The trustees have the pleasure of submitting their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31st March 2024
Review of Financial Position
Please refer to the annexed accounts for the details of the financial statements for the year ended 31[st] March 2024
Reserves Policy
The trustees would like to work towards a situation whereby the charity could maintain unrestricted funds at a level which equates to approximately three months of unrestricted expenditure.
Trustees' Responsibilities in Relation to the Financial Statements
The Charities Act requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year, which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the surplus or deficit of the charity for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
a) Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
-
b) Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
c) State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
- d) Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records, which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking any reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Charity and a comparison of the Accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures 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 statement below.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
