Development, Activities and Achievements

The purpose of the charity is to benefit young people 11-25 years in the Wigton district without distinction of race, sex, political, religious or other opinions in effort to advance education by providing facilities for recreation, advice, information, training and participation so that they may grow to full maturity as responsible individuals physically, mentally and spiritually.

Independent examiners report on the accounts to the trustees of Wigton Youth Station

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2021 set out on pages 5 to 9.

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 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 section 145(5)(b) of the Act, and

• to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

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.

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention

1. which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in, any material respect, the requirements:

2. to keep proper accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; and

4

WIGTON YOUTH STATION

• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities 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.
