## **TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT**
## **FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2023 (continued)**
## **4. Reserves**
The charity holds reserves in order to ensure it is well placed to meet challenges that may arise in the future. The trustees consider reserves to be adequate.
## **5. Trustees' responsibilities in relation to the annual report**
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
Law applicable to charitable companies in England and Wales requires the Trustees to prepare a Trustees' Report, and financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity's financial activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. In preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view, the Trustees should follow best practice and;
- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP.
