The trustees may appoint a person who is willing to serve as a trustee on such terms as they may agree from time to time. New trustees are voted and agreed at the AGM.

Induction and Training

The training and induction of new trustees and directors will depend on their existing experience and where necessary, induction and training on charity, legal and financial matters will be on an informal basis tailored to the individual’s and company’s needs. New trustees are selected in order to gain benefit from their skills and experience, to complement the existing trustees and to provide succession.

The power to appoint new trustees is vested in the trustees. All trustees give their time freely and no remuneration or benefits were paid.

Statement of trustees’ responsibilities

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the accounts in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). The law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires trustees to prepare accounts for each financial period which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources of the charity for that year.

In preparing these accounts, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping sufficient accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) regulations 2008, and the provisions of the governing documents.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT

TO THE TRUSTEES OF SPEED WORKS

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of the

SPEED WORKS

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet and related notes set out on pages 1 – 12.

This report is made solely to the trustees in accordance with Section 145 of the Charities Act 2011. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees for my examination work.

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner

The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. They consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act)) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

Examine the accounts (under Section 145 of the Charities Act).

To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under Section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act); and to state whether any particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of Independent Examiner's report

My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the organisation and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any 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 statement below.

Independent Examiner's statement

In connection with my examination, I confirm that no matter has come to my attention which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the:

  1. accounting records were kept in accordance with Section 130 of the Charities Act; and

  2. the accounts do accord with the accounting records and do comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 2011.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 March 2025

1 Accounting policies

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention with items recognised at cost or transaction value, unless otherwise stated in the relevant notes to the accounts, and in accordance with the charity's governing document, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charitable companies preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

The charity has taken advantage of the provisions in the SORP for charities applying FRS 102 Update Bulletin 1 not to prepare a statement of cash flows.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

1.2. Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.3. Incoming resources

Income is recognised when the charitable company is legally entitled to it, the amounts can be measured reliably, and it is probable that income will be received.

Cash donations are recognised on receipt.

Grants

Grants that provide core funding or are of a general nature are recognised where the entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amounts can be measured with sufficient reliability. Such income is only deferred when there are imposed conditions which must be met before the charitable company has unconditional entitlement.

Charitable funds

Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of their charitable objectives unless the funds have been designated for other purposes. Restricted funds are subject to specific conditions by donors as to how they may be used. The purposes and uses of the restricted funds are set out in the notes to the financial statements.

SPEED WORKS

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 March 2025

Expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis and has been classified under headings that aggregate all costs related to the category. Irrecoverable value added tax is charged against the category of resources expended for which it was incurred.

Governance costs include those incurred in the governance of the charity and its assets are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.

1.5. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and deposits held with the bank.

1.6. Taxation

The company is a registered charity and no provision is considered necessary for taxation.

1.7. Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds can be used in accordance with the charitable objectives at the discretion of the trustees. Restricted funds can only be used for particular restricted purposes within the objectives of the charity. Restrictions arise when specified by the contributor or when funds are raised for specific purposes.

1.8. Volunteer help

The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts.

2 Critical accounting estimates and judgements

In the application of the charity's accounting policies, the trustees are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
