more focussed activities such as Dementia group and, from the start of lockdown in March 2020, a foodbank
facility. The work of the foodbank, initially sel up in response to Covid, has continued and expanded due to
the current cost of living crisis. The café is now a member of the Chatty Café scheme.

The Well's main sources of income are from the café and charity shop as well as grants and donations. The
shop and café income has continued to grow through 2023 and individual donors to The Well have continued
to give generously with both f inancial and food contributions. Without this SUPFX)rt and that of the LCC, Markd
Harborough Building Society and Fifty-Four Two Foundation, The Well could not continue to offer its current
level of service.

## Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Well Kibworth (C.i.o.) Charity no. 1179660
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Well Kibworth (the Trust) for the year ended 31 st December 2023.
## Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees of the Trust 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 Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and 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 Trust 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.
