Charity number 1052050 ## **New Life Church Ripon Independent Examiner's Report for the year ended 31 July 2023** I report on the financial statements of the New Life Church Ripon for the year ended 31 July 2023. ## **Respective Responsibilities of the Trustees and Examiner** As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. You consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Charities Act") and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: - examine the financial statements under sections 145 of the Charities Act; - to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Report** My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the financial statements present a "true and fair" view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. ## **Independent Examiner's Statement** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: - (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements: - to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and - comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or - (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached. ## ~~tbset~~ **Mrs R Buckley** ey ## **1 Call Accountants Ltd** The Studios Colorado Way Castleford WF10 4TA 31 May 2024 ## **New Life Church Ripon Charity Information for the year ended 31 July 2023** **Charity Name:** New Life Church Ripon **Charity Number:** 1052050 **Principle Address:** New Life Church 28 Water Skellgate Ripon North Yorkshire HG4 1BH **Trustees:** Mr G Royle Mr M Lewindon Mr N Thompson Mrs K Lewindon Mrs M Gericke Mrs M Thompson Mrs M Royle **Independent Examiner:** 1 Call Accountants Ltd The Studios Castleford West Yorkshire WF10 4TA ## **New Life Church Ripon Trustees' Annual Report for the year ended 31 July 2023** The Trustees of New Life Church Ripon (charity number 1052050) present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2023. ## **Structure, Goverance and Management** The organisation is a charity governed by constitution and trust deed, adopted on 9th October 2007. The charity was previously known as the Assembly of God Pentecostal Church. New trustees are appointed by the board of trustees after a short induction process. ## **Objectives and Activities** Holiding of Christian Meetings. Teaching of Christian Truths in person and online, locally and to interested persons. Pastoral Care and Equipping of Ordinary People to do ExtraOrdinary Things. Small Groups in Member's Homes. Social Action to people in need. Making the charity building available to other charity and comminity use. ## **Achievements and Performance** The charity is currently looking to sell the charity building. The pastors have both been made redundant at 30th April 2023. One pastor was paid their one month's notice in May 2023 and agreed to wait until til sale of the building to be paid their redundancy pay. The second pastor agreed to wait for his two month's severance pay and redundancy payment to be paid once the building has sold. The charities reserves are being used to fund this objective. ## **Financial Review** The charity's statement of assets had decreased in the year by £7331. This is due to a reduction in income during the year. The trustees have chosen short term deposit accounts to minimise the risk to the charity's funds. The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees' report above.
