Report to the AGM Trinity Bookshop Trust 2022
We are thankful for the completion of a number of matters this year which were outstanding: repair of wall on the upstairs landing, stair carpet, new heating system and lease agreement.
Our volunteers have worked hard not only to do their regular sessions but to fill in gaps in the rota which has meant that we have been able to continue the new arrangement to have 2 volunteers each day from 10am to 3pm 6days a week. Judy Crook has been active in finding and training new helpers but of course we welcome more offers. Although it would be good to extend our opening hours, retailers in Matlock are still working flexibly some choosing to close on Mondays.
There is a significant change in the type of shopping in Matlock reflecting the increase in newcomers and tourists. Key systems in the shop have been affected by retirement of long serving helpers and finding replacement on the IT side and suitable software for sales and stock control difficult. The website now that Ann Barry is leaving will need to be reviewed. A small group has met to look at publicity and a system to make contact with local churches in the wider area initiated, this has already produced some good results. Bookstalls have been successful but it has been more difficult to support larger conferences.
We have opened up our Upper room for rest and refreshments during the Victorian weekend but it has not had the same use as before Covid. The regular Monday prayer meeting continues, the healing group meets fortnightly. Church on the Bus meets every Tuesday. A further room will be added when our tenant moves to Wirksworth. We need greater vision to fulfil promises made concerning these rooms. We continue to support Matlock Area Schools Trust and Jigsaw Food Bank.
Amanda Thomas has joined our small group of trustees bringing her practical experience to our discussions. Andy Kawalek has been active overseas especially in Ukraine and we have been able to support him. Despite fewer meetings we have all worked well together and a tea meeting gave an opportunity to all to meet up.
Our AGM hosted by Steep Turnpike provided an interesting opportunity to meet Neil Batty the MD of Potters House which supplies our cards and gifts It was well attended.
We look to strengthening our trustees numbers to bring in a continuing vision for the future. And are thankful for the local support we have from regular customers across a wide area due to fewer Christian bookshops available.
We are grateful for your continuing prayer.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF TRINITY BOOKSHOP**
I report on the accounts of Trinity Bookshop (registered charity number 510203) for the year ended 31 December 2021 which are set out on pages 2 to 5.
## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act;
- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b)) of the Charities Act; and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement**
My examination was carried out in accordance with general directions given by the Charity Commission. 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 you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a "true and fair" view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent Examiner's Statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect, the requirements:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and
- - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
- (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
