We will run a programme of residential and non-residential inter church events all serviced by volunteers. The festival is built around three core themes : 1. Feast - A spirit of celebration across generations, churches and religions where we will develop and deepen community, opening up our hearts and lives to one another around food, fun and fire. 2. Family - Creating an accessible environment for families where all ages can be catered for in intentional and focused wayes while enjoying the wider dynamic of a family of families. 3. Fire - A whole-hearted pursuit of Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit, crying out to God to come and move in our island once again. Objectives Public Benefit An improved sense of wellbeing for those attending our camps and events as they enjoy fellowship with others and receive teaching from the Bible. The promotion of Christian values for the benefit of individuals, with those attending our events encouraged to adopt a moral framework where they are good citizens. Spiritual benefits as commonly understood within a Christian Faith. Spiritual, moral and intellectual development of any member of the public who attends our events through the teaching of the Bible. The development of skills, knowledge and capabilities of the volunteers who are involved in running our events. The promotion of citizenship and the need to give back to the community to all who attend these events. The encouragement of those who live in the locality of the churches involved as they participate in activities organised by us. The entertainment of children and young people through the provision of activities in a safe environment with a Christian ethos. All of the above benefits will be demonstrated through feedback from our attendees, their families, our volunteers and the general public within the local community areas who attend our events. We do not anticipate that any harm will flow from any of the above purposes.

## Review of Activities, Achievements and Performance 


**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>
Nua attracted approx.1700 people of all ages over the 2024 and 2025 Festival at the Northfield site in Newcastle. As<br>in previous year this was a wonderful time of celebration and spiritual fellowship. There is a wonderful spirit of unity as<br>people from a variety of church backgrounds come together to worship God and enjoy one another's company. All<br>ages were catered for through the weekend with specific kids and youth ministries and yet there were beautiful<br>moments of intergenerational mixing through family worship times and a large feast together on the Saturday<br>afternoon. This year felt particularly poignant as one of our main sessions focused on reconciliation, as we heard<br>stories of forgiveness by those who suffered through The Troubles.<br>It takes about 150 volunteers to make the festival run smoothly and we are indebted to them for their service.<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>

## STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. 

The law applicable to charities in Northern Ireland requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities and financial position of the charity as at the financial year end date and of the surplus or deficit of the charity and otherwise comply with the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008. 

- In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: - select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; - observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP - make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- State whether the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable accounting standards, identify those standards, and note the effect and the reasons for any material departure from those standards; and 

- - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the above requirements in preparing the financial statements. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act (Northern Ireland) 2008. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
