The Report of the Trustees for the Period ended 31 March 2025
Statement Of Trustee's Responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). The trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of the resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period.
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements.
