The principal activities of the church are Christian worship, Christian outreach programmes to increase awareness and to spread the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and the development of the whole man.
Every Year, the charity gets involved in community projects in order to advance the Gospel of Christ and our other principal activities. Christmas Lunch on Jesus (COLJ), This is a project where we work with local councils to donate Christmas Hampers to families recommended by the councils. This is one way we show the love of Christ to the community. Another project that we embark on, is the Elderly people's home (EPH) visit where we visit local Elderly people's homes at least twice a year with gift and during our visit we sing hymns and play games with the residents. Twice a year, We also invite and transport elders in the community to the Charity's office for tea party. These meetings encourage friendships and helps build a stronger community.
For the period of this report, the charity also organised picnics and other outdoor and indoor events to bring people from the community together to fellowship with one another and to share the love of Christ.
We hope to be more involved in our local communities this year and the years ahead. We will continue to work will the local council to offer assistance where required in accordance with our aims and objectives.

RCCG New Life Assembly Independent Examiner's Report for the year ended 31 Jan 2024
I report on the financial statements of RCCG New Life Assembly for the year ended 31st Jan 2024 which comprise the statement of financial activities, the balance sheet, and the related notes. These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out therein.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and independent examiner
As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Basis of independent examiner's statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charities 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(i) 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; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act have not been met; or
(ii) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
