INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT
I report to the charity trustees on the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, which comprise the statement of financial activities and statement of financial position and the related notes.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year and that an independent examination is needed. The charity's gross income did not exceed £250,000 and I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of The Chartered Association of Certified Accountants (ACCA).
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
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 explanations from 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 next statement.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, 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.

Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the statement of financial activities when entitlement has passed to the charity; it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the charity and the amount can be reliably measured. The following specific policies are applied to particular categories of income:
-
income from donations or grants is recognised when there is evidence of entitlement to the gift, receipt is probable and its amount can be measured reliably.
-
legacy income is recognised when receipt is probable and entitlement is established.
-
income from donated goods is measured at the fair value of the goods unless this is impractical to measure reliably, in which case the value is derived from the cost to the donor or the estimated resale value.

NOTES TO THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020
- income from contracts for the supply of services or goods is recognised with the delivery of the contracted service or goods. This is classified as unrestricted funds unless there is a contractual requirement for it to be spent on a particular purpose and returned if unspent, in which case it may be regarded as restricted.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. Expenditure includes any VAT which cannot be fully recovered, and is classified under headings of the statement of financial activities to which it relates:
-
expenditure on raising funds includes the costs of all fundraising activities, events, non-charitable trading activities, and the sale of donated goods.
-
expenditure on charitable activities includes all costs incurred by a charity in undertaking activities that further its charitable aims for the benefit of its beneficiaries, including those support costs and costs relating to the governance of the charity apportioned to charitable activities.
-
other expenditure includes all expenditure that is neither related to raising funds for the charity nor part of its expenditure on charitable activities.

13. Taxation
The charity is a registered charity and therefore is not liable to income tax or corporation tax on income derived from its charitable activities, as it falls within the various exemptions available to registered charities.
14. Related party transactions
During the year, the charity made payments to Wise Choice Property Limited and its director totalling £8,346. The director of Wise Choice Property Limited is related to the Chief Executive Officer of the charity.
During the pandemic, the director of Wise Choice Property Limited became a volunteer for the Charity owing to shortage of volunteers because of national lockdown and personal safety concerns. All this was happening at a time when demand for the Charity’s’ services increased due to the impact of the pandemic on most of the Charity’s service users.
When the lockdown started, the Charity did not have an office to use for Covid-19 African foodbank. After failing to find suitable premises, the Charity Trustees approved the use of office space belonging to Wise Choice Property Limited for the day-to-day running of the organisation. A contribution to rent of £2,185 was paid to Wise Choice Property Limited for use of its premises and facilities.
A further £5,161 was paid to the director of Wise Choice Property Limited as reimbursement for purchase of Charity laptops and African food for the weekly food bank at the time when the charity had no access to its funds due to changes in signing arrangements on the Charity bank accounts required to meet the demands of the charity. Being in a pandemic, delays in completing the process where inevitable and the Charity had to find a way of sustaining its activities and operations.
An amount of £1,000 was paid for editorial services for the 3[rd] edition of Wonderfully Made Woman magazine. Fees for the works were agreed on normal commercial terms and the person concerned took no part in the decision to use the services of Wise Choice Property Limited and its director.
