We had our AGM on the 10st of December 2021 and the accounts been submitted to the members.
The following is the chairman's report for June 2021 to May 2022.
- 1) There were no regular church services every week as usual throughout the year under review due to lockdown caused by COVID - 19.
- 2) From April 2021 the church continued with the services through ZOOM and YouTube.
- 3) In Summer 2021, the church had some days as the lockdown was eased to allow church meetings in physically while observing all the COVID19 rules.
- 4) During the period under review, the church was not able to host the special Youth Meeting physical but through ZOOM.
- 5) We also missed the Passover Conference due to COVID - 19.
- 6) Also we could not organise annual Conference for all individuals in the city of Leeds as planned; this campaign aims to bring restoration to all people in this city. The campaign is directed to touch one’s family, relationship, spirituality and so much more.
- 7) Other activities conducted outside our normal Sunday service during the year are: - Children Sunday class, youth groups, Ladies meeting, Men’s fellowship, prayer groups, we conducted special Sunday services like Mothers and Father’s Day, Children Sunday service, Youth Sunday service, Good Friday service, and a New year crossover service.

## **Financial Review**
**The accounts** have been prepared on a Receipts and Payments basis and in accordance with the applicable Accounting Standards, Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting Reporting by charities (SORP 2005) and applicable accounting standards and the charities Acts 1993.
## **Financial performance:**
Our financial performance was significantly weak compared to the previous year due to COVID – 19 as a result we could not meet our planned goals. The failure for church not meeting in physical led to many members not been able to make their normal donations as in the previous years. Hope these financial challenges will easy out when the COVID – 19 restrictions are lifted, and church members can physically meet which can boost our donations. The grant from the city council and support from church members have been a source of revenue for the year under review.
## **Reserve Policy**
The trustees’ policy is to establish and maintain a reserve that can meet at least 3 months of our normal operating costs. Now, the trustees make sure that any finances that remain are held in the charity account to build up our future reserve according to the charity objectives.
## **Risk Management**
First a special meeting called to discuss any special project. Committee members made aware of any risks involved. Once the Funding secured only then project will be approved.
## **Plans for the Future Period**
The church plans to help and bring many people to Christ and support them out of financial difficulties for example Asylum seekers, destitute, students and older people who finds it difficult to use the public transport to come to Sunday service and other meetings.
## **Declaration**
The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees’ report above on 30th August 2021, and signed on their behalf by:

## **Independent Examiner’s Report**
## **For the Year Ended 31st May 2022**
Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Evangelical Walking Church.
I report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st May 2022, which are set out on pages 9 to 12.
## Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities’ Act 2011 and the Charities Accounts Regulations 2008. The charity’s trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the 2006 Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 449(1) (c) of the 2005 Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Regulations. 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 seeks 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, I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
## 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 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Regulations, and
- To prepare Accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Regulations (as amended)
Have been met
