Provide worship, spiritual, emotional support consistent with the beliefs and practices of the Christian faith; Advance the Christian faith according to the principles of the Redeemed Christian Church of God Worldwide. This includes the advancement of education, community service and such other general charitable purposes in such parts of the United Kingdom.
Pursue activities that allow people in Staffordshire (Newcastle-under-Lyme + 50 miles radius) to express their faith, joy in knowing God and to enact and raise awareness of the love of God in the community; to relieve sickness and financial hardship, and promote and preserve good health by the provision of funds, goods or service of any kind through the provision of counselling and support in such parts of the United Kingdom or the world as the RCCG Council, from time to time thinks fit. The Church provides other charitable services, both to its membership and to the community generally. The aim is to show the love of Jesus Christ in both word and deed and to bring people into a closer relationship with Him as living Lord.
Summary of the main activities in relation to these objectives:
- Corporate gatherings for worship, prayer and mutual encouragement. This is central to the work and witness of the church. We have continued to provide well structured, enjoyable services in the year including series of teachings and enrichment seminars during our Sunday and Wednesday services. Prayer life of the church continues in every service and every Friday evenings provide further opportunities for church members to pray together for God’s leading and offer prayer needs for country, community, households, church family and individuals. By popular demand, the time period of our prayer service on Fridays have been extended from 30 to 45 minutes. Our meetings, seminars continue to be open to the public and are advertised through our websites and social media handles as open to the wider community.
Livestream and larger followership: All our worship services (Sundays In-person meetings have continued to be live-streamed over zoom and you tube. This has resulted in an increasing followership and worship community online. Members who could not attend in person service occasionally for various reasons such as being at work, or away on a short term from Newcastle-under-Lyme have also been able to continue to join or catch-up on worship on live or later on demand.
Our mid-week services on Wednesdays and Fridays have continued virtually via zoom. This hybrid mode of worship has enabled the church to:
-
continue to grow and to continue to worship.
-
help and encourage the congregation and wider community.

In the reporting year, several group seminars, social/sport activity events have been held to promote spiritual, physical, and emotional development of young people in the church. Christian books and resources were also given to young people. The highlight of the year for the youth group involved a 5-day camping retreat at Staffordshire showground in August 2022, led by the Elim Church Limitless outreach. This involved over 2000 young people Nationally. Our youth group members who attended had a dedicated service to de-brief their very enjoyable life changing experiences and spiritual encounters to the whole NOLCC church family.

Additional sources of information included the Government website, NHS website, RCCG UK website and Pastors meetings, and Evangelical Alliance / STAR website and meetings.
6. Community engagement & social responsibility and advocacy

We ran the initiative to deliver help to seldom heard groups/underserved individuals in the community in addition to using existing network of social care in Newcastle-under-Lyme council in conjunction with the council, the Aspire housing scheme and another local charity - Home-Start Newcastleunder-Lyme.
The church has continued engagement with council officials, and councillors to network and raise awareness about our charitable work but most importantly to also offer help for key issues. NOLCC continues to engage with churches together in Newcastle-under-Lyme.

Stocks
Stock is included at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Donated items of stock are recognised at fair value, which is the amount the charity would have been willing to pay for the items on the open market.

Notes to the Accounts
Research and development
Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred.
Foreign currencies
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the charity are recorded at the rate of exchange on the date that the transaction occurred.
All exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at net income/expenditure.
Leased assets
Where the charity enters into a lease which entails taking substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of an asset, the lease is treated as a finance lease.
Leases which do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to charity are classified as operating leases.
Assets held under finance leases are initially recognised as assets of the charity at their fair value at the inception of the lease or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet date as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned between finance expenses and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance expenses are recognised immediately, unless they are directly attributable to qualifying assets, in which case they are capitalised in accordance with the charity's policy on borrowing costs. Assets held under finance leases are depreciated in the same way as owned assets.
Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. In the event that lease incentives are received to enter into operating leases, such incentives are recognised as a liability. The aggregate benefit of incentives is recognised as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis.
Pension costs
The charity operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payments obligations. The contributions are recognised as expenses when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.
Receipt of donated goods, facilities, and services
All donated goods, facilities and services received are recognised within incoming resources and expenditure at an estimate of the value to the charity.
