Annual Report for 2020/21
The period of this report covers the time of Lockdown from Corona Virus and premises such as Churches were closed for all normal activity
The only exception to this was to enable a form of On-Line Service to be conducted from the Church with a minimal number of people to produce the programme. The Leadership Team met on Zoom every week and the Trustees on regular basis.
Only On-Line Services continued on a weekly basis throughout this time. Late in summer when some restrictions were lifted, some small gatherings were allowed to take place but nothing worked to normal and On-Line Services continued. A very strict Risk Asessement was put in place, conforming to Government Guidlines.
Financially, due to the generosity of the Partners and supporters and laterly the Furlough Scheme, the Church was able to continue with its commitments. Posts such as Admin and Treasurer were able to work from home, as well as supporting our Pastors.
The Church folk were divided into Neighbourhood Groups under a leader, so that Information regarding On-Line Services and information from the Leadership could be passed to everyone. A Facebook page was also invaluable. These groups were encouraged to keep an eye on others in that group and bless their neighbours with gifts now and again, such as flowers from Lighthouse.

ACCOUNTANTS REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
We hereby certify that the accounts for the year 31st March 2021 have been prepared, without carrying out an audit, from the Church's accounting records and information supplied by the treasurer.
Our accounting procedures include examination, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the accounts and an assessment of whether the accounting policies are appropriate to the Charity's circumstances, consistently applied and adequately disclosed.
We have obtained all information and explanations which we considered necessary to enable us to give reasonable assurance that the accounts are free from material errors.
In our opinion the accounts reasonably reflect the state of the Church's financial affairs as at 31st March 2021 and of its surpluses/deficits for the period then ended.
