Chairperson’s Report 4[th] November 2021 

This year has yet again been quite restricted due to the Covid-19 pandemic, but the staff have done a fantastic job in keeping things running and also in supporting the children to adapt to the new routines within the preschool. 

There have been some staffing changes this year, but Judith, Lisa and Katy have kept things going to the usual high standard and Keri has now joined the team. I’d just like to say a. big thank you to them all, and I’m sure my fellow parents would agree. 

Fundraising has also been restricted again, but the preschool was able to sell cards and tea towels and bags that the children designed. 

Some of the committee parents also developed a promotional video for the preschool, featuring the setting and some of the children. 

Standing as a chairperson this has been a lovely opportunity to contribute something to a brilliant charitable organization that helped my daughter and now my son throughout their different stages of learning and development. 

It would be most appreciated if anyone can spare the time to take a place on the committee and support the preschool to continue thriving.

**Independent examiner's report on the accounts** 


**Section A                        Independent Examiner’s Report** 

**Report to the trustees/ members of** 

Whitchurch Preschool 

**On accounts for the year ended** 

31[st] August 2021 **Charity no** 1020798 **(if any)** 

**Set out on pages** 

2 

2 (remember  to include the page numbers of additional sheets) 

**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 the 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** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention (other than that disclosed below *) 

## **examiner's statement** 

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.

## **Section B                           Disclosure** 

Only complete if the examiner needs to highlight material problems.(E.g. accounting records have not been kept in accordance with s132 of the Charities’ Act 2011 and those accounts do not comply with the requirements of the 2008 Regulations setting out the form and content of charity accounts; any material expenditure or action which appears not to be in accordance with the trusts of the charity; any failure to be provided with information and explanations by any past or present trustee, officer or employee; and any material consistency between the accounts and the trustees’ annual report.)
