DONCASTERSCHOOLS WORKER TRUST

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[ST] MARCH 2025

Structure, Governance and Management

Constitution

Doncaster Schools Worker Trust was formed as a charitable unincorporated association and is constituted under a Trust Deed dated February 2[nd] , 1995.

Recruitment and appointment of trustees

Trustees are appointed by the existing trustees or can be required to vacate office by the passing of a resolution at a meeting of the trustees.

Objectives and Activities

The objectives of the trust are to advance the Christian faith amongst children and young people in educational establishments and the charity continues to support part-time schools’ workers who are actively promoting the Christian faith in schools in the Doncaster area. This work has continued to be done during the past year. Whilst considering appropriate activities for the charity the trustees confirm that they have complied with the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefits, and all safeguarding procedures are in place and have been reviewed.

Public benefit

All this has ensured that as a registered charity the requirements of charity law relating to public benefit have been complied with.

Achievements and Performance

The relationships with schools, built up over many years have all been maintained, and new schools have welcomed input. New teaching programmes for Christmas and Easter have been developed, and greater use of videos has enabled more schools to have direct access to our teaching aids.

Financial Review

The results for the year are set out on the receipts and payments account. In addition, there were gift aid refunds due of approx £6000.

The policy on reserves is to hold 3 months expenditure which is approximately £20,000, and this is considered sufficient. This has been complied with over the past year.

In this period a legacy has been received which has enabled our work to expand, this has been achieved by the recruitment of 2 additional part time employees. The trustees are aware that expenditure is greater than income but this is a situation that is being closely monitored

Trustees’ responsibilities in relation to the financial statements

The Trustees are responsible for preparing financial statements which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the surplus or deficit for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Trustees are required to:

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER TO THE TRUSTEES OF DONCASTER SCHOOLS WORKER TRUST

I report on the accounts of Doncaster Evangelical Church for the year ended 31[st] March 2025, which are set out on pages 6 to 11.

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 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charity’s Act)) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report

My examination was carried out in accordance with 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:
