Trustees' Report for the Year Ended 30 September 2022

The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

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, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) published in October 2019.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES Objectives and aims

The purposes of the Church are:

The advancement of the Christian faith in accordance with the Basis of Faith, primarily, but not exclusively, within Leicester and the surrounding neighbourhood; and such other charitable purposes as shall, in the opinion of the charity trustees, put into practice the Christian faith in accordance with the Basis of Faith, including but not limited to: the prevention and relief of need, hardship and sickness; the advancement of education; and the provision of facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation or other leisure time occupation of individuals who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age infirmity or disability, financial hardship or social circumstances with the object of improving their conditions of life;

Provided that the advancement of such purposes must be undertaken in a manner that is consistent with the Doctrinal Distinctive and Ethical Statements as may be adopted and amended by the Church from time to time.

We are a multi-cultural church in the city of Leicester aiming to serve our community to the best of our ability. As we are just starting, our programmes to be implemented will include various age groups from new born babies to the elderly. More activities will be implemented as and when we have more volunteers coming in and willing to be part of the church.

Public benefit

The trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission guidance on public benefit.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

We aim to continue with our religious activities and general charitable purposes. After further relaxation of Covid rules during the beginning of 2022 the church started with some face to face outdoor meetings once a month. We officially went back to weekly face to face indoor/church Sunday meetings from 8 May 2022.

Impact of Covid

There has been a slight decline in financial giving of the church due to the impact of Covid however, a slow rising is also beginning to be seen in this matter. The church is regaining its confidence and we will be able to increase our service to our community in due course.

Trustees' Report for the Year Ended 30 September 2022

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial position

The statement of financial activities shows total income for the year of £102,759 and the total expenditure of £68,770 leaving a surplus of £33,989 for the period.

Reserves policy

The trustees are responsible for setting a reserves policy, taking into account the administrative overheads of the charity.

The restricted reserves is for the potential purchase of the current church building which is being leased, the trustees are actively trying to purchase this building as it meets all of their charitable needs.

Maintaining reserves

It is anticipated that once levels of income are established, that a monthly amount will be set aside to maintain the basic level of reserves deemed necessary by the trustees.

At 30 September 2022 the Charity held unrestricted funds amounting to £98,690 and restricted fund of £15,330.

FUTURE PLANS

There are no big events planned except the intention to purchase the current church building which is being leased in which our meetings will be held.

Our main objective is to purchase a building where we will be running our meetings. We would like to run free holiday clubs for 5-11-year-olds during half term holidays throughout the year, once we are able to purchase a building.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity governing constitution was adopted on 9 April 2020 and the charity was incorporated as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) on 30 April 2020.

Trustees' Report for the Year Ended 30 September 2022

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

Apart from the first charity trustees, every trustee must be appointed by a resolution passed at a properly convened meeting of the charity trustees.

In selecting individuals for appointment as charity trustees, the charity trustees must have regard to the skills, knowledge and experience needed for the effective administration of the Church.

Subject to the following paragraphs, every charity trustee shall be an elder of the church governed by this constitution and no-one may be appointed as an elder within the church without also being appointed as a charity trustee. The responsibilities of the elders are the responsibilities that are assigned to elders in the New Testament.

The charity trustees may describe the role and responsibilities of elders in more detail in the Rules.

The charity trustees may use the Rules to specify circumstances in which a person may be appointed as an elder without being a charity trustee or circumstances in which a person may be appointed as a charity trustee without also being an elder.

Whenever it is the case that the charity trustees and elders are not exactly the same group of people, the charity trustees must exercise control and independent decision-making, but may delegate powers to the elders.

Organisational structure

The charity trustees are responsible for the general control and management of the charity.

Risk management

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

Approved by order of the board of trustees on 13[th] January 2023 and signed on its behalf by:

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Redeemed Worship Centre CIO

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Redeemed Worship Centre CIO

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Redeemed Worship Centre CIO (the Trust) for the year ended 30 September 2022.

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.

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 Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  2. the accounts 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 accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 September 2022

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charity, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) 'Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Charities Act 2011. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The financial statements have been prepared to give a 'true and fair' view and have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulation 2008 only to the extent to provide a 'true and fair view'. This departure has involved following the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) issued in October 2019 rather than the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice effective from 1 April 2005, which has since been withdrawn.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Fixtures and fittings - 20% on cost Computer equipment - 33% on cost

Taxation

The charity is exempt from tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charity operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charity's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

Debtors and creditors receivable/payable within one year

Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in expenditure.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand and cash on deposit.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.
