## **Main Activities and Achievements** 

Following Government Guidelines, the church building has not always been open during the last year due to the Covid 19 pandemic. So, this has been a very different year bringing new challenges. At times services were run online and after service coffee, tea and a chat was moved to zoom. When the building was open, numbers were limited and so 2 services were run.  Physical attendance was lower, with a lot of the congregation choosing to watch or listen to the online service. 

Prayer meetings and life groups were run on zoom. Also, a few social chat groups were run during the week on zoom to try and keep people connected in the safest way possible.  Other groups, such as coffee morning, toddlers and knit and natter, were, unfortunately, cancelled for the time being. As were community events that would normally be run throughout the year. The charity continued to focus on its main aims and objectives taking into consideration the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. The trustees continued to talk regularly over zoom and the phone to ensure the smooth running of the charity. 

Financial contributions were down slightly but with out goings reduced too this didn’t prove to be a concern.  The trustees regularly reviewed the finances to ensure good management of this aspect of the charity.

||I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above<br>charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31/03/2021.<br>As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the<br>accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011<br>(“the Act”).<br>I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out<br>under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I<br>have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission<br>under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.|||



**Independent** I have completed my examination.  I confirm that no material matters have **examiner's statement** come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or 

- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair’ view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

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.
