Th¢ &ctiviti¢s of the Centre in Romanian continue with our tearn preparing hot meals as take-aways.
enabling people to come and collect at a time suitable lo them and we continue (o provide monthly
food bags, gas bottle refills. and help towards costs of mcdicine etc. As in past years we were ablc to
provide Christmas gifts for children and the elderly and our usual larger food bags in December. We
are very proud of our Team ofthree still continuing to do this.
Th¢ g¢n¢ral situation in Dorohoi do¢sn't improve for those we help because of th¢ ¢ontinually rising
cost of food and fuel. which makes life more difficult csp¢ci&lly in these difficult timcs and rising
prices
as ¢15ewhcrc in the world - h&$ added considerabl¢ extra cost to the Centre for providtn8
meals and food bags. Some new fwnili¢s hAve ¢ome to the Centre asking for hot meals and food bag5
and through the G¢neral Fund we hav¢ been able to take them into our pro8rammc. We continue to
help in areas of obvious need and distress. The numbcr of famili¢5 being supported regularly through

Rcgulations) and that an indcpendent ¢X8minalion is nceded. The Charity is required by company law
to preparc accrued accounts and I am qualified to undertAke the examination by bcing a qualificd
member of The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for
independent examination, il is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act and scciion 44(1)(¢) of the Charities

Independertt examiner's statement
In connection with my ¢x8mination, no matter has come to my attention..
