– Chairs Report John Lawrie
As in 2022, I am again immensely proud to be providing the introduction to an amazing 2023 report detailing the significant work of Rehoboth for Families Children and Young People.
Our founder Elizabeth Dotun has a heart-felt hunger to help, encourage and build-up flourishing families and to enable the amazing potential every child and young person has. Elizabeth’s passion has been borne out of the challenges she has faced in the past and come through, stronger. A desire to promote positive family living, community inclusion, and tackling the issues that affect children and young people. Rehoboth started in 2014 and Elizabeth continues the great work as the charity’s Operations Director. Rehoboth’s operations team include health specialists, youth workers, administrators, and volunteers. All dedicated to help and bless others.
Rehoboth works closely with a variety of partners; Trafford Partnership, L&Q (formerly Trafford Housing Trust), National Emergencies Trust, LifeChurch Manchester, Caribbean and African Health Network, NHS Blood Transplant, GMCVO, Comic Relief, Black Training and Enterprise Group and the Art Council of England
Despite the past challenges of COVID-19, Rehoboth’s team came through stronger. Rehoboth continued the Active Appetite and Children’s Support Fund, feeding 2,196 ~~of p~~ eople and providing many families with food packages. It has also provided families with school uniforms and shoes and helped many families struggling with increased energy and food costs. Other activities have included: running children’s clubs, organizing mental health awareness and help initiatives, and ran food preparation and cooking projects. It has also helped young men, mainly from AfroCaribbean backgrounds who have been marginalized and experienced racism, to realise the potential they have, encourage, and promote good family values. A future 2023 funded project that will be starting soon is to create new greenspaces and improve existing spaces in Stretford, Manchester that promotes pride in local community living areas.
This year Rehoboth ventured internationally to Zambia helping in a women’s prison ministry and providing funds to help under-privileged families and children in Zambia and Nigeria.
Many of Rehoboth’s initiatives have utilised a Salvation Army building in a Stretford estate in Greater Manchester. We hope to take on the lease for the building, and potential future ownership. We would value your prayerful support in this.
Under Eliz ~~xa~~ beth’s leadership and with the help of our volunteers, Rehoboth has encouraged and helped many families and children who otherwise may have been forgotten and overlooked. The trustees and I are privileged to be involved and are truly grateful to Rehoboth’s supporters, partners, volunteers and operations team who make a positive difference in the local, and international communities. Thank you and God bless you.

## **Independent examiner's report on the accounts**
## **Section A Independent Examiner’s Report**
**Report to the trustees/** REHOBOTH FOR FAMILIES, CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE **On accounts for the 30 September 2022 Charity no (if any) 1190359 year ended Set out on pages** 1 to 4
**Report to the trustees/ members of**
**Respective** The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The **responsibilities of** charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under **trustees and examiner** section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
- **Basis of independent** My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by **examiner’s statement** 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 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 requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities 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.
