Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 October 2024
The United Family International Church (UK), also known as UFIC (UK) was incorporated on 19th April 2023 as a Foundation-model Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). It is a United Kingdom-based church founded by Emmanuel and Ruth Makandiwa, to serve congregants within the UK, who are part of the worldwide United Family International Church community. Our vision is to build a God Society of all people, of all nations and our values include selflessness, charity, teamwork, integrity, commitment and transparency. This report gives an overview of the church’s activities during the reporting period from the 1st November 2023 to 31st October 2024, including its achievements and plans for the future. In preparing this annual report and financial statement, the Trustees have been guided by the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (FRS 102 Charities SORP) on "Accounting and Reporting by Charities", effective from the 1st of January 2019.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The objects of the CIO are to advance the Christian religion in the United Kingdom according to the tenets of the United Family International Church for the benefit of the public through the holding of prayer meetings and conferences in addition to producing and/or distributing literature to enlighten others about the religion. The activities of the church are planned and executed in line with the provisions of the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit. In particular, we have programmes for young people in Children’s Church (these are in 3 age groups, 3 - 6, 7 - 10 and 11 - 15 years), the youth (under 30) women (known as Victorious Ladies) and families.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
The United Family International Church (UK) currently has assemblies in the following locations; Derby, Nottingham, Milton Keynes, Edinburgh (Scotland), Trowbridge. We also have Cell groups in Leeds, Manchester, Norwich, Northampton and Gloucester and an affiliate in Drogheda in the Republic of Ireland.
During the reporting period, the UFIC (UK) church held a number of events as shown below;
-
Youth Camp meeting in Chinhoyi, Zimbabwe - end of April 2024. We sent a delegation of 6 youth to the camp meeting.
-
Special Weekend Service - a church service, which took place over 3 days (26 - 28th July 2024) and involved an international guest speaker. We had about 1000 congregants in attendance including children.
-
Ladies Camp meeting in Chinhoyi, Zimbabwe - held in September of 2023. This was highly subscribed and we managed to send 38 women to the said conference.
We also held "Special Sunday Services", which are national events which take place quarterly. At these events, Assemblies gather in one location for a church service, giving the opportunity for those who live far away from established Assemblies to connect with the church. UFIC (UK) ladies who form a community known as "Victorious Ladies" also host an online "Morning Glory" prayer call every Saturday morning, which includes ladies from across the UK.
Our church has a number of midweek events taking place online across the assemblies namely; Derby Assembly - Bible study sessions every Wednesday from 19:30 to 20:30hrs Nottingham Assembly - Online service every Tuesday from 18:30 to 19:30hrs Milton Keynes Assembly - Online intersession service every Friday from 19:00 to 20:00hrs National Youth Assembly - Online youth pavilion once every 2 weeks on Tuesdays from 21:00 to 22:00hrs.
Our youth conducted a number of training seminars during the reporting period. These were aimed at equipping the youth with life skills including financial management, business development and entrepreneurship. The youth also benefited from career guidance during "Life Skills Classes", which formed part of the youth programme. Our sponsoring of the TV programme entitled "Life Central with Emmanuel Makandiwa" is continuing on a renewable annual contract. This is beamed every Monday evening from 7:30pm to 8pm on Faith World TV (SKY Channel 588), which is one of the UK’s Christian Sky channels.The aim of the programme is to reach a global audience in keeping with our mission of building a God people of all nations. All activities are designed to meet the objects of our Foundation Constitution and in compliances with the information contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 October 2024
The aim of the programme is to reach a global audience in keeping with our mission of building a God people of all nations.

