Respective responsibilities As the charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The of trustees and examiner charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Charities Act”) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the examiner’s statement 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 the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no option 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 statements below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act or
-
the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The Trustees present their report and accounts for the period 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025.
Constitution Objects
The Ethnic Minority Training and Education Project’s (EMTEP) primary aim is to establish training and education projects set in a non-academic environment to provide avenues for the promotion of aspirations and potential amongst individuals from socially excluded, disadvantaged and minority communities. The project has also successfully continued the rehabilitation project for young people and community members. The support to lady community members seeking to involve them in sports and other activities is also a prime objective of EMTEP.
Development, Activities and Achievements
The Trustees and Coordinators feel that the tough funding scarcity in the recent few years have made things tough for the charity but thank the volunteers for keeping its work going. The post flood damage a couple years ago, the refurbishment and upgrade of the premises continued in this period to enable the sporting keep fit group interactions and mentoring activities ongoing. The Catering Trailer Van, continued to provide vital funds necessary for the continuation of the Charity and operates from the walkway just outside the premises. This self-generating source of income has kept the Charity alive and enabled to continue to provide services and support to the local community. Mr. Saqib Arshad continued his role as Chief Coordinator, responsible for maintaining accounting records/overseeing the Catering Van and general functioning of Emtep and the Trustees thank for his ongoing commitment over the years.

responsibility of the Trustees. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:
