APPENDIX 1
Achievements and performance
Summary of the maln achlevements of
the charity durlng the financlal poriod
In the past few years, a great number of people in Hong Kong
with BNO status moved to the UK. As a result, ECCC has
experienced a significant increase in the congregation. Our
regular worshippers now number about 100. ECCC still
accommodates worshippers who speaks Cantonese as their first '
language. With the increase in the congregation. there has been
a need to set up of different fellowship groups. These cater for |
the spiritual needs of different age ranges in the congregation,
We have children's Sunday school for primary school children, a
teenager fellowship, college students fellowship, a working I
group fellowship, a parenvs group fellowship and a retirement
group fellowship.
Last year, one of our deacons resigned at the end of OCL We had
a special AGM at the end of Dec. As a result, we have elected 4
deacons to fulfil the increasing workload of the Deacon Board.
Planning ahead, the congregation has approved a move to
employ two part time pastors to be responsible for the teenager
fellowship and children's Sunday school. We pray God will guide
us through this new phase in our church. Provide us with more
dedicated pastors and manpower to administer his gospel in the
community and bring more people to know Iiim. We pray our
church will stay strong with God's love and honour his name
with our work.

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance
with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotiand) 2005 Act and the
Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. The charty trustees consider that the
audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply. It
is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44(1) (c) of the
Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
My examination is carTied out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities
Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. An examinats'on 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 seeks explanations from the trustees conceming any 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 audil opinion on the accounts.
