Review of the year

CHURCHWARDEN’S ANNUAL REPORT

All Saints Church, Belhus Park

We pray for the infection rate to continue to drop and restrictions can be further eased to allow our church to reopen and take up its ministry with full services, filled with singing and sharing the communion cup. We will remember all the lives lost during this Pandemic both near and far.

Obviously, this year has been very strange, and the Church has been shut for majority of the year which doesn’t allow for much to report. We have had to follow guidance and adjust our practice to allow for the Church Building to open differently and spread the word of the Lord. Due to regulations the church has been turned upside down to allow for services. Due to the large floor space, it has allowed us to have 26 people in our congregation on reopening. As most of our churches within the team, we need a tidy up! (Although Linda has made a very good start at All Saints).

Our Church may have been closed for services but it is providing a valuable service for Foodbank. Foodbank has seen a huge increase in footfall and this will continue for some time to come. Thank you to Trevor Fuller, Glynis Pettit, John Buckingham and Tara Frankland. The terrier has been checked and updated in preparation of inspection. We have looked at the quinquennial report and we are trying to ensure we are ready for next year when the next inspection is due. After a leak was found in underground pipework going to the vicarage, another two were found going to the hall. This was dealt with swiftly. As there isn’t much to report, it will be filled with thanks and gratitude.

We would like thank Tara and Matt for all their work over the last 12 months. We do not know everything that has happened behind the scenes. Both Tara and Matt have taken many questions and concerns from wardens, PCC and congregation members on when and how the Church is opening. They have guided us throughout this Pandemic whilst being extremely busy outside of this parish. Tara has been bank staff at Basildon Hospital and has been on the red zone offering comfort and prayer for those at the end of their lives; whilst being Chaplain at St Luke’s Hospice. We pray for her and hope she takes her very long overdue holiday. We pray for Matt as he temporarily serves the two Ockendons, St Nicholas and All Saints. We wish Peter better as he continues on sick leave.

Thank you to all our congregation members who have phoned around and checked on each other. Whilst the church family has not been able to meet in person, the Church family has continued outside of the Church. Hopefully soon we can have a big celebration with maybe a songs of praise type of service; assuming we will be able to sing again.

We say a HUGE THANK YOU to Linda Buckingham for everything she has done, does and will continue with. I am personally grateful for Linda accepting the extension of her term as Churchwarden due to the pandemic. Linda first joined the PCC in 1965 and has held many roles within the church. I certainly have big boots to fill and no doubt I will have many questions as my term as churchwarden continues. During this Pandemic, Linda has supported St Michaels, St Nicholas and All Saints to open for private prayer and church

P a g e | 4

services during the restrictions. She has taken bookings for services and ensured numbers are kept too. Linda enjoy less church meetings! But you have one condition to you retiring from churchwarden, you have to be there for when I have loads of questions.

Those of you sitting there thinking maybe I could be churchwarden, you are welcome. I am going into my third year and I can only stand for 6 years at one time.

Lastly, we welcome Bishop Guli to the Diocese as Bishop of Chelmsford. As a church we pray for her and her family in her new role.

St Michael’s Church, Aveley

My brief reflection on church life over the last 12 months

The year of lockdown has brought church life, with all its complexities, into stark focus. For many people church life was not just worship, important as it is, but all the other things attached to it such as sociability, skills, hobbies, commerce, responsibility, friendship, habit continuity, volunteering, belonging, charity, service, and communal worship. These things are life enhancing, and when removed can have a devastating effect on our well-being and life in general.

At St Michael's we had, and still have, a contact link with each other which worked very well throughout lockdown and is still having a positive impact on our lives. Like many other churches up and down the country our congregations are mainly over 50 and some are on the over 65 spectrum and are living alone with the risk of isolation in a pandemic so they need regular contact with family, friends and their church.

The one thing I find disturbing is the lack of focus on the clergy throughout this pandemic. Unfortunately, the older generation, with experiences from years gone by, saw the clergy as the leaders of the flock and as the "Church", for want of a better description. Back then the clergy were expected to be there in person for everyone. Now, everyone is in the same boat with the same risks of serious illness from COVID 19, including the clergy.

As far as I know there is no mechanism set up to support the clergy, especially those who are living alone and whose immediate family structure is not in the local community or readily at hand. Who watches out for them? If no one does then we should have a conversation about the future and how we care for everyone in our team and in the broader church?

