| Incoming resources with | Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fundraising or contract income) |
| related expenditure | the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the SoFA. |
| Grants and donations | Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the charity has unconditional |

| receivable. | |
| Donated services and | These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources |
| facilities | expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and |
| material_._ The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the | |
| service or facility received. | |
| Volunteer help | The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described in the |
| Investment income | This is included in the accounts when receivable. |

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED
28th February 2025
It is with great pleasure that we present the annual report and the financial statements for the year ended 28th February 2025.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in notes to the accounts and comply with the Charity’s Constitution and the Recommendations of the Statements of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities and comply with the applicable law.
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
During the year under review, the trustees who served during the year under review
are:
OBJECTIVES OF THE CHARITY, PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND ORGANISATION OF OUR
WORK
The Redeemed Christian Church of God (Light House) is a member of “The Redeemed
Christian Church of God” which has Parishes all over the world. We are registered with the Office of Scottish Charity Regulator and we are governed by the Charities Act 1993.
We have laid out Redeemed Christian Church of God (Light House for All Nations),
Objectives under six themes:
-
Our goal is to teach the gospel in a practical way.
-
As a ministry, we also focus on the practicalities of the Christian life through our different community work, and world mission that we are involved in; to practise love, and to empower people with the knowledge of God and what they can achieve through Him.
-
To organise children and youth activities, to promote unity in the course of developing deeper spiritual growth.
-
To encourage a prayerful life and consistency in the devotional life and spiritual growth of our members.
-
To work in cooperation with other Christian organisations and support events to achieve Christian aims and objectives.
-
We are also passionate about expansion through church planting.
WORSHIP VENUE
Our worship centre is a
The property is rented from West Dumbartonshire Leisure. The church
worshipped partly online and partly in person during the period under review due to venue constraints.
DEVELOPMENT, ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENT THIS YEAR
During the year, the Charity continued to engage in activities that have positive impact on the community. Some of these are outlined below:
The charity as usual continued to ensure that its objectives were met. We continued to pursue the objectives of furthering the Christian faith and alleviating the sufferings of the people generally irrespective of their race, background, sex or faith.
1.Weekly Tea Stand: We provide light refreshments, creating a warm and welcoming environment for community members to gather and connect.
- Monthly Display of Clothing and Household Items: We regularly offer clothes,
shoes, bags, jackets, household appliances, and furniture to those in needs. These items are also available on request at any time, ensuring that no one in our community goes without the essentials.
- Monthly Food Distribution: We distribute food items to community members in need. Like our clothing services, food distribution is also available on request outside of the scheduled distribution time
4.In December 2023 we organised a Christmas carol for the people in our neighbourhood.
5.In September 2024 we cleaned some of the streets in our neighbourhood (Dalmuir).
- 6.In October 2024 we ministered to the residents of a care home in our neighbourhood and also donated bible to them.
In consonance with our culture, we provided support to some of the needy in our midst within the limits of available resources.
We continued to maintain our partnership with some churches in Glasgow during the year.
The Board of Trustees considers that the performance of the Parish has been satisfactory both in terms of advancement of the Christian faith and in generating needed resources.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
We will continue to pursue our core objectives together with our involvement with the community vigorously. We are already exploring avenues of collaboration with relevant agencies to provide training for our members in areas where we need to raise our skills. Until the weak economy begins to respond positively in a tangible way to the measures put in place by Government we will continue to organise more seminars and workshops on poverty alleviation, waste elimination, budgeting, cost control and other survival strategies. Capacity building through in-house training of our workers will continue, and we will always take advantage of any initiatives from Christ the Redeemer College which is the arm of the mission responsible for training pastors and other ministry workers.
FINANCIAL RESULTS OF THE YEAR
The statement of the financial activities shows income of £80,945 and expenditure of £40,268. The deficit of income to expenditure for the year is £40,677.
The Trustees consider that this present level of funding is adequate to support the continuation of the church objectives.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The Board of Trustees constantly reviews the major risks, which the charity faces on regular basis. The Board of Trustees has examined the major strategic, business and
operational risks which the charity faces and confirms that adequate systems have been established to enable regular reports to be produced so that the necessary steps can be taken to lessen these risks.
VOLUNTEERS/WORKERS
The church workers are mainly volunteers who offer their services free on part time basis and mostly in the evenings as well as during the weekends. These workers are the ones in charge of the various departments and ministries that are functioning within the church. Many more volunteers are still giving up their time to help at the church on ad-hoc basis. We are greatly indebted to these volunteers for their commitment and support.

Independent Examiners Report
To The Trustees
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 28[th] Feb 2025 which are set out on the pages attached.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (a) to (c) of the 2006 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.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations. 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 seeks explanations from the trustees concerning 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 audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner’s statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention
- which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
• to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 8 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations 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.
