We opened and maintained the park toilets for the duration of the summer. We held our Park in the Dark Halloween event again this year. The weather held out until halfway through the evening upon when the ‘heavens opened’ and torrential rain curtailed the night. Before the turn in the weather, we were able to hold our lantern parade, best costume and best pumpkin competition. Overall, the night was a great success although our food van struggled to cope with the demand for our ‘kids eat free’ offer. We installed a new metal bench in the park with the help of Treorchy Rugby Club.

Independent Examiners report on the unaudited accounts of
IBD PASSPORT C.I.O.
I report on the accounts for the year ended 31[st] December 2022 set out on pages 6 to 8.
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 Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiners report
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 the 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. My work was conducted in accordance with the Statement of Standards for Reporting Accountants, and so my procedures consisted of comparing the accounts with the accounting records kept by the club, and making such limited enquiries of the officers of the club as I considered necessary for the purposes of this report. These procedures provide the only assurance expressed in our opinion.
Independent Examiners Statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention.
-
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 Charities Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act
-
have not been met; or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
