Raise funds, receive grants and donations
-
Use funds to carry out the work of the group
-
Co-operate with and support other groups with similar purposes

Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
Now that the restrictions of COVID rules have been lifted we have managed to organize entertainment and outings for our members.
These have included: - Visits to the local cinema Meals and entertainment at local venues Trip on heritage railway – Loughborough/Leicester Party for the Queen’s Jubilee Pantomime
Our funds in the bank have increased from £15,805.04 to £17,886.59 greatly helped by a £3000 donation from Daventry masonic and £1836.10 from fundraising.
Charity’s policy on reserves
Our annual income and expenditure are relatively low, and our funds are kept in our bank account. Interest rates are very low, often less than 1%, and offer little incentive to set up a special savings account for any reserves we may have. Should interest rates markedly increase then we will reconsider our position with reserves.

Report to the trustees of Daventry & District Memory Cafe on their accounts for the year ended 31[st] March 2023
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the requirements of section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (The Act) does not apply. It is my responsibility to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 43(7)(b) of the Act, 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 Commissioner. An examination includes review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also included consideration of any unusual items or disclosures 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.

-

Have not 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.
