AIMS AND PURPOSE
The PCC has the responsibility of cooperating in promoting within the ecclesiastical parish the whole mission of the Church, pastoral, evangelistic, social and ecumenical. The PCC is also specifically responsible for the maintenance of all the church property within the Ecclesiastical Parish of Kirkby Stephen with Mallerstang, Crosby Garrett and Soulby.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The PCC is committed to enabling as many people as possible to worship at our church and to become part of our parish community. The PCC maintains an overview of worship throughout the parish and makes suggestions on how our services can involve the many groups that live within our parish. Our services and worship put faith into practice through prayer and scripture, music and sacrament.
When planning our activities for the year, we have considered the Commission’s guidance on public benefit and, in particular, the supplementary guidance on charities for the advancement of religion. In particular, we try to enable ordinary people to live out their faith as part of our parish community through:
• Worship and prayer; learning about the Gospel; and developing their knowledge and trust in Jesus.
• Provision of pastoral care for people living in the parish.
- Mission and outreach work.
To facilitate this work, it is important that we continue to maintain the fabric of our Churches.
ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Worship and Prayer
The PCC is keen to offer a range of services during the week and over the course of the year that our community find both beneficial and spiritually fulfilling. Normally Kirkby Stephen Parish Church holds a said service twice a month, a choral service every Sunday, and additional services at times of festival. St Mary’s, Mallerstang has two services a month and St Andrew’s Crosby Garrett has two services a month in the summer and one in the winter. Week-day services are also held in our churches.
All are welcome to attend our regular services. At present there are 105 parishioners on the joint Electoral Roll of our three parishes, an increase of two since last year. The total average weekly attendance, counted during October, was 62 .
As well as our regular services, we enable our community to celebrate and thank God at the milestones of the journey through life. Through baptism we thank God for the gift of life, in marriage public vows are exchanged with God’s blessing and through funeral services friends and family express their grief and give thanks for the life which is now complete in this world and to commend the person into God's keeping. There were six baptisms, nine weddings and 14 funerals in our churches this year.
Kirkby Stephen Parish Church
We shared our church for some 32 years with the Roman Catholic community who held regular services on Saturday evenings or Sunday mornings . Sadly this arrangement came to end in September when a priest was no longer available to say mass in Kirkby Stephen.

We were pleased to continue welcoming Primary School children for Experience Easter, Harvest and Christmas (the Pentecost equivalent was set aside this year because of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee events). Messy Church was postponed, but Carole did assemblies at the school and worked with some of the youngest children. The Primary School also celebrated Easter, Harvest and Christmas with services in church; and a significant group of youngsters from uniformed organisations attended the annual St George’s Day service.
Regular events, such as the ecumenical Remembrance Service and Christmas celebrations (Carols in the Mart, Service of Nine Lessons and Carols, Christingle) were well attended.
St Mary’s Mallerstang
There have been two services a month this year with attendance varying from seven to 16. Although some of our traditional seasonal services did not take place, it was good to welcome the return of our Christmas Anthology service on Christmas Eve.
St Andrew’s Crosby Garrett
Our usual pattern of services has resumed, with a Holy Communion service and evensong each month during the summer; and a monthly Holy Communion service in winter.
Other worship included special services for Mothering Sunday (united service), Palm Sunday, Good Friday, Easter Eve, Queen’s Jubilee (ecumenical), benefice service in July, Deanery Solemn Eucharist for the Transfiguration, Remembrance Sunday (united service), St Andrew’s day, Christmas Eve celebration.
Night Prayer was held at Mains View weekly in Lent and Advent; a monthly Christian Meditation Group has also met at Mains View in most months.
In addition the church bell was tolled to mark the death of Queen Elizabeth and later, for the accession of King Charles. During this time, the church was open for prayer and a Book of Condolence placed in church.
Financial Review
The income and expenditure for the year are shown in the Financial Statements. The charity's financial position remains sound as church life continued to return to normal after Covid. The Treasurer’s Report contains further details.
