9, Going Concern
The charity is in 8 positive financial position. We have secured sufficient funding to meet its current
commitsnents for thi5 financial year and meet its reserves policy plus windirrfj up Gosts. However, we are
Mindful that we need to continue to secure funding to deliver services from 2025-2026. Although funding is
secured toward5 some ol thi5. Wlthout further 5uccessftJl funding bids we would deplete our reserves below
the reserves policy.
Therefore, these accounts are prepared on the going COn￿M basis.

Independent Examinerf5 Report to the Trustees of
Cumbria Famity Support Ltd
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2025, which are set out on pages 9 to 23.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and exarniner
The trustee5 (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of c>)mpany18w) are responsible for the
p￿paratiOn of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audrt is not required for this year under section 144121
of the Charrttes Act 2011 as amended by the Charities Act 2022 (the Act) and that an independent examination k8
needed.
The charity's gross income exceeded £250,C￿0 and l am qualified to undertake the examination by being a
qualified member of the Institute of Chartered Accountsnts in England and Wales.
Having satisfied myself that the charty is not subject b awlit under Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and FS
eligible for indepandent examination. it is my responsibility to..
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Act.,
follow the procedures laid down in the Genèral Directions given by the Charity Commission under section
145 {51 (b> of the Art and
ststs whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basls of independent examineffs report
My examination was carried out in accordance with th8 General Directions given by Ihe Charity Commission. An
examination includes a review of thè accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts
presented with those records. 11 also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts,
and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such mattèrs. The procedures undertaken do not
prov(dè all the evidèncÉ that would be required in an autht and consequently no opinion is given as to whether
the accounts present a 'true and fair and the report is limited to those matt&rs set out in the staloment
below.
Independent examinerfs statement
In connectton with my examination, no matter has come to my attention..
111 which gives me reasonabte cause to believè that in any material respect th8 requirements:
to keep aw?unting records in accordan￿ with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
to Prepa￿ accounts wh￿h accord wrth the accounting records, comply wth the accounting
requirements of section 396 of the Companies Ad 2006 and wrth tme methods and principles of
the Ststemenl of Recommended Practs'ce.. Accounting and Reporting by Charities
have not been met: or
12} to which, in my opinion. attention shoukl be drawn in order to enable a proper understsnding of the
accounts to be reached.

Incomè and endowments
Donations are recognised when the Charity has been nottfied in writing of both the amount and settlement
date. In the event that a donation is subject to conditi'ons that require a level of perf0rnan￿ by the Charity
before the Charty is entitled to the funds, the income is deferred and not recognised until either those
conditions are fvI￿ met. or the fvlfilment of thos• conditions is wholly within the control of the Charity and it
is probable that these conditions will be fuffillèd in the reporting period.
Legacy gifts are recognised on a case by case basis following the grant of probate when the
administorlexecutor for the estste has Lxjmmunicaled in writing both the amount and settlement date. In the
event that the gift is in the form of an asset other than cash or a finanaal asset traded on a recognised stock
exchange. recognition is subject to the value of the gift being reliably me8sured with a degree of reasonable
accuracy and the title to the asset having been transferred to the Charity.
Income from Govemment and other grants, whether 'capital' grants or 'revenue' grants, is recognised when
the charity has enltttemenl lo the funds, any perfomiance conditions attached to the grants have been m8t,

Income from charttable activities includes income recognised as eamed las the related goods or s8rvlces
are provided) under contract.
Expendilure
Liabilities are recognised as 500n as there is a legal or constructtve obligallon ￿mmItting the charify to the
expenditure. All expenditure is accounted for on an accrua15 basis and has been dassified under headings
that aggregate all costs related to the category.
Costs of generating funds a￿ the costs of trading for fvndrai5ing pury)oses.
Charttsble expenditure comprises those costs incurred by the charty in th8 delivery of its activities and
services for its beneficiaries. It indudes both costs that can be allocated dir8Ctly to suth activities and those
costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.
Support costs
Support costs indude central functions have been allocated to activity ¢QSt categories on a basis
consistent wlth the use of reSoUr￿s, for example, allocating property costs by floor areas, or per caprta,
staff costs by the time spent and other costs by their usage.

therefore it meets the definition of a charitsble company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the
Charty is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains recelved within categories
covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable
