Charity Commission Trustees’ Report SHCF 2022/23 We meet at the church premises every Sunday Morning. Some of our activities were done on line using Zoom, such as Prayer Meetings, Bible Studies, Elders and Trustees’ Meetings. We continue to use Whats App to communicate with various groups: Kids Group Mums, Church Members, Youth Group. Most members made monetary contributions directly to the church bank. We are have continued our community projects: Senior’s Coffee Mornings, Kids Club, Youth Group and have started a new venture with ‘Build on Belief’ (a NHS based charity) helping people to adjust to the community after having mental issues. Church attendance has fluctuated since the Covid Lockdown but seems to have stabilised over the year.

The charity’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: - Examine the accounts (under section 145 of the 2022 Act; - To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and - 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 Commissioners. 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 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 a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. ## **Independent examiner’s statement** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: - (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements - to keep accounting records in accordance with section130 of the 2011 Act; and - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met: or - (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. ## **Signed** _L A Silver_ ## **Date: 26 January 2024** Luke Silver HNC Business & Finance Accountancy Practitioner - 25 Ellicombe Close, Minehead, Somerset.
