6 ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The Church does not measure the success of its programmes primarily in numbers, including financial numbers, but in less tangible areas like fellowship and encouragement. The Trustees recognise that these are difficult to measure but believe that the year covered by this report was a positive one in the life of the Church.
The Trustees acknowledge that the work of the Church is highly dependent on members and volunteers who provide voluntary service in many areas. These include:
-
maintaining the property
-
catering
-
administration
-
staffing the Church activities mentioned in this report
6.1 MAINTENANCE AND UPGRADE OF THE PREMISES
The church building is held on separate charitable trusts. We are in the process of building refurbishment, including applying for Planning Permission and Capital Grants.
7 FINANCIAL REVIEW
7.1 FINANCIAL POLICIES
The Church has established systems to properly receive monies in and to control expenditure in accordance with the Constitution and the directions of the Trustees. The Treasurer is always a Trustee.
The annual church accounts are prepared by the Treasurer and independently examined by external, qualified accountants. They are then reviewed by the Trustees.
Reserves Policy Expenditure is controlled to match anticipated income based on annual budgets, with some allowance to build up reserves as prudent provision for known upcoming major expenses.
7.2 GENERAL FUND
All freely available reserves are held in the General Fund. The Trustees monitor the level of reserves and will address any shortfall or make proposals to the Church Meeting in respect of any accumulated surplus to meet the Church’s objectives. The reserves also represent the working balance of the Church particularly given the claiming of Gift Aid in arrears.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF
HOPE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the period ended 31[st] March 2026, which are set out on pages 9 to 12.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. 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 you as 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 material matters have come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act or
-
the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I 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.
