## **Reserve Policy** 

Funds not required for immediate use are deposited with the Chapel Aid and Lloyds Bank. This produces a level of return while maintaining a minimal risk and a high level of liquidity. The funds are easily accessible for grants and expenditures. 

Trust has agreed on a reserve policy to keep at least six months of expenditure as reserves in light of unforeseen circumstances. As of 31 August 2025, the unrestricted fund amount to £196,457 more than a year’s expenditure. 

## **Risk management** 

The Trustees have examined the significant risks to which the trust is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place or are being introduced to monitor and control these risks and to mitigate any impact they may have on the charity. The key risk to the organisation is advisory services to members covering operational procedures and guidelines. The procedure in place ensures the clarity of documentation and advice provided. 

## **Trustees** 

Trustees are appointed from the churches within the circuit or recommended by the Circuit Council. To serve on the board, members should have pre-requisite skills and experience to help further the organisation's objectives. Trustees are the governing and decisionmaking body of the Trust.

## **Heathfield Trust Trustees Report For the year ended 31[st] August 2025** 

## **Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities** 

The trustees (who are also directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. The law applicable to Charities in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the Trustees must prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). 

Under company law the Trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- a) select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently. 

- b) observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP. 

- c) make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. 

- d) state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements, 

- e) prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business 

The Trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

The Trustees confirm that they have properly discharged their responsibilities in accordance with the above.

## **Heathfield Trust Independent Examiner’s Report For the year ended 31[st] August 2025** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31[st] August 2025, on pages 8 and 9. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of the report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). 

I report regarding my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination, I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination, which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act or 

- the accounts do not accord with the accounting records 

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
