The trustees present their report and accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025.
Structure, governance and management
The charity was established under its constitution on 11 November 2016 and registered as a charity with the Charity Commission on that date.
The trustees who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the accounts were:

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Achievements and performance
The main challenge in 2024/25 Financial year continued to be the increase in energy prices along with attracting more individuals and businesses to use the centre. We have continued to attract new businesses/groups to the centre. All saints will continue to focus on this along with looking at possible funding avenues.
Financial review
The receipts and payments account on page 4 shows a deficit of receipts to payments of £32,873 for the year ended 31 March 2025.
It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted funds which have not been designated for a specific use should be maintained at a level equivalent to between three and six months’ expenditure. The trustees consider that reserves at this level will ensure that, in the event of a significant drop in income, they will be able to continue the charity’s current activities while consideration is given to ways in which additional funds may be raised.
On behalf of the board of trustees

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT
TO THE TRUSTEES OF ALL SAINTS COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION CIO
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025 which are set out on pages 4 to 6.
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 require for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
(i) examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
(ii) 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
-
(iii) to state whether 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 Commission. 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 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, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(a) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
(i) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
(ii) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
-
have not been met; or
-
(b) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
