End of year 2024 TAR Trustee Annual Return All trustees where mindful of a lot of sickness hospital appointment that had domineered their lives. Which cannot be helped. Those strong enough through good health will continue to do their very best and prioritise the charities needs. They look forward to the new trustee joining next year Lauren Newland Nell as she is studying her trauma degree for us to enable to support many people in our support network. Accounts still bit of moneys coming in and we are so grateful for each donation. Merchandise sells slowly but surely and Catherine Debell volunteer monitors the stock levels for us. We hope to have a successful charity ball of 2025 as Dee is stepping down from arranging this after 25 years ## **Charity No. 1088094** ## **THE LEE SPARK NF FOUNDATION** ## **RECEIPTS AND PAYMENTS ACCOUNT** **FOR THE YEAR ENDED** **31 DECEMBER 2024** ## **THE LEE SPARK NF FOUNDATION** |**Chairperson**|Doreen Cartledge| |---|---| |**Treasurer**|Doreen Cartledge| |**Trustees**|Robin Grant| ||Patricia Corcoran| ||Robert Wilkie| ||Diane Fraser| ||Elaine McCulloch| |**Address**|12 Gretdale Avenue| ||St Anne’s on Sea| ||Lancashire| ||FY8 2EF| |**Reporting Accountants**|Jennions Macken| ||Suite 1, Foundry House| ||Waterside Lane| ||Widnes| ||Cheshire| ||WA8 8GT| ## **THE LEE SPARK NF FOUNDATION** ## **RECEIPTS AND PAYMENTS ACCOUNT YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024** |**INCOME**

**88,285**| ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE LEE SPARK NF FOUNDATION** I report to the Trustees on the accounts of the above charity for the year ended 31 December 2024 set out on page 1. ## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** As the charity’s trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”) 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 all the applicable procedures laid down in the General Direction given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act), and - To state whether particular matters have come to our attention. ## **Basis of Independent Examiners Report** My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 seeking explanations from the 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 Examiners Statement** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that, in any material respect: - The accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or - The accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or - The accounts did 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.
