Strueture, Governance & Management
The Haven Trust operates from the Haven Christian Centre and is constituted by a I'rust Deed.
li was establislied on February I st 1989.
Trustee Selection, Appointment & Competen¢e
New trustees in the future would be appointed by prayer￿1 agreement of the existing trustees.
Statement of compliance
In setting our activities and planning our ￿tiVItIeS for the year the trustees have oiv¢n careful considei'ation to
the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland's guidance on public benefit to ensure that the activities hav¢
helped to achieve the chaTitys purposes and provide a bet)efit to the beneflciaries.
Purposes
The Haven is a non-denoiJinational OTganisation which exists to advance the Good News of Jesus Christ,
nationally and internationally, and to share that hope and coinpassion prayerfully and practically by bringing
help to those who seek relief frotn debt distress and despair.
ThtTe is lio harm associated with the puryios¢s.
Beueficiaries
The charitls b¢neficiaries are..
Elderly people from the area who rective p￿CtIcal help either with transport or carrying out small jobs around
theiT properties.
Local people who receive food which has been collected & distributed througli local ¢hurthes, charities and
foodbanlcs.
People who ar¢ facintr hardship by reason of age, ill-health. disability, financial iSSLies OT Other disadvaiitages.
PTovision of financial support to missionaries in Burope, Africa and Asia.
Public benefit
During the period. the charity has continued to provide benefits from its a¢tivities as follows..
This is an extremely varied Nvork, as we s¢¢lc with th¢ Lords h¢lp to relieve debt, distress and despair.
Page 2

The Haven Trust
Trustees, Report (continued)
Each situation we deal with is unique to itself.
We operate a ￿rnIture store which accepts se¢ond hand furniture and can redistribute this to people in need.
Some of our volunteers are retired tradesmen which gives us the ability to do minor repairs in the home.
We also support financially, prayerfully and pra¢ti¢ally other CEtYistian charities in Nl and missionaries in
Finland and Thailand and Kenya.
The Public benefiL for spiritual and practical, is difficult to demonstrate as it would depend on the personal
testiinony of thos¢ who are helped. More often than not the situations we deal with are extremely sensitive and
privat¢ and whilst records are kept of who, how and when, it would not be appropriat¢ to share those thin(rs
publicly.
However, in geT)eral teiThs in 202), a few practical illustrations would iiiclude (Fivill(r teinporai-y ac¢onimod&lion
to a persgn whose hoin¢ life had become unbearable.
We ¢ontinue to visit the elderly and hoLLsebound and meet what practical needs we can, whether it be transport
or somethinu minor repaired or a tidy up around the yard and garden.
Just as with the spiritual side of the Haven's work, oui. puo)ose includes sharing God's love by PTactical means
with those who are in need.

includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a Comparison of the fiiiancial statements
Presented with those recoTds. It also includes consideration of any unusual ttems or disclosures sn the financial
statements, and seelcintr ¢xplanations from the trustees concernin(y any such matters. Ther procedures do no
provtde 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 finanGTal stateinents.
Independent examiner's Statement
Iii the course of my examination, no rnatteT lias come to my attention..
(l ) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requireineiits=

concern.
Income endowments

The Haven Trnst
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2023 (continued)
Taxation
The charity is considered to p&ss the tests set out in Paragrapli I Schedule 6 of the Finance Act 2010 and
rhertfore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the
charity is potentially exempt from taxatTon in respect of in¢om¢ or ¢apital oains received within categories
covered by Chapter 3 Part I l of the Corporatioii Tax Act 201 O or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chartreable
Gains Act 1992, to the extent that such income or cyains are applied ¢xclusiv¢ly to charitable purposes.
Tangible fkxed assets
Individual fixed assets costing £ 100.00 or mol-e are initially record¢d at cost, less any subsequent accuillulated
depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairnient losses.
Depreciation and amortisation
Depreciation is provided on tan(3ible fixed assets so as to write off the cost or valuation, legs any estimated
residual value, over theiT expected useful econoiT)ic lif¢ as follows:
Asset class
Land and building
Furniture and equipment
Motor Vehicles
Depreciation method and rate
2 % Straioht lin¢
200/0 Reducing balance
25 /9 Reducing balan¢¢
Trade debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services perfornied in the ordinary
course of business.
Ti'ade debtors are recoonised initially at the transaction p¥ice. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest method, less provision for impaimient. A provision for the impairnient of trade
debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the charity will not be able to collect all an]ourJts due
according to the original tenns of the receivables.
Cash and cash equiTralents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits. and other short-term hiohly liquid
investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of
change in value.
Borrowings
Interest-bearintr bO￿owingS are initially r¢eorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-beariiig
borrowinos are subsequently carried at amortised cost. with the difference between the prweeds, net of
trans&ction costs, and the amount due oll redemption being recognised as a charge to the Statement of Fiiiancial
A¢tivitÈ¢s over the period of the relevant bO￿owing.
Interest exptLise is Tecotsnised the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable
and similar charges.
Borrowinos are classified as current liabilities unless the ¢haTity knas an uncondttional TiJ<y t to defer settlement of
the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
