Section B Disclosure

Only complete if the examiner needs to highlight matters of concern (see CC32, Independent examination of charity accounts: directions and guidance for examiners).

Give here brief details of any items that the examiner wishes to disclose .

During our review, we identified that an amount of £1,064.44 relating to insurance had been included within miscellaneous expenses. Management confirmed this related to insurance expenditure, and this has been reclassified to insurance expenditure in the final accounts.

Following the year end, the charity lost its premises and has decided to cease operations, with closure planned for July 2026, and staff redundancies issued. Charity will not continue in operational existence and is in the process of an orderly wind-down.
