OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

The objects of the Church ("the Objects") are for the benefit of the public:

(a) To advance the Christian faith in accordance with the Statement in such ways and in such parts of the United

Kingdom or the world as the Church Council from time to time may think fit;

(b) To relieve sickness and financial hardship and to promote and preserve good health by the provision of funds, goods

or services of any kind including through the provision of counselling and support in such parts of the United Kingdom

or the world as the Church Council from time to time think fit; and

(c) To advance education in such ways and in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the Church Council

from time to time may think fit.

Significant activities

The Trustees keep in mind the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit when planning our activities for the

year. As a matter of course, reference is made to our charitable objects and agreed objectives to aid decision-making. It

is the aim of Hillingdon Pentecostal Church to serve and meet the holistic need of the community, and we do this in

various ways as detailed below:

Weekly Services of Public Worship

We meet every Sunday morning and evening as a church community for public worship, teaching and observing the

Christian sacraments. The groups for children and young people also take place during this time. The church also meets

in five house fellowships on a twice monthly basis.

This year also marked the return of the church to its building on Kingston Lane following the completion of the building

project. The first service was designated as a celebration.

Other services include prayer breakfasts, a week every quarter dedicated to prayer and fasting, Easter, Christmas and

New year services, men and women's meetings, baptismal services and dedication services.

Christian Training and Study

The church undertook five courses that were run in the setting of the House fellowships that take place twice a month.

The church has also undertaken courses for the young people at HPC, when they meet on a Sunday. This is in addition to

teaching that takes place during the teaching time on a Sunday morning and evening service.

A Safeguarding training was also organised for the benefit of the teachers and assistants of the children and young

people's groups while a Leaders Away day was organised to equip and train House Fellowship leaders and children and

young people's workers.

As part of the Music Ministry department children and young people were invited to attend a Drum Clinic, where they

were provided with the opportunity to improve their drum playing skills with the aim to helping them become proficient

to play as part of the Sunday worship services.

Special meetings for advancement of the Christian religion

The church organised an outreach event at Christmas, in this reporting year, on our local high street. The church recently

organised a Thanksgiving Service to commemorate the completion of the extension to the existing building. This was an

opportunity to invite friends and families, professionals who were involved in the building work and local councillors.

This was an opportunity to express the Christian faith to those attending through the medium of songs, visual media,

music and choir pieces.

The community around us, family and friends were also invited to Fun in the Son, a family event which entailed games,

a concert, refreshments and poetry recitals which were centred on the Christian faith.

Children and young people had the opportunity to invite their friends and family to the Light up the Night party. The

event involved games, a bonfire, fireworks and was an opportunity for the young people to share their faith.

The church also celebrated the several cultures that are part of the congregation through the event Let the nations

rejoice. This was an opportunity to invite friends, family colleagues to an evening of Christian song, dance from the

many cultures represented in the church.

Pastoral care of the Church members, adherents and the wider community

Pastoral care for church members is organised through House fellowship leaders and the deacon for pastoral care.

Pastoral care takes the form of Home visits, emergency childcare assistance, assistance with transportation, hospital

visits and phone calls. The men's fellowship has also been engaged in providing practical support such as garden upkeep

etc when required.

A Christmas meal was organised to host those amongst the congregation who were on their own or away from family.

We also network and engage with government agencies when the particular needs of an individual member may require

us to do so.

We undertake activities for all age groups - details are in Achievements and Performance.

Volunteers

We acknowledge the valuable contribution made by volunteers from within our church community, without whom we

would be unable to offer such a wide range of activities for the public benefit.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE

Charitable activities

Activities for all age groups including the elderly and the youth

1.Hillingdon Street Angels

Our church is an active participant of The Hillingdon Street Angels which is an initiative of churches in Hillingdon, and

volunteers its members to help to provide a safe environment on our streets on Friday and Saturday nights with support

from the Metropolitan police and the London Borough of Hillingdon.

