Promoting the knowledge of God and Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah as set forth in the Bible (both Old and New Testament)
-
Providing a place of fellowship for worship, study and teaching of biblical knowledge and celebrating biblical festivals
-
Supporting the religious and charitable work of Bible believing fellowships, organisations and individuals in the United Kingdom and overseas
-
Promoting the knowledge among Christians of the teaching of the Bible concerning Israel's place in the purposes of God
-

PUBLIC BENEFIT STATEMENT

Achievements and Performance
Summary of the charity achievements for this period as related to its Objects.
TRAINING & EQUIPPING
No official requirements for training this period.
REGULAR TEACHINGS
This consisted of worship, teachings and fellowship focused on the key biblical periods observed throughout the year.
Sustaining services even in the face of financial strain, we were able to maintain our core services, including prayer ministries, and support sessions. This was made possible by our committed volunteers who could still participate, and the small but generous contributions from some of our most dedicated supporters.
OTHER EVENTS AND MENTIONS
Stories of transformation even in hardship, God’s hand was at work in the lives of those we served. We saw families strengthened, individuals renewed in their faith, and new believers confirming their faith.

KEY CHALLENGES
-
Our biggest challenge this year was the severe reduction in financial contributions. Many of our regular donors faced personal financial struggles and were unable to give at the levels they had in the past. We are grateful for every donation, big and small, but the overall drop in funding has been significant, impacting our ability to deliver services at the capacity we’d hoped.
-
Many of our faithful volunteers were unable to continue serving due to health concerns, family commitments, or other personal difficulties. The loss of this support meant some of our regular activities had to be scaled back or paused entirely.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)
At One New Man, we have Covid-19 risk assessment processes in place for all areas of our charity activities. Examining each part of the charity and fellowship in accordance with Government guidelines on managing the risk of coronavirus.
Through the risk assessment process and (future) application when required:
-
We will take all reasonable steps to help and support people by holding fellowship meetings online where physical meetings are not possible
-
We will apply enhanced cleaning regimes
-
We will encourage handwashing and hygiene procedures in line with Government guidance, supply essential products and promote this via communications
-
We will take all reasonable steps to maintain recommended distances between people at meetings
-
Where people are unable to observe this, we ensure we have done everything we can to manage the risk of transmission (provision of masks, sanitisation lotion)
We will continue to monitor and reassess the risks associated with our operations and will make changes and improvements where we can.
The health, safety, and wellbeing of all associated with our charity and fellowship is at the forefront of our decision making.

Financial Review
The income of the charity is below £10,000; derived from donations and offerings from regular attendees and visitors. Year on year costs were effectively managed over this period and are in line with the final surplus and reserves policy.
Costs for period remain within targets in terms of ensuring the majority of funds are allocated to support activities and charitable giving.
No fund is in deficit and it is the agreement that any operations are run in such a way that a deficit should not occur.
At this time and immediate future, we do not foresee any significant impact on financial operations. However, impact has been seen via a reduction in donations, where regular contributors might encounter financial difficulties, loss/reduction of income and general cost of living increases.
RESERVES POLICY
It is the agreement of the charity trustees to maintain unrestricted funds, which are the reserves of the charity at about 3 months of unrestricted expenditure. This provides sufficient funds to cover any emergency expenditure that may arise from time to time. The charity will seek to maintain this level throughout the year. This agreement will be formalised in to policy as the work of the charity progresses and financial practices require.
As reviewed, this already accounts for situations such as COVID-19.
RISK MANAGEMENT
The charity has assessed all the major risks to which the charity is exposed, in particular those related to operations and finances of the charity, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to major risks.
As outlined in previous section, this includes management of activities and considerations for UK Government and HSE guidelines as previously related to COVID-19.
