REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

REVIEW OF PROGRESS AND ACHIEVEMENTS

We are pleased to record another encouraging year at New Life Church Rugby in pursuing the objectives of the Trust. Christian teaching, prayer and worship are at the core of all we do and it is encouraging to see lifes changed as we press on with these priorities. We give thanks that we continue to see an increase in our numbers.

While the Sunday Service remains central to the weekly life of the Church, we also have a number of activities across the week including Life Groups, Youth, Foot Steps and a number of drop in slots for different groups within our church and community. We continue to be involved with Opportunity to Hope, a Christian Charity which supports a number of projects to help those in difficult and challenging situations that require financial help to bring hope.

We anticipate that the forth coming year will add to our visibility to the community and subsequent additions to the church.

In it all, we give thanks to God for what he has given us and the way He suststains what we do. We look forward to developing the work of the Trust in the years ahead.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES

REVIEW OF PROGRESS AND ACHIEVEMENTS

We are pleased to record another encouraging year at New Life Church Rugby in pursuing the objectives of the Trust. Christian teaching, prayer and worship are at the core of all we do and it is encouraging to see lifes changed as we press on with these priorities. We give thanks that we continue to see an increase in our numbers.

While the Sunday Service remains central to the weekly life of the Church, we also have a number of activities across the week including Life Groups, Youth, Foot Steps and a number of drop in slots for different groups within our church and community. We continue to be involved with Opportunity to Hope, a Christian Charity which supports a number of projects to help those in difficult and challenging situations that require financial help to bring hope.

We anticipate that the forth coming year will add to our visibility to the community and subsequent additions to the church.

In it all, we give thanks to God for what he has given us and the way He suststains what we do. We look forward to developing the work of the Trust in the years ahead.

BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT

----- Start of picture text -----
My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given 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 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 the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
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 2011 Act; and
. torequirementsprepare accountsof the 2011whichAct accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting
have not been met; or
2 to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the Accounts to be
