## **Trustee’s Report Year Ended 31[st] March 2025** 

**ST BARNABAS PRE-SCHOOL PLAYGROUP (Registered Charity Number 1035975)** 

The Trustees are pleased to report that net income of £52,416 was generated in the year continuing the positive trend established last year. 

The turnaround in fortunes is almost entirely due to the measures taken previously to curb expenditure and reduce staff levels. 

Tight financial controls remain in place and it is expected that the new year will generate a further net income.

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of ST BARNABAS PRE-SCHOOL PLAYGROUP (Registered Charity Number 1035975)** 

This report on the financial statements of the Playgroup for the year ended 31 March 2025, which are set out on pages 1 and 2, is in respect of an examination carried out in accordance with the Church Accounting Regulations 2006 (‘the Regulations’) and s.43 of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act’). 

## **Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and examiner** 

As Trustees of the Playgroup you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements; you consider 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 needed. 

It is my responsibility to 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act; 

- follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and 

- state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement** 

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. 

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 the management committee concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a full audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts. 

## **Independent Examiner’s statement** 

In connection with my examination, no matters have come to my attention 

1. which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements 

- to keep accounting records in accordance with s.130 of the 2011 Act; or 

- to prepare accounts which accord with these accounting records 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.
