THE TRUSTEES
The trustees who served the charitable trust during the year are shown on page 2.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES
The Charities Act 2011 requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity at the end of the year and of the net incoming or outgoing resources for the year then ended.
In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to select suitable accounting policies, as described on page 8, and then apply them on a consistent basis, making judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent. The trustees must also prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will be able to continue.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. The trustees are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the detection of fraud and other irregularities.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF BELZ COMMUNITIES
T report on the Accounts of the Trust for the year ended 5 April 2025, which are set out on pages 6 to 8.
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 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. The Charity is preparing accrued accounts and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of The Institute of Chartered Accountants (England and Wales).
It is my responsibility to:
-
e Examine the Accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
e To follow procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) of the 2011 Act; and
-
e To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS’ 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 EXAMINERS’ STATEMENT
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
qd) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: e to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the Charities Act 2011; and
-
e to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, and to 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.
