The Dacapo Music Foundation Limited

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 August 2023

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2023. 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

The objects are to advance the DaCapo approach to music education and appreciation for children and adults in the United Kingdom. This will be achieved through family music centres, in school and out of school workshops and projects and also through a comprehensive teacher training programme.

Public benefit

The DaCapo Music Foundation Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities.

Achievement and performance

Charitable activities

It has been another successful year for DaCapo in its delivery of a first class and innovative musical education both at our Saturday Centre and within 10 London primary schools. Over the year, DaCapo's educational offering has again been enriched by its partnerships with other organisations, notably the Fantasia Orchestra and Proms at St Jude's whose annual festival in June each year is a musical highlight for our primary school students. During the year we trialled a new project with the Little Angel Theatre which delivers a low cost, multi disciplinary project targeting families on low incomes.

At their quarterly board meetings, the trustees consider a number of metrics to monitor the performance of the charity including numbers of new families attending the Saturday centre (and departing), any changes to the number of primary schools supported by DaCapo, details of grant applications made and their success and project work development supporting the charity's social impact strategy. DaCapo has also initiated an annual survey to elicit feedback from its key stakeholders (families, schools and teachers) on all aspects of its operation.

During the course of the year, the Trustees noted DaCapo's success in teaching children and adults from 102 families at the Saturday Centre (2022 135) and supporting 9 state primary schools in North London (2022: 10 ]. This primary school work along with the puppet theatre project enable DaCapo to provide its unique holistic music education programme to a broader audience.

Financial review

Financial position

Overall, costs exceeded income resulting in a deficit of £3,092 (2022 £10,827). Reserves carried forward to next financial year stand at £8,304 (2022 £11,397).

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 August 2023

Financial review

Reserves policy

The reserves policy of The DaCapo Music Foundation has been reviewed by the Board of Trustees. It is the intention of the directors to work towards an increased level of unrestricted reserves, in the medium term, to a level of £45,000 considered to be sufficient for approximately half a term of usual expenditure, although it is noted that current year costs would indicate a level of £60,500 would be required. Current reserves fall below the level determined and the trustees are acutely aware of the need to improve profitability. They are committed to supporting the CEO in working towards increasing income levels by focusing on increased grant applications. Since the year end, DaCapo has engaged the services of Vantage Fundraising to support this activity.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charitable company to be able to continue as a going concern.

Covid -19

The charitable company benefitted from the Government coronavirus support by arranging a Bounceback Loan to assist with working capital requirements during this difficult period. This has been partially drawn down.

Future plans

The DaCapo Board remains focussed on the continued provision of a first level standard of care and support to our Saturday families and primary schools whilst developing programmes which will extend access to a DaCapo musical education to less well-off families. The project with the Little Angel Theatre Company is an example of this.

Structure, governance and management

Governing document

The DaCapo Music Foundation Limited was incorporated as a company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital under the Companies Act 1985 on 16 September 2008. The DaCapo Music Foundation Limited was registered as a charity, number 1136051, with effect from 21 May 2010 under its Memorandum and Articles of Association. Dacapo has no share capital and the members of the board of trustees have no interest in its surplus or assets and receive no remuneration. No trustees have any contract or arrangement of a material nature with the Foundation during the period under review.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

Prospective trustees are recommended by existing trustees or the Foundation's senior management to join the board of trustees or by open advertisement. In selecting new trustees, the Board is cognisant of the importance of diversity in its composition as well as ensuring that there is a relevant range of skillsets and knowledge represented on the Board.

Organisational structure

The trustees consider the trustees and the senior management team comprise the key management personnel of the Foundation in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating the charity on a day to day basis. All trustees and key personnel give their time freely.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Dacapo Music Foundation Limited

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Dacapo Music Foundation Limited ('the Company') I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 August 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Page 5

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Dacapo Music Foundation Limited

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 Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

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:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Year Ended 31 August 2023

1. Statutory information

The Dacapo Music Foundation Limited is a private charitable company, limited by guarantee and registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is shown on the charity information on page one of these financial statements. The nature of the charity's operations are detailed in the Trustees Report.

