## **Wark Recreational Charity  (WRC)  year ended 30[th] November 2023** 

The objective of Wark Recreational Charity is to provide sporting, recreational and social amenities and facilities for the village of Wark-on-Tyne and to welcome those rural areas outside the parish to avail themselves of the same. 

In an attempt to bolster and stimulate any flagging  enthusiasm WRC have: 

Encouraged and retained a new Cricket team; arranged for four junior football teams and one senior football team. All other facilities such as our club house and childrens’ play area were extensively used for the sporting fixtures, wedding and birthday parties as well as memorial events. Music festivals and camping  gatherings were also able to feature once more which not only provided  those participating with their venue for their social occasions but also helped WRC to address the reduced reserves.  Trustees, 2022/23  also embarked upon  further fundraising to enable some much needed attention to be devoted to heating and roofing. This reroofing has now been completed and enabled the beginning of internal redecoration especially to areas for those with other needs. However the significant outlay to effect this has, understandably, eroded reserves to which the trustees are focusing their attention on rebuilding.

## **Independent examiner's report in respect of Wark Recreational Charity (WRC)** 

I report on the accounts for the year ended 30th November 2023. 

## **Respective responsibilities of the WRC and  the examiner** 

The trustees of WRC are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; and consider that an audit is not  required this year under section 144(2) 

of the Charities  Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: 

to examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act 

follow the procedures in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission section 145 (5)(b) of the 2011 Act, and 

state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of this 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 WRC 

unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from those responsible concerning any such matters.  The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in a  full audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts. 

## **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 

to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; or 

the accounts do not accord with the accounting records. 

(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached, except in relation to the following: 



Stephen Herod, The Glebe, Wark, Northumberland.