FINANCIAL REVIEW
Principal funding sources
The Church's principal source of income was donations from congregants and also online followers of the Ministry from within and without the United Kingdom. Total income for the accounting period was £694,337 and total expenditure was £362,456, leaving a surplus of £331,881.
We have a total of £17,854 in restricted funds which are not available for use as general-purpose funds.
We also have £366,840 in designated funds, which we have set aside for the purchase of a building. We estimate that the church should be able to save enough money to pay a deposit and associated costs for the purchase of a building within a year or two.
Investment policy
According to the Foundation Constitution, the trustees have power to deposit or invest funds, employ a professional fund-manager, arrange for the investments or other property of the Church to be held in the name of a nominee, subject to the provisions of the Trustee Act 2000. Having considered the most appropriate policy for investing funds, the trustees have decided that funds invested in bank accounts currently meet the church's investment requirements.
Reserves policy
The reserves policy of the church follows the Charity Commission's guidelines, in particular;
-
To underpin the running of the church with six month's running costs
-
Within the six months running costs identify those costs that will enable the church to meet its obligations to fixed costs, in particular rentals, contractual obligations relating to purchase of air time on the SKY channel Faith World TV and other direct debits. Presently the church has no staff costs as it does not have employees.
As of 31st October 2024, six months' running costs of the Charity as described above are approximately £100,683. Unrestricted reserve levels are reviewed annually and monitored throughout the year.
Principle risks and uncertainties
The trustees have a risk management strategy that comprises:
-
Regular review of the risks the Church may face from time to time
-
The establishment of systems and procedures that are designed to mitigate against identified risks
-
The implementation of procedures designed to minimise any potential impact on the Charity should those risks materialise.
The principal risk and uncertainties facing the church include fluctuations in financial inflows and increased overheads. Trustees have a responsibility to make sure that all expenditure is cost effective, especially where large payments are involved. The largest proportion of payments go towards funding of national events, with the most significant one being the Special Weekend Service, which took place at the end of July in 2024. It was an international church conference where one of the founders one of the Ministry came to visit. Whilst the cost of hosting the event was significantly higher compared to that of other national events, its impact was huge as witnessed by the surge in attendance figures and increase in revenue inflows. Trustees believe that the church’s marketing strategy using TV programmes, coupled with holding of "Special Sunday Services" has been highly successful. This has resulted in the growth of the church from a small to a large charity according to the charities SORP regulations.

PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS
There are many opportunities for growth. UFIC (UK) will be embarking on the following programmes and projects as part of the growth strategy moving forward;
-
Focusing on empowering the young people in the church with practical skills, so that their experience of the ministry is holistic. There are also plans to host music events such as worship nights and to have a more vibrant and active youth-calendar.
-
Growing the praise & worship team and recording live music to post on social media.
-
Building on the momentum created by the Special Weekend Service and making it an annual event.
-
- Developing the social media platforms with content filmed by the youth (i.e. interviews, conversations, summaries of services, creative content such as poems and music).
With regards to prospects for growth, UFIC (UK)’s best foot forward is the youth constituency. The growth strategy for the short to medium term periods, revolves around the youth development programme, and on empowering young people in the church to build the tools they need to win souls and encourage their peers to come to church. The energy exhibited by the youth is exciting and their mind-set is positive. Given the right resources and support, they have the capacity to help develop the church into a more multiracial and multi-cultural church as envisioned in the objects of the charity.

Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

Independent examiner's statement
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
Tangible fixed assets

We have disclosed to you all known instances of non-compliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations whose effects should be considered when preparing the financial statements.
Related parties
Related party relationships and transactions have been appropriately accounted for and disclosed in the financial statements. We have disclosed to you all relevant information concerning such relationships and transactions and are not aware of any other matters which require disclosure in order to comply with legislative and accounting standards requirements.
Subsequent events
All events subsequent to the date of the financial statements which require adjustment or disclosure have been properly accounted for and disclosed.
Going concern
We believe that the charity's financial statements should be prepared on a going concern basis on the grounds that current and future sources of funding or support will be more than adequate for the charity's needs. We have considered a period of twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements. We believe that no further disclosures relating to the charity's ability to continue as a going concern need to be made in the financial statements.
Grants and donations
All grants, donations and other income, the receipt of which is subject to specific terms or conditions, have been notified to you. There have been no breaches of terms or conditions in the application of such income.
Yours faithfully
