OBJECTIVES OF THE CHARITY, PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES AND ORGANISATION OF OUR WORK

The Redeemed Christian Church of God (Covenant Restoration Assembly, Dunfermline), is a member of “The Redeemed Christian Church of God” which has Parishes in over 190 countries of the world. We are registered with the Office of Scottish Charity Regulator, and governed by the Charities Act 1993.

We have laid out the objectives of RCCG, Covenant Restoration Assembly, Dunfermline under the following themes:

To teach the gospel in a practical way.
To focus on the practicalities of the Christian life through our different community work, and world mission that we are involved in, practising love, and empowering people with the knowledge of God and teaching them what they can achieve through Him.
To organise children and youth activities, promoting 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 network and partner with other Christian organisations and support events that promotes Christian aims and objectives.

WORSHIP VENUE

Our current place of worship and meeting venue is Abbot Hall, Wilson’s Close, Dunfermline KY12 7NW , which we have leased since 1 June 2021 . Abbot Hall has served as a temporary but valuable base for our congregation, hosting our Sunday Services, Wednesday Midweek Services, fellowship meetings, and special events . The lease agreement is due to run until 31 May 2026 .

In line with our long-term vision for growth and stability, we are delighted to confirm that we have recently acquired a permanent site for the church —the Erskine Building (Covenant House), 4 Pilmuir Street, Dunfermline KY12 7AJ . This property marks an important milestone in our journey, providing us with a lasting home in the heart of the community.

The Erskine Building is currently undergoing major renovation works to make it fit for purpose and to create a welcoming, functional, and sustainable space for worship, fellowship, and outreach. Once completed, the new site will not only meet the needs of our congregation but also provide opportunities to serve the wider community through inclusive programmes, events, and charitable initiatives.

DEVELOPMENT, ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENT THIS YEAR

During the year under review, the Charity continued to engage in a range of activities that have positively impacted our community. Key highlights include:

Promoting Christian Faith and Values The Charity remained committed to its core objective of furthering the Christian faith without discrimination or prejudice, welcoming people of all races, backgrounds, genders, and beliefs. Through teaching, training, and fellowship, we encouraged members to apply biblical principles that foster self-esteem, resilience, and responsibility, helping individuals avoid criminality and social vices, and supporting them to live fulfilled, productive lives.
Supporting Children Through Compassion UK We continued our sponsorship of Geraldo , a beneficiary of Compassion UK, whom we have been supporting since July 2014 . This long-term commitment reflects our dedication to improving the lives of vulnerable children.
Community Food Support Each week, we collected surplus food from local stores and supplied it to the Home4Good Centre, Dunfermline , a homeless shelter. This initiative continues to meet practical needs and demonstrates our commitment to supporting the most vulnerable in our community.
Christmas Outreach Our annual Christmas activities remained a highlight of community engagement. We organised a Christmas party for members and the wider community, provided Christmas lunch and hampers to the homeless shelter, and shared the joy of the season through Christmas carols.
Regular Worship and Fellowship Meetings We held weekly Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday meetings , providing
opportunities for worship, teaching, encouragement, and personal development, equipping members to be positive contributors to the wider community.
Partnerships and Collaborations
We strengthened our collaboration with other churches and charitable organisations in Dunfermline. Through initiatives such as ‘Dunfermline Pastors Praying Together’ , we fostered unity, fellowship, and collective action. The network continues to grow, with more pastors joining to promote Christianity and make a positive impact across the community.

ACHIEVEMENT DURING THE YEAR

As highlighted in our development plan, over the past year we have remained actively engaged with our local community by partnering with local food stores and other charitable organisations to support the less privileged, including the homeless shelter and those in need.

