APPENDIX 1 Achievements and performance

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the financial period

	Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the
	financial period (6 September 2024 –30 September 2025)
	During this financial period, the charity achieved significant progress in
	delivering its charitable purposes through a combination of spiritual,
	developmental and practical support to the community.
	We maintained consistent delivery of worship services, prayer meetings
	and Bible teaching, alongside active evangelistic and outreach
	programmes.
	A key highlight was hosting a community worship concert in November,
	which brought people together and promoted faith, unity and wellbeing.
	We also organised family and relationship seminars, which helped to
	strengthen relationships and encourage healthier, more stable family life.
	The charity made strong contributions to education and personal
	development by running Christian education programmes, career and
	skills development sessions, and providing guidance on accessing
	employment opportunities. Our children’s events, as well as youth and
	student activities, created a supportive and engaging environment for
	learning, mentoring and personal growth.
	A major achievement during the period was the level of direct support
	provided to individuals and families in need. This included:

	housing difficulties

	In addition, the charity continued to provide various forms of support and
	gifts in line with its mission, ensuring that both spiritual and practical needs
	were addressed within the community.
	From a financial perspective, the charity demonstrated strong stewardship
	and improved efficiency. At the end of the financial period, the current
	account had a balance of £695. We had been able to save (transfer)
	£15,300 to our reserves (savings account), providing financial stability and
	supporting the charity’s sustainability going forward. reflecting more
	focused and prudent use of resources. Spending was prioritised towards
	core charitable activities and direct community impact, while maintaining
	essential operational commitments such as rent and programme delivery.
	Overall, the charity successfully combined faith-based initiatives with
	meaningful practical support, delivering measurable impact in the lives of
	individuals and families while managing its resources responsibly and
	sustainably.

Financial review

Brief statement of the charity’s policy The Trustees aim to maintain reserves equivalent to six months of core on reserves operating costs to safeguard the continuity of the ministry and to ensure that the charity can meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Trustees define reserves as unrestricted funds available for general use, after allowing for any designated funds. The policy is to hold reserves sufficient to cover key operational costs, including premises hire, essential ministry expenses, and other ongoing commitments.

The Trustees strictly preserve the reserves for use in genuine emergencies and in support of the charity’s long-term strategic objective of acquiring a permanent building. Reserves are not intended to fund routine short-term expenditure except where unexpected circumstances arise. The level of reserves is reviewed at least annually as part of the budgeting and financial review process.

Details of any deficit At the end of the financial period, the charity held a net surplus of approximately £15,300, reflecting good financial management and disciplined control of expenditure. The Trustees are satisfied that this surplus is appropriate, aligns with the reserves policy, and supports the charity’s ongoing financial stability as a going concern.

Independent Examiner’s Report

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) The Good Shepherd, Edinburgh (SC053628)

I report on the accounts of the Charity for the period ended 30 September 2025 which are set out in the following pages.

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 Trust Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006.

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 examiners’ statement

My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts (Scotland) Regulations. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented to those records.

It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeks explanation 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

w. hich gives me reasonable course 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, and

-to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 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.
