Funding is mainly from donations from parents and employers or individuals that benefit from the centre either from lessons, assessments or advice. Grants have been obtained and more are being sought towards equipment and general running costs. As a charity donated income is also subject to gift aid.

Events

Both tutors and committee members have attended meetings and seminars, keeping abreast of new research, best strategies for helping people with dyslexia and for awareness of fundraising options.

Trustees and Volunteers

The committee is made up of parents and tutors all giving their time to ensure the centre is run appropriately and to generate funds for the centre.

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Ashford Dyslexia Centre

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Ashford Dyslexia Centre for the year ended 30 June 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 th June e 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.

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.
