We also<br>held 4 song writing sessions.<br>We held 6 media and production<br>workshops and 4 creative production<br>sessions to empower creative within our<br>community with valuable skills for work and<br>leisure.<br>In March 2023 we organised a camp<br>meeting for all our participants which gave<br>opportunity for team bonding, friendships,<br>collaborations, creative expressions, and<br>organisational development.<br>Also, in March 2023 we had a musical<br>showcase for our Welsh singing project<br>Welsh singing project “Swn Llwythol”<br>funded by Art Council Wales. Swn Llwythol<br>is a social initiative to integrate<br>communities, embrace cultures and<br>preserve heritage through a blend of Welsh<br>choral singing fused with African rhythms<br>and sounds.<br>We also organised and facilitated 4 worship<br>events within and around Cardiff in this<br>period.

It also<br>gave us the opportunity to share our<br>projects and songs with new audiences.<br>We also held bi-monthly health and<br>wellbeing singing workshops as part a<br>health and wellbeing project Jamii 2 by<br>SSAP which we signed-up to partner with.<br>Our role in this project is to use music as a<br>tool to support people’s mental health &<br>wellbeing within the community.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF SOEL CONNECT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2023.** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of SOEL Connect (the Trust) for the year ended 30 September 2023. 

## **Responsibilities as the Charity Trustees of the Trust** 

You are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). 

## **Basis of Independent Examiner’s report** 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. 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 Examiner’s Statement** 

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material 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 Trust 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 matters 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.
