INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO THE TRUSTEES OF ST JOHN'S DEAF COMMUNITY CENTRE

I report on the financial statements for the year ended 04 May 2025 set out on pages 4 - 10.

This report is made solely to the Trustees of St John's Deaf Community Centre, as a body, in accordance with regulations made under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 and Charity SORP . My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Trustees 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 Charity's trustees for my independent examination work, for this report, or for the statement I have given below.

Respective responsibilities of Trustees and independent examiner

As charity trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of the company law) and for the purposes of charity law, are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements, in accordance with requirements of the companies Act 2006 ("the 2006 Act"), the Trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charites Act 2011 (the Act) and under Part 16 of the 2006 Act, and that an independent examination is needed.

I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out:-

b) follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and

Basis of independent examiner's statement

Since the Charity's gross income does not exceed £250,000, your examiner must be a full member of Association of Charity Independent Examiners. I confirm that I am a full member of the Association of Charity Independent Examiners and qualified to examine the Accounts.

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 reports limited to those matters set out in the statement on the next page.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 04 MAY 2025

1. Accounting Policies

Basis of Preparation.

These accounts have been prepared on an accrual basis and include income and expenditure as they are earned or incurred, rather than as cash received or paid. Reference to the "Charities SORP" refers to the Charites SORP (FRS 102): Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. 2nd edition effective 1 January 2019, and in accordance with the Companies Act 2006.

1a. Income

All income is recgnised once the Charity has entitllement to the income, it is probable that the income will be received, and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.

Grants are included in the Statement of financial activities on a receivable basis. The balance of income received for specific purposes but not explended during the period is shown in the relevant funds on the Balance Sheet. Where income is received in advance of entitlement of receipt, its recognition is deferred and included in creditors as deferred income. Where entitlement occurs before income is received, the income is accrued.

Income tax recoverable in relation to donations received under Gift Aid or deeds of covenant is recognised at the time of the donation.

Income tax recoverable in relation to investment income is recognised at the time the investment income is receivable.

1b. Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised once there is a legal or consrtructive obligation to transfer ecenomic benefit to a third party, it is possible that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

Expenditure on charitable activities is incurred on directly undertaking the activities which further the Charity's objectives, as well as any associated support costs.

All expenditure is inclusive of irrecoverable VAT.

1c. Government grants

Government grants are credited to the Statement of financial activities as the related expenditure is incurred.

1d. Fund accounting

Unrestricted Funds are receivable or generated for the objects of the charity without further specified purpose and are available as general funds. Restricted Funds are subjected to restrictions on their expenditure imposed by the donor. Designated Funds are unrestricted funds but earmarked by the trustees for particular purposes.

1e. Pension costs and Other post-retirement benefits

The charitable company ioerates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the charitable company's pensions scheme are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities in the period to which they relate.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 04 MAY 2025

1e. Taxation

The Charity is considered to pass the tests set out in Paragraph 1 Schedule 6 of trhe Finance Act 2010 and therefore it meets the definition of a charitable company for UK corporation tax purposes. Accordingly, the Charity is potentially exempt from taxation in respect of income or capital gains received within categories covered by Chapter 3 Part 11 of the Corporation Tax Act 2010 or Section 256 of the Taxation of Chargeable Gains Act 1992, to the exztent that such income or gains are applied exclusively to charitable purposes.

1f. Debtors

Trade and other debtors are rcognised at the settlement amount. Prepayments are valued at amount prepaid.

1g. Cash at bank and in hand

Cash at bank and in hand includes cash and short-term highly liquid investments with a short matuity of three months or less from the date of acquisition or openinig of the deposit or similar account.

1h. Liabilities and provisions

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.

Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Charity anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the amount it has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.

Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value of those amounts, discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Statement of financial activities as a finance cost.

1i. Financial Instruments

The Charity only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial instruments. Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction value and subsequently measured at their settlement value with the excception of bank loans which are susequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

1j. Critical accounting estimates and areas of judgement

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Charity does not currently have any significant accounting estimates or areas of judgement.

1k. Tangible Fixed Assets

Equipment and other tangible fixed assets are capitalised when the cost is £1,000 or more

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each assst over its estimated useful life.

Plant and machinery - straight line over 3 years Fixtures and fittings - straight line over 3 years Furniture and Equipment - straight line over 3years
