Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 June 2023
The Trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 30 June 2023.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
The principal activity of the organisation in the period under review was that of providing benefit to children, young people and adults, primarily but not exclusively, and without limitation, within the Beaumont Leys Ward of Leicester. To ensure a better quality of life for the residents of Beaumont Leys.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE
This year, the trustees of Beaumont Lodge Neighbourhood Association continued to demonstrate their commitment and dedication in a voluntary capacity, playing a crucial role in sustaining our operations and growth. We extend our profound appreciation to all our members, supporters, and community partners for their unwavering assistance and support. This collaboration has been integral to our ability to navigate through challenging times and maintain our momentum.
Significant milestones this year included the successful hosting of the King's Coronation event and an engaging series of youth sessions, both of which exemplify our commitment to community engagement and development. We also wish to express our gratitude to E2 - The Cooke E-Learning Foundation, The National Lottery Community Fund, Leicester City Council, and our Ward Councillors for their valuable contributions, which have been been instrumental in our achievements.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The past financial year presented several challenges, particularly in terms of managing increased operational costs against the backdrop of fluctuating revenue streams. Despite these hurdles, our resolve to maintain financial stability remained strong. We are mindful of the need to enhance our income sources to cope with the rising costs of utilities and services, ensuring the continuation of our standard operations. Our focus remains on identifying and implementing sustainable financial solutions while efficiently managing our existing resources.
In conclusion, the dedication of our trustees, the generosity of our supporters, and the strength of our community partnerships form the cornerstone of our continued success. We are confident in our ability to overcome current challenges and remain steadfast in our mission to serve our community effectively.

Report of the Trustees (Continued) for the Year Ended 30 June 2023
STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES
Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the net surplus or deficit of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the Trustees are required to:-
-
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is appropriate to presume that the charity
-
will not continue in operation
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities SORP FRS 102. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The organisation has taken advantage of the small companies exemption in preparing the report above. The trustees declare that they have approved the trustees report above.

Independent Examiners Report to the Trustees for the Year Ended 30 June 2023
I report on the accounts of the Charity for the year ended 30 June 2022 which are set out on pages 4 to 6.
This report is made solely to the trustees, as a body, in accordance with the regulations made under Section 154 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, as a body, for my work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act)) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts (under section 145 of the Act)
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under) section 145(5)(b) of the Act); and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiners report
My examination is 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 charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and the seeking of 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, I do not express an audit opinion on the "true and fair" view given by the accounts, and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention to indicate that:
-
Accounting records have not been kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006.
-
The accounts do not accord with such records.
-
Where accounts are prepared on an accruals basis, whether they fail to comply with relevant accounting
requirements under section 396 of the Companies Act 2006, or are not consistent with the Charities SORP (FRS102).
- Any matter which the examiner believes should be drawn to the attention of the reader to gain a proper understanding of the accounts.
