Worship. Prayer and Evangelism Sunday morning services have continued to be livestreamed usingYouTube. Watching figures are good enough to continue this format, especially for members of the congregation who are unable to attend in person. During Services of Holy Communion, the wine is now offered in one cup as recommended by the Diocese of Peterborough. The Sunday Evening worship time of Pursuing His Presence was reintroduced in 2023, but will cease as from January 2024 due to low attendance. The last meeting being in December 2023. The Sunday morning seTNice offers a time of testimonies, where congregation members can tell of answers to prayer that have occurred in the preceding week. This portion of the service is now live-streamed, and members are made aware of this by on-screen notices and printed notices in the foyer. They are very encouraging to the congregation, and raise the expectation of seeing God at work in this community. Prayer Ministry-The Whats-App group which was set up in 2020 to meet any practical as well as prayer needs of the local church members is still in operation. Prayer Chain- The confidential prayer line is now based on email. Messages requesting prayer support are passed on to a wide number of dedicated members who will prdyforthat need for two weeks. Requests for this service come from the church family and also the local community- This service is confidential, only those on the prayer chain know the details. Prayer Walking- In 2023, a group of congregation members met regularly each week to pray around the village. This has continued with some prayer walking being undertaken in other local villages and towns. However due to changes in personal circumstances this decreased during 2023 to every two weeks. Youth and children's work-The youth are led by Sarah H. as the Youth Mission Enabler who has set up a Sunday morning youth group which runs concurrently with the Sunday morning service, a weekly during term time Youth Café plus a weekly duringterm time eveningyouth Group. All youth across the benefice are welcome to attend any of the meetings. The Outdoor Youth events which utilises a well-supervised fire pit and other external activities have continued through 2023. These events are very well attended and very well received. Sarah also heads up a small team who are allowed in school during lunchtimes to host games and meetings. The Primary School-aged children have their own Sunday morning group held in the Chancel in church and once a month come together for the whole service with the adults at the All Age Service on a third Sunday morning. There have occasionally been simple lunches held after the third Sunday service to encourage families to Stay, participate and feel they belong to the family of the church. There are also family fun days held intermittently throughout the year. which take a Biblical theme and include craft activities and a simple tea. The toddlers who attend church have their own room in which to play duringthe Sunday service and there are toys and activities there which are changed on a regular basis. This
facilty is much appreciated by the families who come. The service 15 relayed into the room via a speaker system 50 parents still feel a part of the proceedings. The 3Ts IToddlers. Toast & Toys) group meets during term time, weekly. on a Tuesday morning in church. It continues to flourish with an increasing number of children and carers attending. The format allows free play, refreshments, Bible stories and singin& all activities are age appropriate for pre-school children. The 8roup has a good reputation in the village and beyond and we are finding the group is being recommended by local health visitors. The Bereavement Journey course has now been run twice during 2023. The course comes from Holy Trinity Brompton, the creator5 of the Alpha course. It is a 3 week course which help5 the bereaved work through their loss. The loss need not be the death of a loved one but can be the loss of a lob. a disability caused by illness or even the loss of a relationship. The Motherf Unlon- There was a very successful Afternoon Tea and Coffee Morning which raised £400.¢XI, which help fund projects abroad and at home. £150 of these funds is being used to fund projerts in the newly opened HMP Five Wells prison in nearby Wellingborough. The Mothers, Union supports AFIA (Away From It All} holidays which offers free holidays to families who have met with adversity. Another portion of the funds raised went to support AFIA. Prayer underpins the work of the Mothers, Union, so regular bulletin5 Wlth prayer pointers are distributed. Much knitting has been undertaken with 47 blankets 80ing to Ukraine and Africa. Also hats, scarve5 and gloves were sent to Ukraine with the Blythswood Care Christmas Shoe Box Appeal. 52 dresses and 25 shorts made from pillow cases and old sheets have been created and sent out to Africa along with 277 knitted vests for babies in Djibouti and Somalia.

Numbers attending have levelled out but different people are attending since the pandemic, which means we are reachin8 approximately 50, mostly elderly, and mostly widowed people. The initiative is to provide a warm and welcoming space for people to make friends and come for a chat. Slnce November 2023, this event has become part ofthe government's Warm Spaces initiative.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of St Mary’s Church, Wollaston
I report on the accounts of the church for the year ended 31/12/2023.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The church’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The church’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act);
• to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of 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 connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- 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 2011 Act; and
• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
