TRUSTEES REPORT FOR 2024

Introduction:

As Chair of the Board of Trustees of LIVE, I am pleased to present the Trustee’s Report for the year ending 31st December 2024. The report provides an overview of the charity's activities, achievements, and financial performance during the past year.

Overview of Activities:

During the year, LIVE, Goverdhan Institute for Vedic Education (“GIVE”), Dwipa Institute of Vedic Education (“DIVE”) have continued to make a positive impact in the communities by running our activities effectively in the UK and Bharat (India) as well as welfare activities in Sri Lanka. Our dedicated team of volunteers and staff have worked tirelessly to deliver on our mission and objectives. Our motto is to advance the Hindu faith (Sanatan Dharma) to educate and propagate Vedic knowledge to children and the community at large with excellence

Key Achievements:

We have organised regular events at the Mandir including some large ones. Full report by Sachin, who runs the Mandir with a team of dedicated volunteers, is attached. We worked in collaboration with other sansthas too and held Holi, Diwali, Rath yatra and a very enjoyable 7 day Bhagavat Katha. Ganesh dada’s murti was installed and we have plans to install four more Murtis in 2025/6. We invited many

speakers to the Mandir and also organised visits to other Mandirs and interesting places. The Mandir organised Janmastmi in Grove park for the first time ever. This was a milestone as no other organisation has done this in South London. We have attracted many other communities to the Mandir and successfully held pujas, bhajans, kirtans, satsangs and pravachans.

We have organised donations and donated food to local food banks. Our ever popular school visits continued. In 2024 Nabhinandan Das and Jayantiben visited nearly 200 schools and a large number of children came to Mandir to learn about Hinduism.

Additionally our focus in India and Sri Lanka continues. Over 300 gopis are being educated, over 30 water pumps have been installed and the plan is to install 108 in total. LIVE has raised funds to support distribution of blankets to widows and homeless in Vrindavan.

We have organised spiritual visits to Ayodhya, Chitrakut, Varanasi, Prayagraj, Gaya, Mayapur, Puskhar, Nathdwara and Vrindavan. In January 2025 a yatra to attend the Maha Kumbha Mela for the first 3 days was also organised.

Financial Performance: A summary of the charity's financial performance, including income, expenditure, and surplus are as below. Detailed financial report is included on pages 48-49. At the monthly trustees’ meeting we discuss financial performance and ensure transparency is maintained on all sources of income and how funds were allocated to support the charity's work.

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MANDIR

By Sachin Bagla, Chairman

Introduction

This report provides a short overview of the activities undertaken by the mandir throughout the past year. Our efforts have been guided by the principles of Bhakti (complete devotion), Seva (selfless service), and Vidya (lifelong learning), fostering a strong community spirit and preserving our rich cultural heritage.

The year 2024 at the Mandir was characterized by a vibrant array of cultural and spiritual activities, extensively documented through photographic records. The annual calendar commenced with the auspicious celebration of Makar Sankranti, observed with traditional reverence. The deity of Lord Ganesh, who is the transcendental son of Shiva and Parvati, was installed in 2024. Lord Ganesh, one of the most lovable personalities, is the first devata who is worshipped because he removes obstacles on our material and spiritual activities.

A significant event was the Bhagvat Saptah, a seven-day program of spiritual and philosophical discourse that consistently attracted an average daily attendance of 250 devotees. This event also featured a dedicated segment for children of the London Institute of Vedic Education (LIVE), bringing ancient narratives to life in an engaging format. The spirit of community service was prominently displayed through various charitable endeavors, including

Akshya Tritiya donations, partnerships with charitable organizations for food distribution, and the provision of hot meals and food parcels to those in need within the community. The atmosphere within the Mandir was frequently enriched by the melodious renditions of Bhajans and Kirtans, with numerous sessions held, featuring both visiting bhajan ensembles from India and local groups from across the United Kingdom.

The symbolic ritual of Holika Dahan, representing the triumph over evil, preceded the joyful Holi festival. Later in the year, the Govardhan Puja facilitated a communal gathering, inviting all to participate in the Annakut offerings. The visual documentation comprehensively encapsulates a year marked by unwavering faith, strong community bonds, and adherence to tradition at the Mandir.

