Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
The start of this year went really well, with a healthy intake of students and retention of existing ones. We have grown lots as a club due to our ethos and wonderful teaching team.
We had a very successful fundraiser at the Macmillian Xmas fayre where we sold some homemade reindeer hot chocolate and some dance related ornaments. We also took part in the Santa run to help raise some funds that was shared between us and other local worthy causes.
We were also lucky enough to receive some grants to cover our bursary costs from local businesses and we secured a substantial grant from the National Lottery, for our inclusive classes so are able to continue to offer these.
We have continued with our paid admin staff to help run the club.
We had an amazing show this year including musical theatre elements to bring our story to life.
To help our club to continue to grow, we are training our assistant teachers.

Cirencester Dance Club Independent Examiners Report
Respective responsibilities of The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The 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 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.
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention
-
Independent examiner's statement 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 Charities Act; and
-
● to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
-
have not been met; or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. Note: While no matter regarding the current year’s accounts has come to my attention, I did become aware that some past year’s accounts are overdue for submission to the Charity Commission. I was informed that the trustees are in communication with the Charity Commission to resolve this issue.
