Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
The life of our Unitarian Chapel began at the start of 2020 in the usual way, our premises being well used both for worship and community activities. The One World Hub, the chapel-based organisation providing day care for vulnerable adults with learning difficulties, continued each Tuesday through to Friday.
Every Monday the food bank and our One World Cafe was open to those in need, providing social support as well as much needed food supplies for families. This weekly project was undertaken in partnership with the local charity, Ukeff.
During the evenings the chapel continued to host meetings of the local Zen Buddhist group, and the autism charity, OSCA. Further to this, we continued to share our chapel with a Romanian Pentecostal church. Worshipping separately from the Unitarian congregation, they had use of the premises both on Sundays and Wednesday evenings.

You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about:

Section D Achievements and erformance p
Summary of the main The main achievements of our chapel, within the past twelve months, achievements of the charity should be considered in the light of the COVID-19 restrictions that came during the year into force from 23rd March 2020. We are pleased to say that the One World Hub continues to provide a base for much needed help to isolated and vulnerable adults from within the Oldham community. The building remains in regular use although restrictions have not allowed such activities as the weekly food bank or the One World Folk Club meeting on the third Thursday of each month. Again, because of the current restrictions, with the exception of worship, the chapel is currently not available for casual use including during the evening. However, the building interior, exterior and the chapel grounds remain well maintained. Our main achievement, taking everything into account is that we are pleased to announce with some pride, confidence and gratitude, that through our commitment to regular weekly worship and service to the community, we are well placed to weather the uncertainties of the immediate future.

OLDHAM UNITARIAN CHAPEL including the One World centre
REPORT TO THE MEMBERS ON THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2020 set out on pages 9 to 11.
Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
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”).
The charity’s trustees consider an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the 2011 Act, and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility as independent examiner to:
-
~ examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act
-
~ follow the applicable 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 Examiners Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the Directions given 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 of 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 accounts.
Independent Examiners Statement
I have completed my examination for the year ended 31 December 2020.
I can 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:
-
~ accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act or
-
~ the accounts do not accord with the accounting records to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
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.
