Development, activities and achievements
The trustees consider that the performance of the charity this year has been satisfactory and boosted by by the continued support of members during the year.
Financial review
Funds available are sufficient to permit the Trust to continue in operation in the medium term, given the continued support of the members. If this support is not continued in the longer term, further financial support would need to be sought to ensure the trust can continue to vary out its activities
Risk Management
The trustees actively review the major risk which the charity faces on a regular basis and believe that maintaining reserves at current levels, combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems, will ensure the charity has sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The trustees have also examined other operational and business risks faced by the charity and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.

Statement of trustees' responsibilities
Law applicable to charities in England Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
a) Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
b) make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
c) state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
d) prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
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 prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