Community Food Support On a weekly basis, we collect surplus food from local stores and distribute it to individuals and families facing hardship, as well as to local shelters. This initiative not only provides practical help but also strengthens our commitment to reducing food waste while caring for the vulnerable in our community.
Training and Capacity Building We continue to invest in the development of our members through training, seminars, and workshops. These cover a wide range of areas including skill acquisition, poverty alleviation, health and well-being, leadership training, budgeting, cost control, and other survival strategies. These programmes are designed to empower our members with practical tools that act as safety nets in these times of global challenges.
Acquisition of a Permanent Place of Worship By God’s grace, and through the generous donations and contributions of our members, we have acquired a permanent place of worship: the Erskine Building, Covenant House, 4 Pilmuir Street, Dunfermline KY12 7AJ . This former Church of Scotland property, which had been abandoned for many years, is now in our care. The building is currently undergoing major renovation, and we are trusting God to complete the works as soon as possible to enable our immediate occupation.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENT

Looking ahead, we remain committed to pursuing our core objectives by strengthening our network with other charitable organisations of similar vision, sustaining collaborations, and promoting partnerships with sister organisations, local food stores, and community groups.

We will also continue to expand our programmes by organising more seminars and workshops on leadership, management, and personal development, while promoting

capacity building through in-house training for our members, volunteers, and other interested individuals in the wider community.

In pursuing these objectives, we will take full advantage of initiatives offered through Christ the Redeemer College and the Department of Corporate Social Responsibility , which serve as vital arms of our mission for training and community engagement in the UK.

FINANCIAL RESULTS OF THE YEAR

The Statement of Financial Activities shows a total income of £162,594 and total expenditure of £70,712 for the year under review. In addition, a balance of £22,829 was carried forward from the previous year.

The Trustees note that a significant proportion of the expenditure relates to hall rental and professional fees associated with the renovation of our permanent site. It is therefore the view of the Trustees that, moving forward, the Charity will vigorously prioritise the completion and use of the permanent place of worship. This will help to minimise, and in due course substantially reduce, expenditure on rental costs, thereby enabling greater savings and increased income available for charitable activities.

Accordingly, the Trustees consider that the present level of funding remains adequate to support the continued delivery of the Charity’s objectives and the fulfilment of its mission.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Board of Trustees continually reviews the major risks faced by the Charity and takes seriously its responsibility for safeguarding the organisation’s resources and mission. During the year, the Trustees examined the key strategic, operational, financial, and compliance risks affecting the Charity and confirmed that systems are in place to monitor, manage, and mitigate these risks on a regular basis.

Strategic Risks: The Trustees recognise the importance of maintaining focus on the Charity’s long-term objectives, particularly in relation to the development of the permanent place of worship. Regular reviews ensure that decisions remain aligned with the Charity’s vision and sustainable growth.
Operational Risks: Risks associated with day-to-day activities, including health and safety, volunteer management, and delivery of community programmes, are addressed through appropriate policies, staff/volunteer training, and continuous monitoring.
Financial Risks: The Trustees monitor income and expenditure closely to ensure the Charity remains financially sustainable. Particular attention has been given to rental costs and renovation expenses, with plans in place to reduce dependency on leased premises once the permanent site is completed.
Compliance Risks: The Board ensures that all legal and regulatory requirements are met, including those relating to charity law, safeguarding, and data protection. Regular reporting and external professional advice are used where necessary to maintain compliance.

The Trustees confirm that adequate systems and procedures are in place to produce regular reports, enabling them to take timely and effective action. This structured approach provides assurance that the Charity is well positioned to manage risks and to continue delivering its objectives in a safe, sustainable, and responsible way.

VOLUNTEERS/WORKERS

We are deeply grateful to our church ministers and workers for their unwavering commitment and support. The majority of these individuals are volunteers , generously offering their time on a part-time basis , often during evenings and weekends. They oversee the various departments and arms of our parish, ensuring that the church operates smoothly and effectively.

In addition, many other volunteers continue to contribute on an ad-hoc basis , assisting with events, community outreach, and day-to-day activities. Their dedication and selfless service are vital to the ongoing work and mission of the church, and we are profoundly thankful for their contributions.

Independent Examlners Report Independent Examlner's Report to the Trustees of RCCG, Covenant Restoration Assembly, Dunfermline. Fife- (sc050792) I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 11th January 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 conceming any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the eviden 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 1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements- to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44{1) lal 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 2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
