## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2021**
## **Structure, Governance and Management**
The charity is controlled by its governing document, and it has five trustees who are re-appointed annually at the Annual General Meeting. New trustees are appointed by existing trustees using the provisions of the governing document.
## **Objectives and Activities**
The objectives of the charity are as follows:
- Promotion of health and relief of sick, ill and disabled people;
- Education of public on all health matters; and
- Conservation of environment where pollution has an effect on health of population.
The activity of the charity is as follows:
- Operation of free advisory clinics.
The trustees have reviewed their objectives, policies and activities to ensure they continue to reflect the charity’s aims. In carrying out this review they have considered the Charity’s Commission’s revised general guidance on public benefit.
## **Achievements and performance**
The charity has achieved a great deal over the years by:
- Caring for those afflicted and affected by Lyme Disease in all stages;

During the year, the charity had net receipts of £1,060 in the year (2020: net payments £1,865). Total receipts increased by £14,561 to £39,778, which included two loans to the charity amounting to £6,238 and a Covid-19 grant from Cornwall Council of £10,000. The total cash funds held at the year end were £1,196 (2020: £136).

## **REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS TO THE MEMBERS OF THE GLOBAL NATURAL HEALTH CARE TRUST FOR THE YEAR ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2021**
I report to the trustees on my examination on the accounts of The Global Natural Health Care Trust (‘the charity) for the year ended 28 February 2021, which are set out on pages 4 – 6.
This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with section 154 of the Charities Act 2011. My independent examiner’s work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body for my independent examiner’s work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s 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 statement**
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 reasonable 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.
