Report of the Trustees
For The Period Ending 31 March 2024
Statement of the Trustees' Financial Responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Charity Law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements and statements of assets and liabilities for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of its financial activities for that period together with its assets and liabilities at the end of the period and adequately distinguish any material special trust or other restricted fund of the charity. In preparing those financial statements the trustees are required to:
-
Select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently
-
Observe the methods and principles in Charities SORP
-
Make judgements and estimates that are reasonably prudent
-
State whether applicable accounting standard have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements, and
-
Prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that GSG will continue in business.
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 financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the constitutions. 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.

Gateway Support Group (GSG) INDEPENDENT EXAMINIER'S REPORT YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2024
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31st March 2024 set out on pages five to nine.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The Charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act').
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act); and
-
-to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the independent examiners report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives 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
-
-to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be draw in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

| resources | - the charity becomes entitled to the resources; |
| - the trustees are virtually certain they will receive the resources; and | |
| - the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliably. | |
| Incoming resources with | Where incoming resources have related expenditure (as with fund raising or contract |
| related expenditure | income) the incoming resources and related expenditure are reported gross in the SoFA. |
| Grants and donations | Grants and donations are only included in the SoFA when the charity has unconditional |
| entitlement to the resources. | |
| Tax reclaims on | Incoming resources from tax reclaims are included in the SoFA at the same time as the |

| the amount actually realised. | |
| Gifts in kind for sale or distribution are included in the accounts as gifts only when sold | |
| or distributed by the charity. | |
| Gifts in kind for use by the charity are included in the SoFA as incoming resources | |
| when receivable. | |
| Donated services and | These are only included in incoming resources (with an equivalent amount in resources |
| facilities | expended) where the benefit to the charity is reasonably quantifiable, measurable and |
| material. The value placed on these resources is the estimated value to the charity of the | |
| service or facility received. | |
| Volunteer help | The value of any voluntary help received is not included in the accounts but is described |
| in the trustees' annual report. | |
| Investment income | This is included in the accounts when receivable. |
