The Charities Commission requires the trustees to prepare financial statements that show a true and fair state of the charities financial position which we have sort to do, presenting figures clearly so our members can see how the charity is placed financially.
- Review of the Year.
We have sort to maintain our weekly programme of Worship services at 10.30am (during this service we have a Sunday school for Children) and 6.30pm on Sunday, with a Bible study and Prayer meeting on Wednesday evening. A toddler group is run on a Thursday morning at 10.00am. Once a month we hold a Tuesday Lunch. Games evenings are held from time to time to introduce new people to the Church. A small number of Asylum seekers attend and we are trying to help with language translation where possible. All these activities are open to all to attend.

- Voluntary Help
The trustees are very appreciative of the generous support of the church members in terms of help both time and financial without which the charity could not function as it does. Signed on behalf of the Trustees of Chorley Evangelical Free Church.
