INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S REPORT TO THE GEMMA ROSE FOUNDATION
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Gemma Rose Foundation for the year ended 05/04/2021. This report is made solely to the Trustees, as a body, in accordance with part 4 of the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the Trustees those matters I am required to state to them in an Independent Examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.
RESPONSIBILITIES AND BASIS OF REPORT
As the charity trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011(‘the Act’). I report in respect of my examination of the accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S STATEMENT
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or 2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a fair and ‘true view’ which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

1. Accounts
No issues or concerns reported.
JG asked what the Trustees will do in the event of a request for support – whether that be through a donation to a cause or applicant for treatment. Had there been an instance that would prompt a change to the strategy since the last meeting.
All Trustees agreed to consider this on a case by care basis, and there was no change to the strategy.
2. Launch
Due to COVID-19 official launch of the charity has been delayed and it cannot be ascertained when launch date can be agreed.
All Trustees agreed to keep this open until such times that a launch date can be planned and agreed.
This is now top priority for the Trustees and the need to consider how awareness and interest is built and scaled is a clear priority. JG and RC agreed to discuss and bring back their ideas to the Trustees for consideration.
3. Fundraising
It is difficult to fundraise at this time due to COVID-19 and the challenges the public and organisations are faced with. As a new charity, we will struggle to qualify for grants and funding against more established charities potentially.
JG once awareness and interest is built this will be easier and we can start to approach businesses for corporate funding and to adopt us as their chosen charity. Ideas welcome here.
4. Operations
Due to COVID-19 and the delay to launch, nothing to report.
All Trustees agreed, no issues, nothing to report.
Technology and Systems – the app is almost ready for viewing and use, tester available September 2021 onwards. This is on track and will be ready for launch.
Cookies policy and T&C’s has been created for the website. Legal team to review T&C’s.
5. Volunteers
Before the charity has launched it is important to consider what volunteering will be required and what their tasks would be. Business Plan to be created and a subsequent volunteer plan to be agreed (All).
AOB
Partnering with other charities to scale-up quickly to be considered and discussed at the next meeting.
