## **Report of the Officers for the year ended 31 March 2025**
The officers present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.
## **Activities**
Kenilworth Round Table is a charity and exists to promote fellowship and service to the local community.
## **Public Benefit**
The trustees have had due regard to guidance published by the Charity Commission on public benefit and consider that the charity complies with the requirements.
## **Achievements**
Kenilworth Round Table has enjoyed a successful year with fundraising from Kenilworth’s annual bonfire once again, the Christmas carol float and with other events raised just over £95,000. This has enabled the charity to support many local causes.
## **Reserves policy**
The charity has established a policy of retaining unrestricted reserves of between £500 and £3,000 to hedge against unexpected expenditure and retaining restricted reserves of around £21,000 as a provision against the possibility of losses on future fundraising events.
## **Investment policy**
As the object of fundraising activities is to provide the means to make donations to worthy local causes it is not anticipated that funds will be retained longer than the short term. Therefore, surplus funds are invested in a high interest deposit account.
## **Grant-making policy**
The charity receives many requests for support from all aspects of Society. All requests are considered by the members at general meetings, but the emphasis is very much on supporting the local community which means Kenilworth and its outlying villages and services which support the county of Warwickshire.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS’ REPORT TO THE OFFICERS OF KENILWORTH ROUND TABLE – NUMBER 820**
I report on the accounts of the Kenilworth Round Table – Number 820 for the year ended 31 March 2025, which are set out on pages 4 to 10.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner’s report**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Notes forming part of the financial statements for the Year Ended 31 March 2025**
## **1. Accounting policies**
- (a) The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the charity’s governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and “Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102). The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS102.
- The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The financial statements are prepared in sterling which is the functional currency of the charity and monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
- (b) At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
- (c) Income is recognised when the charity is legally entitled to it after any performance conditions have been met, the amounts can be measured reliably and it is probable the income will be received. Income from charitable activities is recognised based on the date the charitable activity occurred. Income from investments is included when receivable.
- (d) Resources expended are recognised in the period in which they are incurred. Resources expended include attributable VAT which cannot be recovered.
- (e) Unrestricted funds are donations and other incoming resources receivable or generated for the objects of the charity without further specified purpose and are available as general funds.
- (f) Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor or by the charity’s objects. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund.
- (g) Designated funds are unrestricted funds which have been set aside by the Trustees for a specific purpose, and only specific expenditure is charged against these funds.
- (h) Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and deposits held at bank.