Reserves Policy
The Trustees recognise that reserves are needed to manage cash flow delays where income arrives later than expenditure. Cash in the bank at any one time is normally sufficient to cover such delays. The Trustees will regularly consider the levels of current and expected income and expenditure and assess the level of cash reserves required to meet any shortfalls in cash receipts over payments.
Approved by the Trustees on 4 May 2023 and signed on their behalf

REPORT ON THE ACTIVITIES OF THE PCC DURING 2022
The PCC met five times during the year for general business and once for the postAPCM short meeting to elect officers. In addition there were two extra meetings focused on future ministry provision.
Finance and fabric issues were discussed at each general meeting and given approval where necessary. Please see other reports for details. Key matters not reported elsewhere in the annual report were:
Future Ministry Provision
The PCC was informed that members had attended Deanery meetings in Appleby to discuss the reorganisation of Benefices. We supported the final decision, that there should be three Benefices. For us that meant that our three churches and Brough/South Stainmore would come together with churches in Ravenstonedale, Orton and Tebay to form a new Benefice. During the year, PCC members and others gradually got to know our new Benefice partners; we worked with them to develop a Benefice Profile and job description for the recruitment of a new Priest-in-Charge, advertised and interviewed for the post and were able to announce the appointment of Canon Brendan Giblin just before Christmas.
Worship and Pastoral Support
We continued to receive reports from our three local retired clergy, Canon Carole Marsden, Revd Jean Wright and Revd Judy Polkinhorn, who continued to lead worship and provide pastoral support across the joint benefice. Lay members of the congregation agreed to read Morning Prayer at some services. New support came from ordinand Charles Cowling as he continued his training.
The PCC were kept in touch with annual services such as the Remembrance Services (Parish Church and ecumenical service in Crosby Garrett) and the return of Mallerstang’s Christmas Anthology service)
The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee was marked with a special service, concert and display. After her death, a formal Book of Condolence was opened in the Parish Church and Primary School children provided an album of local memories which continues to be available.
The PCC were kept informed in the autumn about the withdrawal from our sharing agreement by the Catholic Diocese of Lancaster, which could no longer provide a priest to say mass in church. Clergy, churchwardens and others continue to stay in touch with the dispersed Catholic congregation and pursue contact with the Catholic Diocese to ensure the 32-year old arrangement was ended with care and respect on both sides, and in such a way that it could be revived if ever this became practicable. Fundraising and Social Activities
We celebrated the Queens’ Platinum Jubilee with a fine concert in the Parish Church. Local groups taking part included Kirkby Stephen Silver Band, Kirkby Stephen Church Choir, Upper Eden Community Choir and Kirkby Stephen Young singers. Individuals of all ages also took part to celebrate the occasion. In Crosby Garrett there were a number of community events, including an ecumenical service.
The ‘Gun Club’ continued to meet at Carole’s house; she also started a monthly Sunday lunch in Church House mainly for people living alone.
7
Crosby Garrett’s usual fundraising activities linked to the poultry show had to be cancelled because of bird flu.
Use of Parish Church and Churchyard
A display celebrating the Queens’ Platinum Jubilee took place in the Parish Church. After her death, an official book of condolence was available at the back of church. The PCC also welcomed community events in the Parish Church and Churchyard, including Westmorland Dales Day in July and monthly displays by the Upper Eden History Society.
Duckintree Farm
The PCC working group continued negotiations with the tenants
Church and the Environment
The PCC kept an eye on this issue at its meetings
Reports from beyond the Benefice
The PCC received regular reports from the Deanery Synod, Diocesan Synod and our local Churches Together meetings.
Regulatory Issues
-
Health and Safety risk assessments for each church were carried out and reported on
-
Safeguarding – Our Parish Safeguarding Officer attended Diocesan Safeguarding Training, and a Train the Trainers session. She ran training for PCC members in January 2023. In addition, in May 2023, the PCC reviewed and approved its Safeguarding Policy and thereby its duty to have regard to the House of Bishops’ guidance on safeguarding children and vulnerable adults.

