Achievements and Performance

Achievements and Performance
	SORP reference
Summary of the main achievements of the charity, identifying the difference the charity’s work has made to the circumstances of its beneficiaries and any wider benefits to society as a whole.	Para 1.20	We have a number of dedicated volunteers who are considered beneficiaries, they access support and mentoring as well as a sense of purpose and community. We have already seen volunteer benefits in building community, confidence, friendships, and professional partnerships. Our attendees say they ‘feel at home here’ and that we provide a ‘great environment, that's welcoming and judgment free’. Although we focus on creative skills and building confidence and resilience through performance- based workshops, we also access funds that allow us to support our community in other ways. This summer we received food poverty funding which saw us provide over 120 free meals to families that were struggling to feed themselves.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER

TO THE TRUSTEES OF HARMONY VARIETY CLUBS LIMITED

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Harmony Variety Clubs Limited (the charity) for the year ended 31 March 2024.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the trustees of the charity you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act).

I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s financial statements carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent examiner’s statement

Your attention is drawn to the fact that the charity has prepared financial statements in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) in preference to the Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statements of Recommended Practice issued on 1 April 2005 which is referred to in the extant regulations but has now been withdrawn.

I understand that this has been done in order for financial statements to provide a true and fair view in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

I have completed my examination; I confirm that no 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 charity as required by section 130 of the 2011 Act; or
the financial statements do not accord with those records; or
the financial statements do not comply with the appliable 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 financial statements to be reached.
