Educational Sponsorship Scheme.

Although we are no longer taking on any new sponsorships, we still have fifty students who are benefitting from the scheme. Many of them are in further education studying at university, colleges or other training schemes including apprenticeships.

Day Care Centre for differently abled children.

This continues with in excess of thirty-one children in regular attendance. These children are undertaking physiotherapy, recreational therapy and occupational therapy.

Although we continue to financially support this pre-school, we no longer seek sponsors for those leaving to go on to formal education.

Outreach Programme.

We continue to offer support by way of monthly food rations to thirty families who because of medical or physical reasons are unable to work and therefore provide for themselves.

Staff / Volunteers.

We do not employ staff in the U.K and the local (Indian) staff that are employed are paid appropriate salaries.

We no longer make use of volunteers, nor do we undertake fundraising activities.

Accounts / Finance.

We still receive regular donations from sponsors involved in the Educational Sponsorship Scheme as well as Ad Hoc donations from members of the public.

The Future.

As reported in last year’s return, we are in the process of running down the charities activities and will continue to do so until our finances are exhausted.

NOVI SURVAT CHARITABLE ORGANISATION (GOA) ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF NOVI SURVAT CHARITABLE ORGANISATION (GOA)

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 September 2024, which are set out on pages 1 and 2 below.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act), and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
state whether particular matters have come to my attention,

Basis of independent examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. 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 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 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.

Independent examiner's statement

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

(1) which gives me cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements

to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act

have not been met; or

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
