## **ST EDWARDS DEVELOPMENT PROJECT** 

## **TRUSTEES' REPORT** 

## **FOR THE PERIOD TO 31ST MARCH 2022** 

The trustees present their report and accounts for the period to 31st March 2022. 

The accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out in note 1 to the accounts and comply with the charity's trust deed, the Charities Act 2011 and Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (as amended for accounting periods commencing from 1 January 2016). 

## **Objectives and activities** 

The charity was set up to relieve the needs of the community in Mottingham by; 

1) The relief of financial hardship, in particular but not exclusively by the provision of advice and information; 

2) The preservation and protection of good physical and mental health; 

3) The advancement of education and training of those in the community who are in need thereof so as to advance them in life and assist them to adapt within the wider community; 

4) The provision of facilities for recreation or other leisure-time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life of those persons who have need of such facilities by reason of their youth, age, infirmity or disablement, financial hardship or social and economic circumstances. 

The charity was established by a charitable trust deed on 15th February 2019 and registered with the Charity Commission on 15th February 2019. 

The trustees have paid due regard to guidance issued by the Charity Commission in deciding what activities the charity should undertake. 

## **Achievements and performance Financial review** 

During the period the charity received grants of £37,390 other income of £7,359 and investment income of £0. 

The charity incurred expenditure totaling £54,066. 

It is the policy of the charity that unrestricted reserves should be maintained at a level that will allow the charity to operate for 3 months. 

The trustees are of the view that given the size of the funds available and the desire to avoid any risks, that any surplus funds will be invested in cash deposits to maximise the interest receivable by the charity. 

The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to those risks.

## **ST EDWARDS DEVELOPMENT PROJECT** 

**INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES ON THE PREPARATION OF THE STATUTORY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF ST EDWARDS DEVELOPMENT PROJECT FOR THE PERIOD to 31st MARCH 2022** 

In order to assist you to fulfill your duties under the Charities Act 2011, we have prepared for your approval the financial statements of St Edwards Development Project for the period to 31st March 2021, set out on pages 7 to 11 from the charity's accounting records and from supporting information and explanations available. 

It is the Trustees duty to ensure that St Edwards Development Project has kept adequate accounting records and to prepare statutory financial statements that give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and surplus/deficit of St Edwards Development Project. Trustees consider that St Edwards Development Project is exempt from the statutory audit requirement for the period and is only required to obtain an independent examiner's report. 

## **Independent Examiners Statement** 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts (under section 145 of the Act) 

- follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act; and 

- state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the organization and a comparison of the accounts presented within 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 

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: 

- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act; and 

- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 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. 



I have not been instructed to carry out an audit or a review of the financial statements of St Edwards Development Project. For this reason, I have not verified the accuracy or completeness of the accounting records or information and explanations you have given to me and I do not, therefore, express any opinion on the statutory financial statements.

The charity is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102. 

The financial statements have departed from the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 only to the extent required to provide a true and fair view.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. 

## 1.2 **Going concern**

existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the trustees continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
