Nothing in this Constitution shall aulhorise an appli(ation of the property for purposes that are not charitable in aCrdan with Section 7 of the Charities and Trustees Investment (Scolland) Act 2005 or Section 2 of the Charities Act Summa of main activitles in relation to these ob After a thirteen month dosure because of the Covid 19 global pandemic. the Church building re-opened for worship on Easter Sunday. April 4th 2021 and has ntInued to meet each Sunday Sin then albeit with certain restrictions. the latter having had to vary with govemment and denominational advice. All the major Chrislian festivals have been lebrated. The Zoom online facility ft)r dea¢x)ns. small groups and Church meetings was gradually phased out during 2021 as We the texted daily readings. However other spiritual study sessions were rnaintsined at Lent and Advent. Many pre£ovid churth activities have yet to resume. The inforrnation about all actsvibes is shared via an Annual Report and the Annual Budget of the Churth indudes the provision for supporting our Io(21, national and intemational commitments. SECTION D ACHIEVEMEKfs AND PERFORMANCE Summa of the main achievements of the cha . durin The whole of the last year has been one of moving cauliously forward by having regular proceduTrl reviews arKI gradualty tying to restore people's conffiden. Strict Covid precautions were in pla for many months and some are still needed especially as new Covid variants emerge. Church attendan has averaged about 50 although some members still remain uneasy about retuming to the building. The opportunity for people to meet socially for tea and biscuits after worship has been done in a controlled manner
Until June 2021 ServIS were still aSIble on Zoom for those who preferred not to meet in person. The cording of *rViS on to CDS for a few households also continued until July 2021. The pastoral care of the fellowship and other infonnation has continued to be shared through a WhatsApp group. texts. phone 12lls and some visits aloro with a monthly news sheet. The Church trustees have met monthly, and. in person Sin May 2021. They have sought to stay abreast of national and denominational guidelines. maintain fellovtship updates and plan any practi1 resFKJnses connected to the pandemic. The Church did hold a Gift Day in September 2021 and was gratified by an exlIent response especially as reserves have had to be used to (x)mpensate for a fall in income from user groups and car park donations. The Church has not been able to hold any of ts SQCTal V4rents but we are pleased that some of our outside groups have resumed regular meetings even though some of their s()cial interacttons have had to be limited. It has also been pleasing to note that since February 2022 five new groups have been welcomed on to our Church premises. SECTION E Flnanclal Revlew The Church holds its funds wtthin four ac(x)unt areas. sin April 2021 we have started to meet back in the Church following Covid 19 guidelines. We are gradually retuming back to °normal". Our revenue for roorn hire and car park is slowly improving. We have not held any fund-rdising events. This has resulted in a loss of addttional income and we have had to use reserves set aside for other projects. SECTION F Land and Buildin The church has the use of two build1TS. The Church building on Chaucer Street, which is used for weekly communal worship and ojmmunity activits'es. And also. a manse which provides a home for the incumbent minister and farnity- The deeds to both buildings and land are held by The North Westem Baptist Association and would be managed by the asso(aation in the event of church dosure.

The key objectives of the charity are as follows: The advancement of Christian fatth according to the Principles of the Baptist denomination. The church may also advance education and carry out other charitsble purposes in the UK andlorother parts ofthe world These objectives are clearly underpinned and sUPPOrted by the charities attFVFties and this has been taken into account when validating the accounts and I confim) that spending is in line wrth these key activities with the majorrty of outgoing5 being spent on the general upkeep. wages. or day to day running of the church as well as charitsble donattons off the back of fijndraising. The finances of the charity are organised and facilitated by Colin Heywc*)d who is trustee and treasUr of the charity, the filing system is clear and the recording accurate and contain5:
Details of all income/money received and paymerstslexpenditure made, the date. and the nature of the income/mtJw ceiVed or payments/expenditure and a record of any stocks and fixed assets held Details of any assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period The charty has receipts and Invoices to SUPPOrt the accounts for each of which I have validated. The charity have a dear way of tracking transactions both in and OLrt of the account through both bank ststements and their own reporting system managed through an ex1 spreadsheet. Where the charity have paTd an invoice or daimed back funds they have clearly outlined thi5 against the receipt of transfer/cheque number by which the amount vias paid ensuring that the information is easily accessible and clear to understand. The funds have been clearly separated and reported correcdy in line with guidelines. The accounting record5 are set out in line wrth section 130 of the 2011 Act: disclose at any time with reasonable accuracy. the financial position of the charity at that time enable the trustees to ensure that. Whe any 5taternerrts of account are prepared by them under section 132111. those statements of accounts compty wtth the requirements of the regulations under section 132111 I can confimi that I have completed examination of comparison between the charities accounts and the accounting records and that the a consistent wtth each other. I have been able to clearly understand the income of the charity and how it has spent Éts charitsble funds and that this spending aligns with the charity obiectives Outlined in the trustee's annual report. From reviewing the material rtems in the account I have not identified any ktern for which the charity need to vouch for. I can confimi that from the information reviewed eath of the tnstee's have acted in line with the interests of the charity and see no evidence of Pfiwdte benefft to either a trustee or tated party. The truste& have managed the charivs funds and other resources effectively to enable the charity to pay its bills and meet and liabilities that may fall due. The trustee's did referen in their pOrt a reduced income due to Covid-19 restrictions preventing them from acquiring usual additional income through room htre and (zr park rental causing them to dip into reserves set aside in the even of Church dosure howeverthe port does outline attivities undertaken to mitigate utilization of these reserves moving fotV4ard. The level of reserves are not at a concerning level that could impact the operation of the chartly. As per regulation 10 of the Charities regulations 2W8 the balance sheet is held and stgned by at least one of the trustees of the charity. There are a number of months throughout the yearwhereby the charity have exceeded their budget however this has been largely impacted by limited attÈvit]es being undertaken and additional sources of income being curbed due to the Co¥id-19 pandemÈc outlined in the annual report and the position has improved since the removal of restrittion5 resuking in the charity being in line with their budget.
The details of activtttes undertsken and the costs ass0(iated are dearty outlined in the chartties annual report and align wtth that of the accounts. Condusion I can confimi that from completing the independent review that the matters I have been required to review a5 set out by the 2CM)8 Regulations have been met.