FABRIC REPORT 2022
Kirkby Stephen Parish Church
Three large jobs took place in 2022: high level lighting in the nave and chancel was checked and replaced as necessary. Pointing on the external walls of the south aisle is well underway and will be completed during 2023 when the weather is favourable. The CCTV system was replaced.
Other outside work included refixing of unsteady stone flags on the path from the cloisters to the main church door.
Inside, there are ongoing issues with storage heaters in church and Church House. Our electrician is continuing to investigate. The main heating continued to cause concern. New engineers have been helpful in keeping the system going, but now need to service the main boiler and diagnose and repair problems with the timing device.
Thanks to the team who cut the grass, and lead work at two Boon Days to clear up the churchyard

Ian Allonby Churchwarden
All three churches are waiting for Quinquennial Reports after inspections were carried out in 2021. The Diocese is aware that these are delayed because of the backlog which built up during the pandemic.
APPLEBY DEANERY SYNOD
The Deanery Synod held four meetings in 2022 - on 7 March, 21 June, 28 September and 24 November. The first meeting of 2023 was held on 6 March. Our PCC was represented by Alan Coates, Martin Holdgate and Rosemary Turner. During 2022 the work of the Synod was overshadowed by the urgency of filling stipendiary clergy vacancies. At the June meeting Synod unanimously agreed the reorganisation of the Deanery into three benefices. Happily, appointments have now been made to all of these and the Deanery is confident that thanks to the devoted services of volunteer retired clergy they will find their church communities in good heart. The Revd Stephen Tudway now heads the North Westmorland parishes with Shap and Bampton (and is also acting as interim Rural Dean); the post at Heart of Eden will be filled jointly by the Revd Fran Parkinson and the Revd Andrew Burrell and – most important to our PCC- we have welcomed the Revd Brendan Giblin to Upper Eden and Westmorland Dales. (These benefice titles are provisional and
9
definitive ones will be included in forthcoming Pastoral Measures). All the new priests in charge are being licensed to both their own benefices and the single Mission Community which is co-extensive with Appleby Deanery and the Methodist Circuit. Each will therefore have a role in the Mission Community, with an emphasis on building the faith in partnership with other denominations. The MC will be an agenda item at the next Synod, on 13 June.
One consequence of these fluxes has been that several potential developments in the Deanery have been ‘on hold’ while new clergy settle into their posts. Substantive appointments as Rural Dean and Mission Community Leader will be made during the year. Decisions about whether the Mission Community should become a Charitable Incorporated Organization are also on hold. In a wider context, an Archdeaconries review has explored the case for reducing the number from three to two, taking advantage of the current vacancy at Carlisle. This was discussed at Deanery Synod and our comments were transmitted by the Lay Chair. At Diocesan Synod on 11 March, the Bishop confirmed that the Church Commissioners would fund four posts – one Archdeacon and three Mission Community Development Officers - and it is now likely that we will retain three Archdeacons at least for the present. Currently the Ven Stewart Fyfe, Archdeacon of West Cumberland, is acting for our Deanery. The present year will also see changes in the Deanery House of Laity: Sue Wigley, is retiring as Lay Chair in June 2023 and there is to be an election of Lay representatives of the benefices. Clive Wigley has also stood down as Deanery Treasurer and Joyce Keetley was elected to this role alongside that of Mission Community Office Manager at the November Synod which thanked Clive Wigley for his services.
Last year we reported the emergence of ‘treading gently’ as theme 4 of the revised ‘God for All’ vision and strategy. The Church of England is committed to seeking ‘carbon neutrality’ by 2030 and this will have implications for the management of churches, church halls, parsonages, church schools and land. Parishes are urged to evaluate their environmental impact using the ‘Eco-Church’ scheme developed by A Rocha and this has gained ground in the diocese. A workshop at Warcop Village Hall on 26 March 2022 was led by Pam Martin, the A Rocha representative in the Deanery, who is working closely with the Revd Lucy Foster, A Rocha EcoChurch officer for the north of England. Pending clergy appointments action in our Deanery has moved slowly but it should gain pace in 2023 not least because the Diocesan Synod has requested the Bishop’s Council to prepare and submit a comprehensive decarbonisation plan by the end of 2023. It is suggested that in our benefice the churchwardens and PCC representatives should now consult about the way ahead, involving Abbi Lawson (Tebay) and Martin Holdgate who have been active at Deanery level.
