INTER CITY OUTREACH AND REVIVAL MINISTRY CHARITY REPORT

December 2024 for the The trustees are pleased to present their first report for the year ending 31[st] charity, INTER CITY OUTREACH AND REVIVAL MINISTRY with charity number 1200005.

The Trustees of the charity are:

Mrs Sylvia Armah-Godwin
Rev. Johnnie Oquaye
Ms Veronica Ndombele

The principal address of the charity is: 1 Sabina Close, Fairfields, Milton Keynes, MK114DJ

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

The governing document of the charity is a (CIO) – Foundation Constitution, registered on 9th August 2022. The charity is overseen by a board that includes the trustees, who convene regularly to review and plan activities as well as to monitor the organization's financial position.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

The primary objective of the organization is to advance the Christian faith in alignment with the statement of beliefs, benefiting the community in the United Kingdom as deemed appropriate by the trustees. The trustees affirm that they have considered the guidance provided by the Charity Commission regarding public benefit before determining the activities that the charity will pursue.

ACHIEVMENTS AND PERFORMANCE

The Organization continues to hold successful meetings through the year in which individuals were equipped and educated on the principles and doctrines of the Christian faith. The organization held outreach meetings during the year in which individuals had the opportunity to hear the message of the Christian faith. This has produced good results in reaching and helping members of the community.

The organization has consistently conducted successful meetings throughout the year, equipping individuals with knowledge of the principles and doctrines of the Christian faith. The organization held several online (e.g. Zoom) meetings with the aim of reaching out to people who desire to engage with others and cannot afford to travel to a physical church location. It also organized outreach and evangelisms to provide local community members with the opportunity to engage with the Christian message. These initiatives have yielded positive results in reaching and assisting members of several communities and cities.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

The income of the charity is £4,494. Given that this is our first year and we engage in more online activities than in-person ones we believe it is a good foundation for future work. The income and expenditure of the charity has been well managed over this period. The ministry is still in a good position to manage its costs. The main expenses of the ministry over this period were paying for the hire of the halls, refreshment for meeting attendees, travel expenses for volunteers in the different cities we ministered. The organization has no loans to pay off.

RESERVE POLICY

It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds at approximately three months' worth of unrestricted expenditure. This reserve is intended to ensure adequate resources are available to address any emergency expenditure that may arise. The charity shall strive to uphold this reserve level throughout the year, unless circumstances necessitate a revision of this policy.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The charity has conducted a comprehensive assessment of all the significant risks to which it is exposed, particularly in relation to its operational and financial activities. The charity is satisfied that appropriate systems and controls are in place to effectively mitigate exposure to these major risks.

TRUSTEE RESPONSIBILITIES

Under the Charities Act 2011, the trustees are required to prepare a statement of accounts for each accounting year which gives a true and fair view of the state of the Ministry. They are required to:

Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
State whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed.
Prepare financial statements on an ongoing basis.

They are responsible for maintaining accurate records that reasonably always disclose the financial position of the Ministry, ensuring compliance with the Charities Act 2011. Additionally, they have a duty to safeguard the Ministry's assets and to implement reasonable measures to detect fraud and other irregularities.
