## **REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER TO THE TRUSTEES OF** 

## **THE LUTON SOMERIES ROTARY CHARITY FUND (1033112)** 

I have examined, without carrying out an audit, the Accounts for the year ending 30th June 2024, set out o pages 4 to 7. 

## **Respective Resonsibilities of Trustees and Independent Examiner** 

The Trustees, as named on page 1 are responsible for the preparation of the Accounts. The Charity's Trust that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011  Act) and that an independent examination is required. 

It is my responsibility to : 

- examine the accounts (under Section 145) of the 2011 Act 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity C under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act, and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to to my attention. 

## **Basis of independent examiner's statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissi 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 you as Trustees concerning any such matters. The proced undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinio is given as to whether the Accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matter set out in the statement below. 

## **Independent Examiner's Qualified Statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

- (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 2011 Act; 

   - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 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.

## **Basis of Examination** 

An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Club 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 you concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequen I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the Accounts. 

## **Results of Examination** 

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: 

(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: 

to keep accounting records; and to prepare Accounts which accord with the accounting records, and 

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the Accounts to be reached

## **ROTARY CLUB OF LUTON SOMERIES LEND WITH CARE** 

The 100 Club is a fundraising “sweepstake” run by the club mostly but not entirely subscribed by club members Each position is subscribed, usually by annual standing order, at the rate of £1 per month and a random draw occurs each month with three winners, £25 first prize, £10 second prize and £5 third prize. The profits from the draws are typically about £400 p.a. and these are currently injected into the club’s account with the microfinance charity Lend With Care 

We have been making very small business development loans in third world countries through Lend With Care which presents prospective borrowers to which members such as ourselves can join together through individual loans typically of a few tens of pounds. 

The borrowers make regular repayments, enabling us to reinvest the funds again and again. Since commencing in 2018 we have loaned in excess of £13,500 which is more than three times our total investment into the scheme.  There is no residual liability and since the funds injected annually exceed any administration costs and occasional small defaults, our fund in the scheme grows each year 

There is no formal link between our 100 Club and Lend With Care and the club is not obliged to inject the 100 Club profits if it chooses otherwise.
