TAR

With legal matters continuing between the land owner and the other party. We still have not completed, with the money raised and held in a red circled account we are able to proceed at any time. Be assured this dispute is nothing to do with Bird Aid and having successfully raised the funds to purchase their own site this will happen.

This did not prevent the charity obtaining the empty unit next to our charity shop and having a combined lease, with the help of volunteers and professionals as required, fitted out the unit with office, DDA toilet and kitchen. An opening from the existing shop was created and trading has commenced with the introduction of a community café, this allows our users to experience and participate in the hospitality industry.

Due to the uncertain position as to when the outcome of us being able to purchase the land, we have not been able to do direct funding applications for the rehabilitation centre and have funded from reserves to ensure a service is maintained.

Avian Flu has impacted us heavily, as so many wildlife services and vets refused to deal with birds it meant we were inundated with requests for help. We could only offer limited services as we had to ensure our resident gulls were protected from infection. We achieved this with creating isolation areas on site with strict decontamination procedures to ensure protection to our residents. With that we have managed to directly help 350 birds on site with hundreds of others being helped remotely.

Independent Certified Accountants' Review Report to the Trustees of Eastbourne Bird Aid CIO

We have reviewed the financial statements of Eastbourne Bird Aid CIO for the year ended 31 December 2022, which comprise the Income Statement, Balance Sheet and the related notes. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 105 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable to the Micro-entities Regime'.

This report is made solely to the trustees in accordance with our terms of engagement. Our review has been undertaken so that we might state to the trustees those matters that we have agreed with them in our engagement letter and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the organisation and the organisation’s trustees for our work, for this report or the conclusions we have formed.

Accountants' responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion based on our review of the financial statements. We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2400 (Revised), 'Engagements to review historical financial statements' and ICAEW Technical Release TECH 09/13AAF 'Assurance review engagements on historical financial statements'. ISRE 2400 also requires us to comply with the ICAEW Code of Ethics.

Scope of the assurance review

A review of financial statements in accordance with ISRE 2400 (Revised) is a limited assurance engagement. We have performed additional procedures to those required under a compilation engagement. These primarily consist of making enquiries of management and others within the entity, as appropriate, applying analytical procedures and evaluating the evidence obtained. The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland). Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on these financial statements.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the financial statements have not been prepared:

So as to give a true and fair view of the state of the company’s affairs as at 31 December 2022 and of its profit for the year then ended;
In accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
In accordance with requirements of the companies Act 2006.
