Trustees Annual Report for year ending 31[st] January 2023

Achievements and Performance

2022 saw the re-opening of the activities of the church, using the church centre, following the removal of Covid restrictions. When restrictions were lifted, a lease had been negotiated with West Hill High School, for the Sunday morning Church services. However, attendance numbers never recovered to pre-Covid levels, so a decision was made to return to the Church centre in January 2023.

The community activities of the church resumed fully at the Church centre. These activities comprised Treasured Tots (Monday), Breakfast, Engage and a Basic ESOL course (Wednesday), Foodbank and Evening Feast (Thursday).

Church family Connect Groups meet during the week, both in homes and by Zoom. Various prayer meetings met, both at the Church centre and in individual homes during the month.

Staff changes .

A need arose for a sessional worker to work on a Wednesday. Kirsty Gosling was employed, on a sessional basis, commencing on the 12[th] of October 2022.

Community worker

Jo has continued to consolidate her position within the VCFSE Sector, networking and developing partnerships with other groups within the sector. In addition, she continues to research other areas of funding in order to ensure the sustainability of the community outreach work.

Directors .

It is planned to increase the number of directors, seeking candidates with relevant skills. One person has agreed to join, next financial year.

Financial Review

Overall we are extending the work we do both within our own Church and locally. This does mean that we have extended ourselves slightly but we do have plans to recover. Gift Aid is important to us and we have had grants to cover some of our activities. Mission is important to New Life and some 14% is given to support work in Zambia and Romania, along with the international agency Tear Fund.

Registered Charity Number 1145894

On the accounts for the year ended 31[st ] January 2023

Set out on the following pages

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity[l] s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act; and state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 accounts, and seeking explanations from you as 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 accounts 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:

To keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act Have not been met; or
