REGISTERED CHARITY NO. 1075942
ACCOUNTS AND REPORTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
Independent Examiners’ report to the Trustees of Alpha India Foundation
I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 30 June 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 accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (The Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to;
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Act;,
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under s145 (5) (b) of the Act; and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiners’ report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, 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 accounts present a ‘true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with s130 of the Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act.
-
have not been met; or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

We also continued to support a local village building relationships with them, bringing food and helping them as we are able.
Financial Review
Funds continue to be received towards the Charity’s work and amounts are transferred to India not only to support the children now in the care of adopted ‘parents’ but also for any capital projects. The trustees are grateful to all those who have contributed, making the work of the charity possible.
With AIF sending grants in advance to IGM deficit has arisen this year, particularly due to our additional costs of college fees to which we contributed. We continue to look at every opportunity to raise funds from a variety of sources. As a policy the trustees aim to maintain 3 months running costs of the home in the account and this has been achieved this year.
Plans for future periods
We consistently need to maintain and encourage sponsors to give regularly in order to meet the rising regular running costs. This is an increasing challenge and there are increasing needs for maintenance on or buildings and equipment adding to this challenge
We look to maintaining our support for individuals and the village as mentioned above. We will also continue to support our older children as far as we can in order to give them a good start in the adult world according to their needs for training.
