The trustees, who are also directors of the company and served during the year and up to this report, are Moyosola Abikoye, Adebayo Abimbola, Adekunbi Oludayo Lawal-Champion, and Adejoke Olubodun-Niyi. **Structure, governance, and management** ## _**Structure**_ **LIVING JOY LTD** is a charity registered with the Charity Commission in England and Wales, registration number 1198163. ## _**Governance**_ Its memorandum and articles of association govern the charity. ## _**Management**_ The trustees, the chairperson leads, are responsible for day-to-day management and administration. The selection of trustees is based on a suggestion, their qualifications, availability for meetings, and areas of expertise, but most importantly, their commitment to achieving the charity's primary goals. The trustees meet regularly in formal and informal settings to discuss any legislative, management, procedural, and ethical concerns that need to be resolved and the best ways to do so within the legal framework. All charity operations, trustee decisions, and day-to-day management are considered to comply with all legal obligations. ## **Objectives and activities** The Charity aims to relieve poverty, promote good health, and develop the community. ## **Achievements and performance** ## _**Impact On the Community**_ The Charity organisation is still actively involved in enhancing the lives of children during this time and increasing gospel evangelism. The charity engaged in the community development programme and considered the diversity of its community in all aspects of its activities. It seeks to sway opinion and raise awareness of its presence and, more crucially, its primary goal of helping the community. In the upcoming year, we hope the conditions will be favourable for the charity to accomplish its primary goals of enhancing community life to the best of its abilities, relieving poverty, and providing financial empowerment to the needy. ## _**Work In the Community**_ During the year, the charity continues to reach out to the needy, especially the destitute within and outside the community, by providing assistance to them at times of need, especially those who are the victims of hunger, disease, poverty, and orphans by supplying them with food, shelter, medical aid, and other fundamental needs. ## **Financial review** The trustees considered the charity’s financial position adequate to the best of their knowledge. The principal funding sources have been voluntary donations and offerings from its members. As indicated on page 5 of the financial statements, income and expenditures in the year were better than last year. **Page 4** ## **LIVING JOY LTD** ## **(A Company Limited by Guarantee)** ## **Report of the trustees (incorporating the directors’ report) for the year ended 31 December 2024 (continues).** ## **Plans for future periods** The charity aims to broaden its achievements during the following year’s financial period through more voluntary activities, including outreaches, organising more youth programmes, sponsoring members, especially the youth, on courses that will enhance their knowledge, and elevating poverty among children and families. ## **Statement of trustees’ responsibilities** The trustees are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and the United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which gives a true and fair view of the charity's state of affairs and the surplus or deficit of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees have taken into consideration the following: - suitable accounting policies and then applied them consistently. - made judgments and estimates that were reasonable and prudent; and - prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis and having no knowledge that the charity would not continue in operation in the following year. ## **Small company provisions** This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions for small companies under Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

As you have considered that the accounts do not require an audit in accordance with Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006, my role is not that of an Auditor but an Independent Examiner. However, it is my responsibility to the state, on the basis of procedures and guidance specified in The Commission’s Directions and Guidance given by the Charity Commissioners of the Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention that were of concern to the Commission, the members, and the public in general. ## **Basis of Opinion** I have completed my examination in accordance with The Commission’s Directions and Guidance given by the Charity Commissioner. 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 involves reviewing the accounts, considering any unusual items and/ or disclosures provided in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence required in an audit, and consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the view the accounts give. ## **Opinion** In connection with my examination, no matter of material significance has come to my attention during the independent examination: - (1) Which might have given rise to a legal duty to report to the Charity Commission: - (2) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material in respect of the requirements - a) To keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act 2011 and - b) To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirement of the Act has been met. Or - c) in connection with the examination, which gives reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect: - d) accounting records for non-company charities have not been kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act 2011 - (3) That the report provided relates to an independent examination carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and that the examination has been conducted in accordance with the Directions given by the Commission - (4) And that no matters of concern have come to my attention as a result of the independent examination in connection with the examination to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in the report to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. **Olufemi Yinusa (BSc, MSc, MBA, CA BFP, AFA MPA, FCA, FCIT) Date: 22/01/2025 GOLDEN GREEN ACCOUNTANTS & CO LIMITED 117 Island Business Centre 18-36 Wellington Street Woolwich London, SE18 6PF**
