STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
The charity is governed by a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) – Foundation Constitution , registered on 11th October 2024 . Governance is through a board of trustees who meet regularly to review, plan activities, and monitor the financial position.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The objects of the organisation are first to advance the Christian faith [in accordance with the statement of beliefs] in such ways and in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the trustees may think fit from time to time. The trustees confirm that they have had due regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit before deciding what activities the charity should undertake.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The organisation held successful meetings through the year in which individuals were equipped and educated on the principles and doctrines of the Christian faith. Outreach meetings were also conducted, giving individuals the opportunity to hear the Christian
message. These efforts produced good results in reaching and helping members of the community.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The income of the charity for the year was above £6,500 , which is a strong figure considering this was the charity's first year of operation , covering only 9 months . Costs have been well managed. The main expenses included hall and office rentals as well as operational costs.
RESERVE POLICY
It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds equivalent to approximately three months of expenditure, to cover unforeseen emergencies. The charity aims to maintain this reserve level throughout the year.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The charity has assessed all major operational and financial risks and is satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate them effectively.

Under the Charities Act 2011 , trustees must prepare a Statement of Accounts that gives a true and fair view of the charity’s financial position. Trustees are responsible for:
-
Selecting suitable accounting policies and applying them consistently.
-
Making judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent.
-
Stating whether the applicable accounting standards have been followed.

Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. They consider that an audit is not required under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 , and that an independent examination is needed.

Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b).

My examination was conducted in accordance with the Charity Commission’s General Directions. An examination includes reviewing the accounting records and comparing the accounts with those records. It also includes considering any unusual items or disclosures and seeking explanations from the trustees. The procedures undertaken do not constitute an audit and no audit opinion is given.
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:
oProper accounting records have not been kept, oroThe accounts do not accord with those records; or -
To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
