## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the trustees of Green Tree House for year ended 31 July 2020**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31 July 2020.
As the charity trustees of the Trust, you are responsible for the preparation of the 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 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 which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:
- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act or
- the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

## **Green Tree House Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 July 2020**
## **1. Receipts & payments accounts**
Receipts and payments accounts are statements that summarise the movement of cash into and out of the charity during the financial year. In this context “cash” includes cash equivalents, for example, bank accounts where cash can be readily withdrawn to pay for debts as they become due. For the purposes of understanding a statement of assets and liabilities at the year-end has been included.

## **3. Subsequent events**
The Covid-19 pandemic has hit the café hard, meaning we can’t open in that capacity. However, from October 2020 we started the food club which has meant we can continue during Covid and intend to continue with the Café once the pandemic is over.
