarked by the Board for a particular charitable purpose.

1.3 Tangible fixed assets for use by the charity and depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative depreciation and any accumulative impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows:

Fixtures, fittings and equipment 20% per annum on a reducing balance basis

1.4 Incoming resources

Voluntary income and donations are accounted for as received by the charity except for any grants received for specific purposes that have not been spent.

1.5 Resources expended

Resources expended are included in the Statement of Financial Activities on an accruals basis, inclusive of any VAT which cannot be recovered.

Expenditure which is directly attributable to specific activities has been included in these cost categories. Where costs attributable to more than one activity, they have been apportioned across the cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of these resources.

1.6 Voluntary work and services received

The charity benefits from the many voluntary hours and unclaimed out of pocket expenses contributed by a large number of volunteers and trustees. In addition other contributions in kind such as food stuffs and materials are received by the charity. It would be difficult to place a value on all these gifts in kind, without which the charity would need to expend additional resources.

1.8 Debtors and creditors due within one year

These are measured at transaction price which is usually the invoice amount.

1.9 Going concern

The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis which does not take into account adjustments that would be appropriate were this not to be so. The trustees consider that the Charity is a going concern.