Major Collaborations

The Mandir actively collaborated with various Sanatan organizations throughout the year, fostering unity among Hindu communities. These partnerships included Sanatan Kutumb, SHCS, Sanskriti, and BGSM, among others.

The Ramayana dramas in particular were very popular; giving children the opportunity to dress up in the provided costumes and perform a role play of the main characters of Ramayana, including Lord Rama, Sitadevi and Hanuman. In the Spring term, we mainly presented our wonderful and colourful Holi festival demonstrating the fun aspect of religion, which also has important life lessons to learn from. Sharing our tradition with others in this way always proves to be a very meaningful and fulfilling experience.

Some of the kind feedback we have received from the schools are as follows:

Dear Nabhi,

On behalf of us all here at Crofton Junior and Infants, please accept our heartfelt thanks for your visit and the amazing assemblies that you shared with our children. They were engaging and thought-provoking and thoroughly enjoyed by all who saw them!

All the best Rachel Jones Crofton schools 23rd March

Hi Nabhi,

Thank you so much again for such a wonderful talk/presentation for our Year 1 children. We absolutely loved it! The children have learned a lot and they keep asking questions about Hinduism ever since.

I hope to see you again next year. Best wishes, Mrs Galina Agarwal Thomson House School 17th March Hi Nabhi,

I hope you are well. I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for the Holi assemblies yesterday. The boys and staff thoroughly enjoyed learning more about the story behind Holi and why we celebrate it. We also loved the colour demonstration at the end! We shared lots of the photos from yesterday in our whole school assembly today and the boys/staff definitely will remember your assemblies!

I would love to get in touch with you in future for whole school assemblies relating to Hindu festivals.

Thank you again! Mrs Bernadette Johnson Homefield School 14th March

The Mandir is open to welcome schools from the local area to come and visit. In 2024 eighteen schools visited the Mandir and were shown a presentation on Sanatana Dharma, which included the following:

Each child is also offered prasad (a blessed piece of fruit) which is always kindly donated by members of the community.

Aspirations for 2025 Online seminars:

Case study of a wonderful boy, Riyansh

During the covid lockdown which began in March 2020, LIVE started zoom sessions on Sanatan Dharma.

At that time a young boy named Riyansh,from Hyderabad, Bharat, aged 7, together with his mother, Swaathi, began to join the classes. We were teaching Bhagavad Gita and other scriptures. Riyansh started participating with great enthusiasm and began to learn verses from the bhagvad Gita.

Even after the end of the lockdown and to this very day, he is continuing to join the online sessions and has learnt many chapters of the Bhagavad Gita by heart. So everyday, before we start the online sessions, he joins every time and recites either chapter 2, 7, 12, 15 ets, which he has learnt by heart. In addition to this he also knows many of the various prayers that we recite and he has memorised many Bhajans, some of which are very long and complex such as the Jaganathastakam.

His enthusiasm, together with the wonderful encouragement given by his mother, has been inspiring to all of us and we pray to the Lord that he is able to continue in this spirit and in due course of time will be able to spread Sanatan Dharma widely.

GIVE 2024 ANNUAL REPORT

by Trikalajna Das

What is Goverdhan Institute for Vedic Education (“GIVE”)?

The GIVE Trust aims to serve the Brajwasis(“residents of Vrindavan”) in all possible ways and to address the various issues faced by the Brajwasis. Serving Brajwasis is non-different from serving Radha and Krishna. In collaboration with the London Institute of Vedic Education, GIVE’s objectives and aspiration are as follows:

Sponsoring Gopis (Brajwasi girls)

In 2024 GIVE has sponsored some 307 Brajwasi girls (“gopis”) across Braj (which includes schools in Vrindavan, Barsana, Govardhan and Chatikara . We also have 7 students who are attending either college or University). Our main focus is to educate the students up to high school graduation.

Since we started this program in 2021 we have had a total approximately 400 students who have been supported by GIVE

We also provide basic food items and medical help to the poor Gopi families to ensure that their basic needs are met and the gopis are not prematurely married (or made to work for basic needs) so that they get at least the basic minimum education (both material as well as spiritual). GIVE provides 2 sets of school clothes and school books.

GIVE uses a detailed student selection process to ensure that the gopis that require the most help get the assistance, and also monitors the progress of students through meetings with parents, school teachers, principals on a regular basis.

