It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six months running costs. The trustees consider that the reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in funding, they will be able to continue the charity's current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised. The trustees are aware of the current level of reserves held and are actively seeking additional sources of funding for the next financial year.

The income generated by the donations is used to cover the cost of medical treatment for the less privileged members of the community. 

The recruitment and appointment of a trustee is governed by clause D of the charity's trust deed. If for any reason a trustee cannot be appointed in accordance with clause D then the Charity Commission is entitled to appoint a trustee.

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').

I have completed my examination. I can 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:

- the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

- the financial statements do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of financial statements set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the financial statements 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 financial statements to be reached.
