REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MAY 2022
The trustees who are also directors of the charity for the purposes of the Companies Act 2006, present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 May 2022. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
This financial year we have continued to raise money to improve our clubhouse with a new roof and general maintenance. New play equipment and a 12ft x 12ft swimming pool were purchased to meet the varying needs and ages of the children.
Money was raised by organising and attending local events. One Step at a Time.me was chosen to receive the ticket money this year from the Feasty Fest event in Cheam. We continue to benefit from the enormous support of the Moto GP both with fundraising and donations alongside the local support from Morrison's, Dobbie's Garden Centre, Police and Little League which have also donated items and cash.
A great many outings and social events were arranged for our families this year including days out, trampolining, pony riding, parties, coffee mornings and darts evenings both for parents and for carers.
We have used our facilities to their full potential this year, opening for regular play sessions which bring families together to socialise and to share anxieties and uncertainties whilst at the same time enabling them to make new friends while the children play and develop in a safe environment. It has been rewarding to welcome new families to our little community.
As trustees, we now look forward to another year where we can support our families, welcome new ones with their special children and provide a safe and friendly haven for them to come and be themselves without discrimination whilst at the same time allowing their parents and carers to relax and feel part of our community.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
During the year the Charity enjoyed a surplus of £2,503.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF ONE STEP AT A TIME.ME
Independent examiner's report to the trustees of One Step at a Time.Me ('the Company')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 May 2022.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity's trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act 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 2011 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.
Independent examiner's statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm 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
-
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 (applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (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.