Puja is one such student who lost both her parents in an accident. She is only 17 and has two brothers who are only 10 years old and 14 years old. She manages the household by herself. GIVE provides the fees as well as food, clothing and medical help for all three children. Our counsellor is also regularly in touch with her to keep guiding her in this time of challenges.

GIVE ensures that schools wherein the gopis are sponsored have the opportunity to embrace spirituality. In every school the assembly starts with chanting of the Maha Mantra. The teachers are coached to teach from books provided by us. These books include Bhagavad Gita, Nectar of Instruction, Nectar of Devotion, Science of Self Realisation, Krishna book and Chant and be Happy.

26

Aspirations for 2025:

Installation of Water Pumps and Forest Restoration

There is dire need of water in more then 500 villages of Braj as well as the Braja Mandal Parikrama. Millions of pilgrims visit the holy land of Braj which falls in the state of Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. Presently we are focusing on the 84 kos Braja Mandal Parikrama . We have installed 33 hand water pumps and we have a target to install 108 hand water pumps which will benefit the pilgrims as well as the villagers and the animals.

To date GIVE has installed 103 hand pumps (70 water pumps installed in the villages in the previous years and 33 pumps on the parikrama marg in 2024 and planted more than 3000 trees in Sudevi sakhi dham, Champaklata sakhi dham , Vrindavan dham, and where necessary, in schools and colonies.

Aspirations for 2025:

27

Braj; if there are no pokhers or wells, we plan to build at least 4 pokhers and 4 wells in each village to ensure rain water utilization and to solve the problem of water of the villages.

Supporting Small Gaushalas (cowsheds)

Based on our experience, we understand that in small gaushalas (with not more than 10 cows) the cows are cared for in much better conditions as compared to big gaushalas having thousands of cows. GIVE provides feed and medical needs for these underprivileged goshallas. A network of Doctors are available as and when needed.

Aspirations for 2025:

Adopted cows

Donors also have the opportunity to donate Pure Breed Desi cows to the local poor Brajabasis or to the Goshala’s run by the poor Brajabasis or to the Brahmins of Braja with respect to their ancestral scriptural guidance.

GIVE provides the opportunity to donate a cow out of one’s love for cows. Purebred Desi Cows can cost from INR 70000 (approximately £700) onwards depending on the age and health of the cows.

Aspirations for 2025:

28

Ration and Food Distribution

Due to extreme poor financial conditions and many family members, some villagers find it difficult to feed their children a healthy and nutritious diet. In order to assist GIVE:

You are welcome to participate in these activities by contributing financially on special occasions or personally when you come to Vrindavan.

29

Aspirations for 2025:

Restoration of Ancient Temples/Places of Worship in Braj

GIVE’s first project of renovation of Tulsi Das Bhajan Kutir was successfully completed and we now hold regular preaching programs there.

GIVE has also provided water facilities in Braj Mohan Temple of Narottama Das Thakur in Gyangudri, Vrindavan. GIVE has also renovated Uddhava Temple at Kusum Sarovar the Narasimha Temple in Govardhan at Puchari ka Lota.

With the blessings of saints of Vrindavan like Vinod Baba, Ramesh Baba, Balarama Baba, Padmanabh Goswamiji, Achyutalal Bhattaji and many others. GIVE has formed an international research team to restore the historical spiritual places in Braj. Presently, the team is working on establishing places of pastimes of Lord Chaitanya in Braj. We are also looking into

the hidden treasures of Braja. There are many places where Lord Krishna performed pastimes but are not highlighted.

Aspirations for 2025:

Distribution of Blankets and Medical Assistance

GIVE has distributed around 8500 blankets over the 3 years to the poor in the Braj region. In 2024, with the help of kind sponsors, GIVE distributed over 3,000 blankets.

Due to lack of medical facilities in villages, GIVE distributes First Aid kits as well as sponsoring medical operations/ treatments of poor brajwasis/ sadhus. For example:

BHARAT YATRA

by Ragukul & Premika

It was our first time outside of South Africa and it was a yatra (spiritual journey) to Bharat. The yatra was amazing, mesmerising, emotional, and exponentially blissful.

Ayodhya

Our Yatra started in Ayodhya (flying in to the new airport).

