Bradford Community Kitchen Independent examiner's report To the trustees of Bradford Community Kitchen

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 March 2025 which are set out on pages 4 to 6.

Respective responsibilities of the trustees and the examiner

The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. They consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to examine the accounts under section 43 (2) of the 1993 Act, follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 43 (7) (b) of the Act) and 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 explainations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedure 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:-

1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
a) to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act;
b) and to prepare accounts which accord with accounting records and comply with the accounting i f
the 1993 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.
