- Board of Trustees Report to Members 2021 Chairman's Remarks
This report relates to the year ended December 31[st] . 2020.
When I wrote my remarks for the 2019 report, no one could foresee the extent to which the coronavirus pandemic would change our lives and the ways in which it would impact on Alington House.
Towards the middle of 2020, it looked as though things would be returning to normal, but how wrong we were, with a local lockdown in the North East counties in the autumn, followed by a further period of national restrictions. It is only now, in the middle of 2021, with the lifting of all restrictions that we can properly begin to pick up the pieces and make a fresh start.
Our Board of Trustees managed to oversee the work and finances of Alington house, receiving regular reports and updates from Alan, Debra, and myself. Unfortunately, after March 2020 it was not possible to hold meetings. We managed to remain in touch by email, but it wasn't the same.
After March, all of our activity sessions ceased, room hire was suspended, and only some counselling services remained.
I don't know what position we would find ourselves in if it was not for the endeavours of Alan and Debra Barnett. Their commitment to Alington House was unwavering and they did everything possible to keep it ticking over ready for when the time came to reopen. A huge thank you to them both.
I am grateful once again for the work of our volunteers during the limited opportunities available.
I am pleased to have had the opportunity to support Alington House for another year. I take pride in the fact that (unlike some concerns) we were not defeated and stand ready for the future.
David Thurlwell Chair to the Trustees.

Having satisfied myself that an audit is not required for this year under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and that an independent examination is needed, It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
-
Basis of independent My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions
-
examiner’s statement 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 or 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 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 In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to
-
examiner's statement my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: • accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; or • the accounts do not accord with such records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with relevant accounting requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 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; or
-
•the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS102).
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.