We had the opportunity to take darshan of the exquisite Ram mandir and the Ram Lalla murti (a few times). We had memorable moments at Dashrath Mahal,

Hanuman garhi, Sita rasoi, Suryakund, Kanak Bhavan, a celestial palace gifted to Sitadevi by Kaikey ma. We bathed at Gupta Ghat in the Saryu River, observing the Arati there.

Chitrakoot

Our stay was at Ram Ghat on the banks of the Mandakini, where we bathed and also took a boat ride. We visited Hanuman Dhara in Chitrakoot. It's a soothing place for the soul. We visited Sati Anusuyadevi ashram, Gupta Godavari Mandir where Ganga flows washing the market streets.

Prayagraj

----- Start of picture text -----
Prayag is known for the Triveni Sangam,
the meeting of Ganga, Yamuna and the
mystical Sarawati. Due to too much
rain we were unable to go to the actual
sangam (where the 3 rivers meet), but
still managed to have a snan (bath) in the
Ganga.
----- End of picture text -----

32

Varanasi/Benares

A city of splendour and colour where desires are fulfilled. A city with the most famous of Shivlings, the Kashi Vishwanath Mandir, and one of the main 12 Jyotirlings. Thousands of pilgrims come to this city daily. The evening Ganga arti is magical. There are 18 ghats along the Ganga at Varanasi and they can be visited in a boat.

Gaya

We performed the pindaan ceremony for our ancestors at the Vishnupada mandir, where there is also a very ancient tree going back to Rama’s time. Our visit also included the temple in Bodh Gaya, a very important tirth for the Buddhists and the place of the Bodh tree where Gautam Buddha sat under.

Mayapur

Mayapur is the transcendental birth place of Lord Gauranga (Chaitanya). An important city that has shaped the whole world with spiritual knowledge. The ISKCON complex with upcoming TOVP building is most iconic in the area. Deities

are so large and beautiful in Mayapur. You can take darshan to your heart's content. We especially enjoyed darshan of Sri Sri Radha Madhav with the eight gopis.

Jaipur

Jaipur ,known as the pink city, is the home of Sri Radha Krishna(Govind), the original deities from Vrindavan. There are many other temples in Jaipur with the murtis brought from Vrindavan due to the Mogul invasion of Vrindavan. We enjoyed the most soul stirring kirtan in Jaipur.

Pushkar

This place is famous for the only temple in the world for Lord Brahma which is located on the banks of a beautiful lake known as Pushkar Lake.

33

Nathdwara

This city has the famous temple of Lord Krishna as Srinathji with his left hand up as if holding Goverdhan Hill. It is said that Srinathji was brought to Nathdwara from Goverdhan.

Udaipur

We visited the beautiful Jagdish mandir in Udaipur. The city is known for the Lake Palace and it has many beautiful lakes

Vrindavan

Words can't explain or express Vrindavan. There is a spiritual joy and beauty in this place. There are so many places linked to Lord Krishna in Vrindavan and some of them that we visited are :

Shri Banke Bihari mandir: A colourful mandir known for granting wishes. A striking deity of Sri Krishna .

Sri Krishna Balaram mandir: It's one of our most favourite Mandirs. This ISKCON Mandir feels so joyful. The transcendental Yamuna flows through this beautiful town. The spiritual joy this place offers is a great blessing. Vrindavan has so many temples that you can spend a few days just visiting them.

Barsana: Situated high on top of a hill, this Mandir is one of the most magnificent Mandirs. Radharani spent Her youth in this palace.

Goverdhan: We were blessed to do the 21 km parikam of Goverdhan by foot. It took us nearly 7 hours but it was well worth it. We ended up in the most blissful Radhakund and a snan in Radhakund and Shyamkund took all our tiredness away. This was the highlight of the yatra and it was beyond our dreams.

We enjoyed every bit of the Bharat Yatra.

35

It gives me a great pleasure to write about my recent 2 week yatra to Bharat with the focus on the pilgrimage the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj which happened after 144 years.

Mayapur

With our fellow pilgrims our first stop was a visit to Mayapur. I was fascinated as I never imagined in my life that I would ever visit Mayapur. In the next 3 days that we were there we visited a Goshala housing several hundred cows, (where all the cows had regular health checkups and their products have been used in the Goshala and outside), Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s birthplace, Goverdhan Parvat, Radha Kund, Shyam Kund (I thought these places can only to be seen in Vrindavan), Srinivas Angan, a Ganga boat ride (I did not know that I will be able to do that in Mayapur because I had never imagined Ganga goes that far), Godrum

Dvip and Nrsimha Pali. In Mayapur a huge temple complex is being developed with a planetarium.

