Victorious Pentecostal Assembly
Charity 1116726
Overview
Summary
Victorious Pentecostal Assembly appears to be a faith-led charity whose formal remit combines Christian ministry with relief of hardship and wider community benefit, potentially across London, the UK and internationally. Its recorded activities, however, are narrowly described as preaching and deliverance ministry, leaving the practical shape of its poverty-relief and overseas-aid work unclear. A major information-integrity concern is that the supplied website content appears unrelated to the charity and instead promotes online gambling, making the organisation’s public digital presence unreliable as a source of civic understanding.

Evidence and reasoning
Supporting evidence
Remaining uncertainties
- Direct evidence: the Charity Commission’s current register entry lists Birmingham City among the places where the charity operates, alongside Barking and Dagenham, Bradford City, Luton and Manchester City. It does not identify a Birmingham venue, ward, neighbourhood, delivery programme or partner.
- Reasonable interpretation: the listed footprint spans several English cities in different regions, so the organisation’s reported overall operational scale is best described as national rather than Birmingham neighbourhood-, district- or citywide.
- No supplied Birmingham ward or recognised place can be evidenced as a current operational area. Birmingham City as reported by the Charity Commission cannot safely be treated as evidence of activity in a particular Birmingham ward or neighbourhood.
- The organisation’s listed website currently resolves to unrelated online gambling content rather than church information, so it cannot corroborate present Birmingham activity, sites, services or partnerships.
- Companies House records show the associated charitable company was dissolved via compulsory strike-off on 31 March 2026, while the Charity Commission register continues to show the charity as registered and reporting up to date. This conflict makes the organisation’s current operating status, including in Birmingham, uncertain.
Additional evidence needed
- A current official VPA Church contact channel, service timetable or branch directory confirming whether a Birmingham congregation or service remains active.
- A current Birmingham venue agreement, event listing or local authority/venue partner record identifying the location of any Birmingham activity.
- The charity’s next trustees’ annual report or annual return, with narrative information on services, branches, beneficiaries and operating locations.
- Clarification from the Charity Commission or trustees on the effect of the company dissolution on the registered charity’s ongoing operations.

Observations
A broad charitable mandate with a narrowly evidenced operating model
The charity’s objects allow both religious ministry and practical relief work, but the available activity description indicates that its visible operating model may currently centre on worship and deliverance rather than documented social-support services.
Why it matters
This distinction matters because the organisation may have wider charitable potential than its publicly evidenced delivery suggests. Partners seeking poverty-relief or community services should not assume those functions are active without further evidence.
Show evidence
“The objects include advancing the Christian faith, relieving need, hardship, age and sickness, and other charitable purposes beneficial to the community.”
Source:Charity Commission“Activities are recorded as preaching the word of God and ministering deliverance to those in bondage.”

The organisation may be positioned as a ministry with an outward-facing humanitarian remit
The geographic scope in its objects suggests the charity is designed to connect local religious activity with support beyond a single neighbourhood, potentially including overseas relief.
Why it matters
This may shape its relationships, fundraising priorities and beneficiary networks. It also raises useful questions about whether its local and international work reinforce one another or operate separately.
Show evidence
“The objects apply in London and in other parts of the United Kingdom or the world.”
Source:Charity Commission“The charity is recorded as undertaking overseas aid/famine relief.”

Its apparent website presents a serious identity and trust problem
The supplied website content appears unrelated to a Pentecostal charity and instead describes an Indonesian online-slot platform. This may indicate a compromised, expired, incorrectly recorded or repurposed web domain.
Why it matters
A misleading digital presence can obscure legitimate work, expose potential supporters to harm and prevent collaborators from verifying the organisation’s activities. Resolving this may be more urgent than improving discoverability.
Show evidence
“The supplied website content promotes RI188 as an online slot platform with deposits, withdrawals, bonuses and downloadable Android access.”
Source:Charity Commission“The supplied website content states "18+ access only" and refers to games, payouts and gambling promotions.”

- Whether the charity currently delivers practical poverty relief, overseas aid or community-benefit services beyond ministry activity.
- Who its beneficiaries are in practice, including whether particular communities or geographic areas are prioritised.
- Whether the website is compromised, incorrectly associated with the charity, or no longer controlled by it.
Remaining uncertainties
- Recent annual reports, accounts and activity reports showing expenditure, programmes, locations and beneficiary reach.
- Verified contact details, current trustees, social channels and an explanation of the website-domain status.
- Evidence of delivery partners, referral relationships and any local or international relief projects.
