Trustees' Report

The Community Church of God Building

1. The BOT have initiated internal and external repairs to the Church roof changing and also some of the glass panels whilst repairing a severe leak, this company ‘GiveHands’ has also been contracted to carry out annual maintenance on the roof twice yearly ensuring we are not subjected to further leaks due to blocked gutters.

2. We have resolved some minors issues tin Men’s toilets and the Ladies toilets also.

3. We have also identified further work that need to be carried out, such as the area in the foyer where there are brown stains on the ceiling as signs of water ingress over the kitchen door this was due to the flat roof needing repairing.

4. We contacted a company named Alliance Facilities Ltd and they have repaired the flat roof at the front of the Church and it has made a noticeable difference.

5. We have also noticed a crack in the wired glass again in the foyer area. Currently this is now on the list of task to be completed.

Church Land

Since COVID-19 pandemic became rampant we have not been able to sit down with Haringey Council regarding the land adjoining the Church. Once everything is normalised, we will consider returning to the table and make further representation to the council.

The Manse

1. Subsidence affecting the extension at the Manse – An Insurance claim is ongoing and following a survey they have identified a number of trees which was said to be the main cause of the subsidence. The trees have been cut back and this long, drawn out process is still in progress. A recent survey was carried out Last week an the Manse this week, The surveyor stated it would take several months before work can start. Bro Glen has feedback.

Bus Ministry

Big thanks to Sis. Sophie and the team who are able to share the teachings of the gospel to the children via Bus Ministry. It has proven to be an innovative, fun and informative in the way they share the Word. It’s a novel place for the children to learn and they all enjoy having their own unique space.

Page 4

The Church of God Reformation Movement

Trustees' Report

COVID-19 has proved to be detrimental and had put a stop to the Ministry. However, with dogged determination they have re-establish this service and the children are keen to attend. Long may it continue.

Audio Visual and Music Technicians

  1. We should give the Audio Visual and Music teams a warm heartfelt thank you. We have seen the part that they have played providing the Streaming to connect to our Church Community. They have at times had their work cut out as they battled to maintain the service.

  2. We are extremely thankful to the music department who have shown commitment all the way through the pandemic. Sis Daria, Bro Mark, Bro Tariq, Bro Cox and others have worked very hard dedicating their time to the praise and worship team on a Sunday morning.

  3. We have reviewed the technical equipment required identified by Ajzani and team, which has led to the purchase of new technical equipment suited for the needs of our church community.

COVID-19 Committee Lead

With the outbreak of COVID-19. a committee was formed led by Bro. Dave and Sis. Pat following Government guidelines which we have adhered to and the following precautions and procedures were put in place. 2 metre Social Distancing, Sanitisation stations, Signs were posted as reminders, and new seating arrangements were put into place. We would like to give Bro Dave, Sis Pat and the team a big Thank You for their role in creating and maintaining a safe space while entering, leaving and while worshiping.

Charitable Donations

  1. We were asked to help St Vincent and made a charitable donation for the St Vincent Volcano appeal and we know that they were extremely grateful for our prayers for Gods intervention and financial donations We would like to thank all members for their financial contribution.

Tithes and Offerings – I would like to thank our Church members as they continue their giving of tithes and offerings especially in such challenging times. The generosity of our members in giving has allowed us to maintain our church building and a continued service for our community. We are very much aware that finances and time are both very precious especially in these unprecedented times, BOT members would like to thank each and every member from all our hearts for their tithes and donations and praise you for your charitable gifts.

Food Ministry during COVID-19

Thank you to Sis Sophy, Sis Cheryl and team who continued to do sterling work feeding the homeless, they have organised, cooked and distributed food to those in need I fact there are 3 shelters that she drops off food to. It is a sterling task, and they were outstanding in their quest. Contribution from Members are greatly accepted for this well needed cause in the community.

Building Extension Committee (BEC)

BEC, as with most of our ministries COVID-19 has made a an unwanted impact to the work involved and as such we have put this project on hold until further notice. We would however like to say again thank you to the Donor of a financial gift towards the Project when we start up again.

Finance

I would like to thank Sis Yvette Lawrence, she has an unenviable task of balancing the books ensuring that our financial obligations are met. And because of COVID-19 not allowing Members to attend Church and thereby reducing our Tithes and Offerings we found that we had to be more diligent with our spend.

We would like to sincerely thank our Pastor and Sis Rhonda for all that he has done during this COVID-19 Pandemic. He has continued to maintain church services and has had throughout providing service through streaming as well as providing a service led by the Praise and Worship team and backed by the musicians.

Initially from his home and from the pulpit. He leads prayer meetings weekly and has also conducted weddings and Funerals.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2021

1 Accounting policies

Statement of compliance

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2015) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). They also comply with the Companies Act 2006 and Charities Act 2011.

Basis of preparation

The Church of God Reformation Movement meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes.

Going concern

The trustees consider that there are no material uncertainties about the charity's ability to continue as a going concern nor any significant areas of uncertainty that affect the carrying value of assets held by the charity.

Exemption from preparing group accounts

The charity has taken advantage of the exemption in section 398 of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirement to prepare consolidated financial statements, on the grounds that it is a small sized group. The financial statements contain information about The Church of God Reformation Movement as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group.

The charity is exempt under section 400401 of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirement to prepare consolidated financial statements as it and its subsidiary undertakings are included by full consolidation in the consolidated financial statements of its parent, , a company incorporated in .

Income and endowments

Expenditure

All expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to that expenditure, it is probable settlement is required and the amount can be measured reliably. All costs are allocated to the applicable expenditure heading that aggregate similar costs to that category. Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated on a basis consistent with the use of resources, with central staff costs allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Other support costs are allocated based on the spread of staff costs.

Page 14

The Church of God Reformation Movement

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2021

Charitable activities

Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Taxation

The charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

Trade debtors

Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business.

Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.

Fund structure

Unrestricted income funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees's discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity.

Restricted income funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