Deanery finances have been a recurrent topic of discussion in the Synod. The position was judged satisfactory, with central support for Network Youth Church activities and Pioneer Ministers. The Deanery Levy was continued unchanged in 2022 but will be reviewed in 2023. It was confirmed that while the national Strategic Development Fund supported dioceses PCCs could apply to a Diocesan Growth Fund. Parish Offers remained the primary source of funding for mission at benefice level and in future the Mission Communities would draw these together following dialogue with PCCs. The 6 March 2023 Synod was informed of a meeting to be held
10
on 24 April for Mission Community stipendiary clergy and the Diocese to set the parameters for local agreements: each benefice will be invited to send a lay chair and a treasurer.
In 2022 the Synod continued to discuss Living in Love and Faith, reflecting the debate at diocesan and national level. The work of the Network Youth Church, with expanding youth groups, and the Pioneer Ministry, especially in creating and running ‘well-being cafes’ and ‘warm spaces’ were reported by Rachel Milburn and the Revd Kirsty Pattimore. The Synod also received regular reports of actions by the General Synod and Diocesan Synod. At each meeting the Synod also received feed-back under the four themes of ‘God for All’, allowing parish representatives to report achievements and concerns. In June the Revd Clive Hicks (now moved elsewhere) reported on the Appleby Horse Fair of which he was chaplain, emphasising that despite criticism this was a national event with powerful opportunities to reach out and grow disciples. In March 2023 Sophie Hodge, Diocesan Stewardship Enabler, emphasised the importance of legacies and explained how she and a colleague could help with legacy training. Martin Holdgate, as a member of the DAC, reported on a proposed Buildings Strategy for Mission Communities and on a review of Churchyard Regulations being carried out by the new Chancellor of the Diocese, James Fryer-Spedding.

NOTES ON SAFEGUARDING APRIL 2022 – APRIL 2023
In 2022, I attended a training course at Cartmel Priory run by Joanna Van Lachterop and Gill Webb. The course was to support the work of the Parish Safeguarding Officer. It was extremely useful and was also an opportunity to meet with other PSO's in Cumbria.
Following on from this I then attended a Train the Trainer course at Newbiggin-onLune which enabled me to deliver Basic and Foundation Safeguarding Training. The Diocese is building a register of Trainers who are able to deliver this training across the County and I am part of this group.
In January 2023 I delivered Basic and Foundation Safeguarding training to members of the PCC. This was well received. Other members have completed their training on-line or attended other local courses.
Rosemary and I are due to attend training on Domestic Abuse later in April.
I have also assisted Ken Campbell with the DBS required as part of his Permission to Officiate.
One area for development is to ensure that all members of the PCC have DBS checks and that others are up to date.
Joanna Van Lachterop has recently completed a matrix outlining the training which is required to be completed by those holding different roles within the church. It will be good to look at this with Brendan and plan any training for the future. Liz Paisley

CLERGY REPORT
I cannot fully report on the whole year as I had time out when Isabelle was so ill around Easter time.
After Covid, aspects of church life did not naturally return to normal. In general it seemed many people found it difficult to get back to ‘Normality’ – whatever that is. I think we are getting there at last.
Services have continued their usual pattern… the 8.15 Sunday service has continued on just two Sundays each month. Whether we return to a service each Sunday remains to be seen. The 10.30 service is getting back to normal, numbers wise. During the year Alan Coates and Ken Campbell have continued to conduct Matins on the second Sunday, sometimes assisted by Charles or Phil Dew. When I was out of action during Easter time, with special permission from Bishop James, Ken and Phil were able to officiate. The Parish Eucharist was taken by Judy and myself and the Thursday service covered by Jean, Judy, Ken and myself. Numbers attending the midweek have increased which is good. The monthly praise service at Mill Gardens has continued with about 8 - 10 attending.
