TRUSTEES’ REPORT
The trustees present their report for the year ended 31 December 2020.
Aims and purposes
The Trust was established by Trust Deed on 23 June 2002 primarily for the advancement of the Christian religion and religious education and the advancement of education in the provision of youth and children’s work in the Parish of Green Street Green and Pratts Bottom.
Objectives and activities
When considering the Trust’s current and future activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the specific guidance on charities for the advancement of religion.
Since 2007, a donor who wishes to remain anonymous (but who is known to the Revd. Susan Atkinson-Jones) has, from time to time, offered the Parochial Church Council (“PCC”) of the Parish (‘The Parish’) of Green Street Green and Pratts Bottom (St Mary’s with All Souls) to meet certain amounts invoiced by suppliers in respect of improvements for St Mary’s Church and Church Centre. The PCC have been pleased to accept these offers. The PCC and the Trust also agreed to this donor’s request that, rather than having invoices for these various costs addressed directly to the Parish or to the donor by the suppliers concerned, either of which would have involved more people knowing the identity of the donor, the Parish would arrange for the invoices concerned to be addressed to the Trust which in turn would be put in funds by the donor to meet the costs involved.
Review of the year
During 2020, the Trust received £41,482 (2019 - £Nil) of unrestricted funds’ donations from the anonymous donor. The trust also received £15,432 (2019 - £Nil) of unrestricted funds’ donations from the Parish.
During 2020, the Trust expended £52,600 (2019 - £Nil) on a refreshing project for the Lady Chapel at St Mary’s Church. This involved glazing in the Lady Chapel and also renewing its heating.
Trustees
The trustees throughout the year ended 31 December 2019 were David W Bridger and Danny Hodder. Revd Karl Carpani resigned during 2019. Revd Susan Atkinson-Jones was appointed with effect from 6 January 2020.
David W Bridger, one of the trustees, keeps records of financial transactions.

THE PARISH OF GREEN STREET GREEN AND PRATTS BOTTOM YOUTH TRUST
Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of The Parish of Green Street Green and Pratts Bottom Youth Trust
I report on the accounts of the trust for the year ended 31 December 2020 which are set out on pages 2 to 4.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The Charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity’s 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
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145 (5) (b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
to 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 Commission.
The 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 matters have come to my attention:
-
(1) which give 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; or
-
To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
-
have not been met; or
-
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
