Achievements and Performance. The Trustees have had regard to the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland's guidance on provision of public benefit and are confident that the Church has llY satisfied this requirement through its activities throughout the year from 6 April 2023 to 5 April 2024. The Church continued to provide opportunities for people to meet to worship God and learn about the Christian Faith by conducting morning and evening services every Sunday with attendances of approximately 80 to 90 in the morning and 40 to 55 in the evening. A weekly Bible Study and Prayer meeting was also held on a Thursday evening from September through June, which is open to all. A Woman's Bible Study is held monthly with an average attendance of l O. Sunday services continue to be available on Zoom, which is beneficial to those who are not able to attend in person.

The attendance is between 12 and 18. The Chuwh contributes to th¢ life of the wider community through involvement with the Killicomaine Residents Group and in partnership with them, supports various community events. The major events were the Annual Fun Day in July. for which the chuwh premises were made available, and a community Carol Service in DeMber, both of which were well attended. In collaboration with another local church, we are involved in the running of a M¢n's Club, which meets each Friday morning and provides social internGtion for the men of the local community.

inaneiai Keview The Church is funded by voluntary gifts and donations received from those attending the Church. Maximum use is made of the Gift Aid Scheme. No wider public appeal was made for funds during th¢ year. The total income for the financial year 2023-2024 was £64,463. Expenditure for the year was £42,617 resulting in a deficit for the year of £21,846, At the end of the year a balance of £31,964 was held in our current account and a balance of £13,845 in our building fund account. Details of income and expenditure are available in our published accounts for the year. The Church had no liabilities. The Church uses restricted and unrestricted funds in its accounting policies. Restricted funds are used for money donated to the Church for specific purposes such as overseas missions and building funds. Unrestricted funds from general offerings are used for all other purposes. Any shortfalls in restricted funds are covcred by a transfer from the unrestricted fund. No restricted fund was in deficit at th¢ year end. Reserves Policy A policy on reserves has been considered and agreed by the elders. The income of the church is stable and the risks associated with any significant reduction of income are regarded as unlikely. In the event of an unexpected financial need the elders are confident that members would respond accordingly. The elders are satisfied that a figure equating to approximately two months, expenditure is an appropriate level for reserv¢ balances at the present time. The cash balance at year end comfortably exceeded the level of reserve required. Funds Held as Custodian Trustee on Behalf of Others Killicomaine Evangelical Church does not hold any funds as Custodian trustee on behalf of others.