2. Accounting policies

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value.

The financial statements are presented in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charitable company. All amounts stated are rounded to the nearest £1.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

Accounting estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and In the application of the company's accounting policies, the trustees and directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Management have used their expectation of the estimated useful lives of each category of assets in order to ensure the appropriate provision is made for depreciation. Details of the estimated useful lives are noted in the accounting policies and the depreciation provision is stated in the notes to the accounts.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Donations are recognised when the charity has received written notified of the amounts and the settlement date. If conditions are attached to the donation that require a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions have been met or fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable they will be fulfilled.

The charity benefits from the involvement and support of volunteers. The economic contribution of this support is not recognised in the accounts.

2. Accounting policies - continued

Income

Fixed asset gifts in kind are recognised when receivable and re included at fair value.

Income from charitable activities includes income from fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category.

Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Expenditure on charitable activities comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services to beneficiaries. It includes both costs allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs and administrative payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity.

The basis on which support costs have been allocated and the analysis of these costs is included in the notes to the accounts.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Fixtures and fittings 25% reducing balance

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

Financial instruments

The charity has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. These are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves, and the support of a bank overdraft facility that is not currently utilised, for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 August 2023

The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 August 2023. 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

The objects are to advance the DaCapo approach to music education and appreciation for children and adults in the United Kingdom. This will be achieved through family music centres, in school and out of school workshops and projects and also through a comprehensive teacher training programme.

Public benefit

The DaCapo Music Foundation Limited meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy notes. The trustees confirm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the charity's aims and objectives and in planning future activities.

Achievement and performance

Charitable activities

It has been another successful year for DaCapo in its delivery of a first class and innovative musical education both at our Saturday Centre and within 10 London primary schools. Over the year, DaCapo's educational offering has again been enriched by its partnerships with other organisations, notably the Fantasia Orchestra and Proms at St Jude's whose annual festival in June each year is a musical highlight for our primary school students. During the year we trialled a new project with the Little Angel Theatre which delivers a low cost, multi disciplinary project targeting families on low incomes.

At their quarterly board meetings, the trustees consider a number of metrics to monitor the performance of the charity including numbers of new families attending the Saturday centre (and departing), any changes to the number of primary schools supported by DaCapo, details of grant applications made and their success and project work development supporting the charity's social impact strategy. DaCapo has also initiated an annual survey to elicit feedback from its key stakeholders (families, schools and teachers) on all aspects of its operation.

During the course of the year, the Trustees noted DaCapo's success in teaching children and adults from 102 families at the Saturday Centre (2022 135) and supporting 9 state primary schools in North London (2022: 10 ]. This primary school work along with the puppet theatre project enable DaCapo to provide its unique holistic music education programme to a broader audience.

Financial review

Financial position

Overall, costs exceeded income resulting in a deficit of £3,092 (2022 £10,827). Reserves carried forward to next financial year stand at £8,304 (2022 £11,397).

Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 August 2023

Financial review

Reserves policy

The reserves policy of The DaCapo Music Foundation has been reviewed by the Board of Trustees. It is the intention of the directors to work towards an increased level of unrestricted reserves, in the medium term, to a level of £45,000 considered to be sufficient for approximately half a term of usual expenditure, although it is noted that current year costs would indicate a level of £60,500 would be required. Current reserves fall below the level determined and the trustees are acutely aware of the need to improve profitability. They are committed to supporting the CEO in working towards increasing income levels by focusing on increased grant applications. Since the year end, DaCapo has engaged the services of Vantage Fundraising to support this activity.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for 12 months from authorising these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves for the charitable company to be able to continue as a going concern.

Covid -19

The charitable company benefitted from the Government coronavirus support by arranging a Bounceback Loan to assist with working capital requirements during this difficult period. This has been partially drawn down.

Future plans

The DaCapo Board remains focussed on the continued provision of a first level standard of care and support to our Saturday families and primary schools whilst developing programmes which will extend access to a DaCapo musical education to less well-off families. The project with the Little Angel Theatre Company is an example of this.

