## ANNUAL REPORT 2020
## Our Trust's work and finance
## What we have done
Lighthouse Charity Trust uses Lighthouse Community Church's building and its facilities for the services we provide.
In accordance with our Charitable Object, we seek to reach into the wider community by providing a meeting place and facilities for the community's benefit, so that people can engage in positive activities and leisure pursuits to build social contacts, relationships and support.
In this, our sixth year, we initially saw the building we hire used by a wide variety of thriving groups, clubs and individuals on most days of the week. Hiring times for the building's rooms and facilities were full to capacity on most days. The list below illustrates the scope of need in the area for a place for people and groups to meet for their benefit and enjoyment:
Sally King North Norfolk Pilates and Fitness Slimming World NNU3A (North Norfolk University of the Third Age) assorted courses Sheringham Singers Sing Your Heart Out Harmony (choir) Sinfonia (orchestra) Occasional concert hirings Lip Reading Sheringham Dementia Friendly Community Sheringham Horticultural Society (meetings and a show) Sheringham Muzillac Twinning Association Children's party hirings Away days for various church leaders' meetings.
The Café has now been handed over to Lighthouse Church and is no longer linked to Lighthouse Charity Trust.
In carrying out our aims this year, Lighthouse Charity Trust continued to be a thriving part of our local community, touching many lives. Through a wide variety of flourishing clubs, groups and activities many people made new friends, and gained support and confidence through new contacts and experiences.
As the Covid 19 pandemic widened the Charity had to close down all its hiring activities: hirers therefore lost their much valued social gatherings. It is hoped that hirings will resume as soon as conditions improve sufficiently to enable the Charity to re-open, enabling activities to resume for the community’s benefit.
## The money that the Trust has received
Until shut-down Lighthouse Community Church provided many activities and clubs open to both church and non-church people alike. These included a parent and toddler group, an after school club for primaries, a monthly group for older primaries and younger secondaries, a youth club, football teams for various age groups, a table tennis club and an art group. These made donations to the Trust for their use of facilities or the Charity’s administrative services. Outside groups and organisations also made donations for the use of the Trust's hired building and its facilities, and for bursary support.
Gifts received for youth and children’s work and activities were used to purchase a marquee, the remainder being set aside to fund future activities as and when needed.
## How the Trust has spent the money received
Lighthouse Community Church organisations and all outside groups made donations for their use of the building’s utilities, maintenance, service and technical costs; and for donations to the salaries of church staff involved in clubs and activities run under the Trust's hirings.
From funds received, the Trust has been able to pay for its own insurance and music licence.
Grants and donations from Stewardship Fund, Tesco and other groups have enabled the Charity to pay for the maintenance, repairs, equipment and the Charity and Sheringham Shed’s utilities.
The Charity continues to seek funding and grants for refurbishing and operating the building in Sheringham, now named “Sheringham Shed”. This is a Lighthouse Church project, and Lighthouse Charity Trust are custodians of the finances. In line with our Charitable Object to be of benefit to the community, the building will be opened up for use in providing an environment, facilities and support for users with varying needs as soon as the Government’s Covid restrictions are lifted.
Sheringham Shed has acquired a piece of land on a long term peppercorn lease. It is now called “Priory Patch” and will be used as an outdoor facility for extending Sheringham Shed’s provision for community support.
In our next year, apart from holding a reasonable contingency, maintaining good stewardship of our assets and responsibilities, and seeking awareness of how the Trust should develop, our focus - rather than accumulating a large account balance - will continue our commitment to be of positive service, support and encouragement within our community and the wider area.

## **Accountants' Report**
## **Year Ended 31st August 2020**
We hereby certify that the accounts for the year ended 31st August 2020 set out on pages 2 to 5 have been prepared, without carrying out an audit, from the Charity'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 charity's financial affairs as at 31st August 2020 and of its surpluses for the year then ended.
