Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
Covid-19 changed the way we work as a charity; and like many other organisations we had to find different ways to contribute to the community and fulfil our objectives.
We ran a GO FUND ME project and raised money to help fund the purchase of an ambulance with a local charity in a village in Kolkata. We purchased and provided oxygen concentrators to be used for the villagers with Covid who had nowhere else to go.
We also held a virtual cultural event in the year, promoting Bengali folk music virtually through our Facebook page. This event was free and allowed us to give back to the community during a period of Covid uncertainties.
Our religious event held in the month of October 2021, had to be organised whilst adhering to Covid 19 guidelines, we ensured people had their NHS pass to show they had been vaccinated; for those without the pass they had to undertake a lateral flow test and provide a negative result to ensure everyone attending the event was not spreading Covid.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S UNQUALIFIED REPORT (FOR A NON-COMPANY CHARITY) Independent examiner's report to the trustees of RBBA st I report on the accoutjts of the Trust forthe year ended 31 December 2021, which are set out on the pages below. Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act to state whether particular matters have come to my attention Basis of independent examinerfs report My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 presentedwith those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual itemsordisclosures 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 the next statement. Independent examiner's ststement The trustees have prepared receipts and payment accounts, Showing cash received in the year 2021 35 £39,274. The bank receipt for the period matches the amount. Sufficient records have been kept to tracethe donations received and deposited to the bank. The receipt books with cheques are comparable with the bank deposits. Invoices oremail communication orminutes of the committee meetings evidenced the tnajority of the payment5. Some of the expenditures were made in cash and bank transfers to members againstthe expense claim fonn in relation to the events. Cheque payments and bank transfers can be traced back to payment details and nothing unusual has come to my notice. It is advised that all financial information and docutnents kept during the 2021 financial year are maintained as far as possible in the system during the next f inancial year. Pagelof2
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention: (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act and to prepare accounts that accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met or (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached Name: Arun K Debnath Relevant professional qualification or body: Chartered Global Managemer)t Accountant (CIMA) Address: Glenthorne, 6 Woodberry Avenue, Harrow, HA2 6AU, Greater London Date: 24 October 2022.
