Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31[st] December 2025

The Financial Report for the year ended December 2025 is herewith presented. The financial statement has been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out on page 9 and comply with the charity trust deed and the recommendations of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting and Reporting by Charities and complies with the applicable law.

Objectives of the Charity, Principal activities and Organisation of our work.

The Chapel Norwich is a parish of The Redeemed Christian Church of God which has parishes all over the world. RCCG The Chapel Norwich was constituted as a charity in its own right and is therefore governed by the charities Act 1993.

We have laid out RCCG The Chapel Norwich Objectives under six themes:

To teach the sound word of God, leading to result oriented prayers.

To further the advancement of Christian faith and relief of poverty

To organize children and youth activities and educating them to promote unity in the course of developing deeper spiritual growth.

To offer facilities to the community that promotes social inclusion.

To work in cooperation with other Christian organization and support events to achieve Christian aims and objectives.

Weekly visit to local care homes and nursing homes.

Development, activities and achievements this year.

There were significant developments in 2025, notably the fire at the Charity’s building at 193 Plumstead Road, Norwich, NR1 4AB, on 27[th] April 2025. The fire was so devastating that all the Charity’s assets were destroyed. This has had a significant impact on regular Sunday worship attendance and donations. However, the Charity has continued its activities by hiring facilities in the neighbourhood and has launched an appeal fund to raise money to rebuild the Church and Community Centre.

In 2025, RCCG The Chapel Norwich became a provincial headquarters, with over 29 parishes under its overseership. Following the fire, all midweek church

activities moved online, while Sunday worship services continued in rented premises. We also continued to plant new parishes in Norwich.

Future Developments

Our immediate priority is to rebuild the church building and community centre destroyed by fire. An appeal fund has been launched to raise additional funds, as the insurance settlement is insufficient to meet the full cost of a replacement building. The trustees and management team are actively raising funds and working with architects to develop the building design and submit a planning application for the proposed replacement facility. We also aim to build capacity so that more people can continue to benefit from the Charity’s work.

The Prayer Walk Scheme for the City of Norwich continues, with ongoing prayers offered for peace, prosperity, salvation and freedom for all people in the local and national communities.

We continue to work with Tesco to provide weekly food supplies for people experiencing homelessness in the community, and we expect this support to continue for the foreseeable future.

Financial results and future activities

Membership has been challenging following the fire and the subsequent appealfund campaign. Attendance has halved since the incident and, as a result, donations have reduced significantly. We are following up with members and encouraging them to return. We have, however, been greatly supported by sister parishes and by former beneficiaries of the Charity who no longer live in Norwich, but who continue to contribute to the appeal from their various locations worldwide. We hope this support will continue until the building works are completed.

We look forward to 2027 with optimism and anticipate significant progress towards the rebuilding programme.

Risk Management.

The trustees have examined the principal strategic, business and operational risks facing the Charity and confirm that systems are in place to provide regular reports, enabling timely action to be taken to mitigate those risks. These procedures are reviewed regularly to ensure that they continue to meet the Charity’s needs.

Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statement.

Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity’s financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:

Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; Make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; State whether applicable Accounting Standards and Statements of Recommended Practices have been followed subject to any departure disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.

Volunteers.

Many volunteers give their time to support the work of the church, particularly at weekends and in the evenings. The trustees are grateful for their commitment and ongoing support.

(remember to include the page numbers of additional sheets)

Respective The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. responsibilities of The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year trustees and examiner 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 accounts under section 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 My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given examiner’s statement 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 accounts, 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 accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

Independent In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
examiner's statement (other than that disclosed below *) 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; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
- have not been met; or
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
