Where appropriate, systems or procedures have been established to mitigate the risks the charity faces. Internal control risks are minimised by the implementation of procedures for authorisation of all transactions and projects.
Organisational Structure
The trustees meet regularly and are responsible for the strategic direction and policy of the charity together with the review of the various projects currently being undertaken.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES FOR THE PUBLIC BENEFIT
The Trust aims to provide benefit of patients from time to time of Minchinhampton surgery and for other people residing within three miles of Minchinhampton towards relieving, either generally or individually, persons who are sick, convalescent, disabled, handicapped, infirm or are in conditions of need, hardship or distress.
The Trust also strives for the advancement of the education of the public in the preservation and protection of good health along with supporting other charities whose objects enable them to provide substantially the same benefits as the Trust.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
The Trust worked under immense pressure during the Covid-19 pandemic to deliver the aims of the Trust which contained significant restrictions to providing the usual level of care within the community. The trust is pleased with its efforts during this time and looks to the future to both providing more help and support along with providing assistance in the proposal of building a new surgery on Bell Lane.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The charity is a not-for-profit organisation and relies upon its reserves to facilitate its costs of providing services to the patients of Minchinhampton. It relies on fundraising and donations for any additional activities.
The trustees do not have any concerns regarding the financial position of the Charity.
Reserves Policy
Trustees of Minchinhampton Surgery Charitable Trust have benchmarked the reserves level at three months of unrestricted core costs. This will ensure that the charity is able to function for three months without income. This covers core staffing for the acupuncture and counselling clinics.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF MINCHINHAMPTON SURGERY CHARITABLE TRUST
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31[st] JULY 2022
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(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Charities Act), and that an independent examination is needed.
I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Chartered Association of Certified Accountants.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law, or otherwise, and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
♦ examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Charities Act,
-
♦ to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Charities Act, and
-
♦ to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An independent 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 next statement.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
♦ To keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 and
-
♦ To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities
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.
