Activities to further our First Objectlve
The relief of unemployment-
During 2024 we have provided a work experience and training programme (Community Wofk Programmel for
unemployed pèople at our 6143 Shaw Heath. Stockport facility which consists of several rented large units.
We have welcomed volunteers to our Programme from various sources. some of whom were'self-referred..
Once a volunteer has completed Ihe inductson process and inltsal assessment. their work experience is desigrsed
to suit each individual's ability and requirements. Many of Ihese people have not been in work for several year5
prior to Iheir comin9 to us.
The work experience we provide is quite varied and 50metlmes involves all departments of our operation or may
just focus on one speciality. The main areas where experience can be gained are..
{a) Fumiture display and showroom sales,
Ib) Logistics {collection and delivery of fumiture and whlle goods},
Ic ) Compulers.
Idl Bric-a-brac sorting and selling of items,

The provision of food and Temporary accommodation-
The Provision of food-
Providing food for homeless unemployed individuals was reassessed at the end of 20181beginning of 2019. As a
result, the weekly 'Drop in, on Sunday afternoons and our 'Slreel Work PTogtamme' on Sunday evenings. bolh
based in Manchester city centre. were suspended. This was due lo an increase in rlsk linked lo these activities,
mainly due lo the spice drug that has had an adverse impact on the atmosphere amongst some of the groups
that we were seeking to reach.
During 2020, we have Commenced an alternative way of PToviding food because of the hardship facing many
families due to the Covi&19 Pandemic. We were able lo provide food hampers and gasleleclric vouchers to
support those on reduced incomes. which included some of our 51aff who were part of the Govemment furfough
scheme. This continued during 2021 and 2022, but this has become less of a priority for the charily and the focus
instead
has
been
on
employment
and
accommodation.
Temporary accommodation:
Temporary accommodation has been a cenlral part of the work of Renewal North West for the benefit of
homeles$ adults. most of which have had a history of alcohol abuse, drug abuse, or are ex-offenders. This has
previously been provided al two locations in Stockport-
For the first phase of the Programme, participants were accommodated In separate basement flats on
the lower floor of our Executive Officer's private residence in Slockporl.
The seeond phase. in the Charity's house nearby.
Providing for this need remains a focus for Renewal North West, but we have been conscious of the developing
needs of individuals referred to lls, along with an increase in risk. During 2021 and 2022. the slralegy for this side
of the work has been developing and during 2022. we were able lo commence use of the flat accommodation
above the cafe. At the end of 2022, we completed on the purchase of a new building to further this work. 26
Buxlon Road. Work on this Pfopety has progressed during 2024. Once this facility is fulty operational, we will be
able lo house and care for another 5 individuals on our residential programme, doubling our Current capacity.
Residents come to us Ihrough variou5 channels. but most often this happens through a referral via the prison
chaplaincy service.
The charity has suspended use of our Executive Officer's private residence for temporary accommodation. as
this no longer aligns with the strate9y and risk tolerances agreed by the Truslees.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Activities to further our ThSrd Objective
Advancement of the Christian Faith:
Our Faith in Christ fomis the essential basis and motivation for everything we do In pursuit of our objectives for
the benefit of olhers. The Lord Jesus, when quoting the prophel Isaiah made His mission clear.. 'The Spirit of the
Lord is upon me. because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel lo the poor., he hath sent me lo heal the
broken hearted, lo preach deliverance to the captives. and recovering of sight to the blind. to set al liberty them
that are bruised, (Luke 4 v 181. We would seek lo follow His example in concem and care for the most
marginalised. It remains our desire whenever possible to enable olhers lo discover the truth about this unique
PeTson and for them to experience the transforming power of a Christ filled life. Our activities that help advance
Ihe Christian faiih are set out below.
Organisational structure and leadership: Our Executive Officer, managers and some key volunteers are all
Christians. seeking to serve God through Iheir roles. Some of these individuals would express a sense of calling
to the work of Renewal North West. As such. both the leadership of the organisation as a whole and Ihe
operation of the functions on a day-toqjay basis are led wilh the priority of advancing the Christian faith.
