THE POTTERS HOUSE CHRISTIAN CHURCH, CROYDON (A Company Limited by Guarantee) The Trustees present their annual report together with the financial statements of the THE POTTERS HOUSE CHRISTIAN CHURCH, CROYDON for the year 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025. The Annual Report serves the purposes of both a Trustees' report and a directors' report under company law. The Trustees confirm that the Annual Report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with the current statutory requirements, the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the provisions of the Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2019). Since the Company qualifies as small under section 382 of the Companies Act 2006, the Strategic Report required of medium and large companies under the Companies Act 2006 (Strategic Report and Directors' Report) Regulations 2013 has been omitted. In setting objectives and planning for activities, the Trustees have given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commission relating to public benefit, including the guidance 'Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)'. Our vision is based on the Great Commission found in Matthew 28:18-20, that we Reach, Raise & Release. Our vision is best summed up in our three-fold mission statement to Save, to Serve & to Send. We are grateful for all of the people who have faithfully support this charity with their time, talents and finances. International Evangelism: We were blessed to have relationships with several international ministries Churches & have had guest speakers from several countries. Pastor Okusi is also was invited to minister in several churches overseas, which resulted in great results of people saved, healed & filled with the Holy Spirit. Evangelism: As part of our regular evangelistic efforts we carry out local outreaches on a weekly basis. We also hosted special Mothers & Fathers Day services & saw great results. Christmas & Easter were marked with evangelistic outreaches with gifts for all guests. AoG Pastor Okusi is an Accredited AoG Minister & AoG Zone Leader, along with Eternity Church he was involved in the National Conference; The Area Days & Zone Days. As members of the Assemblies of God (GB) and give 3% of our tithes & offerings to them. Community Outreach: As in previous years, we have served our local community by opening the doors of our facilities for community events such as Funerals, Weddings, Conferences, Graduations, mental Health Seminars as well as local schools who needed hall space for their school productions. Discipleship As a Christian Church we are committed to “making Disciples” and were delighted to host several baby dedications & baptisms throughout the year. Those being baptised publically articulated their faith in Jesus Christ and were freely being baptised as a sign of their public faith in Jesus Christ. Leadership: The Trustees meet regularly to discuss the Charity with healthy suggestions surrounding charity governance. We have also developed an “Operations Team” that consists of the ministry leads of various departments including the Praise Team, Children’s Ministry, Ushers, Hospitality, Sound Desk, Cleaning, etc. This team plays an important part in the organisation of the church & creates a pipeline in developing leaders. Pastor Okusi was recognised at the Ministers Appreciation Banquet, sponsored by the London City Mission for his contribution to Missional Leadership. Charitable giving: As in previous years as a Church in 2023/24 we gave several thousand pounds to several charitable Page 3
THE POTTERS HOUSE CHRISTIAN CHURCH, CROYDON (A Company Limited by Guarantee) organisations that we support, such as Good Shepherd; Compassion; World Vision; Jews for Jesus; New India Churches & orphanages. Volunteer hours: The success of the Croydon Church is largely down to the Concern, Conviction & Commitment of its congregation. Week in and week out, they faithfully give their time to help reach our community with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We estimate that our members have donated over 570 volunteer hours in various community and outreach projects during the last financial year. Fiscal: The last financial year up to April 2024 has been a good year for the Charity which continues to meet their fiscal commitments robustly. The trustees are also pleased to see a stabilisation in income from the previous financial year. We hold a mortgage with Kingdom Bank & have never been late or missed a payment. In summary the Trustees are thankful to God for another year of growth fiscally, numerically & spiritually & God’s favour during times of economic downturn. As always we face challenges ahead, yet are confident that having come this far, God will continue to lead us and bless us. Objectives and activities Achievements and performance Financial review a.

THE POTTERS HOUSE CHRISTIAN CHURCH, CROYDON (A Company Limited by Guarantee) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 1.Accounting policies
| 1.1 | Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) - Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019), the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006. THE POTTERS HOUSE CHRISTIAN CHURCH CROYDON (Eternity Church) meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy.
| 1.2 | Income
All income is recognised once the Company has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
| 1.3 | Expenditure
Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or constructive obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total of direct costs and shared costs, including support costs involved in undertaking each activity. Direct costs attributable to a single activity are allocated directly to that activity. Shared costs which contribute to more than one activity and support costs which are not attributable to a single activity are apportioned between those activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources. Central staff costs are allocated on the basis of time spent, and depreciation charges allocated on the portion of the asset’s use. Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Company's objectives, as well as any associated support costs. All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.
| 1.4 | Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible fixed assets costing £1,000 or more are capitalised and recognised when future economic benefits are probable and the cost or value of the asset can be measured reliably. Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. All costs incurred to bring a tangible fixed asset into its intended working condition should be included in the measurement of cost. Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of tangible fixed assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, . Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

THE POTTERS HOUSE CHRISTIAN CHURCH, CROYDON (A Company Limited by Guarantee) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 1.Accounting policies (continued)
| 1.5 | Cash at bank and in hand
Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or opening of the deposit or similar account.
| 1.6 | Liabilities and provisions
Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably. Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Company anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide. Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities as a finance cost.
| 1.7 | Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the Trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Company and which have not been designated for other purposes. Page 12
