We invested in live streaming equipment (cameras, computer, etc) to enable us to have quality recordings available live and online. Other activities gradually moved from meeting virtually to meeting in person, in accordance with guidelines that were given and people appreciated this, particularly our young people. Coming out of lockdowns we restarted many of our activities. Our food bank didn’t stop and continued to hand out food parcels to clients twice a week.

Our CAP Centre continued to function all through the pandemic and met clients either by phone or virtually. Our church small groups gradually moved into meeting in person again, although some preferred to keep going virtually. Towards the end of the year, we entered into negotiations to rent the old betting shop next to No 63 Main Street. We were successful and No 1 Ferry Street was added to our properties. We envisaged it having an amazing impact on the local community as well as the church.

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.
