Trustees Re ort Warwick New Life Church Friars Street Warwick. CV34 6HD. Chari No. 1052018 The trustees that served during the financial year 1.4.2021 to 31.3.2022 were Pastor Linz Alexander Ichairperson/Minister}, Miss Stacey Bains {Treasurer/Elderl and Mrs Vicky Goma (Secretary & Elder). Trustees are appointed by the Minister and the Elders. AOG Property Trust, Nottingham remained Holding Trustees for the building. The legal structure for the charity is an unincorporated association. Our governing document is the Assemblies of God New Model Deed Trust. Our principal aim of the charity is the advancement of the Christian faith and desplte Covid and not being able to meet in the building as a worship community we continued in our efforts to make Jesus known and disciple believers by various programmes via Zoom, and other forms of social media. We also met in smaller groups for fellowship. teaching and prayer. We continued to support members of our Kids Club and Youth Club with more home visits and we were able to start outdoor activities and events for both them and their families. During the year our building continued to be usefully deployed to hold freezers supporting our Your Farmer Foodbank, which this year was more focused on meeting the needs of struggling families in Warwick rather than going further afield into the county also. We also continued to run, from the church building, our second-hand white goods and furniture provision to further support families. However, as society began to open up again after Covid and ourselve5 desperately wanting to recommence our children and youth clubs, our community café and parent and toddler groups etc as well as being able to meet face to face as a worshipping community we found ourselves to be in a predicament as the building was now being occupied as a Foodbank and Second-Hand White Goods/Household Items Provision, whose services were still very much needed. In order to get around this we decided the best way was to rent storage space to store good donations of second-hand household items and white goods and also convert our cellar in order to make it into a useable space. As people were getting back to work again, we also felt that a Community Shop would be the way forward to help with the cost-of-living crisis yet avoid people becoming dependant as they could contribute as they were able. The early part of the year was therefore spent fundraising and the latter part saw the commencement of the artual building work in the cellar which was as good as completed by the end of the year. By March 2022 we were able to recommence many of the services already mentioned and we were now able to start new ones namely the Community Shop and also a ladies fitness club which also occupies cellar space as well as the having freezer space to support our Your Farmer Foodbank which by the end of the year was more simply operating from just two locations the church and also from our previously set up collection point - the sweet shop situated in Warwick town centre. During the year our dedicated volunteers continued to maintain weekly visits to the elderly, the lonely and those known to us with poor mental health to support them with food provision where there was a need but also just to continue providing a welfare check as Covid left many feeling isolated and some had lost confidence socialising and some had lost mobility after many months of lock down and fearing going out. Youth Workers continued visits into the local secondary school to present courses such as the Mental Health Resilience Course called Strong to young people who were struggling. We also worked with another charity Transforming Communities and the five Church of England Churches
in the district to help provide food hampers during the holidays for children eligible for free school meals. We also continued the charl$ commitment to other organisations based in Warwick District and surrounding areas that have a similar ethos to ourselves by making financial contributions to them. Without doubt the chariws success was setting up the first community shop in the area and setting up a fitness club to SUPPOrt ladies on low income as well as being able to start back our many Services and being able to actually worship together again in person. The charity's finances were used to fund the aforementioned activities and to support the upkeep of its building. With respect to the reserves in the Charitys bank accounts these were carried forward into the next financial year in order to meet planned expenditure and imminent bills. {Pastor Linz Alexander) Signed on behalf of The Trustees of New Life Church, Warwick
