purposes of the charity
as set out in its
governing document|The purposes of the Church are: the advancement of the
Christian faith in accordance with the Basis of Faith, primarily,
but not exclusively, within Redbridge, London 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 Distinctives and
Ethical Statements as may be adopted and amended by the
Church from time to time.| |Summary of the main
activities in relation to
those purposes for
the public benefit, in
particular, the
activities, projects or
services identified in
the accounts.|All Nations Church Barkingside & Clayhall was founded in
October 2021 with the express intention of advancing the
Christian faith particularly but not exclusively to the inhabitants of
the areas of Barkingside & Clayhall and the surrounding London
Borough of Redbridge, as well as other charitable purposes
consistent with the primary aim of the charity.
All Nations Church meet every Sunday afternoon at Fullwell
Cross Library, 140 High Street, Barkingside, Ilford, IG6 2EA for a
time of worship, prayer, and teaching with Sunday school for
children aged 3-11 years and a creche.
In the same venue, other meetings and activities were also held
mid-week suited to the purposes in order to engage meaningfully
with the local community. These include: a fortnightly Fun and
Bible Club to engage local primary school aged children;
seminars and training courses to equip the congregation and
advance the Christian faith; a community hub drop in launched in
March 2023 on Wednesday mornings to offer a free space for
people in the community to come, enjoy refreshments, games
and conversations with others to meaningfully engage with the
local community.| Page 2 ||| |---|---| |Statement confirming
whether the trustees
have had regard to the
guidance issued by the
Charity Commission on
public benefit|In pursuing these aims, the trustees sought to comply with and
follow the Charity Commission guidelines on public benefit.| Page 3 ## **Achievements and Performance** ||| |---|---| |Summary of the main
achievements of the
charity, identifying the
difference the charity’s
work has made to the
circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|Over the course of the above period, the church congregation
grew steadily to an average Sunday attendance of about 35-
40 adults and 15 children with regular guests and visitors.
A number of mid-week ministries were established for
beneficiaries. These include: 2 home groups in the local
area; the launch of a Women’s Day time bible study group in
summer 2023; youth nights; a fortnightly Fun and Bible Club
to engage local primary school aged children; seminars and
training courses to equip the congregation and advance the
Christian faith.
A joint Holiday Bible Club in collaboration with some other
local churches was run in February 2023 for primary school
aged children and enabled us to connect and serve a number
of new families in the local area.
Our bookkeeper was officially elected as Treasurer and
trustee in November 2022 to oversee our finance as a
church.
The £10k grant from the FIEC Centenary Mission Fund has
enabled us to start and build new cross-cultural ministry
initiatives: These include: a community hub drop called the
“All Nations Hot Spot”, launched in March 2023 weekly on
Wednesday mornings to offer a free space for people in the
community to come, enjoy refreshments, games and
conversations with others in order to meaningfully engage
with the local community and for public benefit; the launch of
a weekly Children’s Club on Wednesday afternoons in a
nearby Refugee Hotel in Seven Kings; the opportunity to
have stalls in Christmas and the summer at a local school in
Clayhall; the opportunity to host a fortnightly book table.
Our 2 junior members of staff (self-funded, in partnership with
Reach Global and Co-Mission) enabled us to: re-brand and
launch a brand-new website and social media to develop our
media, marketing and communications and grow our digital
presence as a church; to launch and implement Church
Suite, a new rota organisational programme to allow for
growth; to engage meaningfully with members of the local
community.
We recruited and appointed 2 new cross-cultural ministry
trainees to join our staff team for 1 Sept 2023 to enable us to
continue to grow and implement new initiatives in the local
area. We became officially affiliated with the Fellowship of
Independent Evangelical Churches (FIEC) in the summer of
2023.| Page 4 ## **Financial Review** |**inancial Review**|| |---|---| ||| |Review of the charity’s
financial position at the end of
the period|The majority of income during the year has come through
generous donations and gifts from members of the church
congregation. This has been supplemented by gifts from
external churches and individual supporters as well as a
successful grant application and a legacy donation.
This resulted in a total income for the year that was
significantly above that budgeted.
As a result, the church was able to put on additional events
and activities to those originally budgeted for.
Income exceeded expenditure for the year, and this will lead
to further expansion of the church’s activities in the next year.| |Statement explaining the
policy for holding reserves
stating why they are held|Reserves are held in line with Charity Commission guidance
so that the Charity is able to meet any expenditure
commitments to which it has committed and ensure that staff
contracts and housing arrangements are not immediately
terminated.
It was agreed that a minimum of £21,800 would be held in
readily accessible cash accounts to cover 4 months of salary,
rental costs that included church house and council tax and
venue hire.| |Amount of reserves held|The cash held by the charity at the year end was £59,500, of
which £57,300 was unrestricted. The charity is complying
with its reserves policy.| |Explanation of any
uncertainties about the
charity continuing as a going
concern|There are no material uncertainties about the Charity’s ability
to continue as a going concern.| |The charity’s principal
sources of funds (including
any fundraising)|Principal sources of funding are from external supporting
churches, external supporters, external grant from an
organisation and internal congregational giving.| |A description of the principal
risks facing the charity|External giving dropping / internal giving dropping due to the
current economic climate.| Page 5 ## **Structure, Governance and Management** ||| |---|---| |Type of governing document|A Church Constitution and a Church Handbook that were

Page 7 ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT** ## **TO THE TRUSTEES OF** ## **ALL NATIONS CHURCH BARKINGSIDE AND CLAYHALL** I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of All Nations Church Barkingside and Clayhall ('the charity') for the period ended 31 August 2023 on pages 9 to 12 following. ## **Responsibilities and basis of report** As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 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 accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with the accounting records. I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. ## Jaimée Young Jaimée Young (Jun 3, 2024 09:49 GMT+1) Jaimée Young Stewardship 1 Lamb's Passage LONDON EC1Y 8AB > Date: Jun 3, 2024 Page 8 ## **ALL NATIONS CHURCH BARKINGSIDE AND CLAYHALL** ## **RECEIPTS AND PAYMENTS ACCOUNT** ## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2023** |Notes

The Holiday Bible Club fund was supported by gifts and contributions from local churches within the northeast London passion for life mission group, for the joint running of a Holiday Bible Club during February half-term. The cross-cultural ministry trainee fund was created for the purpose of employing trainee staff members, inclusive of salaries and study fees. The deficit balance relates to funds paid out in expectation of a grant which was subsequently received after the year end. Page 12
