• The preparation of baptism and counselling has also increased, as new visitors wishing to have a greater understanding before committing to the membership of the church.

• A new convert class has started due to our recent baptisms for new members; requiring a slower pace than the main Sunday school provision.

• Pastoral Care increased to a higher level in growth with the teaching, mentoring members, new and existing officers in their position. The teaching has proven to be a valuable tool in the church.

• The church serves its members and the community by performing the expected religious services such as, Weddings, baby blessings, funeral etc. The local community has priority in hiring the hall for their celebrations such as birthdays, anniversaries and functions.

• Due to the economic climate our program for charitable donations, hardship, foodbank donations, clothing and home help, has been used much more often this financial year. We have donated from our hardship funds £1,000 towards a non-member’s child’s operation to remove a tumor from her eye. We have also donated, food shopping and money from our hardship fund to several in need.

• The charity offers emotional support for mental health, an understanding heart and a listening ear in all areas of our members life, and to the community at large.

• The charity has done various works in the church. E.g. partial replacing the outdated lighting system and some of the heating system.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of

Bethel Oasis of Jesus Christ

For the year ended 31 March 2024

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees (who are also the directors for the purposes of company law) 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 required. The charity's gross income exceeded £25,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of FCCA.

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, 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 the independent examiner's report

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 386 and 387 of the Companies Act 2006; and

• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of Sections 394 and 395 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities 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.
