NUMBER 1175671 The Corn Exchange Faringdon SN7 7HL

Trustee Report
The Place Charity, which is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, was set up in 2017. Its objectives
are advancing the education of families through the provision of training and family support facilities
and groups, provision of advice and support and guidance on issues relating to childcare.
Its main activity is to fund raise for the Children's Centre located in the Corn Exchange, Faringdon.
The Charity receives grants and amounts raised by local fund raisers which it uses to fund the
Children's Centre. The Place acts also as 3 steering Board for the Town Council.
The Children's Centre operates in premises owned by Faringdon Town Council and is run by
Spurgeon's Children's Charity under a Service Level Agreement they have with the Town Council.
Oxfordshire County Council provided grants for the initial set up of the Children's Centre which were
held by the Town Council. The Place pay the difference between the running costs of the Children's
Centre and amoLJnt paid by the Town Council to Spurgeons, although in the initial year5 the amounts
paid by The Place were small with costs being covered by the County Council grant. The funding
from the Place Charity is expected to rise next year.

Report of the independent examiner to The Place
Report ork the accounts of The Plac¢ for the year ended 3151 March 2022. which are set out on page 2
attached.
Respective responsibilities of trustee and independent 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 {uiider section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the
1993 Act)) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is Eny responsibility to
Examin¢ the accounts (under $￿tion 43(3)(a) of the 1993 Act)
Follow the procedures llid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners
(under Section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act). and
State whether particular matter5 have come to my attention.
This report is made solely to the Trustees of The Place in accordance with the Charities Act 1993. My
work has been undertaken so that I might State to the Trustees those matters I am required to in an
exatniner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent pennitted by law, I do not accept or
assume responsibility to anyone other than the Trustses of The Place for my work. for this report, or for
the opinions I have formed.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Direction for Independent Examination
issued by the Charity CottTrtllissioii¢r5. An examination includes a revi¢w of th¢ a¢¢ounting records kept
by the Charity and a coJnparison of the accounts presented with those re¢ords. It also includes
consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking of explanations frotn you
as trustees concerning such matters. Tlie procedures undertaken do not provide all th¢ evidence that
would be required if a full audit was undertaken, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on
the view given by the accounts.
Examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no m&tter has come to my attention..
( l ) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance wilh Section 41 of the Act.. and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with ihe
a¢counting requirements of the Aet, have not been met; or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding
of the accounls to be reached.