There is also the question of members giving in their weekly contribution, either by envelopes, direct in the plate or by cheques. This is not about asking people for money, it is about people who wanted to continue giving on a regular basis. For some people it is a matter of responsibility or duty, call it what you like, they just want to give their dues and need a clear structure set up for them to do so when there is no access to the church.

A massive thank you to Tara and Matt for distributing the Christmas meals on Christmas Eve. I had many many phone calls from everyone who was served with a fantastic meal and, in some cases meals enough for Christmas day and Boxing day. Dermot at the Fleet in Purfleet prepared the meals alongside his staff who stepped up to help. That was community support at its best and a great example of people in the community working with the church in its ministry to help those in need. That donation was a huge act of kindness by Dermot assisted by his staff and by the delivery drivers, Tara and Matt.

St Stephen’s Churchwarden report to APCM 2020 – 2021

The year started much like any other coming out of the joyful Christmastide Season. However, all that soon changed and as it has progressed is has be unlike any other. The emergence, the taking root and overwhelming impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic has led to a disruption of every aspect of church life as we know it.

Throughout the pandemic we have taken a safety-first approach. With this in mind and following Government and Church guidance we have offered a combination of liturgical and private worship. Additionally, we have worked closely with the St Stephen’s Community Trust, Food Bank, and others to enable the church premises to be used safely for the benefit of the wider Purfleet community. This has meant that throughout all the lockdowns and restrictions at least some part of the church’s premises has been in use. It is a great blessing to be able to serve our community at a time of such great need.

Church Building and Grounds

Electrical Remediation Works

These works were finally completed in July of 2020 and the instillation and inspection certificate has been issued.

Other checks including fire safety has been completed.

There was a mice problem for a short time which we were able to nip in the bud. All the usual maintenance works on the building and grounds continue to be done and the premises are in reasonably good order.

There are a few pieces of work still to be carried out.

While it is important to highlight the things completed, it is also important to remember the pieces of work still to be done.

P a g e | 6

Loose roof tiles

A survey of the roof still needs to be carried out to confirm the extent of the repairs to be carried out. A section of the roof mortar over the kitchen has now fallen out and will require replacing.

Stone Font

We need to contact the stone mason to get the font which is currently outside repositioned in the Sanctuary. There is a standing offer to pay for the remaking to the font cover (originally donated by the scouts) reusing the brass pieces. The wood looks to be irreparably damaged by years of exposure to the elements.

Window

Lead work on the large window (South East of the Nave) is coming away from the glass. It has been looked at by Grays Glass and they provided two estimates one for remaking at £900 and another for repairing at £250. I have requested that they book in the repair. I have not been able to secure a slot with Grays Glass to do this work.

The War Memorial

We are now looking into raising the funds needed to properly secure the two original plaques. This has been estimated at £650. Considering the cost to replace the two new ones we really need to get on and do this work. I have not had any response regarding the approach to Thurrock council to assist with paying for this so I will propose we press on and get this done ourselves.

Trees

There has not been any progress yet to have the trees on the grounds looked at by a tree surgeon to determine if they need cutting back.

Miscellaneous

I have started speaking with a local handyman regarding some of the outstanding repairs and I am awaiting a quote.

Finally, I want to say thank you to Reverend Tara and Father Matt for their support, consistency, and steadfast commitment to ensuring we are able to serve the St Stephen’s and Mardyke Team Family and the wider communities of which we are part.

St Nicholas’ Church, South Ockendon Church Warden’s Report 2020/21

When I wrote about the challenges of Diocesan finances, etc. last year, little did we know quite what storms the pandemic would bring. However, with God’s grace we soldier on. Here are some reflections.

Fabric

In terms of the building, I am glad to say as ever that ‘she’s still standing’! Only a small amount of plaster has fallen from the roof and any dampness we find is as a result of what is underneath and ancient, rather than anything more to do with the roof. Beyond this, with so little use of the building during the last year, there is little to say. Only one heating boiler is currently working. We have a couple of tiles that have come off of the porch roof on the west side. It has been some time since the organ was tuned as we have not used it.

