Due to covid restrictions we were unable to hold the annual meeting and provide our regular fundraising activities such as quiz nights and summer and Christmas fairs.

We were, however, awarded a grant from Severn Trent Water to build a sensory garden for the children of the setting to be able to learn about growing vegetables, composting and the insects that the wild flowers attracted.

This was a project to share with other members of our local community, namely The local Dementia society and we look forward to welcoming them soon when restrictions allow.

Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of ‘Fluffy Fundraisers’, Charity Number 1161655

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (the Charity) for the year ended 01 December 2020.

Responsibilities and basis of report

As the charity trustees 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 all 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 giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:

accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 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.

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.
