Trustees are aware that any conflitt of interest is declared and minuted. The board holds meetings at least twlce a year.

All systems and procedures are reviewed regularly to ensure they meet charity law and the charity's own aims and objectives. Objective5 and Activities The object of the charity Is for the relief of children with autism and their families and carers in North Lincolnshire by the provision of recreational activities in particular but not exclusively by the provision of holidays. Neither aim is viable without the paid and salaried part time staff who manage the building and events daily and the support of local people willing to commit time and energy to support them. Main ob'ectives for the followin ear: In shaping our objectives for the following year and planning our activlties, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit. Achievements and Performance Review of Activities 2024 We celebrate our anniversary at Magic's centre at Market Hill. We went to Cleethorpes for Autism Awareness week, and members did their walk for Autism there. Our members went on the Cleethorpes Light Railway and then spent the day together having fun. We provided drumming sessions in the centre for members and the community, along with free coffee mornings. During the year we have been to Scarborough, Skegness and to the local zoos.
Magic Moments for Autistic Kids Charity Number: 1093679 Report of the Board of Trustees For the year ended 31 December 2024 Achievements and Performance Review of Artivities 202 We have opened a sensory room after its repair. We have organised a very special Halloween paty with pumpkins for parents & kids, the carving of the pumpkins was at a superb quality. We had a trip out to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park, which the local bikers brought Christmas gifts for the young children at our centre. We then started a new project called the 3T's which stands for Toys, Toiletries and Toothpaste/Toothbrushes, which has helped over 450 children in North Lincolnshire. We would like to thank, North Lincolnshire Council, our Great North Runners for their sponsorship funds, The bikers for their Christmas gifts, Aldi, Tesco, Lidl & Asda for their contribution, plus Screwfix foundation for our new boiler. Financial Review Reserves Polic It is the aim of the Trustees to retsin three months core running costs in the unrestricted general fund to ensure a suffficient buffer to enable effective financial decision-making, rather than short term decisions, and the charity will work towards achieving this. Plans for Future periods Please see main objectives for the following year. In 2025 we intend to go to Cleethorpes to do a walk for Autism and provide our usual usual activities for the year but also add Halloween activities.

An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts psented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or di5cIosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. Independent examiner's 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.. 2, the accounting records were not kept in accordance with settion 130 of the Charities 3. the accounts did not accord with the accounting records. or 4. 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.

Magic Moments for Autistic Kids Charity Number: 1093679 Independent Examiner's Report to the Members of Magic Moments for Autistic Kids No actual cash count was completed at the year end, the cash figure in the accounts is an estimate based on workings from Magic Moments. The issue was caused by the bank issuing cheque book with the wrong information so could not be used, the bank closing in the city centre and not having a bank card so not able to bank any cash or cheques at the post office.
