with the Scheme of Union of the Unrted Reformed Church

The main activities undertaken for the public benefft are summarised below.
However due to the on-going coronavirus pandemic many of the activities were
curtailed or restricted and used online means of communication with the
congregation and wider public. In advancing these activitTres the Elders, as trustees,
have taken due regard to the guidance on public benefft issued by the Charty
Commission. During 2020:
Public woT5hip has been provided every Sunday morning. Initially during
the restricted period up until May, the servI￿S were pre-recorded for
viewing at home via YouTube. During May and June the seNi¢es were also
shown on the big screens at the church. Live worship re-started on 27
June, though several of the preachers provided a pre-recorded sermon,
which was shown on the big screens. Sin¢e then the services have also
been live-streamed. Singing was pennitted from 27 July and accompanied
by organ, piano or small worship group with singer, as appropriate.
Knowledge and understanding of the Chrlstian faith has been advanced
through preaching during servi￿5 of public worship, bible study and
discussion within home groups online and bel￿een individuals.
Teaching the Christian faith to all ages within worship, initially through
the -Light Years. for children and young people, and through teaching and
discussion for adults and young people.

people. Weekday after-schoovevening activities resumed in September
wrth the Boys, Brigade for those age 5-11 years. Youth Club for age 11-16

pre-school children also met one morning each week.
Pastoral rAre and support to members and those in need. A caring
system was managed mainly through the Pastoral Ministry team and Home
Groups and provides care for those in sickness, distress or povety. During
the pandemic visibng became very difficult and most contact was
maintained by telephone.
Opportunities for Prayer for indivhjuals. the Communty, events and the
worfd are regularty available on Sundays and at times during the week.
The church prernises are usually available and used by community
groups for their activities and by individuals for private occasions, though
the building had to dose during the pandemic. The closure also affected the
church foyer, which was normally open every moming. providing
refreshments and a place to chat for anyone.
Funerals, though quite restricted in scale up to June. have been conducted
for church members, friends and members of the public. Historical records
of baptisms and marriages are available for public inspection.
Outreach work to children and young people has been delivered through
the youth organisations. Womèn's Guild and Men's Breakfast also provide

Financial review
Revlew of the Charity's
financlal position
The Church's finances remain in a posttive position. and although there
are vital repairs and refijrbishments underway to the building and
potential increases in cost, eg energy, there is a sound financial strategy
in place. The buildings refurbishment cost will be largely funded by a
grant of £20,000 and loan of £35,000 from the Wessex Synod Trust
In spite of the church being dosed for much of the year and a loss of
Crucial rental income, offerings have remained constant and very much
inline with the budget predicted before the pandemic. There was a
substantial legacy left to the Church and this has resulted in a surplus in
the year of just over £28,500. The end of year balance on all Funds
totalled around £63.000, whith includes a further £5.000 set aside for
buildings repairs and £19,000 for the Church's outreach and mission
ramme.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
I report on the financial statements of HftHE URC for year endexl 31 Decemter 2021, which are set
out on pages I to 12.
Respective responsibilities
The church is ￿sponSible for the pre￿ratIOn of financial ststements. and consida5 that the audtt
requirement of Section 43(2) of the Chart￿$ Act 1993 (the Att) d(Es not appW. It is my responsibility to
state, on the basis of prcKedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners
under Section 43(7)(b) of the Act, whether particutar matters have come to my attenlion.
Basis of Independent Examiner's rewt
My examination was carried out in accordan￿ with the General Directions of the Charity Commissioners.
An examination indudes a review of the accountirtsJ records kept by the church and a comparison of the
accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disdosures
in the financtal siatements, and s*king explanations conceming any such matters. The procedures
undertaken do not provide all the eV￿en￿ that would be r￿UIred in an audit, and consequently I do not
express an audtt opinion on view gwen by the fina￿la1 siatements.
Independent Examinerfs statement
In connection with my examination of the church funds, nothing came to my attenb.on which gave me cause
to believe othe￿ise than that the finanaal staterrEnts accord with the accounting records of the church, and
that those records Satisfied the requirements of the Art. l am not aware of any matter to which attention
should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the finanaal statements to reached.
