Littlehampton u3a has 43 groups this year including Acoustic Guitar, Table Tennis, Yoga, Tai Chi, Keep Fit, Ten Pin Bowling, Patchwork and many more diverse activities. Unfortunately, a couple of groups have closed due to group leaders not being able to run the group anymore.
The income of £29,024 comes from membership fees, gift aid and events such as coffee mornings and speaker meetings. The expenditure of £28,097 pays for hire of venues for group activities, Third Aid Trust affiliation fees, printing and postage together with sundry expenses.
An open day was held to show members and prospective new members what is available from Littlehampton u3a to enhance their lives and to be able to meet new friends and enjoy life to the full.
Events such as days trips, coffee mornings, meetings with different speakers on a range of subjects are held each month. A Christmas party is an annual event which is very popular.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT ON THE ACCOUNTS
Responsibilities and basis of report.
I have Independently Examined the Financial Statements on form CC16a, for the financial year ending 28[th] February 2024.
Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
As the charity’s trustees, you are responsible for the preparations of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the 2011 Act”). The charity’s Trustees consider an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is needed.
I report on my examination of the Charity’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.
Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report
My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity Commission and in accordance with section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with these records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you the trustees concerning 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 next statement.
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 that in material respect:
-
the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act: or
-
the accounts did 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 this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