36

Ganga Sagar

After a short stay at Kolkata (where we visited Dakshineshwar temple and Kali Ghat Mandir) we headed for Ganga Sagar, where Ganga reaches Her final destination flowing into the Bay of Bengal. Ganga Sagar was very pleasant with the forthcoming event of Makar Sankranti and Ganga Sagar Mela to happen in a few days time. We did a puja for the ancestors on the shore of Ganga Sagar and also had a dip in Ganga Sagar and visited Kapil Muni’s Ashram.

Jaganath Puri

Next stop was Jaganath Puri where we visited the Jaganath Temple and its Complex and we had the famous Jaganath Prasad. Other places we visited in Puri were Nrshima Temple, Siddha Bakul and Tota Gopinath Temple. The next day we visited Konark, the Sun Temple, following which we left for Bhubaneswar and visited Ling Raj Mandir and the ISKCON Temple.

Ayodhya

After Puri, we flew to Ayodhya and visited the Ram Mandir. I had visited Ayodhya before and this new Mandir complex was built recently and it gave me great pleasure to see all the development and all the improvements going on. The next day we visited Hanuman Garhi , Kanak Bhavan, Sita Rasoi, Saryu Ghat and the Lata Mangeshwar Chok displaying a huge Vina. As this was the one year anniversary of the Mandir inauguration a special procession was going on conducted by RSS members and the atmosphere was electric. The next day we visited Gupt Ghat temple which is where Bhagwan Ram took Jal Samadhi and in that Temple Bhagwan Ram and Laxman, are without their bow and arrow.

Prayajraj (for the Maha Kumbh Mela)

The highlight of our yatra. We were planning to be in Prayagraj on the 13th January, a day before Makar Sankranti, which was the first main day for amrit snan (bathing) for the Maha Kumbh Mela. Our plan was to arrive at the hotel by

37

1:30 pm. But because of a 10km barricade around the sangam we had to leave the Minibus in a designated car park from where police arranged for us to go in an electric bus and then 2 rickshaws before reaching the hotel around 4pm. The hotel had sent a couple of assistants to help us get to the hotel.

We decided to make our way to the sangam for a snan. Originally we went to a ghat to take a boat but police had stopped all boats after 5pm so we all started to walk the 9km route to the sangam. The whole route was organised so well with guidance from the hundreds of police. There were thousands of yatris at the sangam, some sleeping for an early morning snan the next day. We all had such a divine snan and then headed back to the hotel walking again the 9km arriving at the hotel at 11.30pm. Everyone was walking on cloud 9 due to having been blessed to have had a snan.

Next day we headed to the nearby boat club to take a boat to the sangam. This was a lot easier after our endeavour the previous day. The boat ride was so pleasant and we were able to spend a long time bathing in the sangam. This was the best time of my life. Our evening was spent watching a laser show, the best way to end a perfect day. Our final day was spent visiting the camps (akharas) of various sadhus. The camps covered a 32km area.

This trip was truly memorable and has made me more spiritual and so grateful to God for allowing me such an opportunity. I would like to thank Nabhi and Jayanti. They looked after us very well. All I can say is I feel this journey has completely given me new spiritual energy.

CROYDON FOOD DISTRIBUTION SEVA 2024 (Seva is the Sanskrit word for ‘selfless service’)

By Janaki Mehta

It is always an honour to say we have completed another successful year of serving vegetarian Prasad (food) to those in need. During the period of 2024, I am particularly proud to say that we managed to serve food every single month, without any interruption. In previous years, we have sometimes had some gaps in our seva due to hectic schedules however I often felt that this seva should flow as smoothly as possible and without breaks. This is only possible because of our volunteer team who are so committed and everyone has been able to support one another. When someone is not free, there are always a number of people who offer to help. For example, I was busy for several months last year and could

not attend the seva, however there were always volunteers who assured me that they would manage everything and that I had nothing to worry about. Another example is that we had two incidents when we nearly had to cancel a particular seva due to unforeseen circumstances however there were always new cooks and volunteers who offered to help and ensure that the seva does not stop. On one occasion though we could not manage a main meal, we still attended the seva and donated a large number of snacks. I think the lesson of 2024 has been ‘whatever happens, just carry on!’ I truly believe that something is better than nothing. Though we sometimes cannot manage an elaborate menu, showing up is

42

still important and we should endeavour to show up each month in some way or another for those in need.

