Year ended 31 December 2020

Objects
The purpose of the All Saints Community Project Trust is to empower the local community, in conjunction with the Christian Mission of St Paul with All Saints Church and the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, to help improve fundamental issues such as education, safety, increased employment, life skills and lower crime.
The Project shall work in partnership with voluntary and statutory agencies as well as the community to identify areas of concern and felt needs, to positively address these.
The project shall uphold equal opportunity values and strive to work with and empower people of all ages, ethnic background, faith or disability.
In November 2016 the Trust successfully converted to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO).
Activities in the year
From January 2020 until March 2020 we ran our usual mix of social activities for the local community including coffee mornings a walking group, Have a go crafting sessions, a games morning. We also offered face to face welfare appointments to help people with benefit applications and form filling, budgeting and debt signposting.
However following the coronavirus pandemic and the various lockdowns that followed the charity had to adapt and attempt to meet the changing needs of the community.
The outline below is true of our activities in the first quarter of the year and the final section on coronavirus outlines what we did as a charity between April 2020 and December 2020.
The Magpie Café.
The Café continues to support the work of the project and provide a community focus and meeting space. We have moved to a completely volunteer led café and we have taken on a number of new volunteers.
Depression & Anxiety Group
The group has continued to meet fortnightly and we have a regular membership of 10 – 15 people.
· Fortnightly meetings continue which has found the members open up and talk emotively about their life experiences, feelings and concerns.
· Friendships have been forged, which has reduced feelings of isolation and provides support outside of the group.
· Group activities range from self-help, art, nature, positive thinking, healthy eating, quizzes, team building, promoting Mental Health awareness weeks etc.
Community Group Coordinator
We now have a member of staff dedicated to our community groups, there is something going on in the Magpie everyday between 10am and 12pm, this helps tackle social isolation, people from the local area come along and meet new people or learn a new skill. Our clients say it’s nice to know they have somewhere to go and see people every day.
The REAP Project
Medway REAP (Restoration Empowerment Action Purpose) is a partnership project designed to improve the circumstances of families or individuals who are experiencing hardship. The project partners include Medway Foodbank, Home Start, Medway, Medway Engagement Group And Network (MEGAN) and All Saints Community Project Trust.
The REAP project provides support in two main ways: - practical support through Food Bank vouchers and utility payments. - advice and action planning for benefits, housing and debt.
The partnership has continued to move from strength to strength, with a positive open and hardworking team committed to helping the people of Medway through times of crisis.
We intend to reapply to the National Lottery for funding in the hope to continue this project for many years to come.
Sam’s Place
Sam’s Place After School Club offers affordable childcare for local working parents and nearly 30 children attend each evening. Unfortunately in September 2020 we made the difficult decision to close Sams Place. Lockdown and the increase in parents working from home has meant that Sams place was no longer financially viable.
Coronavirus
During the first lockdown of 2020 the charity started providing emergency food parcels for the people of Medway, at its peak we were feeding over 400 people each week. We worked alongside Medway Foodbank and Fareshare to provide food parcels that included fruit, vegetables, fresh meat and dairy to people who had found themselves redundant or furloughed with very short notice. We continued to provide these food parcels for the remainder of the year. Although this was not our original plan, it was clear that it remained a need for the rest of 2020 and beyond.
We also continued to offer advice and guidance throughout 2020, at times this was done over the phone and other times with socially distanced appointments. We are very proud that we were able to remain open throughout 2020 and be there to provide help and support to our local community throughout this unprecedented time.
Christmas Hampers
We provided over 120 Christmas food hampers including everything needed for a Christmas dinner and gifts for children. We worked with other organisations in the community and accepted referrals for those who were struggling during the festive period.
The 49 regular volunteers are very important to the Project and are greatly valued, we were devastated that we had to move to a skeleton staff and look forward to welcoming back all of our volunteers once it is safe to do so.
Ongoing support from the Diocese and the PCC of St Paul with All Saints has been essential to enable the Trust to continue its work.
The Trust continues to support the residents of two of the four poorest Wards in the Medway area. We continue to plan for the future believing in the crucial and immensely important work we are engaged in, supporting the poorest in our community and faithfully “working to enrich lives and build HOPE for a better FUTURE, through the JOY and LOVE of JESUS”.
Financial Review
Income for the year was £194169. (2019: £184760),
Expenditure was £151169 (2019:£179225). Net incoming movement in funds for the year was £43000 (2019:£5535 outgoing).
The balance of funds remaining at the end of the year was £124356 and grants and new income streams would be needed as we seek to maintain the level of support to local people.
The general fund at the end of the year stood at £10979. The focus in 2020 will be to maintain income streams and develop a platform for the future direction of the Trust.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The All Saints Community Project Trust
This Report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020, which are set out in this annual report, is in respect of an examination carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Act").
Respective responsibilities of the trustees and the examiner
As trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of section 144(2) of the Act does not apply. It is my responsibility to issue this report on those accounts in accordance with the Act.
Basis of this report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 144(5)(b) of the Act. 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
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 section 130 of the Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the requirements of the Act and the Regulations 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.

Basis of this report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 144(5)(b) of the Act. 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
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 section 130 of the Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the requirements of the Act and the Regulations 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.
