THE CHAILEY CHARITABLE SETTLEMENT
TRUSTEES REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5TH APRIL 2025
The Chailey Charitable Settlement is registered with the Charity Commissioners No. 1047289 and constituted by the Deed of Trust.
The charity was created under a settlement made by Mrs. P A La Touche under a deed dated 14th March 1995 and on 22nd April 1995 the trust received the whole of the assets of The Peckitt Charitable Trust. T D La Touche Esq. was the sole surviving trustee of The Peckitt Charitable Trust.
The objective of the charity is to provide funds to other charities so that they can carry out their charitable objectives. During the year the trustees have made donations totalling £1,200 in the furtherance of this objective.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE CHAILEY CHARITABLE SETTLEMENT
I report on the financial statements of the Trust for the year ended 5th April 2025, which are set out on pages 4 to 5.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the financial statements under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners 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 Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and the seeking of 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 financial statements present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
-
the financial statements did not accord with the accounting records; or
-
the financial statements did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts ad Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I 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 financial statements to be reached.
