NEW LIFE CHURCH HAMPTON Trustees Report For the year ended 31° August 2025 Achievements and Performance New Life Church Hampton continues to advance the Christian faith in Hampton, Middlesex, and we continue to work on partnering with different organisations to help strengthen and support the families around us. Members with needs have been looked after (both spiritually and practically), and the pastoral team alongside the overseers of each ministry, work together to achieve this. In accordance with the charitvs objectlves, Church servlces are held on Sunday, and include a time of prayer, worship, teaching, preaching and ministry. A prayer meeting is also held every Sunday for one hour before the start of the service. Additional ministries also operate alongside the main meeting for both children and the youth, and a time for fellowship and refreshments is enjoyed by everyone at the end of each service. Events during the week have included the following: worship rehearsals. pastoral meetings and visits, leaders and departmental meetings and prayer and fellowship groups.
Additional events were planned throughout the year to help strengthen the relationships within the Church. and provide outreach opportunities, including: fellowship lunches (both inside the church hall and in the grounds during the summer weather), and at other venues. The Annual 3-Course Christmas Lunch after our Carol Sep41 at the beautifully refurbished Salvation Army Headquarters in Sunbury is always very popular and attracts many guests. Many of our youth were also baptised during the summer and everyone enjoyed the picnic that followed. The entire congregation (including the men. youth and children) were invited to Ruth's surprise baby shower {after the Church service) and included her husband Emmanuel, and family and friends. Planned by her sister-in-law Miria, many of the ladies in the Church (including family members) helped with the set-up, decorations. food, entertainment and party bags for all who attended! The congregation were truly spoiltl The Bible College students, graduation ceremony was held in the autumn, and the new intake will stsrt the course In February 2026. Pastor Tim also met regularly with the other ministers in Hampton (from different denominations) to discuss the needs within the community, and also includes a time of prayer and fellowship. The volunteers in the children's rninistry and the youth are all DBS checked, and we continue to see an increase in the individuals offering to serve in the Church.
Training is ongoing in different areas of the ministry, and the deacons and volunteers work very well together as a team, so that the Church runs seamlessly when we take annual leave. All the ministries are working well with dedicated leaders and helpers, and strong friendships are being formed across all age groups in the Church. Pastor Tirn's sermons are available to view on the website, and he is receiving positive feedback and testimonies, both online and in the Church. In accordance with our mission statement, our heart is to demonstrate the love of God to our family, friends, community, nation, and the third world, through good works that reveal God's love, mercy, and justice. Flnanclal Review The results for the year are shown on the Financial Statements, and show a healthy charity. Our Income was £41,338.00 (£46,762.00- 2024), and expenditure £39,993.00 (£39,255.00- 20241, resulting in a surplus figure of £1,345.00. This does not include the accrued gift aid of £1088.00 (not yet claimed from 19/7125- 31 August 20251, and would therefore increase the true surplus figure to £2,433.00. As a Church, we also tithe a minimum of IO% on all of our gross income. The sum of £4,024.00 represents our donations to other ministries and those in need, both here and in the third world. It is the policy of the charitable organisation that unrestricted funds (which have not been designated for a specific purpose) should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three to six months expenditure.
The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that in the event of a significant drop In tlthes and offerings, they will be able to continue the current activities whilst consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. This level of reserves has been maintained throughout the year. Risk Mana ement The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed, and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. Reserves and Assets The charity has no reserves that are not invested in fixed and current assets. The trustees regularly review the current level of reserves held by the charity, and are satisfied that they are appropriate to its current circumstsnces. Structure Governance and Mana ement New Life Church Hampton is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, and is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission. None of the trustees have any beneficial interest in the organisation, and all of the trustees are members of the organisation and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up. The Trustees report was approved by the Board of Trustees.
