The Trust is governed by a constitution, which was adopted on 8[th] December 2004 and amended on 5[th] May 2009. The charity was established to enhance the development and education of children primarily under statutory school age by offering play, education and care facilities. ## **Principal activity** The principal activity of the trust is to provide day care facilities for pre-school age children. In setting our objectives and planning our activities, the Trustees have given careful consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit. ## **Trustees** Trustees who served during the year are detailed on the Information page. ## **Recruitment and appointment of Trustees** The charity’s work focuses on young people. The Trustees seek to ensure that the needs of this group are appropriately reflected through the diversity of the trustee body. The more traditional business skills are well represented on the Board of Trustees. In the event of particular skills being lost due to retirements, individuals are approached to offer themselves for election to the Board of Trustees. ## **Results for the year** The Trustees are of the opinion that the financial position of the charity is satisfactory and anticipate no difficulties in meeting the obligations of the charity. ## **Reserves policy** It is the aim of the Trustees to maintain funds, which are the free reserves of the charity, at a level which provides sufficient funds to cover redundancy payments should such arise. ## **Risk management** The Trustees have undertaken a detailed consideration of the financial and other risks to which the charity may be exposed and have agreed that these are adequately mitigated by the nature of the charity’s activities and the specific circumstances in which it operates. Internal controls risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects. Procedures are in place to ensure compliance with health and safety of staff, volunteers and associates. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they continue to meet the requirements of the charity in satisfying the statutory and moral obligations imposed by its activities.

Allan Wall (Chair) Page 1 ## **Busy Kids @ Bromham** ## _**Independent Examiner’s report to the Trustees of**_ ## _**Busy Kids @ Bromham for the year ended 31[st] August 2020**_ We report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31[st] August 2020, which are set out on pages 3 to 5. ## **Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner** The Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the Financial Statements. The Charity’s Trustees consider that, as audit is not required this year under Section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act), and that an independent examination is needed. It is our responsibility to: - Examine the accounts under section 43(3)(a) of the 1993 Act; - Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act); and - State whether any particular matters have come to our attention. ## **Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report** Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. The 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 matter. 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 our examination, no matter has come to our attention: 1. Which gives us reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements - (a) To keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act; and - (b) To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act have not been met; or 2. To which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. ## _Stuart J Pollard_ ## **S J Pollard** Date: 21[st] December 2020 ## **Auditing Solutions Ltd** Clackerbrook Farm 46 The Common Bromham Wilts, SN15 2JJ Page 2 ## **Income and Expenditure Account for Year Ended 31[st] August 2020** |31stAugust 2019