Our PA system has ceased to be usable. We were aware that the speakers were making a most unpleasant sound and this system is quite elderly, so will need consideration. At the moment we have set up a basic PA and mixer that Alex & I had at home so we can manage for the minute. We also need to take a look at the radio mics.

The general state of the building continues to be a worry; there are many urgent issues. Our quinquennial is coming up in the next few weeks and many things from the 2011 and 2016 inspections have never been addressed. However, this requires someone having the time to put to it; those of us involved in doing things in church already have very full plates and serious funding will need to be sought.

There has been no progress on the hall. It remains in its semi-derelict state.

We have had one or two ‘visitors’ who have set up home in the church porch. While we have referred them to the necessary agencies to ensure they are supported appropriately, this continues to be a concern.

As we venture back into the building, we will need to start looking at broadening the team for flowers, cleaning, etc. Thank you to Glynis and Anne Pool who have started on some of the easier to undertake tasks like clearing the ivy from the churchyard wall and trying to make some improvements on the noticeboard – which will also need replacing as it is beyond repair.

Events

Our large events have not been able to take place and our finances have taken a hit as a result. We have been running a monthly Quiz Night, which has generated around £100 each month, mostly covering what would have been given in the open plate collection in services. Thanks to those who have supported these. In addition, with the help of eBay/WeBuyBooks I have also managed to clear much of what had built up on the jumble stall that I had run at the last few fairs, generating another £300-400 for church funds.

Worship

At the start of lockdown last year, in discussion with Fr Peter, we agreed that our offering to the Team would be daily worship and we established a pattern of Morning Prayer and Sunday Services which were streamed on our Facebook page – initially an All-Age Service shared between Fr Peter and Fr Alex (and Fr Thomas the monkey!), adding once a week Night Prayer and Evening Prayer on Zoom (led by myself and Fr Alex) as well as a Sunday social. We have continued these throughout the last year and have been glad to share the load with others. Currently Morning Prayer is uploaded each weekday morning with Revd Tara, Fr Matt, Fr Alex and myself taking a day each week. I am grateful that as I have returned to work (rather than working from home) Anne Pool has been able to take on the additional day. Morning Prayer has been well received with a number of regulars accessing this each week, from all over the world.

Weekly Night Prayer (Tuesdays) and Evening Prayer (Fridays) have brought together a small but dedicated group from across the team and further afield, and this has been a time of spiritual growth and mutual support for all of us. It has been lovely to get to know each other better and a stand out moment the other Sunday was when two of our group, one from St Nick’s and the other St Michael’s, met in person for the first time having been at our Zoom gatherings for the last year!

In Fr Peter’s absence we have experimented with a recorded service of All-Age worship, but this is on hold at the moment. Live-streamed Mass on a Thursday and Sunday continues to be streamed via Facebook

Church Life

As a result of the pandemic, Wednesday coffee and Holy Toast have been on hold. We will need to think and pray about our ongoing outreach as we start to open the building again.

Like many churches in the diocese, and mindful of the plea from Bishop Peter that we continue to pay our Parish Share, we have stopped our Share payments for the moment to enable us to pay other bills. Some giving has come in through the Facebook page – including a donation from America after a chance conversation on a Historic Churches group on Facebook, for which we are very grateful. In the meantime, the Diocese have continued to look at stipendiary posts and moved from an affordability model to one where posts are RAG rated (red/amber/green) on how ‘important’ they are in making sure ministry is possible in a particular area. We need to be realistic in our expectations in this area in the future.

Fr Peter has now been off sick for most of the last year, on and off. We continue to hold both him and Richard in our prayers. While we have managed to sustain our online provision, and tried between us to provide pastoral support to everyone in our church family, it is good that Fr Matt will now be focussed on looking after us for the time being.

John

It was with great sorrow that we learned of John Pettit’s death in June. From a personal point of view, John was the first person to welcome Alex & I to St Nick’s and one of the main reasons we stayed. As well as being Glynis’ constant support he was part of the very

P a g e | 9

stones of St Nicholas. It seemed particularly unfair that pandemic restrictions prevented more of us from being able to celebrate his life – although for someone who chose to stay quietly in the background, maybe that would have been more to his liking. I wonder what response I would get if I asked him?

