## **Objectives and activities**
## **The charity's objects**
To relieve the needs of young people aged 11 - 25, who live in the Bradford district and have an autistic spectrum condition or are in the process of having an assessment of their condition without a formal diagnosis, their families and carers, in particular but not exclusively by the provision of social opportunities, the continued development of their individual capabilities, competencies, skills and understanding to promote independence and well-being.
## **The charity's main activities**
Wrose Adventurers exists to relieve stress and advance to education, social and mental wellbeing of young people with autism (and related conditions) and their families and carers. The group's aims are twofold:
To provide a safe, friendly setting that young people with high functioning autism living in the Bradford Metropolitan District can attend, outside of their home, in order to make friends and take part in activities that they would not normally have access to.
To provide short breaks from caring, for the parents and carers of young people with autism living in the Bradford District.
## **Public benefit statement**
In setting our objectives and planning our activities our Trustees have given serious consideration to the Charity Commission’s general guidance on public benefit and in particular to relieve the needs of young people aged 11 to 25, who live in the Bradford district and surrounding areas and have an autistic spectrum condition.
## **Achievements and performance**
During 2020-21 all group sessions were suspended due to Covid restrictions. When restrictions are lifted the group intend to deliver a weekly social club session on Wednesday evenings, at Highcroft Youth Centre in Wrose. Our members mainly come from across the Bradford District to attend. The group previously operated for 44 out of 52 weeks in the financial year, with the support of additional funding for extra activities such as bowling, meals out, bingo nights, and cookery lessons.
## **Financial review**
The net receipts for the year were £1,430, all relating to unrestricted funds.
## **Reserves policy**
The charity's free reserves at the year end were £20,142.
The charity have agreed that the reserves should equate to a minimum of 3 months and maximum of 3 years running costs based on the previous year's expenditure.
The policy is to be reviewed every 3 years. The actual level of reserves is to be reviewed each year by the trustees at the time of the AGM to ensure it is on target

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of Wrose Adventurers CIO Charitable Incorporated Organisation ('the CIO')
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the CIO for the year ended 31 March 2021, which are set out on pages 5 to 8.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the CIO you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the CIO's accounts as carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act. In carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the CIO as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2 the accounts do not accord with those records.
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.
