Martial Arts Community Trust

Charity No:1184208 Unit A, Daneshill Central

Armstrong Road Basingstoke Hampshire RG24 8NU

Objects of the Charity

The promotion of community participation in healthy recreation in particular by the provision of facilities and services for the teaching of martial arts. The charity has achieved this by providing facilities and services to the local community.

The trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit and are committed to adhering to the guidance.

Achievements and Performance

Although the Charity has achieved a lot this year, we have been restricted by the various lockdowns and social distancing protocols in terms of what we have been able to do. However we have continued to support a number of individuals, organisations and schools to allow them to experience Martial Arts training or to support them in their training. We ran a number of free events including a ladies self defence course, a number of community events including ‘stress free Saturday’ and a number of fundraising social events for other charities.

Financial Review

Income this year was poor in terms of donations or trading income due the various lockdowns. However the charity was able to received various ‘lockdown grants’ which helped to fund some of the costs of running the charity. Our cash funds at the end of the year were £20,969.

Independent examiners reports to the Trustees of Martial Arts Community Trust

I report on the receipts and payments accounts of the charity for the year ending 31[st] March 2021.

The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not necessary under section 144(2) of the charities act 2011 (the 2011 act) and that an independent examination is needed.

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;
To state whether particular matters have come to my attention.

Basis of independent examiners 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 disclosure in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as 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.

Independent examiner’s statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention;

Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
a. To keep accounting records in accordance with the section 130 of the 2011 act; and
b. To prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 act have not been been met; or
To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
