## EBENEZER TRUST (Registered Charity No. 283812) ## TRUSTEES’ REPORT AND ACCOUNTS ## for the year ended 5 April 2021 ## INDEX Trustees’ Report 1 Examiner’s Report 2 Balance Sheet 3 Receipts & Distributions Account 4 Gifts to Charitable Causes 4 ## EBENEZER TRUST ## Trustees’ Report ## for the year ended 5 April 2021 The Trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 5 April 2021. The trustees have continued to distribute the funds held by the trust and a list of gifts made in the year is given on page 4 of these accounts. The gifts total £82,520. (2020: £66,150) The Trust’s main activity has continued to be the provision of financial support to a Christian church in County Wicklow, in the Republic of Ireland. The gifts are not specifically designated. The corporate leadership of the church uses the funds as they consider necessary to advance its work, but the Trustees are consulted to ensure the use of funds is appropriate. During the previous year that church increased its facilities by the purchase of an additional building. This year the church continued to reduce the mortgage on this building as funds, some provided by Ebenezer Trust, became available. The Covid lockdown has inhibited attendance at meetings and the church is looking forward to being able to welcome everyone to its meetings soon. Ebenezer Trust was able to give £10,050 to enable a new church in West Kenya to purchase a plot of land with the purpose of establishing a training centre and meeting place. The Trust also gave for the relief of poverty caused by the Covid-19 lockdowns in West Kenya. Gifts were sent to Romania for medical expenses of a young girl with spinal deformity and for the general needs for shelter and food among the gypsy population. The Trustees will continue to distribute funds whenever they become available to appropriate causes in accordance with the Trust’s objects.

Giles xxxxxxxxxxx 2021 Page 1 ## Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees of ## EBENEZER TRUST I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 5 April 2021, which are set out on the following pages. ## Respective responsibilities of 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 needed. It is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts (under section 43(3)(a) of the 1993 Act); - to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act); and  to state whether particular matters have come to my attention ## Basis of independent examiner’s report: My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. ## Independent examiner’s statement: In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: - (1)which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act - have not been met; or - (2)to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. |………………………………
