Each year our trustees review our objectives and activities to ensure they continue to reflect our aims. In carrying out this review the trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit, and particularly its supplementary public guidance on the advancement of religion for the public benefit. ## **Use of Volunteers** Volunteers are vital in supporting the work of the charity.

All volunteers give their time freely. ## **Activities and achievements** ## **How our activities deliver public benefit** The charity carries out a range of activities in pursuance of its charitable aims. The trustees consider that these activities, summarised below, provide benefit to the general public.

The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the charity trustees to prepare financial statements for each year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are required to: - select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently. - observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP. - make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. - state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures - disclosed and explained in the financial statements. - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
