ST ANDREW'S UNITED REFORMED CHURCH BALHAM CHARITY 1189024 CRM:0817819
Annual return and Treasurer’s report 2024
This charity has undergone delays in submitting its returns as it was set up by a former Minister without the support or engagement of the Treasurer and it was run by him with other trustees not being aware of the arrangements.
The accounts have continued to be prepared by the Treasurer but on the assumption that the church was operating as an excepted charity under the THE UNITED REFORMED CHURCH (SOUTHERN SYNOD) TRUST LIMITED Charity number: 282270southern synod . Therefore the accounts are prepared in a book rather than online and signed by an independent examiner on the book.
The Minister left the church and the denomination in September 2022 but did not reassign the contact details. I became aware of this when one of the remaining trustees received reminder letters to submit the accounts and as a volunteer from another church and member of the Pastoral Committee I am trying to retrieve the information to submit and then ensure the charity is up to date and operating in compliance.
Thank you
