Articles of Association adopted on 8th October 2008.
Directors meet on a quarterly basis where they receive full financial reports from the
Treasurer, a fi￿1 project report from the Charity Manager and where they consider all other
strategic issues relating to the Charity.
FLC Volunteers are recruited via our friends and contacts, statutory partners and via our
social media accounts. We have worked with the Derbyshire Dales Council for Voluntary
Service and other stakeholders to promote our request for volunteers. Our hard copy publicity
materials, new media and press releases include volunteer recrnitment.
Our charity is open to everyone living in nwal communities including fanners- we accept self-
referrals as well as referrals from social care and health professionals - therefore anyone who
lives in rural communities can seek support from the charity. Moreover, FLC is involved with
rural enterprises/businesses and health so there is scope to support hard to reach individuals in
a holistic way.
Our activities are charitable and projects aim to benefit those most in need. We aim to tackle
wider detenninants of health and impact on our ruraVfarn]ing communities who are affected
by distance decay. The FLC Board understands its obligations to manage resources wisely.
Throughout the year, regular reviews of contingency and emergency fimds have been carried
out to ensure the charity is fully compliant. Given the challenges, the Board actively seeks to
manage risk to ensure continuation of the charity to reach increasing numbers of beneficiaries.
Risk Management
Major risks to which FLC might be exposed have been identified by the Board based on
inforniation provided by the Charity Manager and Treasurer. Where significant risks are
identified, a strategy for mitigating those risks will be developed and presented to the Board
of Trustees for approval.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2024 which are set out on
pages 9 to 18.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) ar¢
responsible for the prcparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not rcquired
for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent
examindtion is needed.
Havftng satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to an audit under company law and is eligible
for independent examination. it is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of thc 2011 Act.
fol low the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission
under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. and
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiller's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity
Commission. An 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 you as 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 th¢ ststement below.
Independent examiller'5 Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material rcspcct, the requircments:
to keep accounting r¢cords 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.
