LA MISSION LIBERATRICE DE JESUS CHRIST
Annual Report for 1 April 2024 – 31 March 2025
The Trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ending 31 March 2025
Charitable object
The Charity (Church) is governed by a Constitution which states that the principal purpose of the Church is the advancement of the Christian faith in Lambeth and surrounding areas and such other parts of the United Kingdom as the charity trustees may from time to time decide.
During the year 2024-2025, the church hired premises at High Trees Scout Hut, Tulse Hill, SW2 3PU, but was looking for an alternative venue. The Church started using the premises of City Heights Academy, 33 Abbots Park, London, SW2 3PW in April 2025 and duly changed its registered address.
Organisational Structure and Decision-making processes
Under the Constitution, the Church is led by its Trustees, who meet at least four times a year to transact the business of the Church. The members of the Church are its Trustees.
Objectives and Activities
In order to achieve the principal objective which is set out above, the Church conducts a weekly service of worship, prayer and Bible teaching. Currently these services, which are translated into French and English, are held on Friday evenings.
There were no additional one-off events.In planning the activities the Trustees have applied the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission.
The Church seeks to be a friendly and welcoming community and anybody is free to attend any activity.
Our Minister has gone beyond the call of duty in visiting and ministering to “members” in their homes and in hospital, supported by a number of Church members who have faithfully visited in the same way.
The Church has a Safeguarding Policy to ensure a safe environment for children and young people while engaged in activities associated with the Church. All the Trustees have been vetted with regard to the Disclosure and Barring Service.
Achievements and Performance
The Church does not measure the success of its programmes in numbers, financial or otherwise, but also in less tangible areas such as fellowship and encouragement. About thirty people attended Friday services.
Those attending the church are encouraged to be “salt and light” in their communities.
The Trustees are in the process of reviewing the major risks facing the Church with the aim of ensuring that policies are in place to minimise these risks. Procedures exist to handle any emergency that might arise.
The Trustees are not aware of any serious incidents which would have had to be reported to the Charity Commission. The Trustees have reviewed the Church’s object (as stated and summarised above) and are satisfied that they fully comply with the Charity Commission’s Public Benefit requirements.

Financial Review
The Church continues to raise, from within its own membership and congregation, the funds which it needs to carry on its activities. It is a policy of the Church not to make wider public appeals for funds.
The financial results for the year, together with a summary of the accounting policies adopted are set out in the accompanying financial statements.
The Trustees are developing a Reserves Policy, which will ensure that they have sufficient reserves at the Balance Sheet date, together with ongoing income anticipated, to enable the Church to function effectively during the coming year.
Responsibilities of trustees
Charity law requires us as Trustees to prepare financial statements for each accounting year which record the receipts and payments of the charity for the year.
We are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable us to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011.
We also have a responsibility to safeguard the assets of the charity and to take reasonable steps to prevent fraud or any other irregularities.
Appreciation
The Trustees express their appreciation of the commitment to the Church of our Minister and the support he receives from his family.
In turn the Church acknowledges the devotion and hard work of the Trustees, without which the Church could not function. And many friends contribute hugely to the life and work of the Church.
We give God the honour and praise!
This report was approved by the trustees and signed on their behalf by:

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF
LA MISSION LIBERATRICE DE JESUS CHRIST

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

Independent examiner’s statement
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: 1. accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
- the accounts do not accord with the accounting records.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Designated funds comprise unrestricted funds that have been set aside by the trustees for particular purposes.
