Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 June 2025
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2025. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
Selby Hands of Hope was formed in the main, for the relief of financial hardship amongst people within Selby District by providing such persons with goods and services which they could not otherwise afford through lack of means.
Currently the charity has been involved in a community enterprise project, offering training and developing work experience for unemployed individuals through a local gardening project
The charity delivers support, training, and array of services for people living in the Selby District. The charity provides families and individuals with a variety of help, which includes donations of household goods, assistance with rent and utilities, and help with various items for children of school age. Every Christmas we provide gifts for vulnerable families, from the youngest to the eldest, so no member of the family is left out. There has been a very large increase in our Christmas appeal due to the Cost of Living.
In shaping our objectives for the year and planning our activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission's guidance on public benefit.
Selby Hands of Hope relies on grant income, fundraising income, and shop income.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
The Charity has maintained operating fundraising and utilising any donations for general charitable purposes for the advancement of economic and community development, and prevention of poverty, and have provided for over eight hundred and twenty individuals.
Fundraising activities
We have continued with our annual fundraising activities this year, which have included the Great North Run, Golf Day, Charity Football Match and a Ball in our local community.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
The trustees are pleased with the maintained level of financial performances recorded this year.
Reserves policy
Reserves are maintained at such a level as to ensure the day to day activities of the charity can be continued without financial pressure.
The actual reserves held this year were £10,000 (2024: £13,692).
We completed our fundraising for the purpose of purchasing a new van and raised over £20,000, which went toward the purchase of a van in March 2025, together with the signage, insurance and road tax.
The van enables us to deliver and collect goods for either the shop or to be passed on as a grant. Also the van enables us to help individuals and families to move premises and dispose of any goods no longer required. Without a van we would not be able to assist as many people as we do.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Selby Hands Of Hope
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Selby Hands Of Hope
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of Selby Hands Of Hope (the Trust) for the year ended 30 June 2025.
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 the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner's statement
Since your charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a listed body. I can confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of the Association of Accounting Technicians, which is one of the listed bodies.
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:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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.
