Section D
Achievements and performance
Summary of the main
achievements of the charity
during the year
As a church we recognise the importance of community and have
become more and more aware of the number of lonely and isolated
people in Newquay. As a result we host a once a month Sunday morning
event at our local orchard and barlrestaurant where people are invited to
get together simply for a coffee and chat.
We have continued working with Twos Company which is a project
designed to reach the elderly and isolated in their homes. All volunteers
are trained, DBS checked and given safeguarding training to simply have
a cup of tea and a chat, either by a physical visit or a phone call once a
week.
We have been involved in the Cornwall Christmas Box appeal and
hosted a Christmas family event at a local barlrestaurant which included
children's crafts, quiz and band and carols. We also ran an Easter Trail
event at our local orchard.
We have given money to local and global charities including relief for the
risis in the Middle-East, poverty in Nepal, and the Pot Noodle ministry
and The Foodbank in Newquay. We have provided practical care and
support for parents with newborns, for family emergencies, and for
people suffering with physical and mental health conditions.
We also ran several courses including The Marriage Course, The
Marriage Preparation Course, and The Alpha Course. We have assisted
many people in learning more about Jesus, the Bible, and the Christian
faith, and given people practical tools for flourishing in family life.

Section E
Financial review
We have a reserve of £2000 which we are continuing to review alongside
our updated reserves policy. We do not have any grants or owe any
money to a third party. We currently hold both restricted funds and
designated funds in the hope we will one day own our own building.
Brief statement of the
charity's policy on reserves
Details of any funds materially
in deficit
Further financial review detsils (Optional infomiation)
The previous issues with our landlord not providing invoices within the
correct financial year has now been fully resolved.
In preparing the 2024 accounts it came to light that over the months of
Dec'23-April'24 (tax year 23-24) there was an issue with the figures that
had been entered into Sage Payroll. In trying to move the year on and
realising Payroll had previously been set up incorrectly the figures were
cleared for these months and re-entered incorrectly which meant they did
not match what had already been paid from the bank account, this
resulted in a difference of £296.28 extra having been physically paid
compared to what was put through Payroll.
Having discussed this together, considering all implications, and also with
outside advice we have made a unanimous decision not to ask Declan to
repay this money, the main reason being that Declan queried an increase
in his wage in March'24 and we confirmed that the amount was correct.
Furthermore, Declan is not employed as a trustee and also the issue
occurred within the previous tax year 23-24. As a trust we made the
mistake and feel it unfair to cause Declan any financial stress or worry in
trying to find the funds to repay it.
Declan has not been involved in any of these discussions and decisions
as this would clearly be a major conflict of interest.
Payroll has since been working correctly and do not foresee any further
issues.

Blaze Church Newquay Trust Independent Examiners Report 

I report to the trustees of Blaze Church Newquay Trust on my examination of the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024. 

## Responsibilities 

As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). 

## Basis of Examination 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the trust and a comparison of the accounts prepared using those records. An examination will also consider any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, seeking explanations from the trustees regarding any such issues. 

An independent examination is not an Audit and as such, no opinion is given as to whether the accounts show a ‘true and fair view’. 

## Independent Examiner’s statement 

I have completed my examination.  I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- �. the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or 

- �. the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- �. the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
