Intention to appoint an additional Trustee. However, since the charity's
operations are very lirnited. and since 100DA of the charity's donations in
2024 were on a restricted basis (i.e. to be used to support Breathe Arts
Health Research CIC), the Trustees have de¢ided that such an
appointment is not currently appropriate. They will, however, keep this
point under review.

Section E
Financial review
The charfty is run on an entirely voluntary basls and has no
significant flxed costs or other ftnancial commltments. Historicallyi
its biggest costs have related to two areas:
(l) Supporting Its web site, notably for retainlng Its domain name,
as well as occasional upgrade work. In the five financial years to
2025 Such spending has typically been ca. £300 per annum, rising
to just over £l.000 in 2023 when the web site was refreshed.
{2) In recent years the charity has had to pay upfront fundralslng
fees, e.g. for Action Challenge, rdnging from ca. £550 in 2024 to
ca. £250 in 2025.
On this basls, the charity's financial commitments in any one year
are unlikely to ex￿ed £2,000. Reflethng thls level of historic
spending, and with the aim of malntaining some flnancial flexlbillty
without tying up funds unnecessarilyi the Trustees have
detennined that £5,000 would be an appropriate level of reserves.
This figure is reviewed at least annually.

**Independent examiner's report on the accounts** 


## **Section A                        Independent Examiner’s Report** 

**Report to the trustees/** Charity Name Friends of Breathe Arts Health Research **members of On accounts for the year** 31[st] December 2025 **Charity no** 1176678 **ended (if any) Set out on pages** 1-2 (remember  to include the page numbers of additional sheets) 

**Respective** The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. **responsibilities of** The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year **trustees and examiner** 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** My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given **examiner’s statement** 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. 

**Independent** In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my **examiner's statement** attention (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act or 

- the accounts do not accord with the accounting records 

I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. 

* _Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply._
