Section D Achievements and performance
**Summary of the main** The Birmingham Lighthouse is committed to enabling as many people as **achievements of the charity** possible to access worship and services are streamed on social media **during the year** platforms for those who are unable to attend worship in the building. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer, scripture, music and fellowship. When planning our activities for the year, we are mindful to consider opportunities to serve the local community. We have been successful in welcoming new families into the church and have seen a growth and development in our outreach and ministry to children. We have in place a strong safeguarding policy which is reviewed annually. All arrangements are regularly reviewed.
In regards to income when extraordinary income from 2020 is removed, the income for 2021 has remained remarkably stable – there is still a strong base of those committed to the purpose and aims of the trust to ensure that income is stable. As well as the mortgage being a major expense so to is the stipends given to the senior members of the ministry team – again this reflects the aims and goals in ensuring that there is leadership and teaching that will keep the trust true to its mandate. Extraordinary costs, as with last year, are A/V equipment coupled with building supplies and reflect the desire of the trust to equip itself and be in the best position to expedite the purpose the trust is in existence. Utilities are a major cost and hopefully can be reduced – part of the Covid 19 strategy within the trust was to keep the meeting place well-ventilated when in use. This ventilation increased the costs incurred in keeping the meetings at a sensible temperature. Finally it should notes that all necessary government legislation was followed pertinent to Covid 19.

responsibilities of The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year
trustees and examiner under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an
independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to=
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities 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 wtth general Directions given
examiner's statement 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 conceming 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 matter has come to my attention
examiner's statement (other than that disclosed below ")
1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect,
the requirements"
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the
Charities Act" and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and
comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
have not been met; or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a
proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
