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**
This has been a successful year for the Charity with both continued and new support provided to a number of individuals, organisations and schools to allow them to experience Martial Arts training or to support them in their ongoing training. We ran a number of free events including a very successful free ladies self defence course, some free teenagers mental health workshops and we provided space for other organisations to fund raise for various charities. At Christmas we also provided a number of food hampers to a local community charity. Last we ran a series of smaller events where people were asked to donate as much as they wanted to benefit smaller local charities.
## **Financial Review**
The current year has met with our expectations in terms of fundraising activities and expenditure on the new building. Our cash funds at the end of the year were £1,028.

**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 2020.
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;
1. 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
2. To which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