Structure, governance and management

Governing document

The DaCapo Music Foundation Limited was incorporated as a company limited by guarantee and not having a share capital under the Companies Act 1985 on 16 September 2008. The DaCapo Music Foundation Limited was registered as a charity, number 1136051, with effect from 21 May 2010 under its Memorandum and Articles of Association. Dacapo has no share capital and the members of the board of trustees have no interest in its surplus or assets and receive no remuneration. No trustees have any contract or arrangement of a material nature with the Foundation during the period under review.

Recruitment and appointment of new trustees

Prospective trustees are recommended by existing trustees or the Foundation's senior management to join the board of trustees or by open advertisement. In selecting new trustees, the Board is cognisant of the importance of diversity in its composition as well as ensuring that there is a relevant range of skillsets and knowledge represented on the Board.

Organisational structure

The trustees consider the trustees and the senior management team comprise the key management personnel of the Foundation in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating the charity on a day to day basis. All trustees and key personnel give their time freely.

Structure, governance and management

Risk management

The trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. The trustees have assessed the major risks to which Dacapo is exposed, and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to them. The trustees continue to review and monitor the systems for managing the major strategic, business and operational risks which Dacapo faces. As at 31 August 2023 the trustees have not identified any new operational risks arising from such matters to which Dacapo may be exposed.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Dacapo Music Foundation Limited

Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Dacapo Music Foundation Limited ('the Company')

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 August 2023.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity's accounts as carried out under Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 2011 Act'). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under Section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 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 Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, which is one of the listed bodies.

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:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by Section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of Section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102)).

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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Year Ended 31 August 2023

1. Statutory information

The Dacapo Music Foundation Limited is a private charitable company, limited by guarantee and registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is shown on the charity information on page one of these financial statements. The nature of the charity's operations are detailed in the Trustees Report.

2. Accounting policies

Basis of preparing the financial statements

The financial statements of the charitable company, which is a public benefit entity under FRS 102, have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) '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)', Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, with the exception of investments which are included at market value.

The financial statements are presented in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charitable company. All amounts stated are rounded to the nearest £1.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

Accounting estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and In the application of the company's accounting policies, the trustees and directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Management have used their expectation of the estimated useful lives of each category of assets in order to ensure the appropriate provision is made for depreciation. Details of the estimated useful lives are noted in the accounting policies and the depreciation provision is stated in the notes to the accounts.

Income

All income is recognised in the Statement of Financial Activities once the charity has entitlement to the funds, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably.

Donations are recognised when the charity has received written notified of the amounts and the settlement date. If conditions are attached to the donation that require a level of performance before entitlement can be obtained then income is deferred until those conditions have been met or fulfilment of those conditions is within the control of the charity and it is probable they will be fulfilled.

The charity benefits from the involvement and support of volunteers. The economic contribution of this support is not recognised in the accounts.

Notes to the Financial Statements - continued

for the Year Ended 31 August 2023

2. Accounting policies - continued

Income

Fixed asset gifts in kind are recognised when receivable and re included at fair value.

Income from charitable activities includes income from fundraising events and trading activities to raise funds for the charity. Income is received in exchange for supplying goods and services in order to raise funds and is recognised when entitlement has occurred.

Expenditure

Liabilities are recognised as expenditure as soon as there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to that expenditure, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all cost related to the category.

Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.

Expenditure on charitable activities comprises those costs incurred by the charity in the delivery of its activities and services to beneficiaries. It includes both costs allocated directly to such activities and those costs of an indirect nature necessary to support them.

Support costs are those that assist the work of the charity but do not directly represent charitable activities and include office costs, governance costs and administrative payroll costs. They are incurred directly in support of expenditure on the objects of the charity.

The basis on which support costs have been allocated and the analysis of these costs is included in the notes to the accounts.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost (or deemed cost) or valuation less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Fixtures and fittings 25% reducing balance

Taxation

The charity is exempt from corporation tax on its charitable activities.

Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees.

Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objects of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the donor or when funds are raised for particular restricted purposes.

