ANNUAL REPORT 2021
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 seventh year we faced, from its outset, a time of severe restrictions in the midst of the Covid pandemic. The whole year was a virtual shutdown with no opportunity for community involvement.
All our hirings and group meetings were suspended, apart from our “Little Ones” group for infants 12 months of age or younger in supporting families, through consultation with our County Council, and in compliance with their Covid regulations. This facility began in September 2020; then in February 2021 it was also available for those up to 2 years of age, still functioning under strict social distancing rules.
The money that the Trust has received
Lighthouse Charity Trust.
Income for this year has been severely affected by the suspension of our hirings and groups. Small sums have been received from the “Little Ones” group and from the administration of the Football Club finances when it was eventually able to function after restrictions on outdoor activities were eased.
Sheringham Shed and Priory Patch.
A Covid grant from North Norfolk District Council paid for their utilities, insurance and administrator’s salary after furlough.
Sheringham Shed also received a generous donation from makers of covid masks.
As with Lighthouse Charity Trust, the plans and activities of Shed and Patch were severely hampered by the year’s lockdowns and necessary restrictions.
At the Shed, when it became safe to do so, the building was able to open for a few limited events. “Outside the Wire” (a Service Veterans Support Group) were also able to meet, providing much encouragement and support for its members.
The Patch, being outdoors, also met responsibly after lockdowns. Those attending worked to clear, improve and plant the site. They benefitted from the encouragement gained by working, connecting and sharing with others.
How the Trust has spent the money received
The closures, resulting in virtually no income, have prevented the Charity from making donations to the hiring church or other bodies. Nevertheless, it has been able to pay its annual insurance and accountancy fee out of its held reserve.
Lighthouse Charity Trust are custodians of Sheringham Shed and Priory Patch finances. In line with our Charitable Object to be of benefit to the community, the building and gardening plot will be opened up further for use, when restrictions ease, to provide an environment, facilities and support for users with varying needs.
Lighthouse Charity Trust’s main challenge for our next year, as recovery begins, is to rebuild our community links, provision and service.
Also, 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.