Thanks

There are many thanks to be given, even in a year such as this. Thanks to Glynis for everything she has done to pastorally support all those who do not have access to the technology, thanks to Gladys for her daily words of encouragement, thank you to Fr Alex for pitching in with online worship and his wonderful children’s talks, thanks to the team who have pulled together All-Age Worship. Thank you to all those who have supported the quizzes, worshipped and socialised with us online, those who have continued to serve on Deanery Synod, PCC and DCC and those who are prepared to continue to do so. Thank you to Tara and Matt for your hard work and steering us through the most challenging of times.

Finally, I would like to say a huge thank you to my outgoing fellow Church Warden, Steve, and our Treasurer Julie. When they came along to our quiz night back in 2017 I don’t think any of us knew how involved they were going to become. Looking back over the last three years, despite the mountain ahead of us, we have made some real headway. You are going to be sorely missed. Thank you for all that you have done and we hope you find a good church a little closer to home (and with less things falling from the ceiling!).

Please pray for us as we continue the journey.

PCC Secretary’s Report for the Mardyke Team Ministry 2021

The PCC consists of the Clergy, Readers, Churchwardens, lay representatives from each of the Team churches and Deanery Synod representatives. This year has been like no other we have known, due to the Covid 19 Pandemic, which resulted in a country wide Lockdown. We have managed one Zoom PCC meeting with all other business being conducted by e- mail and telephone.

It is true to say that all of us have been deeply affected by our churches being closed during lockdown. Reverend Tara and Father Matt have provided streamed Holy Communion services throughout the year. But not everyone has been able to access these. Katia D’Arcy Cumber and Father Alex took responsibility for streaming Morning and Evening Prayer. The first Lockdown meant that there were no in person Holy Week and Easter services, nor Ascension or Pentecost. Gradually it was deemed safe to open for private prayer, but because of the safety fears, only one person at a time was allowed this privilege. Later as lockdown restrictions eased, two churches weekly were able to offer a Sunday Eucharist, one at either end of the Parish. However, because of the continued need for social distancing (two metres) and other safety concerns, numbers were restricted, we received in one kind only and there was no singing! Our clergy, were willing to take two services at these churches if numbers warranted it. Tara took responsibility for funeral services as

P a g e | 10

Father Peter was signed off and Father Matt was shielding. She also continued her hospital visiting and chaplaincy work. And made difficult decisions with support from the PCC.

At All Saints, Linda and Louis, our church wardens, have worked together to ensure that the congregation have been kept informed of all the changes. Food Bank has been operating from All Saints on Thursdays and Saturdays. Eventually the Saturday slot will return to Saint Michael’s, and on Fridays at Purfleet, We were able to meet on Monday afternoons for a socially distanced lunch and chat, once the first lockdown restrictions began to ease. In June an open -air service was held at All Saints thanks to Tara. Luckily the weather was kind! Linda, Sue, Henry and Rob have made regular phone calls to our congregation and members of the various groups attached to the church, to make sure we were all okay and to update. Other members have also kept in touch with each other. Newsletters have been e-mailed or delivered to all our congregation. Christmas cards were delivered with a drop in and take out system. Unfortunately, no children’s activities have been able to take place. Some income was received from the Hall thanks to a donation that enabled a path to be built along the far side, which meant that a one way in and one way out system could be used by groups. This fulfilled health and safety conditions and without it we would not have been able to open to the public. Our thanks to Linda for overseeing this.

Saint Michael’s congregation had been planning significant celebrations of the 900[th] anniversary of the church’s founding but none of this was able to take place in 2020. The food bank moved to All Saints’ as those who usually run it were shielding. As at All Saints’ people kept contact with each other to offer support and prayers. Because of the structure of the church building, numbers were limited for services when they were able to take place. Sadly, John Knight, former organist and choirmaster at Saint Michael’s, died. Although he had been unwell for some time, it was an unexpected death. On a more optimistic note, Zyle Mills will be running a fruit and veg stall in the grounds of Saint Michael’s from April 15[th] 2021. This will give a regular income to the church.

Saint Nicholas used Zoom etc to reach out to members of their congregation. They have held virtual coffee mornings and quiz nights. These were organised by Katia and Steve primarily. When we were able to re-open, they had to limit numbers attending services due to the restrictions in place. Sadly, John Pettit died during lockdown and will be greatly missed when Saint Nicholas fully opens. He was an active member of Saint Nicholas, serving on the DCC for many years as well as reading lessons and generally being there when needed. Our thoughts continue to be with Glynis and the family.

