The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (The Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to.. examine the accounts under Section 145 of the Charities Act, to follow the procedures laid down in the Beneral Directions gNen by the Charity Commis510f (under Section 14515llbl of the Charities Act) and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. Basis of independent examiner's report My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examinalion 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 disclosvres in the accounts, and seeking explanations from the 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: iii 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 Act,. and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the requirements of the Charities Act; have not been met,. or 121 to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts tffjbe re Cobley Desborough Chartered Certified Accountants Chartered Tax Advisers Artlsan's House 7 Queen5brldge Northampton NN47BF Tel No. 01604 823560 17 December 2025 Local Families With Bleeding Disorders Year ended 31 March 2025 Statement of financial activity Year ended 31 March 2025 2024 Income and Endowments From Donatlons Amazon Smile Company Donations Other Donations Regular Oonations 39 2,585 2,502 310 1,081 420 Raising funds Fundraising Events Income Sponsorship 535 206 137 Total Income 1,638 6,177 Expenditure on Ralslng funds Direct Expenses Family Events Fundraising Events Marketing Merchandise Wellbeing Events 349 628 8,814 5,387 188 135 6,096 360 Charitable Activities Audit & Accountancy fees Consulting Data Protection Costs Entertainment - 0% General Expenses Insurance IT Software and Consumables Postage, Freight & Courier Printing & Stationery Subscriptions Travel - National Website 420 144 35 49 351 531 199 396 135 134 1,888 567 138 43 35 50 85 143 29 47 Total Expendlture 3,167 24,212 Net IncomellExpenditurel 1529 18,035 Reconcilation of Funds Net Movement In Funds 1529 I8￿35 Total Funds Brought Forward 19554 37,589 Total Funds Carrled Forward 18J)25 19,554 Local Families With Bleeding Dlsorders Year ended 31 March 2025 Statement of assets and li3bllitles Yearended 31 March 2025 2024 Current Asset5 Debtors Cash at bank and in hand 200 18,249 18,449 200 19,750 19,950 Creditors Amounts falling due within one year 424 424 394 394 Net currerst assets Iliabilitiesl 18,025 19,556 Total assets less current liabilities 18,025 19,556 Net assets 18,025 19,556
