GREEN HILLS CHRISTIAN TRUST LIMITED
IA COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE)
Independent Examiner's Report to the
Trustees
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31 st December 2023 which
are set out on pages 5 to I l .
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examlner
The trustees, who are also the directors of Green Hills Christian Trust Limited for
the purposes of company law are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.
The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under
Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act), and that an independent
examination 15 needed.
Having satisfied rnyself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law
and is ellgible for i n d e pe n d e n t examination. it is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts (under section 145 of the Charities Act)
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Direction5 given by
the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities
Act): and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 the trustees concerning any such matters. The
Procedures undertaken do not provtde all the evidence that would be required in an
audit, and consequently no opinion ts 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 bel¢)W.
Independent examiner's statement
In the course of my examlnation, no matter has come to my attention
(i)
which give5 me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect,
the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:
proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with section
7 30 of the Charities Act and with sectlon 386 of the Companles
Act 2006)
accounts are p￿pared which agree with the accounting records and
comply wtth the accounting requirements of the Charities Act and
Section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and
principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice," Accounting
and Reporting by Charities; 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.

StatementofTrustees Responsibilities
The Trustees, who are directors of Green Hills Christian Trust Limited for the purposes
of company law. are responsible for preparing the Trustees Report and the accounts in
accordance with the applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United
Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practicel.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare accounts for each financial year which
gives a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Trust and of the incoming
resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure of the
charitable company for that year.
In preparing these accounts, the trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistentty.
observe Ihe methods and principles in the Charitles Statement of
Recommended Practice (SORP)
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
prepare the accounts on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to
presume that the Trust will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that disclose with
reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the trust and enable them to
ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also
responsible for safeguarding the assets of the trust and hence for taking reasonable
steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

GREEN HILLS CHRISTIAN TRUST LIMIED

TRUSTEE REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 sr DECEMBER 2023
Green Hills Christian Trust (GHCT) has as its principal stated objective," Ihe provlsion of financial
support by way of grants for the Christian education and training of young people.. To thts end.
over the past year Green Hills has been able to support a further 26 individuals and organisations
through the distribution of micro grants. During 2023 we were pleased to be able to allocate
£21 ,357 to support and encourage work amongst chlldren and young people. We praise God for
the work of these organisations and the directors are pleased to have been able to provide this
level of support in the furtherance of the charities objective5.
In order to provide grant monies, the majority of Green Hills, assets are invested in property
which provides a regular and predictable income stream. As directors we take our responsibilities
as a landlord seriously. devoting considerable time and effort to the management of these
propertie5. This is not only to the benefit of our tenants but also ensures that our investments are
adequately protected and that the Trust ha5 a steady and reliable income. The directors have
authorised Leaders in the day-to-day management of the properties and tenancies to provide
professional guidance and services to GHCT. During the course of 2023 the directors authorised
such work as was necessary to ensure that the propertle5 were well maintained.
Whilst there have been no major changes to the property and investment portfolio from which we
derive our income. we have worked hard to ensure that our current Investments will continue to
provide the best possible revenue stream. The directors feel that our current portfolio not only
safeguards the underlying capital value of the company's assets, but also provldes us with a
reliable return from these assets.
Whilst there is no immediate necessity to change the way that Green Hills operates, the directors
recognise that from time to time a more thorough review needs to be conducted to ensure the
ongoing viability of the Trust. A review into the way that GHCT allocates grants was carried out
during 2023 and several changes have been made following this review. In addition. the directors
have also reviewed the charities funding and membership policies. No significant changes are
proposed to these policies at this time.
With Regards to the allocation of grants. grants are currently distributed on an ad-hoc basis
depending on who applies. with a small number of organisations apply annually. Up until now it
has been our practice to consider applications from individuals and organisations from anywhere
in the UK and overseas. The availability of grant monies is not advertised and whilst we receive a
number of
speculative applicatlons through the use of search engines. word of mouth 15 the main avenue
through whtch we are approached.
The directors felt that it was easier to have a relationship with individuals and organisations
locally than nationally. This was felt to be important as it allows the directors to more carefully
monitor to whom the grants are allocated to, thereby ensuring that the money goes to the
purposes for which it was intended.
It wa5 decided to limit the allocation of grants nationally and focus on local charities. After
discussion it was agreed to move to a regional model to enable the directors of GHCT to develop
relationships with organisations, thus improving accountability. It was agreed that from January
2024 grants would only be considered from charities based in Kent, Sussex, Surrey and
Hampshlre.

