## **THE CROYDON ASSOCIATION FOR PASTORAL CARE IN MENTAL HEALTH** 

## **TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT** _**(continued)**_ 

## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

The Association continued to work hard to re-establish a new sustainable pattern of work post the COVID epidemic. Some members’ reluctance to meet socially and the retirement of a number of longstanding volunteers continued to limit the scope of what we have been able to do. Nonetheless the successful Wandering into Wellness walks continued as did the weekly spirituality group. During the year the Women’s Group and a weekly drop-in were re-opened and plans are in place to start a weekly art group and to establish a Friday lunch club at St Mildred’s Centre. Recruitment of volunteers remains a challenge. 

Despite the financial uncertainties for the voluntary sector in Croydon the Association’s financial position improved somewhat during the year through successful grant applications and donations from individuals and various churches. Whilst the future is undoubtedly uncertain the Trustees have been encouraged by the progress made during the year. The Trustees remain committed to working in partnership with other organisations to rebuild a new future for voluntary mental health organisations in Croydon. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

Constitution - The charity was formed for charitable purposes and has the registered charity number 1097979. The charity's governing document is its constitution. The charity receives income mainly from grants which it utilizes in the performance of its objectives.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE CROYDON ASSOCIATION FOR PASTORAL CARE IN MENTAL HEALTH** 

## **YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31 March 2024 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

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”). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

## **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: 

- 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.
