Section D Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year

At Antioch prayer house, our achievements and performances are rooted in prayer and faithful commitment of our church members. The past year has seen the local church continue serving faithfully in the face of considerable challenge. Worsening economic pressure, rising living cost, conflict and natural disaster have added additional hardship and forced our church members into being adaptive and highly responsive in immediate need while also looking forward to long term solutions.

Regardless, the Church was able to open all Sunday’s for weekly services and all Tuesday’s for prayer meetings throughout the year. The church was able to impact more than a 100 people either through in person attendance or online services. The church members have been extremely faithful throughout the years through their participation, prayers or donations.

During the financial year, we were able to donate the natural disaster impacted areas like Tista flood donation. We were also able to donate gifts to individual who were in full time service to God and various ministries in the UK for a Youth convocation and a Holy convocation.

The Church was able to provide a two-day ministry service in Belgium. The church had a very engaging one day church outing during the year where almost all the church members participated. The church was able to provide support either in prayers or fellowship to all the needing individuals throughout the year.

Section E Financial review

Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves

The trustees aim to keep a reasonable working reserve. Currently, we have a venue hiring agreement with Holy Trinity Church Hounslow and we pay monthly rent for the use of church.

We held back significant funds in order to save for the initial deposit to purchase a church property in the near future. The amount of reserves held as of 30 April 2024 is £231,399.00

Details of any funds materially in deficit

Further financial review details (Optional information)

Our funds mainly come from tithes and offerings from church members residing in the UK in the form of cash or bank transfers through regular giving on every Sunday or one-off donations. There is a record ledger for those who consent for HMRC gift aid claims. People also donate anonymously through offerings on Sunday Church services. The church opens all Sunday throughout the year. The church is recognised for HMRC gift aid and was able to claim £11,336.00 during the year. The church did not conduct any fundraising activities during the year.

We were able to add substantial revenue via church member’s gift aiding their donations. We intend to continue to increase our donors with a gift aid declaration in coming years.

During the financial year 2024, the major expenditure seems to be rent which is proving to be more challenging in coming years as we struggle to find our own church property. The church was able to carry out significant charitable and church activities compared to last year.
