DIRECTORS’ REPORT
The Directors are pleased to present their Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 of March 2025.
The Celestial Church of Christ of Brockley Parish is a registered charity with the overall mission of spreading the Christian faith, alleviating poverty, and reaching out to those who are marginalised in the society at large.
We started the year with a spirit-filled service with the motive of continuous soulwinning for the Kingdom of Christ.
The Church’s activities reviewed for the year are classified into standard, special and inter parish.
The standard activities are regularly held weekly, monthly and annually and are part of the Church calendar worldwide and are observed by all parishes including Amazing Grace Parish.
The special activities are home grown activities that are designed to meet the needs of the members of the parish including the parish cantata, the summer feast, with a special grand command music performance that includes special artists from Europe and Africa.
The inter Parish activities are related activities and special programmes of sister parishes and other denominations from which the parish regularly gets invited to participate or as a guest. They include revival programmes and seminars.

DIRECTORS’ RESPOSIBILITIES
Company and charity law requires the Directors who are also the charity trustees, to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of the affairs of the company and of the results of the company at that period.
In preparing those financial statements, the directors are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently, make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements,
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the company will not continue on that basis.
The directors are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable it to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011.
They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps and detect fraud and other irregularities.
