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.

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:
Ex￿lline 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.
