Assemblies Of God Back To God
Charity 1108833
Overview
Summary
Assemblies Of God Back To God appears to be a faith-led charitable platform combining Christian mission with practical relief of hardship. Its stated geography spans several UK cities while retaining the ability to work internationally, suggesting a distributed rather than narrowly local role. The organisation may operate partly through other voluntary bodies as well as directly with the public, but the available evidence does not show how resources, services or partnerships are organised in practice.

Evidence and reasoning
Supporting evidence
Remaining uncertainties
- The Charity Commission register, based on the charity's current reporting, lists Birmingham City among the places where it operates. This is direct evidence of a Birmingham operational presence, but it does not identify any Birmingham neighbourhood, ward, venue or service location.
- The trustees' report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 describe work promoting Christianity and maintaining places of worship, and record rent expenditure, but do not name any Birmingham site or explain where services, events or hardship relief were delivered.
- There is insufficient evidence to conclude whether Birmingham activity is neighbourhood-based, district-wide or citywide. Birmingham is listed alongside several UK cities and South Africa and Zimbabwe, so the organisation's overall footprint is international, but this does not establish the scale of its Birmingham operations.
- No material Birmingham partnerships, local delivery organisations or subsidiary operations were identified in the available authoritative evidence.
- The principal office identified in the 2025 accounts should not be treated as an operational site.
Additional evidence needed
- A current official programme, service timetable, event listing or annual report that identifies Birmingham delivery locations and the frequency of activity.
- Official confirmation of any Birmingham places of worship or rented venues used by the charity.
- Official information identifying any Birmingham-based partner churches or voluntary organisations through which the charity delivers services or funding.
- Evidence showing whether Birmingham activity serves a defined local area, multiple neighbourhoods or the city more broadly.

Observations
Faith mission is paired with material relief
The organisation appears to treat religious activity and the relief of poverty or hardship as connected parts of its charitable purpose, rather than as separate programmes.
Why it matters
This suggests its role may extend beyond worship or religious education into practical support, potentially making it a bridge between faith communities and wider charitable need.

A multi-place remit may rely on networks
Its activity across London, Essex, Coventry, Birmingham, Manchester and Cardiff, alongside an international remit, may indicate a networked operating model rather than a single-community service organisation.
Why it matters
Understanding whether these places are linked through congregations, partner organisations or delivery sites would reveal where the organisation has relationships and where it may connect otherwise separate local civic networks.

Potential intermediary role is unusually important
By identifying other charities and voluntary bodies among its beneficiaries and stating that it provides other finance, the organisation may function partly as a funder, supporter or enabling body for wider charitable activity.
Why it matters
If confirmed, its influence could be greater than its direct service footprint: mapping recipients of finance or support may reveal important but less visible relationships in the voluntary sector.

- There is no evidence of specific programmes, service users, funding recipients or delivery partners.
- It is unclear whether the named places are active delivery locations, membership areas or occasional areas of work.
- The balance between direct public benefit, support to other organisations and overseas activity is unknown.
Remaining uncertainties
- Annual reports or accounts showing expenditure, grants, activities and geographic distribution.
- Programme descriptions, partner lists and evidence of outcomes for people experiencing hardship.