Saint Stephen’s were able to use lockdown to apply to carry out work in the grounds. Foodbank has been continuing to run on a Friday and has seen an increase in footfall, thanks go to the local community volunteers who have helped to keep it running. Zyle launched ‘Heavenly Greens’, a fruit and veg stall in the grounds of Saint Stephen’s. This was open for Church and Community. Delivery was offered to all who were shielding at this time.

The second lockdown was harder as we were all looking forward to our Christmas services and meeting with family. Unfortunately, a variant of the original virus caused such an increase in infections that we had to close again as the country went back into lockdown. In the New Year, vaccinations began and we thanked God for giving scientists the skills to develop this. Father Matt continued to organise Bible Study via Zoom which was at times problematic, but those who shared it were glad of the fellowship it provided. He followed that with a Lent course and with Reflections for Holy Week. These have been e-mailed to

P a g e | 11

anyone who required them with hard copies being available too. After Easter, he will temporarily take services at All Saints’ and Saint Nicholas, while Revd. Tara will take services at Saint Michael’s and Saint Stephen’s. This is to cover Father Peter’s absence. Christmas dinners were delivered to members of the church and the wider community where people were alone and were unable to join family because of lockdown. This was funded by donations in cash and kind. Our thanks go to the staff of The Fleet at Purfleet who prepared and cooked the meals. West and Coe helped to fund the meals and Revd. Tara, Father Matt delivered them. A big thankyou to all of them.

Part of the problem of re-opening our churches, even for private prayer, was making sure that all the requisite rules were kept as received from the Government and The Diocese. Linda, Henry, Tara and Sara were involved in making sure that the churches were kept clean and disinfected. Linda organised anti-viral handwash, paper towels and masks for all four churches. She also co-ordinated who wished to attend services so that numbers were not exceeded and contact details were kept. This ensured people’s safety and was in keeping with the 2 metre distancing rules too.

A Team Prayer list was created and e-mailed to all PCC and DCC members. It was also added to All Saints’ and Saint Nicholas weekly notice sheet. The APCM for 2020 finally took place on the 25[th] October using Zoom. To ensure that everyone possible had a voice in the proceedings, paperwork was distributed to all on the Mardyke Team Electoral Roll. We used e-mail and delivered hard copies where needed or preferred. Voting was sent to me as Secretary and collated accordingly. This years APCM will be held on the 23[rd] May and we hope it could be person to person- socially distanced naturally- otherwise Zoom again!

The Diocese have kept us up to date with recommendations and guidance throughout, not all concerned with covid or finance! From the 1[st] April 2020 the Faculty system has altered. We have yet to discuss the implications of this at PCC but it will be an agenda item in the future. Bishop Stephen moved on to become the new Archbishop of York and the Diocese of Chelmsford had a new Bishop appointed. She is the Right Reverend, Doctor Guli FrancisDelqani.

As I write this, our churches have re-opened so that we were able to celebrate Easter as a congregation. Our thanks go to Reverend Tara and Father Matt for all the work they have carried out at this time. Despite the lack of hymns, certainly at All Saints, it was an inspiring service, greatly appreciated by us all and I am sure it was the same in our other three churches.

As we move forward, let us all count our blessings and prepare for the work ahead. Give thanks for our clergy and our wardens, without whom life would have been far more difficult and give thanks to God who has been there with us.

Sue Stamp Secretary.

Clergy Reports

The last year has been ... an interesting one! When I was Licensed as Team Vicar in 2019 I did not expect a year in to be having to close the doors of the Church, and to be saying Mass from my study. But then as the Chinese malediction says 'may you live in interesting times', and these have been interesting ones. But the call of the Church has always been to be contextual, that is to minister to the time and place we're in.

If the last year has taught me anything, it has been the importance of Place, People, and Music:

Place, because saying Mass in my study is nit the same as saying Mass in Church, a place where in the words of the poet TS Eliot 'prayer has been made valid'. Our prayers are valid anywhere, but our churches are places where the firmament that separates earth from heaven has been worn thin. Being back in Church to say Mass, whether on my own or with a congregation has been a real blessing, though I do understand the reasons why we had to close our doors for a time.

