This year (2021) was an extremely tough year for all our users due to the COVID – 19 pandemic. We were able to continue the operations of our existing projects and use the funds from grants to undertake new projects

Existing projects: Project name: Breakfast and Befriending Club

Project Name: “Harvesters”- Bags of Hope project is funded by

Particularly during the pandemic and lockdown, Harvester’s Kitchen has responded swiftly by reshaping the nature of their operational delivery within the community to providing “Bags of Hope” to those mostly affected by the lockdown.

The Bags of Hope includes essential food items and relief materials. From the beginning of April 2020 to end of September 2020, the food bank had distributed over 1500 Bags of Hope in the given 6-month period equating to circa 250 bags per month and this is still rising.

The distribution of the bags of hope have been extremely popular and since October 2020 the bags . of hope distribution has increased to a total of 130 bags per week

Over the 8 years that the Harvesters have been feeding the community, they have supplied and provided over 14,000 hot meals to people in the local community

Daily Lunch Sandwiches - This is delivered by Harvesters Kitchen daily at lunchtime 4 times a week. The sandwiches are supplied fresh daily by Pret a Manger. These sandwiches have proven quite useful and fulfill a daily need for the locality including NHS frontline key workers during this period of pandemic.

New projects:

During this incredibly challenging year (2021), the charity undertook two new projects to further support our local community emerging from the pandemic era

Project Name: Hope 4 All

The service offers free and confidential general advice, signposting and support for the most vulnerable people within the community due to the severe impact of COVID19.

Our dedicated advisers provide a single point of contact for those in need of emotional support or more practical assistance.

Financial Review

I report on the state of the finances of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021, which are set out in the below.

It has been a really challenging year for the charity with income from our members been squeezed due to the pandemic, but we have been able to keep hold of our spending.

The total incoming resources for the year amounted to £165,567K and the total resources expended amounted to £108,819K leaving a net surplus for the year of +£56,748K

The balance of funds as at 31 December 2020 was +£128,278K

It is the policy of the Charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three- and six-month’s worth of expenditure.

The Trustees considers that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities whilst consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year.

Christ Apostolic Church (Bethel) UK To the Trustees of Christ Apostolic Church (Bethel) UK

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2021, which are set out in the attachment.

Respective responsibilities of the 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 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act) and that an independent examination is what is needed.

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 matter has come to my attention:

(a) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:

(i) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act; and

(ii) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act; have not been met; or

(b) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
