REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FINANCIAL REVIEW
As at 31 December 2020 the total incoming resources was £74,778.00 in unrestricted fund and the total outgoings was £64,980.00 leaving a surplus of £9,798.00. The Trustees consider the need for the charity to hold reserve (unrestricted fund, and not represented by fixed asset) equivalent to one month expenditure in order to ensure the ongoing delivery of its charitable objects during time of unforeseen down turn in income. The Trustees acknowledge that in the year under review the charity was able to meet this need and that the charity should aim to improve and look at other sources to generate income to continue to meet its need.
PLANS FOR FUTURE PERIOD
The Charity continues to explore ways of furthering its charitable objects in an effective manner by ensuring there is awareness of its services and proactively seeking opportunities to be more involved in the community. That the charity endeavour to provide services that meet the needs of the public and contribute positively in the moral and spiritual climate of our community. This reflects its Christian ethos and belief.

My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 the 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

Restricted funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor or through the terms of an appeal.
(c ) Incoming Resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when the charity is entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the Statement of Financial Activities when receiveable. Grants, where entitlement is not conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity , are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant.
Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included in these accounts.
Invested income is included when receivable.
Incoming resources from charitable trading activity are accounted for when earned.
Incoming resources from grants, where related to performance and specific deliverables, are accounted for as the charity earns the right to consideration by its performance.
(d) Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accrual basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is reported as part of the expenditure to which it relates:
Costs of generating funds comprise the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and the costs of trading for fundraising purposes.
Charitable expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services for its beneficiaries. It includes both costs that can be allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