2.Working with Children

The aim of our children's work is to not only provide a fun and practical Biblical teaching curriculum but also to create

outreach opportunities to which children in the church can invite their friends, and we can invite children from the local

community.

Some of our activities were as follows: Pre-Christmas celebration, Family service which was led by the children of the

church, Easter presentation and bi- monthly meetings for volunteers who are part of the Children's work.

A Safeguarding training was also organised for the benefit of the teachers and assistants of the children and young

people's groups.

Over the years there has been a significant increase in the number of children attending church.

3.Youth Work

Our church is sensitive to the needs of its members regardless of age, gender, race and background. We have two groups

within the youth work with ages ranging from 12 to 14 and 15 to 19. Our aim is to build faith and provide the means to

make sound life choices. The young people have enjoyed activities together to build relationships. This included going

out to "Re-boot"- a Christian event for young people, assisting with the Thanksgiving service and church clear up.

The young people are considered to be a vital part of the church community and the activities that take place on a

Sunday morning as they volunteer in the music, worship and children's work on one Sunday of the month.

4.Women's Group

The ministry to women at the church takes place through three groups- Women Together, where women of all ages meet

together for a time of fellowship, teaching, activities, worship and refreshments. This takes place once every three

months.

The second Group is Rooted which takes place every month and is a time to study the Bible together. We-Connect is a

new group which meets once in two months and aims to provide a relaxed atmosphere for older women to meet together.

In addition, women from the church have attended the Woman to Woman conference hosted by Premier Christian

Radio.

5.Men's Group

Men's Fellowship runs as a group to empower and equip men to be positive role models in the family, church,

community and work place, and to help those in need. The Men's fellowship meets monthly providing an environment

for all men to share, fellowship and grow holistically. As part of the men's fellowship, we are conscious that the

engagement of our young people, is key, and we aim to encourage, communication and bonding through different events.

This year we have also began a new initiative called "The Men's Ministry Hands-on Initiative", where We are taking

requests from families connected directly or indirectly to the church who have need of practical, physical help, for

example: garden upkeep, large DIY tasks, lifting & shifting. This initiative has really helped a few families and

individuals in our church community.

6. Students at Brunel University

The church engaged with students attending Brunel University through the hosting of student lunches through the

months of September and October. Students from Brunel University were also invited for student socials.

A few foreign students were provided assistance in getting to know the area better and with assistance to find shops and

avenues that would meet their particular needs.

7. Assisting refugees

As the church has grown we have been actively involved in assisting refugees who have made this church their own.

This included accompanying them to appointments, contacting various organisations at their request, assistance with job

applications.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Reserves and investment policies and objectives and principal funding sources

The principal source of funds is through donations from church members and congregations.

The Trustees ensure that the expenditure is solely used to support the key objectives of the charity and in line with its

charitable objects.

The church keeps in its operating account a reserve of 6 months salary (£17,000) and a further £6,000 for unforeseen

expenses. An additional sum of £38,000 is kept for the year's mortgage payments. This is in keeping with the current

assets of £61,253.

Reserves and other financial policies are reviewed regularly by the Trustee Board. The church has drawn down the

remainder of its £400,000 mortgage and with most of the assets in its Building Fund paid for the building of the church's

extension and most of the refurbishing of the rest of the building. This has left us with £20,102 in our building Fund,

which covers the cost of the retention of £20,000 for the extension rebuild. A further £20,000 from our assets has been

designated to contribute towards the completion of the refurbishment in the future.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and constitutes a

limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Hillingdon Pentecostal Church ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2019.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for

the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act

and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried

out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the

Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the

examination giving me cause to believe:

1.	accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

2.	the accounts do not accord with those records; or

3.	the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

4.

the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should

be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

FUNDS

Building fund

Restricted funds received for the new church building have been transferred to unrestricted funds because

expenditure to date on this capital project exceeds the total donations given to the building fund.

£40,000 is the amount designated by the trustees from unrestricted funds for the cost of the retention of £20,000

for the extension rebuild and a further £20,000 towards the completion of the refurbishment in the future.
