11 Statement of Trustees Responsibilities The Charities Commission requires the trustees to prepare financial statements that show a true and fair state of the charities financial position which we have sort to do, presenting figures clearly so our members can see how the charity is placed financially. 12. Review of the Year.

We have sort to maintain our weekly programme of Worship services at 10.30am (during this service we have a Sunday school foe Children) and 6.30pm on Sunday, with a Bible study and Prayer meeting on Wednesday evening. A toddler group is run on a Thursday morning at 10.00am. Once a month we hold a Tuesday Lunch. All these activities are open to all to attend. During Lockdown many of our activities had to close in line with government instruction and we moved as much as possible online using Streaming and Zoom to maintain contact at a time when many people felt isolated and lonely.

1. Insurance Policy Our policies have been reviewed during the year.

2. Safeguarding All our volunteers and Trustees are subject to clearance through the Disclosure and Barring using the agency of Thirtyone:Eight.

3. Investment Policy.

The trustees have power to make investments in line with the agreed constitution, at the present time all monies are tied up in the day to day running of the charity. 16. Voluntary Help

The trustees are very appreciative of the generous support of the church members in terms of help both time and financial without which the charity could not function as it does.

Signed on behalf of the Trustees of Chorley Evangelical Free Church.
