Romney Marsh and the surrounding area
Our annual visual arts festival promotes the medieval
churches on the Romney Marsh as accessible and
inclusive spaces for creatives to explore and create
ambitious works.
We provide an educational programme that
celebrates the surrounding landscape and
environment raising
awareness for the need to conserve and protect it.
This year , we worked with local weavers to provide
workshops on how to spin local wool and how to use
a simple loom to make a pattern and colour. We were
able to deliver a series of weaving workshops at
Brookland Primary school as a reward for sitting their
SAT ’s exams|

**Section A Independent Examiner’s Report**
**Report to the trustees**
Charity Name Art In Romney Marsh
**On accounts for the year** 2024 **ended**
**Set out on pages**
**Charity no** 1151970 **(if any)** (remember to include the page numbers of additional sheets)
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended **01/04/2024**
**Responsibilities and** As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the **basis of report** accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”).
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
**Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
- • the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.
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.
- _Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply._
