Revl6w of financlal posftlon
Full details of the financial position are set out on pages 7 and 8 supported by the accompanying notes
lo the accounts.
R88erves policy
Under spend from grant fundlng is rolled into the next flnancial year and is not to be considered as
retained eamings. However, it is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been
designated for 8 specific use, should be accumulated and mainlained at a level equivalent to between
three and six month's expendlture, thus rnaintalning sufficient funds to avoid the need for overdraft
facilities and to also cover potential redundancy. The trustees consider that this level of reserves would
provide sufficient funds that, in the event of a signlficant drop in funding, they will be able to continue
the charity's current activities while consideration is glven to ways in which addltional funds may be
raised.
Rlsk factors
The trustees have examined the main business and operational risks whlch the charity could face and
are ensuring that regular reports are produced so that necessary steps can b8 taken to reduce those
risks to acceptable levels.
The major risks to which the company are exposed are examlned and reviewed regularly and systerns
have been established to mitigate any risks identified. Major extemal risks to funding are cutrently
being reviewed by the Management and Trustees. Internal risks are minimised by procedures for
authorisation of all transactions and to ensure a high quality of service delivery throughout the
organisation. Procedures and policies are reviewed to ensure thal they continue to meet the needs of
the organisation.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT EXAMINER TO THE TRUSTEES OF
ACTIVATE RAWMARSH LIMITED
YEAR ENDED 31ST AUGUST 2024
The following is a report on the accounts set out on pages 710 15.
Respectlve responsibilities of trustees and examlner
The trustees (who are also Ihe directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are
responsible for the preparation of Ihe 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.
The charity's gross income exceeded £250.000 in Ihis financial year. l am qualified to undertak8 the
examination, being a qualified member of the Association of Accounting Technicians.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for
independent 8xamination, it is my ￿spOnSibl11tY to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity
Commissioners under section 145{5)(b) of the 2011 Act. and
State whether particular matters have come to my attentlon.
Basis of Independent examlnorf8 report
My exarnination was carried out in accordance with the general directions given by the Charity
Commission. An examination includes a review of the 8ccounting records kept by the charity and
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 examlnor'8 Statement
In connection with my èxaminatlon, no matter has come to my attentlon:
1. which glves me reasonable cause to belleve thal in any material respect the requlrements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the
accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and wilh the methods
and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by
Charities have not been met. or
2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be d￿wn in order to enable a proper understanding of the
accounts to be reached.
