Section D Achievements and erformance p

Summary of the main We are pleased to say that the One World Hub, that operates from our achievements of the charity premises each Tuesday, during the day through to Friday continues to during the year provide a base for much needed help to isolated and vulnerable adults from within the Oldham community.

For most of the year 2023, the chapel's cafe has also been open to those in need on Sunday mornings throughout the year. However, due to volunteer shortages and other issues this has been discontinued. This Christmas with support from Action Together (Oldham), we were able to host on Christmas Day, breakfast, and lunch for over a forty people who were referred to us as being in need. A Christmas gift to each guest was also provided.

lso, the Oldham Folk Club, organised by the minister, meets on the third Thursday of each month. As previously stated, other evening activities, include the use of the building by a Pentecostal congregation and a Zen Buddhist group.

The chapel has a website and a Facebook page, the folk club also has a Facebook page, these are kept up to date by the minister as we continue reach out to the community.

The building interior, exterior and the chapel grounds remain well maintained. We invest in maintaining and continually seeking to improve the fabric of the building.

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.

REPORT TO THE MEMBERS ON THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 December 2023 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:

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 2023.

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:

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.
