TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021
The trustees have pleasure in presenting their report together with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021.
CONSTITUTION AND OBJECTIVES
The charitable trust is constituted by the trust deed dated in 1994.
The Society’s principal activity continues to be that of renovating and running steam locomotives.
REVIEW OF DEVELOPMENTS, ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS
The trustees have issued a separate, detailed report of the development, activities and achievements of the charity.
RESULTS
The results for the year and the charity’s financial position at the end of the year are shown in the attached financial statements.
RISK REVIEW
The trustees have conducted a review of the major risks to which the charity is exposed and the systems which have been established to mitigate those risks. These procedures are periodically reviewed to ensure that they still meet the needs of the charity.
TRUSTEES
Appointment of trustees is governed by the Trust Deed of the Charity and the Board of Trustees is authorised to appoint new trustees to fill vacancies arising through resignation or death of an existing trustee.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES
The charity's trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
· Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
· Observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
· Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
· State whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
· Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER
Mr A West has been re-appointed as independent examiner for the ensuing year.
Signed by order of the trustees:

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF 5305 LOCOMOTIVE ASSOCIATION
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2021 which are set out on pages 5 to 7.
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 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 Commission 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 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 you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in 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:
(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; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 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.
