TRUSTEES' REPORT
The charity has supported 13 separate charities during the year as detailed in the notes to the accounts.
REVIEW OF FINANCIAL ACTIVITIES AND AFFAIRS
During the year the Trust received donations for its General Fund of £57,353 inclusive of tax recoverable on personal and corporate Gift Aid donations.
Charitable grants totalling £76,754 were made in the period, as detailed in the Statement of Financial Activities on page 8 and the detailed Outgoing Resources note on page 13, including payments to support the work of churches, schools and overseas missions and aid projects.
The Trustees aim to retain sufficient reserves of unrestricted funds to cover the fixed assets of the Trust and provide sufficient cash fund to enable the Trust to continue to provide charitable grants as needs are perceived. They consider that the present level of reserves is appropriate in this context.
No Restricted Funds were held this year.
The attached financial statements show the state of the finances of the Trust up to 31 March 2024.
The Trustees consider the financial position to be sound; the level of future grants will depend in the extent of the Trust's future income.
The Trustees expect to maintain the Trust reserves at a level sufficient to cover the investment assets plus a reasonable operating margin. The Trustees are satisfied that the charity's assets in each fund are available and adequate to fulfil the obligations of each fund.
PUBLIC BENEFIT
The Trustees have due regard to the guidance on public benefit, published by the Charity Commission, in managing the Trust.

TRUSTEES' REPORT
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. Notwithstanding the explicit requirement in the extant statutory regulations,the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the SORP 2005, in view of the fact that the SORP 2005 has been withdrawn, the Trustees determined to interpret this responsibility as requiring them to follow current best practice and prepare the accounts according to the FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015 (as amended by the Bulletin issued in February 2016) .
In particular, charity law requires the Trustees, if they prepare accounts on an accruals basis, to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year and of the surplus or deficit of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the Trustees are required to :-
-
to prepare the accounts in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted
-
Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law).
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
The law requires that the trustees must not approve the accounts unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for the year.
The Trustees are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and which are sufficient to show and explain the charity's transactions and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with regulations made under the Charities Act 2011. They 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.
The Trustees are also responsible for the contents of the Trustees' report, and the statutory responsibility of the Independent Examiner in relation to the Trustees' report is limited to examining the report and ensuring that, on the face of the report, there are no material inconsistencies with the figures disclosed in the financial statements.
This report was approved by the board of Trustees on 29 January 2025

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Report of the Independent Examiner to the Trustees of the charity on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2024
I report on the financial statements of the Charity for the year ended 31 March 2024 on pages 8 to 14 which have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and with the Financial Reporting Standard 102, (effective 1st January 2016) adapted to meet the needs of unincorporated organisations, as modified by FRS 102 SORP (Statement of Recommended Practice for Accounting and Reporting by Charities) 2015 (as amended by the Bulletin issued in February 2016) published by the Charity Commission in England & Wales (CCEW), effective January 2015 (The SORP), under the historical cost convention and the accounting policies set out on page 10.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
As described on page 5, the charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts.
The Trustees consider that the audit requirement of Section 144(1) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) does not apply, and that there is no requirement in the Governing Document for the conducting of an audit. As a consequence, theTrustees have elected that the financial statements be subject to independent examination.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under any legal provision, or otherwise, and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:-
a) examine the accounts under Section 145 of the Act;
b) follow the procedures in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act and;
c) state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS STATEMENT AND SCOPE OF WORK UNDERTAKEN
I conducted my examination in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act, setting out the duties of an Independent Examiner in relation to the conducting of an Independent Examination. An Independent Examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and of the accounting systems employed 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 seeking explanations from you, asTrustees, concerning such matters. The purpose of the examination is to establish as far as possible that there have been no breaches of charity legislation and that the financial statements comply with the SORP, on a test basis, of evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit , and information supplied by theTrustees in the course of the examination is not subjected to audit tests or enquiries, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements, and in particular, I express no opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true and fair view of the affairs of the charity, and my report is limited to the matters set out in the statement below.
I planned and performed my examination so as to satisfy myself that the objectives of the Independent Examination are achieved and before finalising the report I obtained written assurances from the Trustees of all material matters.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS STATEMENT REPORT AND OPINION
Subject to the limitations upon the scope of my work as detailed above, in connection with my examination, I can confirm that:
This is a report in respect of an examination carried out under 145 of the Act and in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act which may be applicable;
and that no matter has come to my attention in connection with my examination which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements :-
to keep accounting records in accordance with with Section 130 of The Charities Act 2011;
when preparing accounts on an accruals basis, to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Act and the Regulations setting out the form and content of charity accounts;
have been prepared in accordance with The Charities Act 2011. and with the methods and principles set out in the FRS102 Statement of Recommended Practice - Accounting and Reporting by Charities (effective January 2016)
