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 2011 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 you as 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 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 - To keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and - • To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act Have not been met; or (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. ## **Signed** _L A Silver_ ## **Date: 25 June 2021** Luke Silver HNC Business & Finance / Accountancy Practitioner Accountancy & Taxation Services 1 Eastcote Road, Tiffield, Towcester, Northamptonshire NN12 8AS ## **WICKFORD CHRISTIAN CENTRE** ## **SUMMARY FOR 2020/21** ||**2019/20**|**2019/20**|**2020/21**|**2020/21**| |---|---|---|---|---| |**INCOME**||||| |Offerings|13,211.89||16,471.00|| |Gift Aid Offerings|53,776.21||49,681.70|| |Gift Aid Tax Repayments|16,145.40||15,189.12|| |Other Income|6,734.49||1,138.00|| |Interest|112.49|**89,980.48**|28.09|**82,507.91**| |**EXPENDITURE**||||| |Ministerial Costs|-38,539.73||-42,732.85|| |Church Building|-15,403.77||-12,112.57|| |Fellowship House|-3,731.62||-4,135.84|| |Church Activities|-7,481.89||-231.17|| |Social Care Support|-942.00||-430.42|| |Missionary Support|-8,415.97||-7,441.40|| |Other Costs|-19,758.64||-13,975.45|| |Building Fund|0.00|**-94,273.62**|0.00|**-81,059.70**| |**BALANCE ACCOUNT**||||| |Brought Forward|86,721.72||82,428.58|| |Income|89,980.48||82,507.91|| |Expenditure|-94,273.62||-81,059.70|| |Balance||**82,428.58**||**83,876.79**| ## **WICKFORD CHRISTIAN CENTRE** ## **INCOME - 2020/21** |**INCOME - 2020/21**||||| |---|---|---|---|---| ||**2019/20**||**2020/21**|| |**INCOME**||||| |General Fund Offerings|13,211.89||16,471.00|| |Building Fund (Log Cabin)|0.00|**13,211.89**|0.00|**16,471.00**| |**Covenanted Gifts**||||| |Building Fund (Log Cabin) - Gift Aid|0.00||0.00|| |General Fund - Gift Aid|53,776.21|**53,776.21**|49,681.70|**49,681.70**| |**Deed of Covenant Tax Repayments**||||| |General Fund|14,095.40||15,051.62|| |Building Fund|0.00||0.00|| |Audio/Visual Fund|1,500.00||0.00|| |Alpha Fund|550.00|**16,145.40**|137.50|**15,189.12**| |**Other Income**||||| |Dynamites|0.00||0.00|| |Tinymites|0.00||0.00|| |Sparks|1,150.84||0.00|| |Parents & Toddlers|841.60||0.00|| |Badminton|549.50||0.00|| |Busybees|200.05||0.00|| |SALT - Youth Club|26.00||0.00|| |New Beginnings|20.00||0.00|| |Care Groups|58.93||0.00|| |Quiz Night|337.00||0.00|| |Young at Heart|521.52||0.00|| |Alpha|270.00||8.00|| |Gifts for Needy|0.00||0.00|| |C Seymour/CAM|219.97||0.00|| |Ruiru Feeding Programme - NLHT|952.00||520.00|| |Men & Women's Breakfast's|655.00||0.00|| |Funerals|558.08||0.00|| |Audio Visual|0.00||0.00|| |Love Offerings & Misc.
