NEWDAWN FOUNDATION
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 JULY 2020
The following is an account of the activities, events and general progress of charity..
The Charity continues to establish and develop objectives of Homelessness Prevention and Housing Advice Service.
FINANCIAL REVIEW AND RESERVES POLICY
The income of the charity for the year was £80,120 by way of Donations. The cost of charitable activities was £80,096 . This was spent directly and indirectly to support the charities activities. At the end of the year there was a favorable net movement of funds amounting to £24 . At the end of the year, 31 July 2020, there was an unrestricted fund balance amounted to £0 . The charity’s policy is to retain reserves, in the form of unrestricted funds, to a level where they equate in value approximately 12 months expenditure. This should provide a reasonably secure financial base on which to plan future projects and commit to related expenditure, before external funding has been fully secured. The charity is reviewing its reserves policy so that the charity would be able to continue its current level of activities in the event of a significant drop in funding.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF NEWDAWN FOUNDATION
I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 31 July 2020, which are set out on the following pages which have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies shown in the corresponding pages.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner The trustees of the charity are responsible for the preparation of accounts: they consider that the audit requirement under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act)), does not apply. It is my responsibility to:
Examine the accounts under section 43(3) of the 1993 Act.
Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners made under section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act, and
State whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Direction given by the Charity Commissioner’s. An examination included a review of the accounting records kept. It also includes consideration of any unusual items of disclosures in the accounts. And seeking examinations from you as trustees concerning any matters.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and as a result I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent Examiner’s Statement
In accordance with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me a reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting record in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act and
-
to prepare which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act.
-
Have not been met
-
To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
