This year has been one of necessary expenses and planned refurbishments, some of which the Church has been anticipating for some time. As a result there is a deficit of £48,504 in our finances for the year. However this amount came from the £65,765 of fabric expenses, namely the repairs to the church roof and refurbishment of the electrical system, along with the start of the extensive works on the community hall. All regular running costs have been fully covered, and nobody can argue that the repairs were less than urgently necessary.
This year we received £15,050 of gift-aided planned giving by standing order and were able to reclaim £3,785 as a Gift-Aid tax refund from HMRC. There was a further £9,120 of non-Gift-Aid donations and a further £1,073 was collected during church services. Many thanks to all our generous givers who make the continued running of the Church possible!
We also received £16,884 in grants, both from the furlough scheme enabling us to continue employing staff through the lockdown and specifically for the building repairs, which significantly offset our expenses there. The church also received £8,188 income from lettings and £1,369 from fees for weddings and funerals. Other than the grants for the building work total income for the year was £43,497, more than covering ordinary running expenses which amounted to £39,409.
This year the considerable fabric expenses meant we were only able to contribute £4,400 in parish share, and our only donation was an in memoriam to Stonewall of £30. We pray that the coming year will allow us to be more generous!
As always, we continue to pray for God’s guidance and provision, but my sincere thanks go to all church members, for their willingness to give of their time, energy and resources to support St Andrew’s and contribute to the fellowship of the church.

ST ANDREWS CHURCH
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL
I have examined the financial statements and the accounting policies for the year January to December 2021.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE PAROCHIAL CHURCH COUNCIL & EXAMINER
The Charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 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 Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act) and:-
-
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S STATEMENT
My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S STATEMENT
In the course of my examination no matter has come to my attention:
-
i) Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the trustees have not met the requirements to ensure that:-
-
Proper accounting records are kept (in accordance with Section 130 of the Act) and
-
Accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act or
-
ii) To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
