Due to the nature of our primary activities, this saw all events for the year under review cancelled due to national restrictions in place for the safety of the public. Despite these challenges we are delighted that Sparks Cardiff Charitable Trust has continued to generate revenues for the support of good causes within our community. In allowing us to do this, we are grateful for the support of Welsh Government through the Economic Resilience Fund and the following organisations who supported our hugely successful 12 Days of Christmas project: - The Llandaff Clinic - Boxagogo Limited - Vital Financial Planning - AMPM Associates LLP - Planet 3 Wealth - Active Quote - Sort Legal - Vertro recruitment - Cerrig Limited - Pegmist - Ask My Architect and HSJ Accountants. The funding we have generated through these sources have enabled us to support the following organisations: - Llamau; - Wild Thing Café - Rainbow of Hope - Cardiff Food Bank - Ty Krishna – Food for Life Project - Moorland Star - Al Ikhlas Centre – Lidl Tackle Hunger - Rowen House The core focus of our funding efforts during the year under review have been to support and assist organisations seeking to tackle food poverty during the pandemic. We hope to return to some level of normal activity in the forthcoming year and are currently planning for the safe return of Sparks in the Park, our annual Santa run and new events such as a charity duck race for summer 2021. 3 **SPARKS CARDIFF CHARITABLE TRUST YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021** ## **TRUSTEES’ ANNUAL REPORT (cont.)** ## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** The charity has reported revenues for the year of £6,434 (2020: £59,194) against which we have made expenditure of £4,675 (2020: £98,259).

The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act. - to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act: and - to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT** 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 report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. ## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT** In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention, other than that disclosed below: - (1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements: - (a) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 144 of the Act; and - (b) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply - with the accounting requirements of the Act have not been met; or - (2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. ## **Leanne Owen FCCA** Severn House Hazell Drive Newport NP10 8FY Date: 16[th] April 2021 7
