POTTERS HOUSE CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP CHURCH GLASGOW

Trustees’ Annual Report

For the Year Ended 30 June 2024

Summary of main activities in relation to these objects

The Charity exists to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ and to teach people the bible. All our activities reflect these core goals. The Church arranges or participates in a number of activities to this end, namely Bible Conferences, Marriage Seminars, Men’s Discipleships.

Revival Meetings with visiting preachers, Tent Crusades (home and abroad), Community outreach groups, Home bible studies, Church planting and production of gospel concerts locally and in the third world. We continue to hold to these activities and believe for the vision that we have in these activities.

Achievements and performance

We hold special meetings throughout the year and invite guest speakers to come and do these meetings. When these meetings take place, it involves us in doing street work in the local and surrounding areas.

We have started to send out what we call Impact teams to help other churches for the purpose of evangelism, which often involves concerts which we participate in. We look forward to doing more of this in the coming year. We also receive impact teams from various fellowship churches.

The main thrust and purpose of the charity is to the advancement of religion and for the benefit of the community and is aimed at no specific group and carries out activities for all. We have seen some growth numerically but not as much as would have liked but we continue to perform well doing what we know best in helping others and in seeing people come to a maturity in their Christian faith.

Financial review

The financial position during the year was satisfactory due to the donations from the members of the congregation and of Gift Aid support. This financial position will enable us to further enrich the lives of others by holding special meetings, concerts etc.

We continue to support overseas work in Nanning, China and also continue to contribute to overseas works in Trinidad and Mauritius, added to that are the works in Nicosia in Cyprus and Hanoi South Vietnam. We do this monthly, and all monies go to our mother church in Waltham Forest in London who distribute these works.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS

To the Trustees of

Potters House Christian Fellowship Church Glasgow For the Year Ended 30 June 2024

Charity number SC049448

I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 30 June 2024, which are set out on Pages 6 to 8.

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) 2005 Act and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (As amended). The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) 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 Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. 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 accounts.
