Necessary changes are implemented for the benefit of the church, its members, the wider community, and the nation.

The gross income for the period ended 31[st] July 2025 was £3,282.36. Total resources expended during the year amounted to £ 1,987.39, resulting in a surplus of £ 1,294.97

Public Benefit

The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's objectives and activities and in planning future activities. The Trustees judge that activities in pursuit of the above objectives fully meet the public benefit test, which they have kept in mind in planning programs for the charity.

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities

Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each year, which give a true and fair view of the charity's financial activities during the period and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view, the trustees should follow best practice and:

• Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently - make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent

• Prepare the financial statements on the going-concern basis unless it is inappropriate to assume that the charity will continue in business.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose, with reasonable accuracy, the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with applicable law and regulations. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and for taking reasonable steps to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities

Risk Management

The charity has assessed all the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to the operations and finances of the charity, and is satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to major risks.

Elevate Christ Ministries

On behalf of all the trustees, I respectfully submit this report for your consideration. JOOYAN SOMAN Chairman
