Trustees' Annual Report for the period From 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025. Charity name: Rugby United Pentecostal Church Charity registraton number: 1177300
The charity has operated according to the agreed terms and conditions of the Trust Deed. The subgroup has continued to be efficient and have consulted with the trustees on a regular basis. Church affairs continue to run smoothly and church services are regular in person. The benefits of virtual communication are retained, to cater for those unable to attend due to sickness. So we continue to meet the needs of the congregation and community. Virtual means are used to connect those people that have visited the church and live outside of Rugby and because of working patterns and travel times would not make it to church on time. The family from Columbia that were members of the church and relocated to Columbia continue to connect to the service virtually as and when convenient to them.
The main source of funding remains as tithes and offering and the Good to Give claim from the Inland revenue. The local ballet school continues operating and is stable. We continue to rent out at very reasonable rates the church hall to this school. The ballet school remains a reliable source of income and we expect that they will continue to be so in the future. The church hall is also used for functions as they arise.
The beginning of the year prayer rally was held open to the community.
Sadly we have had funeral at the church of the pastor’s husband Bro. Tony Frater. Several ministers attended the church to preach and support the pastor after the passing of her husband.
We had a joyful time with the wedding of Pastor Yvonne Frater’s daughter.
We have spent substantial amounts of money carrying out roof repairs and laying down block paving surrounding the outside of the church building.
Work has now been completed on the stained glass window repair and wire mesh has been erected to protect the glass windows in the church building.
We have carried out Christenings ( baby dedications). We put on a Christmas dinner at the church open to the community and it was very well attended.
The sub- group - the church board - reviews these sources of income on a regular basis.
The church expenditure has remained in line with expectations.
The balances in the deposit and current account are healthy at a total of £40730.81, and in case of emergency it is also at a healthy level to maintain the building and the requirements of the church.

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 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.
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:
-
a. to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
-
b. 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.
