Para 1.20 | • Citywide engagement with other charitable organisations to make a difference to many people in the city in areas of homelessness, food poverty, evangelistic initiatives • Community Christmas event called, ‘Christmas at Riverside’, which served over 100 families from the immediate community by providing free food, refreshments, carols, activities for children etc. During the same season we also supplied Christmas hampers to deprived families in the community. • As a church we also actively connect with ‘Love Southampton’ which is an initiative put together to serve the city of Southampton and this was very effective especially when the pandemic affected many people in the city. • We continued to give over 10% of our income to support other charitable organisations which varied from protecting children, to sharing the Christian message around the world. We supported the following organisations: One By One, Martis Productions (formerly, E-quip Arts) and Compassion UK. • Our Senior Minister was invited to sit on the steering team of the local community which puts the church at the centre of decision making which affects how we serve the local community. • We had 80+ members on our records during 2021-2022, and this continues to be the case into the 22- 23 period. |

Respective The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in responsibilities of accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Act and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
Basis of independent My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given examiner’s statement 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.
Independent In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my examiner's statement attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act or
-
the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
