EDENBRIDGE HOLIDAY ACTIVITIES SCHEME (REGISTERED NUMBER: 05399962)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2024

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st December 2024. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Objectives and aims

On 1 July 2005 the company took over the assets and activities of the Edenbridge Holiday Activities Scheme, a charity which was formed in December 1992.

The objectives of the charity are to support children aged between five and eighteen years from deprived and underprivileged homes in the interest of social welfare through the provision of activities or making grants of money for providing or paying for activities out of school hours.

Significant activities

During 2024 EHAS sponsored a full and varied programme of activities for families including carers. We also supported Edenbridge Primary School's Holiday and After School Clubs by sponsoring disadvantaged children to attend these clubs. In these difficult economic times the number children and families in need of our support has increased.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Principal funding sources

The trust is funded by grants, donations,and fundraising activities. Some annual awards are received.

Investment policy and objectives

Any surplus funds are held on bank deposit.

Reserves policy

The trustees have examined the charity's requirements for reserves in the light of the main risks to the organisation. It has established a policy whereby the unrestricted funds not committed or invested in tangible fixed assets held by the charity should approximately equate to 12 months expenditure.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

The organisation is a charitable company, limited by guarantee and incorporated on 21st March 2005. The company was established under a Memorandum of Association which established the objects and powers of the charitable company and is governed under its Articles of Association. In the event of the company being wound up members are required to contribute an amount not exceeding £10.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

The directors of the company are also trustees for the purposes of charity law. Under the requirements of the Memorandum and Articles of Association, one third of the directors are required to retire by rotation at each Annual General Meeting. Accordingly Mrs Serena Barker, Mrs Deborah Seth and Fiona Mckenzie retire by rotation and offer themselves for re-election.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF EDENBRIDGE HOLIDAY ACTIVITIES SCHEME (REGISTERED NUMBER: 05399962)

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Edenbridge Holiday Activities Scheme ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31st December 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner's statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

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.
