The Glory Conference Trustees Annual Report (Contd)
For The Year Ended 30 June 2025.
Charity Aims and Objectives
The principal aims & objectives of the charity are: - the advancement of the Christian Religion worldwide via the organisation of Christian conferences, meetings and events.
Summary of Activities during the Year
The charity delivered a large-scale international Christian event on Good Friday 2025 titled “A Night of Glory Encounter” , hosted at the ExCeL London. The event was a free public vigil designed to advance the charity’s religious aims by promoting the Christian faith, encouraging spiritual revival, and fostering community engagement.
The event was widely promoted across the UK and internationally through a combination of in-person outreach events (including in London and Manchester), outdoor advertising, and digital campaigns. This enabled broad participation from diverse audiences both within the UK and overseas.
The programme included prayer sessions, praise and worship, testimonies, and sermons centred on the theme of spiritual revival. Particular focus was given to prayer for the United Kingdom, including its well-being and future, and teaching highlighted the UK’s historic contribution to Christianity, encouraging attendees to deepen and share their faith.
Approximately 5,000 people attended the event in person, representing a diverse demographic. The event successfully engaged younger audiences, with around 10% of attendees aged 18–30. To extend accessibility and reach, the event was also livestreamed globally, attracting approximately over 175,000 online views.
The event had international reach, with attendees travelling from 37 countries, contributing to cultural exchange and local economic activity in East London. It also fostered collaboration within the Christian community, with participation from a range of churches and organisations, including Kensington Temple, Redeemed Christian Church of God and Elim Pentecostal Church.
The event was supported by approximately 350 volunteers from across the UK, contributing in roles such as event operations, music ministry, communications, and technical delivery.
As a direct outcome of the event, approximately 35 individuals converted to the Christian faith with many more making new
commitments to the Christian faith and spiritual revival. The event boosted collaboration within the Christian community and provided economic stimulation to the London area.

Respective responsibilities of the Trustee and the Examiner
It is the responsibility of the trustees to maintain proper books and records and prepare accounts.
The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (Under Section 144 (2) of the Charities Act 2011 (The 1993 Act and that an independent examination is needed)
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under Section 14 of5 the 2011 Act

and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the Independent Examiners report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general direction given by the Charity commission. An examination includes the 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 explanation from the trustees concerning any such matters.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in any audit and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent Examiners 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 appropriate accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011
-
Act 2011 Act have not been met; or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

6 Receipts and Payments Accounts