Christian focus session for volunteers and staff: The first hour of each working day al 6143 Shaw Heath
consists of a session to focus exclusivety on the message of hope available through Jesus Christ. This daily
session is freely available to all volunteers and staff.
The hour is usually divided into segments for singing and watching video dips of Christian songs and a segment
devoted lo a Bible reading and tslk. We have seen that Ihis routine 'sets us up, for each day and is an excellent
way lo facilitate the advancement of the Christian faith.
Free Christian literature provision: Our furniture showroom is used to display literature consisting of Bibles.
portions of scripture and Chrislian leaflels eto These are available to any of our beneficiaries who want them free
of charge. Free literature is sometimes distributed outdoors by individual workers in the Charity.
Personal Chrlstlan testlmony: We also promote the Christiars failh in Ihe most effective way by our supporters
sharing their experiences of how Jesus Christ has transformed their own lives. These one-to-one witnessing
opportunities often arise in our daY-t{￿daY business as cuslomers browse in our showroom. Stories of freedom
from drug or drink dependency because of God's power in an individual, certainly serve to advance the Christian
failh.
Systematic Bible teaching: Volunteers often benefit from regular systematic teaching sessions which are often
presented in video format followed by opportunity for dis¢us5ion. These sessions certainly help the participants to
develop in the Christian faith.
Cafe: Adjacent to our fumiture showroom, our ¢afe.'Refresh' is a facility for us to meet people from Ihe
communty and informalty share Ihe message ofthe gospel.

Achleyements In 2024 related to our objective5
First Objg¢tA¢hievements-The reliet of unemployment
Throughout 2024, 22 individuals have been provided with work experience and skills developmenl to support
them back into work.
Throughout 2024, 11 indivlduals have been employed through Renewal NW. This has brought each individual
renewed hope and a transformed lrfe. For many, this has meant for Ihem a break in long lemi benefit
dependency thus representing a saving to the Public Purse in benefit payments. They had discovered Ihat a
fixed routine and meaningful occupatlon of time helped self-esleem mofe than time spent unoccupied at home.
Residential Programme:
Changes required to the resldentlal programme
As referred to In our 2020 report. we had undet1aken a risk assessment of the residential programme and in
¢onjunetion wlth planning for the future. identified the following-
The increased complexity of need has led us to decide that the arrangement of accommodation being
provided in self-conlained units within our Executive Officer's own home is no longer an appropriate
solution for this aspect of the work.
A probation officer has indicated that a more suitable arrangement for the work would be an independent
slaffed arrangement
The Strategy for the work developed during 2021 and 2022 which includes refurblshment of the flat
above the cafe to provide temporary accommodation and purchase of a propety a new building to
further this work, 26 Buxton Road. The flat was completed during 2022. as was the purchase of 26
Buxton Road. Work to develop the Buxion Road property has continued during 2024.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Third Object Achievements - The advancement of the Chrlstlan Faith
It is very ¢Jifficult to quantify achievements in relation lo this third object simply because the outcome of believing
faith in the Lord Jesus is a work of God, bul it is important to note the following..
Our responsibility is to preach-, the Lord Jesus said 'Go ye into all the world. and preach the gospel,
(Mark 16 v 15}. The aclivily of making the gospel message known brings glory to the Lord Jesus and
effectively is advancement of the Christian faith.
There is always evidence of saving faith in the Lord Jesus. Tltus 3 v 5 describes it as 'lhe washing of
regeneration, literally meaning to be bom again. It is the act of God's Holy Spirit whereby new life is
implanted in a person and bring5 about a radical change be￿een what they were before salvalion and
the life after becoming a Christian.
