We have also successfully introduced a New Zero Kitchen on a Friday, 

this allows a team of volunteers from Net Zero, to use the kitchen.  They are responsible for making contact with local supermarkets, collecting food coming to the end of its sell by date, and producing a meal for the local community on a Friday night, This has attract over 36 people a 

week to come and enjoy a meal together.

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF CLOPTON COMMUNITY ACTION GROUP FOR THE YEAR ENDED 5TH MAY 2024** 

I report to the trustees on my examination of the financial statements of Clopton Community Action Group (‘the charity’) for the year ended 5th May 2024. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the trustees of the company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 ('the 2006 Act’). 

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act. 

## **Independent examiner's 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: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or 

2. the financial statements do not accord with those records; or 

3. the financial statements do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act 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; or 

4. the financial statements have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102). 

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.