We had seven weddings, four baptisms and 12 funerals in church in 2022. I also conducted two services at the crematorium and two at the graveside. Special Services: at most of the special services numbers attending increased… Mothering Sunday, Harvest and the annual All Soul’s and Remembrance Sunday. As usual at the Carol service and the Christingle we had a full church and made a joyful noise!! We kept the midnight service to 9pm and numbers attending this were also up. The choir has been wonderful as usual and also the junior singers. The Primary School came into church for Experience Easter, Harvest and Christmas…we did not have Experience Pentecost this past year. It coincided with the Jubilee when we had a magnificent display along the south wall, provided by the school. Experience days cannot take place without a good team who give their time so generously.
The school held their Easter, Harvest and Christmas services here. The school now has 220 pupils and accommodating them plus all the families is quite a challenge. It is interesting how the children react in our building… they are very comfortable and not overawed at all. I am encouraged by this and that the new Headteacher wants the children to come in more often. I am now getting back into school assemblies and made a guest appearance in year one as an ancient granny who talked about toys in her childhood. (What – no TV and no tablet?) Our social calendar did not get off the ground last year although we did host Dales Day and a couple of concerts. It is now work in progress. One new initiative this last year was the monthly Sunday lunch. Attendance is usually 10 – 12… and much appreciated by those living alone. My other little lunch get-together born from the remnants of the Mothers Union continues with a mixture of church and outreach.
We joined in the Churches Together courses at Lent and Advent and ran our own Wednesday devotions at Advent. It has been encouraging to have more people willing to lead these.
12
I hope I haven’t forgotten anything or anyone. Finally thank you for all your support – retirement beckons.

PARISH CHURCH CHOIR
How often do you say…”Where have all the years gone?”
As I endeavour to write another report on the activities of the Kirkby Stephen Parish Church choir I find myself remembering when Judith Doig and I sang with the choir for the first time, it was the licensing service of Bill Greetham in 1982 (when I have noted “all the lights went out”!!) Quite why or for how long I cannot remember! Anyway, we’ve sung at five such services over the years and the choir numbered 44 members from all the churches in the new benefice for the most recent and we welcome Brendan and his family here.
The church’s year doesn’t change and neither does the music in this wonderful building. We sang at three weddings, visited all the other churches in our group, celebrated the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, including performing at the Jubilee Concert, organised by Rob Paisley, and with various local music groups, it was a fantastic celebration, not only of the Queen’s reign but of our community. We sent some of the collection to Manchester Children’s Hospital, recognising the care and love they gave Izzy, Carole’s great-granddaughter.
Sadly when the union flag was replaced by the Ukrainian blue and yellow reality of this sad world dawned again. And then on September 8[th] , the Queen died and the jubilant mood of her jubilee changed to great sadness which our music reflected. Although the choir never included anyone from the Roman Catholic congregation (except for Alfie Bowes’ sister who came to two Christmas rehearsals!!) We felt a great sadness when the long-standing agreement of sharing the building came to an end; it was such a wonderful example of two church communities working together. Returning to our church calendar… Remembrance Sunday was a well-attended and well-organized service. We happily sang carols at Christmas and many extra choristers young and older joined us for the traditional and (as ever) emotional service of nine lessons and carols.
We sing on, enjoying each other’s company – Prayer book Mattins, Communion services and other variations on the theme “Let all the world in every corner SING My God and King”… We thank Carole, Jean and Judy, Alan and Ken for leading us and Malcolm and Margaret for playing the organ. I must add that we are extremely grateful to Margaret for helping out while Malcolm has not been well. We are hoping that “all will be well and all manner of thing shall be well”.
As I finish writing this report the Union Flag flies from the tower to celebrate the Coronation of Charles III on May 6[th] . We are looking forward together happily singing and enjoying each other’s company. Thank you to all the choir members. Cathy Prime
MEDITATION GROUP
The meditation group continues to meet on the second Friday of the month at The Cherry Tree, Brough Sowerby, and the fourth Friday of the month at Mains View, Crosby Garrett, both at 11 a.m. The group first met in the summer of 2003. There are usually between five and seven of us at each meeting.. Those unable to attend can listen to the short talk on line and share the silence from home.
