## **Report of the Trustees**
A successful year driven by our primary fundraiser Ashton Keynes Fireworks & Funfair. Our 2021 event success was built on previous events and also due to other local fireworks events being cancelled. This meant we saw higher than average footfall than in previous years. In addition an end to Covid restrictions gave the public confidence in mixing in crowds again. With lockdowns throughout 2021 we saw great demand for Valentines Hampers and our pop-up pub ‘The Royal FoAKS’ both generating admirable funds in very unusual fundraising conditions.
For 2022 we’ll be focusing on our ever popular Fireworks event and implementing learnings from 2021s event, notably restricting ticket sales and therefore overall earnings to ensure the smooth running and event longevity. Other events will be introduced such as an AK Christmas Fun Run supporting annual financial earnings.
Ashton Keynes School has various fundraising priorities and we were able to realise some of these including:

## **Independent Examiners report**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Friends of Ashton Keynes School for the year ended 31[st] January 2022 which are set out on pages 5 to 7.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Trust 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 Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 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 statement**
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 Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records.
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.
