The board reviews the major risks to which the charity is exposed and procedures have been established to manage those risks.

Review of operations and future developments
The trustees are satisfied with the income generated by the new church hall extension in the year to 30 April 2024.
Financial review
The company's income for the year was £1,202 and its expenses £20,621 resulting in a deficit of £19,419.

Trustees' report (continued)
Statement of trustees' responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and under Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102).
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial period which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departure disclosed and explained in the financial statements, and
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The trustees confirm that they have complied with the above requirements in preparing the financial statements. The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions of the Companies Act 2006 in relation to small companies.
By the order of the Board of Trustees