14
The group is part of an international community – The World Community of Christian Meditation whose aim is ‘to communicate and nurture meditation in the Christian tradition, in the spirit of serving the unity of all.’ Sarah Kirkup
THURSDAY CLUB
Thursday Club with a membership of twenty two continues to meet from October to June on the second Thursday in the month.
In January Judith Doig welcomed twelve members to the first meeting of 2022. Our guest speaker was Colin Belsey who spoke about his working life with the States of Jersey Police. He entertained us with many anecdotes some humorous, some serious and including the Bergerac years in the early 1980’s, of course!
In February Jo Keogh spoke about the foundations and progression of the very successful family business Country Flavours based here in Kirkby Stephen . We learnt that a whole year’s supply of Seville marmalade is made in two months and 13,947 jars were produced in 2021. All the preserves are handmade and sold from the Country Flavours market stall at weekly produce markets and also Cranston’s and Booths supermarkets. Members enjoyed a most entertaining and riveting afternoon.
Dave Prince, a Kirkby Stephen Rotary Club member, was our guest speaker in March. Dave is a Rotary Ambassador for the Rotary Club and Ireland and Carers UK partnership who predicted the number of carers across the UK to be 8.8 million. Carers UK believe no one should have to care alone. All manner of advice and support information can be obtained online: www.carersuk.org Being Holy Week there was no meeting held in April.
Our last two meetings of the season saw us visiting Lady Anne’s almshouses in Appleby in May and Dalemain near Ullswater in June. We were very much indebted to our guides, Valerie Kendal an almshouse resident, and our very own Judith Doig who works part time at Dalemain. Both were extremely knowledgeable and informative guides.
We resumed for the new 2022/23 season on the 14[th] October which coincided with the Bishop of Penrith’s visit. Sixteen members attended.The meeting began with a celebration of Holy Communion led by Revd. Jean Wright and assisted by Canon Carole Marsden. Programme planning and the AGM followed. Afterwards we adjourned into Church for refreshments and to meet Rt. Rev. Rob Saner-Haigh. In November, Judith welcomed nineteen members. Unfortunately our planned guest speaker was unable to attend and Judith ably stepped in. Here topic was loosely based around “Who do you think you are”, a family genealogy and the Doig family’s affection for the Neuk of Fife, and the fishing villages of the Fifeshire coast and St.Andrews.
In December we held our annual Christmas Lunch at the Black Bull, Nateby, incorporating again our support for Save the Children Fund’s ‘ Make the World better with a Sweater’ by wearing Christmas jumpers. A donation of £36 was raised. Irene

Downing, Carole Marsden, Jane Scott and Judith Doig gave Christmas readings. Winners of the Christmas quiz were Pauline English and Margaret Sharp. Thank you again Glenys for organising.
In January our guest speaker will be Alan King. Alan will be telling us about his ‘long walk’; Lands End to John O’Groats in 86 days. In February our speaker is Anne Taylor. The March meeting will be held at Rocke’n’Roses for a floristry demonstration by Daisy Rocke. In April Alan Coates will be sharing some “Tales in a Country Churchyard”. In May we will be visiting The Fellside Flower Company at Long Marton and the final meeting of the season in June will be a visit to the Dales Countryside Museum in Hawes.
In September Thursday Club will be celebrating its Golden Jubilee. We are intending to mark the anniversary with an exhibition of memories in the Parish Church on Saturday 26[th] August.
Thank you to all who have attended throughout the year, helped organise and provided refreshments.
Judith Doig and Shiela Haughey

Independent examiner’s report to the PCC of Kirkby Stephen Parish Church with Mallerstang, Crosby Garrett and Soulby
I report on the accounts for year ended 31[st] December 2022 which are set out on pages 1 to 8.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner’s statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
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.

Independent examiner’s report to the PCC of Kirkby Stephen Parish Church with Mallerstang, Crosby Garrett and Soulby
I report on the accounts for year ended 31[st] December 2022 which are set out on pages 1 to 8.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner’s statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
-
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities [applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)].
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.
