The Trust accounts show a total distribution of money throughout the year of £ 68460, with £ 62751 (92%) going to local charitable & other good causes and £5709 (8%) to international causes.

REPORT OF THE REVIEW OF THE ACCOUNTS
The Treasurer is responsible for the preparation of the annual financial statements, as set out on the attached pages. It is our responsibility to form an independent opinion, based on our review, on those statements and to report our opinion to you. Our review includes examination, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. It also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgements made by the Treasurer in the preparation of the financial statements and of whether the decisions of the Trust, as shown in the approved Minutes, have been consistently and correctly transacted. In our opinion the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Trust as at 30th June 2025 and of the surplus for the year ended on that date.
