It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six months expenditure . The Trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that , in the event of a significant drop in funding , they will be able to continue the charity's current activities while consideration is given to ways of securing additional funding . This , as always , is subject to seasonal variation as was the case ar year end .
The main source of income for the charity is from membership fees and the main expenditure relates to the provision of relevant services .
The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to major risks .

The trustees , who are also directors of Bridge Junior Football Club Ltd for the purposes a company law are responsible for the preparation of the accounts . The 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 .
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is elegible for independent examination , it is my responsibility to :

Basis of independent examiner's 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 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 'trust and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the next statement .
Independent examiner's report
In connection with my examination , no other matter except that referred to on the previous paragraph has come to my attention .
a) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: I) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006 ; and Ii) to prepare accounts which accord with accounting records , comply with the accounting requirements of 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with methods and principles of the Statement of a Recommended Practice : Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met or
