For most of this year, our activities were curtailed by the COVID-19 pandemic taking place throughout the world. Our weekly public services were held on Sundays at 10.30am via church online and YouTube. This was a great success but also a lot of work for the leadership of the church and the media team. We had to upgrade our technical side of things to meet the new needs. Our baby group, Shorties, did not meet; however, we did provide Easter and Christmas bags for the children and their parents. Our Little Blessings toddler group provided bags with activities and little gifts for the children. Running of the CAP Debt Centre – with clients from Burton and surrounding areas. This is run in conjunction with CAP National, which offers assistance with the relief of debt. This was all done virtually, but we **Summary of the main** continued to be able to help people throughout the year. **activities undertaken for the** We, once again, provided CAP Food Hampers for our clients at **public benefit in relation to** Christmas. We also held a virtual CAP Money Course to help attendees **these objects (include within** manage their money well. **this section the statutory** Alpha is a course open to the public for people wishing to find out more **declaration that trustees have** about Christianity; this was run virtually. **had regard to the guidance** We also have small groups during the week, offering friendship, teaching **issued by the Charity** and support. For this year, it was mostly done virtually. **Commission on public** We successfully started a Food Help Service in conjunction with **benefit)** Community Cans Can Help, and served the community by enabling them to access free food twice a week. This was run from No 63 Main Street, which we rent for our church activities and community work. It stayed empty for quite a while, and we were really glad to see it start being used to benefit the community. Over Easter we provided bags of joy for the whole of our congregation, to keep us connected and lift peoples spirits as we weren’t meeting in church in person.

## Section D Achievements and erformance p
Overall, considering the conditions of the year, we feel blessed and **Summary of the main** relieved. **achievements of the charity** We installed a memorial garden in the church garden, where members of **during the year** the church and local community could place a picture of their loved ones who they had lost throughout the year. The church mostly stayed empty, but we kept in touch with our congregation through email, online services and activities, phone calls, etc. The benefit of having small groups is that people are able to keep in contact with each other and look out for one another. The Little Blessings team enjoyed putting the craft bags together for the little ones who attended. They were able to stay in touch with parents via a Facebook page that is up and running. The trustees and leaders continued to meet virtually throughout the year. It was great to see that our CAP debt help didn’t stop, but it was able to take place virtually, and our debt coaches remained faithful to our clients, helping them through even more trying times than usual.

**Independent examiner's report on the accounts**
## **Section A Independent Examiner’s Report**
**Report to the trustees/ members of** The Community Church **On accounts for the year** 31st March 2021 **Charity no** 1177675 **ended (if any) Set out on pages** 1 and 2 Of schedule CC16a
**Respective** The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. **responsibilities of** The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year **trustees and examiner** under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
- � to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
- **Basis of independent** My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given **examiner’s statement** by the Charity Commission. 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 the 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 present 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 section 130 of the Charities Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities 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.