(A COMPANY UMITED BY GUARANTEE)
TRUSTEE REPORT (Continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 sr DECEMBER 2023
The directors felt that they did not want to cut off organisations from support that they had been
used to receiving so It was agreed that for an interim period GHCT would retain historical
relationships with or9anisations from outside of the target area.
From time to time GHCT is approached by oversea5 mission organisations. It was agreed that the
best way for GHCT to support foreign missions is by supporting those directly involved. In
particular GHcf will seek to support and encourage young people engaging in mission. One way
in which this might be achieved is through partnership wlth local charities agreeing to contribute
through bursartes.
Green Hills does not recelve monies from outside organisations but relies on the income
) generated from its own investment activities. An important aspect of the work of the Trust is to
manage its Investments to provide growth in the underlying Trust which will enable the Trustees
to respond to applications for support in future years. In recent years thls has been achleved
through the purchase of property and income generated from rentals.
It is assumed that property ownership safeguards the underlying capital value of the company's
assets. and provides a reliable return from these assets. However, with increasing costs this might
not be the best way of managing the underlying capital and maximising return on investment.
Followtng the review, the director5 agreed that the current model represented the lowest risk and
a51ows for a regular Income. It was not felt that any changes needed to be made in the short term.
The directors recognise the importance of ensuring that rents accurately reflect market value. The
dtrectors also recognise the importance of ensuring that the properties are well maintained and
comply with all relevant legislation that pertains to rental properties.
The directors are happy with the service that GHcf receives from Leaders Property Management
Ltd.
Green Hills was originally set up with a membershlp and board of directors (trustees). The Trust is
managed by a team of directors who each give their time and expertise as volunteers at no cost to
the charity. From tlme to time outside expertise is solicited to help with more complex issues,
usually pertaining to legal matters and accounts auditing. The current group of trustees has a
wide range of expertise and is an appropriate size for the activities of the Trust. However
membership has been dwindling for a long time and a different structure might be required into
the future. No decision was made about this issue pending further investigation inw the
requirements placed upon the Trust in its articles of association.
The Trust is managed by a team of directors who each give their time and expertise as volunteers
at no cost to the charity. I would like to acknowledge and thank them for their dedication,
commitment, and hard work over the past year.
Thank you for your continuing and prayerful support.

I. ACCOUNTINGPOLICIES
Basis of preparation
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention
modified to include the revaluation of certain fixed assets.
The Trust has taken advantage of the exemption in Financial Reporting
Standard Number I from the requirement to produce a cash flow
Statement on the grounds that it is a small trust.
The accounts have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting
standards, the Statement of Recommended Practice, 'Accounting and
Reporting by Charities, issued in March 2005 and the Companies Act
2006.
Incoming Resources
Investment income is accounted for in the period in which the charity is entitled to
receipt.
Resources expended
Grants made in pursuit if the trust's objectives are charged in the
accounts when payment5 are made. All other expense5 are provided for on
an accruals basis.
Investments
Investments. other than property, are included at the market value at the
balance sheet date. Any gain or loss on revaluation is taken to the
Statement of Financial Affairs.
Realised investment gains and losses represent the difference between the market
value of
the investments at the beginning of the period, or the cost if purchased during
the period, and the sale proceeds. Unrealised gains and losses arise on the
fevaluation at year end.
The investment property held by the trust is stated at its open market
value at 2nd December 2018, and has not subsequently been revalued. This
t￿atment is not Sn accordance with Statement of Accounting Practice
Number 7 9. The trustees consider that the cost of annually revaluing the
propertywould be disproportionate to the value of the information obtained
but are of the opinron that the open market value 15 in exces5 of the
balance sheet amount.
Taxation
The trust is a reglstered charity and is exempt from corporation tax as all
its income is applied for charitable purposes.
