RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE TRUSTEES
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees, Annual Report and the financial statements in
accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Charity Law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the
trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally
Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under charity law
the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair
view of the state of affairs of the charity and the income and expenditure of the charity for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently.
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material
departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that
the charity will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain
the charity's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the
charity and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011.
They are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the
prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINATION
Sheila Parry will be considered for re-appointment at the next trustees, meeting as independent examiner for
the ensuing year.
