Report on the Parish and its Council for the year ending 31 December 2024 We began the year in interregnum following the resignation of Fr Moore in the previous governance year. Fr Moore remained in the vicarage and was given a Permission to Officiate. We were assisted in worship by many clergy such that our Sunday pattern was able to continue. A new Priest-in-charge was appointed and began in August 2024, living in no.18 as a temporary measure until the vicarage becomes vacant. A few works were done to no.18 in order to get it ready for Fr Luke. Our Easter service was in full attendance with a large number of children, and our Sunday school continues to grow. We were able to have a Summer fair and Christmas fair, both of which well attended and very successful. We had a couple of fund raising musical shows and an international evening which helped raise funds for Church. Works to the roofing of Church, especially in the sacristy continue and we are confident that the issue will be sorted in 2025. Page 5
Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees Of St Alphage, Burnt Oak with tlie DCC of St Augustine's, Grahame Park I report on the accounts of the church for the year ended 31 December 2024 which are set out on pages 7 to 17. 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: Exlline the accounts under section 145 of the 201 l Act: To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145 (5)(b)of the 201 l 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 under S145(5)(b) of the Act and to be found in the guidance from the CBF. That examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also includes considering 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 Since the gross income for the year does not exceed the amount provided in section 145(3) of the Act, I confirn] that I am qualified to act as an independent Examiner under the provisions of that section of the Act. 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 S 130 of the 2011 Act; and to prepare accounts whicli accord with the accounting records and to comply with the requirements of the 201 l Act, as also contained in the Church Accoiinting regulations 1997 have not been met. b) (Signed) (Date) 2025 Page 6
