Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The Charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of the independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general 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 or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as 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 examiner's statement

In the course of our examination no matter has come to my attention:

(b) accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 2011; or

TRUSTEES' REPORT

Statement of Trustees' responsibilities

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the parochial church council as trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:-

REVIEW OF THE YEAR

2021 was a year of slow recovery from the ravages caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Despite a setback in January as a new covid variant swept through the country, the Church was finally re-opened in May with protective measures in place, and during September all remaining covid restrictions were finally lifted. As a result, Priory activities increased during the year. An Advent fair was held in November, culminating in a service of music and readings.

A feasibility study has been carried out by architects simonsherriff LLP into a two-storey extension for the south side of the Priory. New audio visual equipment has been installed in the Church.

A bench commemorating Robin Sharpe has been installed in the churchyard.

We were shocked and saddened to learn of the death of two stalwarts of the Priory during the year. In January Ian Burbidge died suddenly. He had been central to the Deanery's Hope Housing project and the Listening Ear Service. In April John Hughes, assistant organist for over 40 years, passed away.

The Hope Housing project has continued to be successful, and during the year the second Hope Housing property was purchased and renovated, and three people were resident in it.

Financial constraints due to the coronavirus restrictions meant that the Priory was only able to pay 43% of its Free Will offering for six months but was able to revert to the full amount for the remaining six months.

Otherwise the Priory has had a satisfactory year financially and this is dealt with, along with other financial matters, in the Financial Report.

Whilst the virus has not yet been beaten, there is optimism that things are slowly returning to pre-pandemic normality. In the meantime the Priory community will continue to provide support and welcome to anyone who seeks it as it has for over 900 years.

Financial review of the year

The overall financial outcome for 2021 has been positive.

Total incoming resources for the P.C.C. totalled £152k., an increase of £1k. over the previous year figure. The COVID related reductions in open plate collections and freewill envelopes continued into the first part of this year resulting in slight reductions in income. Gift aid income marginally exceeded that of last year. Legacies were less than last year, which benefitted from a generous legacy from the estate of Robin Sharpe. However, sundry donations were significantly higher than last year. Shop sales have recovered after being decimated last year through lack of footfall as a result of lockdown. As the financial markets recovered from the worst of the lockdown regime, investment income has risen from £9k. to £15k.. Weddings and funeral fees have fallen by £4k..

Resources used in the year totalled £136k., compared with £151k. last year, a decrease of £15k, in line with reduced activity. The Diocesan Freewill Offering had to be reduced from £70k. to £50k. to reflect the straightened economic situation. As a result of the above, the accounts show net incoming resources, excluding non cash flow items ( depreciation and movements on valuations ) of £16k., which is a significant improvement on the previous year.

Depreciation, which is a non cash flow cost and measures the using up of tangible fixed assets in the balance sheet, amounted to £9k., being slightly higher than last year, due to additions late last year and this year.

Investments held have all shown strong gains this year, the gains totalling £54k.. In addition, the Church rooms and bungalow have been externally revalued as at 31 December 2021 and this has resulted in a valuation uplift of £150k.. As a result, the net movement in funds shows a gain of £211k., compared with a gain of £7k. last year.

The balance sheet of the P.C.C. remains healthy at 31 December 2021, reflecting the positive movement in net funds. Tangible fixed assets include the purchase of an audio visual system, and their overall valuation has benefitted from the abovementioned revaluation of the Church Rooms and Bungalow. Likewise the valuation of the investments held has significantly improved due to a stronger financial market.

Monies held in bank accounts total £273k., slightly higher than last year.
