Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Osprey
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 30[th] June 2024, which are set out on pages 8 to 10.
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(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008
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.

Trustees' Report (Continued)
In August 2023 OSPREY reached its 32nd year of charitable fundraising in Hull and East Yorkshire.
In the year July 2023 to June 2024 we organised 10 events including: 1 Royal Protection Lunch, 2 Literary Lunches, 2 Fashion Show Days,
2 Christmas Party events and rounding off in April 2024, with an Antiques Valuation Day with local auctioneer and valuer, Caroline Hawley of BBC fame!
Each of these events was, as ever, well attended and once again we raised significant funds. (£19,903)
Thank you to all the trustees for their continued support of all of these events.
A special thank you must go to my fellow officers Syd Howey and Sheila English. Syd, in spite of poor health continued, as treasurer, to balance our finances. Thank you. Sheila, our secretary continued expediting the minutes of our 'wordy' meetings and writing endless emails, thank you letters and letters organising details of events. Thank you Sheila.
Thanks to Vanessa Chetham for her continued generosity, sourcing a donating beautiful raffle prizes. Thank you, Vanessa.
Thanks too to Debbie Sutton,our star ticket seller. We couldn't do it without you! Thank you Debbie.
Final thanks to Paul Drant who generously gives his time and expertise to ensure we comply with the demands of The Charity Commission.
Thank you all, I am very grateful.
It is the policy of the charity to maintain unrestricted funds, the free reserves of the charity, at a level which equates to approximately six months unrestricted expenditure.
The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 1993. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the preventions and discretion of fraud and other irregularities.

Report of the President
I welcome the report that the Centre for Metabolic Disease in Hull is one of 10 accredited regional hubs in the UK for metabolic bone disease and that they are developing a regional multidisciplinary team with Leeds and Sheffield. I also note the increased research activity and publications. I hope that the department will soon have the appropriate number of technicians to meet the increasing demand on the service.
I also note the good news that the Fracture Liaison Service now covers the East Riding of Yorkshire and not just Hull which was a sad omission.
The continuing relationship with the University of Hull is welcomed. Interesting to note that they have acquired a DXA scanner for themselves to support their research work. I look forward to the outcome of their research on bone loading to increase bone density.
So, thank you to all concerned in maintaining the high profile of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis in Hull and the East Riding.
Dr Susan Ann Steel President of OSPREY
