The Charity governing document is a CIO registered on 20 July 2021. The Charity is governed by a board on which the trustees are represented. It meets regularly to review, plan activities, and monitor the financial position.
Objectives and Activities
The objective of the charity is to meet spiritual and physical need of its congregation and a wider community. The charity’s main purpose is transforming the community through holistic ministry. We worship God, having a fellowship with each other and committed to serve the community. Our focus is on lonely and disadvantaged group in the community. We give advice and building trust with our church members and the community at large. We also provide our services for migrants and homeless people.
Achievements and Performance
The organisation continues to hold Christian worship services in the community. Due to lack of suitable gathering hall this services was highly affected until we found a hall in December 2023. We will work hard to

bring the activity level to the pre Covid19 standard and will try to achieve even higher. We believe that our service has produced good results in reaching and helping members of the community. Our weekly meeting was through zoom meetings due to lack of suitable hall.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The income of the charity is less than £ 10000.00. The charity income and costs have been managed well over the financial year. The charity’s main costs are travel, charitable activities and subsidies for pastoral activities.

The charity has assessed all the major risks to which the charities is exposed to, those related to operations and finances and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to major risks.
