ROTARY CLUB OF WINSLOW TRUST FUND CHARITY NUMBER 1121197 TRUSTEES’ REPORT FINANCIAL YEAR 1ST JULY 2023 TO 30TH JUNE 2024
OVERVIEW
The Rotary Club of Winslow is part of Rotary of Great Britain and Ireland which in turn is part of Rotary International. As such both the Rotary Club of Winslow and its Trust Fund are run under their guidance and are subject to their rules and regulations.
GENERAL
The Rotary Club of Winslow Trust Fund was set up to collect and distribute funds mainly to the local community of Winslow and its surrounding villages although a proportion of the funds collected is donated to both national and international good causes.
REPORT
The Club’s fund raising activities grew to a record level of £29,381 during the year. This excellent result was thanks in large part to the generosity of residents of Winslow and the surrounding villages to the Club’s preChristmas Santa Float. The other major fund local raising events were, as in previous years, December’s Welsh Male Voice choir concert, the Club’s summer classic car run and the Club’s participation with other community groups in organising the annual August bank holiday Winslow Show. This enabled the Club to support a wide range of local good causes including the Kids Out local refuges, the Winslow Food Cupboard, hampers for the needy or those alone at Christmas, Steeple Claydon Scouts, Brownies and Guides, Afghan refugees settled locally, and other local community groups. During the year significant donations were also made for international good causes, especially those supported by Rotary International. This included funding shelter box kits for refugees made homeless by earthquakes, providing equipment for Rotary International’s Mercy (hospital) ships and funding was also provided for a new school building in Uganda.
The fundraising enabled the Club’s Trust fund to support 39 good causes during the course of the year. It finished the year with a comfortable balance of £13,733 to support further allocations before the Club’s traditional fundraising towards the end of each calendar year.

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Rotary Club of Winslow for the year ended 30 June 2024.
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
Accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
The accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
The accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.
