TESTIMONIAL
"We have been visited by one of the Bobby Scheme team from the Blue Lamp Twst. He started by
laking a tour of the house and checking our security and fire prevention measures. He gave good
feedback on our security and some great recommendations about how to ensure we could leave
the property, in the event of a fire. at the least risk to our safety. He then installed a C02 detector by
to our boiler. a fire detector in our kitchen and a smoke detector in the garage where our tumble
dryer is located. All of this at no cost. When requesting the visit. we had requested that he install a
Ring Doorbell which he did and we only needed to pay for the unit, again his lime was fr￿ to us.
Everyone who qualifies for this service should certainly make use of it. Thank you again Bobby
Scheme. Eastleigh."

throughout the process. He explained everything nicely arKI made me feel comfortable. His professional
behaviour was the besL I highly recommend 8lue Lamp Trust.. _ Muhammad
"After passing my test nearly 30 years ago and been a van driver for the last 3 years I had picked up lazy
bad habits. I put in for my taxi test and after the first couple of failed attempts led me to think if this wasn t
going to be right for me but my assessor went through what I was doing wrong and give me tips but atso
said I was a little confident driver which filled me with confidence. I went away and put into practise the
tips I had been given and that has led to me passing my test today with just 2 minor faults. I now look at
driving in a completely different way and I would like to thank the assessor for this that's why l am

Responsibilities of Trustees
As explained more fuLly in the statement of trustees. responsibilities. the trustees. who are also the
directors of the charity for the purpose of company law, are responsible for the preparation of the
financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal
control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that
are free from material misstatement. whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial
statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the charilys ability to continue as a going
concern, disclosing. as applicable. matters related to going concern and using the going concern
basis of accounting unLess the trustees either intend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease
operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial
statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a
whole are free from material misstatement. whether due to fraud or error. and to issue an auditor's
report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a
guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material
misstatementwhen it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud orerrorandare considered material
if. individually or in the aggregate. they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities. including fraud, is detailed
below.
Identify and assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
fraud or error. design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. and obtain audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis forouropinion. The risk of not detecting
a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than forone resulting from error. as fraud may
involve collusion. forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal
control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. but not for the purposes of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal controL
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and the related disclosures made by the directors.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors, use of the going concern basis of accounting
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertaintyexists related to eventor
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
If we conclude that a materiaL uncertainty exists. we are required to draw attention in our auditors
report to the related disclosure in the financial statements or. if such disclosures are inadequate to
modify our opinion. Ourconclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our
auditor's report. However. future evenis or conditions may cause the company to cease to continue
