Trustee’s Summary 2020

Like all other churches and charities Sedgley Community Church faced the huge challenge of Covid 19 and the restructuring of church to comply with lock down rules and social distancing.

The church innovated in many ways embracing technology to connect the congregation and continue the mission to introduce people to Jesus.

Mindful of the GDPR rules church used WhatsApp extensively to communicate with everyone quickly and forge a sense of belonging.

All our services went online, Sunday worship was live streamed, prayer meetings hosted on zoom and bible studies videoed and posted. Also, our giving patterns changed as people gave online or by cheque. Our finances held steady, we saw a reduction in expenditure as we no longer had to heat and light the church building.

The time away from the building allowed us to decorate and tidy up our property read for a face-to-face return.

The loss of one of our key leaders Ms Shirley Owen to Covid was a shock to us all and he contribution to our leadership and church will be sadly missed.

The pandemic caused many of our congregation to evaluate their faith and commitment to us as their regular place of worship. We saw over 2020 several people leave our church yet many more connect for the first time online and join our online activities.

The online pathway has proved very successful for us and investment was made in video cameras, streaming equipment and lighting.

Despite the restrictions that Covid brought the church has a very successful year in seeing thousands of new connections online and a more nibble way running certain church activities such and business and prayer meetings. The noted exemption was provision of activities for toddlers, children and young people. This area of the church’s ministry will need focus and dedication to re establish in the future.

Report to the trustees/members of Sedgley Community Church

Registered Charity Number 1052785

On the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020

Set out on the following pages

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity¹s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity¹s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to: examine the accounts (under section 145 of the 2011 Act); follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act); and

state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
