REHOBOTH FAITH ASSEMBLY UK

Trustees’ Report for the Period Ended 31st August 2024

Structure, Governance and Management

Rehoboth Faith Assembly UK is a registered charity governed by its Constitution, which sets out the purposes and framework for the charity’s operations. The charity was established in 2023, and it operates primarily to spread the gospel of Christ and serve the community through spiritual growth and outreach activities.

The trustees are responsible for the overall governance and strategic direction of the charity. They meet regularly throughout the year to review progress, ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, and oversee the charity’s finances and activities.

Trustees were recruited based on their commitment to the charity’s mission, relevant skills, and experience. New trustees undergo an induction process to familiarise themselves with their roles and responsibilities under charity law and the charity’s governing document. Ongoing training and development opportunities are provided as needed to support effective governance.

The day-to-day management of Rehoboth Faith Assembly is undertaken by appointed leaders and volunteers, who coordinate the charity’s various projects, membership development, and community engagement activities. The leadership team reports to the trustees and ensures that the charity’s work aligns with its objectives and values.

The trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 August 2024, prepared in accordance with the charity’s accounting policies and in compliance with its trust deeds, the Charities Act 2011, and the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP).

Trustees who served during the period were:

Eileen Onumonu

Kate Imomoh

Ngamukumu S Mbelanda Solange Tomas

. Charitable Objectives

The charity’s objectives, as set out in its governing document, are:

(a) the advancement of the Christian faith throughout the world; and
(b) the relief of poverty wherever it is found.

In carrying out these aims, the trustees have due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. Activities undertaken during the year reflect these purposes, through both spiritual outreach and practical support for those in need—locally and globally. The trustees are committed to ensuring that all charitable work serves the public benefit in accordance with legal and ethical standards.

Achievements and Performance

The trustees are pleased to report that the church has continued to thrive spiritually, ministering to many individuals throughout the year through various activities aligned with its charitable objectives.

The church’s evangelism team remained active, continuing its outreach through street evangelism and door-to-door visits. These efforts were well received by members of the community and resulted in numerous requests for prayer and follow-up visits, reflecting a growing interest in spiritual support and connection.

Regular worship services remained central to the life of the church, offering opportunities for communal worship, teaching, and spiritual growth. Services were held weekly; Bible study and prayer meetings were held regularly via Zoom, allowing members to participate remotely and maintain spiritual fellowship despite physical distancing measures.

Through these activities, the church continued to fulfil its mission of advancing the Christian faith and providing spiritual and emotional support within the community.

Financial review

The total incoming resources for the year amounted to £5,714.54, while total resources expended were £4,354.26. This resulted in a net surplus of £1,360.28 for the year.

Reserves Policy

It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted reserves — that is, funds not designated for a specific purpose — at a level equivalent to between three and four months' expenditure. The trustees believe that holding reserves at this level is prudent, as it will

allow the charity to continue its core activities in the event of a significant drop in income, while strategies are developed to restore funding levels. This target level of reserves has been maintained throughout the financial year.

Plan for the future period

The charity continues to explore various avenues to effectively spread the gospel of Christ. In addition to its outreach efforts, the charity is focused on growing its membership and equipping its members to make a meaningful, life-changing impact in society. Through spiritual development, community engagement, and practical support, the charity aims to further its mission in both depth and reach.

Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently.
Observe the methods and principles in the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP);
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufÏcient to show and explain the charity’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Report on Charitable Projects

During the Christmas period, Rehoboth Faith Assembly was invited to Maitland Park Nursing Home to minister to both residents and staff. On each occasion, more than 20 residents gathered to take part in the event. Members of the church sang Christmas carols and shared the gospel message, offering encouragement, hope, and spiritual comfort during the festive season. The visits were warmly received and provided an opportunity to demonstrate Christ’s love through worship, fellowship, and community engagement. This initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to reaching out to the elderly and vulnerable in our local community.

On behalf of the trustees, Eileen Onumonu.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT FOR YEAR ENDED 31[st] August 2024

TO THE TRUSTEES OF REHOBOTH FAITH ASSEMBLY,

I report on the accounts for the period ended 31[st] August 2024.

RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIESOF THE TRUSTEES AND THE EXAMINER

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of charity law. They are also responsible for ensuring that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and for maintaining proper accounting records and safeguarding the assets of the charity.

It is my responsibility to:

Examine the financial statements under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011.
To follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act; and
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of Independent Examiner’s Statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters.

The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and, consequently, no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view', and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent Examiner’s Statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act 2011; and
to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 2011 have not been met; or
To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