Further explanation of the nature and purpose of each fund is included in the notes to the financial statements.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The charitable company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pension scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

Financial instruments

The charity has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. These are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as the trustees believe that no material uncertainties exist. The trustees have considered the level of funds held and the expected level of income and expenditure for a period of 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The budgeted income and expenditure is sufficient with the level of reserves, and the support of a bank overdraft facility that is not currently utilised, for the charity to be able to continue as a going concern.

Dear Sirs

The following representations are made on the basis of enquiries of management and staff with relevant knowledge and experience such as we consider necessary in connection with your independent examination of the ��������������������� financial statements for the year ended 31 August 2023. These enquiries have included inspection of supporting documentation where appropriate and are sufficient to satisfy ourselves that we can make each of the following representations. All representations are made to the best of our knowledge and belief.

General

  1. We acknowledge that the work performed by you is substantially less in scope than an audit performed in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and that you do not express an audit opinion.

  2. We confirm that the charitable company qualifies as small in accordance with the conditions set out in chapter 1 of part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

  3. We confirm that the charitable company was entitled to exemption under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 the requirement to have its financial statements for the financial year ended 31 August 2022 audited. We also confirm that the members have not required the company to obtain an audit of its financial statements for the financial year in accordance with section 476 of the Companies Act 2006.

  4. We have fulfilled our responsibilities as trustees as set out in the terms of your engagement letter dated 30 January 2023 under the Companies Act 2006 / Charities Act 2011 for preparing financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view and for making accurate representations to you.

  5. All the transactions undertaken by the charitable company have been properly reflected and recorded in the accounting records.

  6. All the accounting records have been made available to you for the purpose of your independent examination. We have provided you with unrestricted access to all appropriate persons within the charitable company, and with all other records and related information requested, including minutes of all management and trustee meetings and correspondence with The Charity Commission.

  7. The financial statements are free of material misstatements, including omissions.

  8. The effects of uncorrected misstatements are immaterial both individually and in total.

Assets and liabilities

  1. The charitable company has satisfactory title to all assets and there are no liens or encumbrances on the charitable ���������� assets, except for those that are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.

  2. All actual liabilities, contingent liabilities and guarantees given to third parties have been recorded or disclosed as appropriate.

  3. We have no plans or intentions that may materially alter the carrying value and, where relevant, the fair value measurements or classification of assets and liabilities reflected in the financial statements.

Accounting estimates

  1. The methods, data and significant assumptions used by us in making accounting estimates, and their related disclosures, are appropriate to achieve recognition, measurement and disclosure that is reasonable in the context of the applicable financial reporting framework.

  2. The charitable company has not granted any advances or credits to, or made guarantees on behalf of trustees other than those disclosed in the financial statements.

Legal claims

  1. We have disclosed to you all claims in connection with litigation that have been, or are expected to be, received and such matters, as appropriate, have been properly accounted for and disclosed in the financial statements.

Laws and regulations

  1. We have disclosed to you all known instances of non-compliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations whose effects should be considered when preparing the financial statements.

Related parties

  1. Related party relationships and transactions have been appropriately accounted for and disclosed in the financial statements. We have disclosed to you all relevant information concerning such relationships and transactions and are not aware of any other matters which require disclosure in order to comply with legislative and accounting standards requirements.

Subsequent events

  1. All events subsequent to the date of the financial statements which require adjustment or disclosure have been properly accounted for and disclosed.

Going concern

���������������������������������������������� financial statements should be prepared on a going concern basis on the grounds that current and future sources of funding or support will ��������������������������������������������������� needs. We have considered a period of twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements. We believe that no further disclosures relating to the charitable ability to continue as a going concern need to be made in the financial statements.

Grants and donations

  1. All grants, donations and other income, the receipt of which is subject to specific terms or conditions, have been notified to you. There have been no breaches of terms or conditions in the application of such income.

Charges

  1. We confirm that the charge registered at Companies House in respect of the Rent deposit deed is no longer outstanding and the directors/trustees intend to submit a Statement of Satisfaction to Companies House.

Yours faithfully

..............................................................................................................................

Signed on behalf of the board of trustees
