We also considered the disclosures of material facts in the financial reports and the going concern of the charity.
The nature and extent of our examination did not provide appropriate and adequate audit evidence and therefore no audit opinion is provided in this report.
Independent Examiner's statement
In the course of my examination, there was matter came to my attention which give me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act and Regulations of the 2008 Accounts Regulations
-
the preparation of accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulations of the 2008 Accounts Regulations have not been met, or
-
to which in my opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 30 April 2023
1. Accounting Policy
a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and are in accordance with trust law, applicable accounting standards and the Statement of Recommended Practice, “Accounting and Reporting by Charities”, issued in March 2005.
b) Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are general funds that are available for use at the trustees’ discretion in furtherance of the objectives of the charity. Restricted funds are those donated for use in a particular area or for specific purposes, the use of which is restricted to that area or purpose.
c) Incoming resources
Voluntary income, including donations, gifts and legacies and grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature, are recognised where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis.
Income from charitable activities includes income recognised as earned (as the related goods or services are provided) under contract where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount can be measured with sufficient reliability.
d) Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised when a liability is incurred. Funding provided through contractual agreements and performance related grants are recognised as goods or services are supplied.
Other grant payments costs of generating funds are those costs incurred in attracting voluntary income, and those incurred in trading activities that raise funds.
Governance costs include those incurred in the governance of its assets and are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Support costs include central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on a basis consistent with the use of resources, e.g. allocating office property costs by floor areas, management and human resources costs by the number of staff, and finance and IT costs by work done.
e) Donated Goods and volunteer and other donated services.
Donated goods are recognised in different ways dependent on how they are used by the charity:
-
(i) Those donated for resale produce income in the trading venture when they are disposed of.
-
(ii) Those donated for onward transmission to beneficiaries (chiefly clothing, food and medical supplies) are included in the statement of financial activities as incoming resources and resources expended when they are distributed. They are valued at the amount the charity would have had to pay to acquire them.
The charity has not received any goods for use by the charity itself. The value of services provided by volunteers is not incorporated into these financial statements. Where services are provided to the charity as a donation that would normally be purchased from our suppliers this contribution is included in the financial statements at an estimate based on the value of the contribution to the charity.

f) Taxation
Irrecoverable VAT is not separately analysed and is charged to the statement of financial activities when the expenditure to which it relates is incurred and is allocated as part of the expenditure to which it relates.
Tax recovered from voluntary income received under gift aid is recognised when the related income is receivable and is allocated to the income category to which the income relates.
g) Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
Tangible assets are stated at cost and depreciated over their useful economic lives at the following rates:
Fixture and fittings 4 years Equipment 5 years Motor vehicles 4 years
Where the recoverable amount of a tangible asset is found to be below its net book value, the asset is written down to its recoverable amount and the loss on impairment is charged to the relevant expenditure category of the statement of financial activities.
Where an asset is not primarily used to generate income its impairment is assessed by reference to its service potential on its initial acquisition. The charity currently has no tangible fixed assets to which impairment provisions apply.
