Company Law requires the trustees, who are also directors, to prepare a report and financial statements for each
financial period which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company at the end of the
year. These must be in accordance with applicable law and regulations and in accordance with United Kingdom
Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (UK GAAP).
Company law requires that trustees must not approve the fmancial statements unless they are satisfied that they
give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of its surplus or deficit for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to select suitable accounting policies, and then
apply them on a consistent basis, making judgements and estimates that are prudent and reasonable. The trustees
must also prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the
company will continue in business.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
TO THE DIRECTORS / TRUSTEES OF UP 'N AWAY
YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024
I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Up 'N Away for the year ended 30
September 2024 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and related notes.
Res
onsibilities and Basis of Re
ort
As the trustees of the charity (and also its directors for the purposes of company law), you are responsible for
ensuring that the charity complies with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act,) with respect
to the preparation of the accounts. The trustees are also responsible for maintaining adequate accounting records.
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the
Companies Act 2006 and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your
charity's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 ('the 201 l Act,). In carrying out my
examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011
Act.
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 the seeking of explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not
constitute an audit and, accordingly, I do not express an audit opinion on whether the accounts present a 'true and
fair view,.
Inde
endent Examiner's Statement
Following my examination. I confimi that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the
examination giving me cause to believe:
Accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section _386 of the 2006 Act.
or
The accounts do not accord with those records; or
The accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section .396 of the 2006 Act other than
any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view, which is not a matter considered as part of
an independent examination; or
4. The accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of
Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities SORP (FRS 102).
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention
should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