People. That said saying Mass in an empty building has been lonely. Joining with others in worshipping God and sharing the Sacraments opens both up in a profound way. Which leads to Music.

Music as we know feeds the soul. As St Augustine says 'those who sing pray twice'. Whilst we cannot yet sing together in Church, having music during worship adds deeper colour and texture to our prayer.

Outside of Church I have been helping at St Stephen’s Foodbank, which has developed its own community of volunteers. Lockdown has also allowed me to get to know Purfleet's

P a g e | 13

hidden highways and byways in a new way, as walking the dog has given me the opportunity to be present in the community in a new way.

Finally, in the closing weeks of this last year I have become more involved on the life of the northern part of our Team, helping Tara and the Churchwardens to care for All Saints and St Nicholas’s in Fr Peter's absence.

To conclude, if this past year has taught us anything, it us the value of community, and those whose work maintains the life of our communities. The past 40 years have seen the breaking of strands which connect us together as communities, whilst the past twelve months have shown us the need for those ties. Strengthening those ties needs more than just our clapping key workers, but also ensuring that they get the support they need.

Fr Matt

This year has been one of continual learning. We have learnt more about ourselves and the way that we relate to each other. What is valuable in our lives and who we miss.

The Churches had to close their doors in March, and we have learnt how to live stream services and edit videos together. Zoom has become a regularly used and valuable part of life. Morning prayer has been said, evening and night prayer hosted, quiz nights and coffee and chat sessions. Letters have been sent out with service details and greetings.

Throughout all lockdowns the Churches have remained a vital part of the wider community, three foodbank distribution centres have continued their work in All Saints on a Thursday, St Stephen on a Friday and the St Michaels centre has temporarily moved to All Saints on a Saturday, we have seen many members of our community through difficulty, many of whom had never used a foodbank before. The Churches have hosted private prayer and socially distanced services, we have taken many funerals and ministered to their families. When the pandemic is under control and we can have full churches again we will be hosting many memorial services. We have distributed Christmas dinners and lent in a bag packs. Had nativity scenes in gateways and porches and outdoor services.

My thanks go to all who have worked so hard this year to enable our worshipping community to thrive. Those who have faithfully telephoned members of the congregation to keep them in touch and ensure their wellbeing. Those who have said Morning Prayer, evening prayer and night prayer regularly, who have cleaned the Churches and ensured that they remain in good order. Those who have moved furniture and marked out floors for social distancing. The hosts of zoom quiz nights, Bible studies and coffee and chats. The volunteers who have kept Foodbanks going and those who have faithfully worshipped with us in whichever way was possible.

As we move forward we need to consider the lessons we have learned from this period. Which of the innovations will we continue and how will we do that? How will we as a team come back to ‘normality’? what will our new normal look like? As we explore these questions I am sure we will stumble occasionally and learn much.

P a g e | 14

Most of all I would like to thank all of you for your forbearance, courage and faithfulness over the last year.

Financial review

Total receipts on ordinary unrestricted funds were £52,162 and are detailed in the financial statements.

£67,297 was spent to provide the Christian ministry from All Saints, St Michael’s, St Nicholas and St Stephen’s, including the contribution to the diocesan parish share, which largely provides the stipends and housing for the clergy. The sum that the churches in the deanery have to find is shared between the churches according to a formula that is based mainly on a head count of the congregations.

The net result for the year was a deficit of receipts over payments of £19,138. The balances carried forward of 31 December for unrestricted funds including designated funds totalled £12,034.

It is PCC policy to maintain a balance on unrestricted funds (if possible), which equates to approximately six months’ unrestricted payments, to cover emergency situations that may arise from time to time. The balance of £12,034 on unrestricted funds (including designated) at the year-end did not match this target.

The shortfall was due to the closures of the Churches following the global Coronavirus Pandemic which affected giving. It will be rectified once the need to socially distance is lifted enabling the services to return to unrestricted numbers and occasional offices to restart.

The balance of in the restricted funds is retained towards their designated purpose.

It is our policy to invest our funds balances with the CDBF Church of England Deposit Fund.

Approved by the PCC on and signed on their behalf by Revd AT Frankland (PCC chairman).

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Parochial Church Council of The Ecclesiastical Parish of the Mardyke Team Ministry.

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020 which are set out on pages 19 to 43.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records.

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
