## **Aveton Gifford Pre-School**
## **Trustees report**
The trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 August 2024.
## **Structure, governance and management**
The Aveton Gifford pre-school, out of school club + toddler group (The pre-school) is a body in membership of the Early Years Alliance (membership number 12190) and was constituted on 19 October 2009.
The overall management and control of the pre-school rests with the individual members of the pre-school's management committee. As well as being responsible for the management of the pre-school the committee members are also the charity trustees of the pre-school. **Aims**
The aims of the pre-school are to enhance the development and education of children primarily under statutory school age by encouraging parents to understand and provide for the needs of their children through community groups and by:
- offering appropriate play, education and care facilities, family learning and extended hours groups, together with the right of parents to take responsibility for and to become involved in the activities of such groups, ensuring that such groups offer opportunities for all children whatever their race, culture, religion, means or ability;
- encouraging the study of the needs of such children and their families and promoting public interest in and recognition of such needs in the local areas;
- instigating and adhering to and furthering the aims and objects of the pre-school learning alliance.

## **Independent examiner's report to the Trustees of Aveton Gifford Pre-School**
I report on the accounts of the pre-school for the year ended 31 August 2024, which are set out on pages 3 to 6.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for the year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 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 Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner's report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 the seeking of explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required for 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 my examination, no matter has come to my attention:**
- a) 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; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or
- b) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
