As a religious registered charity, numbered 1203589, our core has been to reach, teach and advance the Christian faith and help the local community with a focus on 4 **THE REDEEMED ASSEMBLIES (CENA)** **TRUSTEES' REPORT** FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 May 2024 unemployment, homelessness, anti-social behaviour, fighting hunger/ food poverty and reducing waste. Weekly in our Board meetings, crafting better ways to enhance the lives of our local community takes the centre stage, hence the need to set up Care Group Centres. Our care group centres is an online community that helps to look out for residents in need, by having care group leaders who do everything possible to scout for those that require help and assistance. They are added to the groups platform where we are then able to reach and touch them. Weekly, there are study sessions which gives us in depth awareness into most of the challenges they go through. And we can categorically say that a lot have benefitted from our counselling sessions. And our welfare scheme which is a vital part of the Care Group centres cater to the physical needs of residents. Certainly, we know that most times when people experience counselling and platforms are not created to ensure they become active in responsibility groups they could slide into very dangerous habits because of exposure to bad company. So, the Redeemed Assemblies (CENA) also created the Service Teams System. Here , we created an avenue whereby all those with certain skill/s or giftings could make very productive use of them like singing, acting, playing the instruments, maintenance, ushering, sound etc. They are able to connect with those of same expertise. And we can boldly say that over the years, so many have been well trained while a lot have served and are still serving in those service teams. Even though we know we may not be able to completely solve the shelter issues of most residents, we have really done so much in terms of providing Temporary Shelters for most residents that have taken advantage of our Care Groups Platforms. There would have been no way we would have peace in our heart knowing that there are still people who are unprotected from the biting cold. To a very large extent, we can say that we have maintained a very strong commitment to a vital aspect of our objectives which is to provide temporary homes for the homeless. There was no change of trustees of The Redeemed Assemblies (CENA) during this period. The Men's, Women's, Youth and Children ministries marked their respective yearly anniversaries by organising forums to discuss various issues related to men, women, youth, children and family relationships. These programmes also attracted a lot of participants and helped resolve a lot of domestic issues. The church also organised marriage seminars to help married couples in and out of church community. Though this 5 **THE REDEEMED ASSEMBLIES (CENA)** **TRUSTEES' REPORT** FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 May 2024 year was challenging, by the grace of God we were still able to reach many with the help of technology and we are looking forward to operating differently when we go in person with the experience gained during this difficult time. ## **PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIODS** Kindly write the Plans for the future for REDEEMED ASSEMBLIES (CENA) STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT It is our hope and prayer that through our dedication and hard work, the Lord will bless and help us to achieve our purpose. The organisation ’ s commitment to maintaining a positive momentum over the coming years is to offer excellent value for money. We also want to continue to develop a healthy and attractive relationship with our members and the entire community.

These accounts have been prepared in accordance with “Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102 )” ( effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Charities Act 2011. These accounts are presented in pounds sterling and rounded to the nearest pound. ## **1.3 Going concern** The Trustees have prepared financial projections, taking into consideration the current economic conditions and have, at the time of approving these accounts, a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the accounts. ## **1.4 Income from donations or grants** Income from donations and grants is recognised when the charity is entitled to the funds, the receipt is probable and the amount can be measured reliably. For donations, this is usually on receipt. For grants, this is usually when a formal o"er is made in writing. If a donation or grant contains terms and conditions outside of the charity ’ s control which must be met before the charity is entitled to the funds, or if the donor specifies that the funds must be used in future time periods, then the income is deferred. ## **1.5 Tax reclaims on donations and gifts** Gift Aid receivable is included in income when there is a valid declaration from the donor. Any Gift Aid amount recovered on a donation is considered to be part of that gift and is treated as an addition to the same fund as the initial donation unless the donor or the terms of the appeal have specified otherwise. 12 **THE REDEEMED ASSEMBLIES (CENA)** ## **NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 May 2024 ## **2 Income from Donations and Legacies** |**Analysis**
