Review of activities We started to get back to normal. bul it did not happen quite as quickly as we would have Ished. Our commitment is to haN'e two or three social events during the year which, in norn]al times, should not be too difficult to organise. Iloi¥ever: thanks to Covi(L 'e have been unable to achieve our aims in this respect. jSt to remind ).0 these events are not fund- rdising events, but more lo do with "hearts and minds., To allow Friends to enjoy each other's company aniL hopefully, to intrU¢e new Friepth to support our worthy cause. tn spit¢ of no fund-raising, we do lik¢ to cover our costs and perhaps make a modest surplus. We had planned a musical evening on July i%thich would have included an AGM. Stricdy speaking, as a Trusl, ar¢ not obliged to hav¢ such a meeting, but we like to give Friend5 the opportunity lo bear what .¢ have to sa)., and to ask any questions about what we aTe doing. Sadly this had to be cancelle¢ but we are still keen to enjoy the Royal Males
Friends of St Peter's Walton on the Hill Surrey Registered charity number 1170811 Report of the Trnstees - coDtinued Barbershop Quartet on some future occ&sion. The dela}'ed AGM did finally take place on OctobeT 8th and was followed by anoth¢r very popular Wine Tasting. This was held in th¢ Riddell Hall and atlracted nearly one hundr¢d people, including quite a number of our younger friends and supporters. It was a very happy occasion and a lovely way of helping us to get back to norn1. While this 'social' side of our activities has been disappointing. the on-going support of Friends, by way of continuing to pay your Standing Orders, has been very impressive. T hanks to the church making only modest requests for our financial assisLqnce. we have had a very good year. which has allowed us to increase our reserves. This is due to the fabric of the church being in good order: thanks to the Tegular payments we hai'c made for maintenance over the last five years. This h&s been cOnf¢d recently by the regular quinquennial report tbat is demanded by the C of E. Building up a decent reserve fimd is particularly important. Looking after a building as old &8 St Peter's. will invariably involve major expense, so we must be ready for such an event. Our one on-going commitment concerns the nlAtellance of the churchyard. During the last twelve months, we have not only paid forthe maintenance, but also for a Substanti amount of additional work concerning the trees and hedges surrounding the churchyard. This Work had not been carried out for many )'¢ars. Local firni Treem>ers completed this worL together with a lot of extra work which aS never included in the original quotstion. Sincere thanks to John Darter for making thTS possible. John also decorated the laroe conifer at the entrance to the churchyard Christmas lights and h&s donated the lights foT tUre use. We just hope he is happy to conlinue puttino them up in y.ears to come! The work in th¢ Churcbyard would not hav¢ been p)ssible without the huge involvement of th¢ ChUrchWarde Neil Williams. Goodness knows w.hat we have saved by Neil doing all this manual work. We are so verv grateful. I do not believe the church)'ard has looked in better shape for many s¢aL3. Local people walk through it and others visit ielatii'es h0 have been laid to rest in the churchyard. It is the most visible part of OUT activities and I believe creates a very good impTession of what we are trying to achieve. Your loyalty is very much appreciated. Howeirer, we must ty and broaden the base of Friends living within the killa8e. Please do encourage your fricnds and ncighlK>urs lo join us. Man}, thanks.
Finally, we always lookino for younger people to help us, particularly with our social events. So please b¢ar this in mind. In this latter respecL we are delighted that Victoria TrnetL moved into Breech LAne nearly two yeaTS ago. joined us &8 a Tnth during the year.

Independent examiner's report To th¢ Trustees ofthe Friends of St Peter's Walton on tbe Hill Surrey I report on the accounts of the Charity for the )'ear ended 31 December 2021, which are set out on pages three and four. Respective responsibilities of trustees and euminer The charity's trustees are responsibl¢ for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trusiees consider that an audit is not required for this )'ear under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an Indedent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act. to follow the procedures laid doiN'n in the oeneral Directions given b) the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and to state whether particular maiters have come to my attention. Basis of independent examiller's report My exaTninatiOTJ was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the ChaTity Commission. An examination includ¢s a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presenied ihose records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the Trustees conceming any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequenily no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair, vi¢w and the retx)r( is limid to those matters set out in the statement below. Independent examiner's statement In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to Tny attention which gives me cause to believe that in any material respect: accounting records were not kept in a¢cordan¢e with section 130 of the Charities Act" or the accounts do not accord with the accounting records. I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
