Annual Report of the Trustees of Knighton Show and Carnival 2024 Registered Charity number 1170350
Chair’s report
Firstly I would like to thank our small but fantastic committee, we all know our jobs and sing from the same hymn sheet.
Thanks to the RAFA Club and Stewards for hosting meetings. Helpers throughout the year are a necessity with our small committee, on the lead up to the show, on the day and after for clearing up. Thank you to them. The day itself went very well with the exception of a nasty shower of rain just before the procession. Lots of people downtown and on the field, a lot of positive feedback about the show.
Thank you to everyone for your continued support.
Paul Davies
Chair
The Treasurer's report was read out for the year and relates to the accounts attached.
Total income was £18,037 with £801 in donations, £5424 in
sponsorship, and £1000 for the raffle. Which yielded a slight loss of £2,339. But with finances available in our bank we are able to cover this cost.
Expenses included £11,743 for Acts, £714 fireworks for carnival day, 1,128 to cover insurance and £934 printing and stationery costs. We donated £1800 to 9 youth groups in town following the end of the year in order to support charities as in our constitution.
The accounts were approved by the Trustees and signed.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS' REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF KNIGHTON SHOW AND CARNIVAL**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Charity for the period ended 30 September 2024.
## **RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT**
The Charity's Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011.
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS' STATEMENT**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
- **(1)** accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
- **(2)** the accounts do not accord with those records; or
- **(3)** the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair' view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other maters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
