## **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**
