## **The Cranleigh and District U3A Trustees’ Report for the Year ended 31[st] August 2024** This was another good year for our u3a. Our membership reduced slightly, and we ran fewer outings than usual, but otherwise our interest groups and events were well attended, with some having to operate waiting lists. Our Open Day in the Cranleigh Village Sports & Social Club was again very busy. We continue to offer more than sixty interest groups and organise regular outings for our members. We are very grateful for the energy and enthusiasm of our many Group Leaders, Outings Organisers, and other helpers, without whom we could not exist; and we are always looking for additional volunteers to lead our interest groups and to start new groups. We continue to publish a quarterly newsletter, and we have upgraded the simple website that we use to help keep our members informed and to attract new members. As we ran fewer outings this year, our income reduced to £48,782, and our expenditure reduced to £47,118, giving us a surplus of £1,664 for the year. Our reserves increased to £19,592.

Charity No. 1071260)** I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Cranleigh and District U3A (‘the Trust’) for the year ended 31[st] August 2024. ## **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 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; 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.