Individuals who become Christians would speak of their salvalion.. 'if thou shalt confess wilh thy mouth
the Lord Jesus. and shalt believe in thine heart thal God halh raised him from Ihe dead, Ihou shalt be
saved. (Romans 10 v 91
Daily Christian focus session for volunteers and staff: We have shown numerous videos of Christian songs
and delivered many messages to present the truth of the Christian faith in these sessions. The positive response
from many of the individuals who have attended bears testimony to the effectiveness of these times toward the
advancemenl of the Christian faith. Certain people have confessed how that learning more about the Chrislian
faith presented in this format. has convinced them of 115 veracity. During 2024. 253 sessions were held (for each
working day). generally18sling 1 hour and on average attended by 20 volunteerslemployees,. based on average
attendance. 5,060 hours were covered. In addition to these formal times. many informal conversations and one-
t¢H)ne discussions 'on the job. have taken place belween Christian managers and volunteers during Ihe year.
Dlstribution of Bibles and Christian Ilterature: Bible5 and Christian literature are available free of charge at
61-63 Shaw Heath and Ihese items are taken regularly. Genuine Christian faith can only grow after germination
of the 'living' Word of God.
Systematlc Blble study: Some volunleers have benefited again thls year by participating in thematic and
onseculive Bible teaching sessions. This teaching was provided under the auspices of our Executive Officer
Wesley Downs. Regular local ChU￿h attendance for these individuals also provided opportunrties for knowing
more about Christian topics.
Both these openings for leaming have bome p0511ive results. witnessed by Ihe changed behaviour and attitude of
these ft)rmer offenders. These changes provide evidence that the Christian faith has advanced in their lives
resulting in langible Public Benefit.
'Refresh' Cafe: We sold 6,261 hol drinks during the year. As well as meeting a need in the a￿a. Ihe cafe also
provides a venue for members of the public to drop in and engage with the message of the Christian gospel
Ihrough informal conversation.
Social medla: We reached 20.444 people through social medla. which also glves the opportunity for them to
engage with the message of the Christian gospel.
Human resources
Renewal North We$l's vision is lo transform lives and bring hope through Jesus Christ, so people and their live5
are at the forefront of everything we do. We seek lo show every individual person who comes thfough our doors
the love of God in real. personal and practical ways.
We believe our wotk is about Telalionships and not things and so we endeavour to treat every person the same,
with no person deemed more important than any other from the Executive Officer lo the newest volunteer. We
want to be a place where people feel loved, cared for and respected.
We offer our employees multiple benefit5, such as offering them an exlra day off on their birlhdays, so that they
can share Ihat day as they wish.

Auditorfs responsibilities for the audlt ot the flnanclal statements
We have been appointed as auditor under seclion 144 of the Charilies Act 2011 and report in accordance with the
Act and relevant regulations made or having effect the￿under.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financlal statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement. whether due to fraud or error. and to Issue an audilorfs report that ineludes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance bul is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with ISAS (UK} will a￿ayS delect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstalemenls can arise from fraud or
error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate. they could reasonably be expected lo influence
the economi¢ decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, 1$ detailed below.
Irregularltles. Indudlng fraud. are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in
line with our responsibilities. outlined above, to delecl material misstalemenls in respect of irregularities, including
fraud. The extent to which are procedures are capable of detecting iffegulaflties. including fraud is detailed below=
Our approach was as follows..
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the entity by discussion
with key personnel and consideration of our experience of this and similar seetors.
We detemiined that the most significant laws and regulations which have a direct impact on the form and content of
the financial statements of the enlity are the Companies Act. Charities Act and UK GAAP. specifically FRS102 and
the Charities SORP.
We determined that the most Slgnifieanl opèrational laws and regulatlons for the entity are those relating to
safeguarding. health and safety, food hygiene and retail regulations.
Based on the results or our risk assessment we designed our audit procedures to identify non<ompliance with such
laws and iegulations identified above. with no issues arising.
We gained an understating of the entity's poliGy and procedures by discussion with key personnel and substantive
audit work.
We assessed the rlsk of material misstatement in respect of fraud through our planning processes, and no
significant risks were identified.
We considered the risk of fraud through management override and, in response, we incorporated testing of manual
loumal entries into our audit approach.
Based on the results of our risk assessment we designed our audit procedures to identify and to address material
mlsstalements in relation lo fraud.
A further descTrption of our responsibilities 15 available on the Financial Reporting Council's websile at https.'Il