I truly believe that this seva has been given to me by God and I feel deeply grateful for the chance to organise this monthly seva. No doubt sometimes the seva can feel overwhelming and demanding with life’s other responsibilities however I always remind myself that seva is only given to us by the blessings of God. Seva means ‘selfless service’ and it is the greatest gift and opportunity one can receive. At the end of each seva session I feel truly happy. This is because as per Sanatan Dharma, it is the soul’s nature to do seva and therefore one feels happiest when selflessly helping others. Whenever we see an opportunity for seva we need to grasp it like we would do any other benediction or boon and never let it go. While at the moment of death it is said we will leave everything behind, the one thing as per the Vedic tradition which will travel with us is our seva and good karma and therefore we need to try and do as much seva as possible.

We now serve meals to those in need one Friday each month. We have had so much positive feedback from the Nightwatch Croydon Team whom we collaborate with to organise the distributions. We also have had a lot of positive feedback from the clients who have eaten our food. On Kartik Poornima, we even lit candles with the clients of the seva and it was very special to share our festival with them. We also encourage volunteers to offer their food donations

to God first so that everyone can receive prasad and the blessings of God.

With this, I invite each person to experience the bliss of serving food to others with our monthly seva. You can volunteer by:

The one thing I love about this seva is that it is ‘cashless’ and no one is asked or expected to donate money – it is purely a food based seva. Food is so central to Vedic and Indian tradition that I wanted this one seva to be separate from the traditional fundraising and money based charitable activities. I wanted to organise a seva which goes right back to our roots of cooking and sharing food.

UPLIFTING COMMUNITIES IN NORTHERN SRI LANKA

by Selvan

In 2024 our charity made significant strides in serving the people of Northern Sri Lanka. With a focus on compassion, community resilience, and long-term development, we delivered aid during times of crisis and laid foundations for a brighter future. These projects were made possible through the unwavering support of our donors, volunteers, and local partners.

Emergency Flood Relief – Supporting Families in Crisis

In mid-2024, severe flooding devastated parts of the Northern Province, leaving many rural families without essentials. - We delivered food, clean water, and groceries to over 800 families across multiple affected villages. - Our local volunteer teams ensured swift distribution, even in remote areas.

Weekly Bhagavad Gita Classes and Sunday Prasad Programs

We supported weekly online Bhagavad Gita reading classes, offering spiritual nourishment and regular engagement for local devotees. - On Sundays, prasad (sanctified meals) was provided to attendees of village programs, reinforcing community bonds and tradition.

Education Support –

Afternoon School Building Extension

We extended the afternoon school building in one village, creating a shaded outdoor space. - Now, around 60 children can attend daily lessons in a more comfortable, structured environment.

Local Farm Project and Goshala Construction

We launched a local farm project with 7 cows to encourage sustainable agriculture

46

and dairy production. - Construction began on a goshala (cow shelter), providing a protected space for the animals and supporting traditional, ethical farming.

Women’s Empowerment Day – Poonakary, Summer 2024

Organised in late summer 2024, this special event brought together around 40 girls and women for a day of education and empowerment. A local midwife delivered a health-focused lecture on women’s well-being. Sanitary products were distributed to girls and women in need, addressing a crucial but often neglected issue. The event was proudly funded via GoFundMe by Hareny Nithiyananthan, with a total budget of £300.

Community and Volunteer Engagement

Our work was powered by over 100 volunteers, both local and international. - Community events, ongoing collaboration, and local leadership played a central role in delivering and sustaining all initiatives.

Looking Ahead – Our Vision for 2025

Thank You To every donor, volunteer, and supporter - thank you for walking this path with us. Your support uplifts entire communities and plants seeds of change for generations to come. We look forward to another year of shared purpose and meaningful impact.

ACCOUNTANTS REPORT

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011, and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

My examination was conducted in accordance with 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 the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, 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 to the right.

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 41 of the 1993 Act; and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 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.
