Due to Covid-19 we planned for reduced public open days and held them as and when we could using Facebook and our website to announce the days we were open as they happened, we were able to do sixteen of these days.

The program of weekly evening meetings was cancelled as covid restrictions made it impossible.

Even though Covid-19 stopped normal planned events, work continued where possible with maintenance of the site building and infrastructure. Covid safe practices and social distancing being adhered to.

Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)

Fund raising was very difficult but through local authority grants, generous donations from members and the public, and the ad-hoc public open days we held we were able to maintain funding for the essential overheads and maintenance.

Appeals continued to be made through our website for funds, which enabled us to cover the standard overhead charges such as electricity gas, rent and etc.. Funds allowed us to continue maintenance of the facilities.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Cardiff Model Engineering Society

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Cardiff Model Engineering Society

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Cardiff Model Engineering Society (the Trust) for the year ended 31 August 2021.

Responsibilities and basis of report

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 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.

Independent examiner's statement

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:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or

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

  3. 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.
