## Trustees Annual Report For the Year 2021-22 

This year saw the Bognor Regis U3A resume many of its activities following the Covid Pandemic. It has been wonderful to have the U3A back, up and running, with all the hall hires, visits, outings, monthly meetings, etc. 

Points of note:- 

**Gift Aid** is dependent on the previous year and, as we extended memberships duringthe Covid closure period, there were only the new members who joined whose contributions counted. 

## **Trips, visits, theatre** :- 

We have several new shows and trips whose monies are paid in but the tickets not yet bought. Hence the surplus. 

## **Groups** :- 

Several hall hirers are paid at the beginning of the booking period – up until June – and so the contributions towards those have yet to come in. Hence the deficit. This is normal and healthy. 

Our bank balance remains strong and in a good position to support the membership and groups through our return to normality.

## **Examiner’s report on the accounts for 29 March 2021 to 28 March 2022.** 

The treasurer Marilyn Paton has made available to me all necessary information, allowing me to make a full examination of the accounts.These accounts are consistent with the Trustees Annual report to the Charities Commission. I found no reason to doubt their accuracy. 

I can confirm that the year end accounts and bank balance as shown on the bank statements are the same, with all income and expenditure figures agreeing. I also checked the arithmetic in the accounts, and found it to be accurate. 

I am therefore content that the charity is likely to continue to be able to meet all obligations as they fall due until the next annual report.
