the charity’s work has made
to the circumstances of its

we have worked with 51 prison leavers

remain in the community, as opposed to
returning to custody, for periods more

society. Individual clients have been
supported to address substance misuse,
mental and physical ill health, restoration
of family relationships and involvement
with volunteering / positive activities.
We have 18 active mentors having
recruited 11 new mentors in the year. We
have also trained other professionals and
volunteers from external organisations,
equipping them to work more effectively
with prison leavers in a wide range of
settings.
Volunteer mentors have accompanied
clients to healthcare, legal and
probation meetings, advocating on their
behalf and providing pastoral support.
Volunteer mentors have encouraged
clients to participate in voluntary activities
in the local community.
Mentors have provided clients with
information and access to specialist
services regarding financial matters and
accommodation.

## **Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Community Chaplaincy Norfolk**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31 July 2025.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity’s trustees 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 charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 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 charity 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.
This report is made solely to the charity’s trustees, as a body, in accordance with Part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the charity’s trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the charity and the charity’s trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.
