## **Main activities**
In 2022 / 23 we have seen an increase in the demand for beds and cots along with bedding and quilts so we ran with this and set up our sleep safe campaign where we pledge to make sure every child has a safe warm clean space to sleep at night ,, we have also launched our “Bags of Hope” which are bags of essential items that our sent out to families who have fled Domestic Violence and find themselves in refugee or hotels with no belongings this is open to all health professionals, social workers police etc and can be requested and collected 24/7. Our food pantry has gone from strength to strength and has managed to secure a few monetary donations to keep it stocked. We now have small essential packs being distributed through our Castleford volunteer after managing to buy a small shed which has proved very popular. We have also set up a walk in wardrobe at St George’s youth centre where children / young adults can go to access clothing underwear and toiletries that they cannot get at home this has been life changing for some families and is something we are extremely proud of ,, this year has been our busiest to date and moving forward hope to be expanding in to a few different areas our next project in the pipeline is working with the children’s heart surgery fund helping families with children in their facilities

## **Reserves policy**
The Charity aims to keep sufficient funds as free reserves to cover 3 months overheads.
## **Statement of trustees' responsibilities**
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity at the year end and of its incoming resources and resources expended during that year. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
- observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been
- followed subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. The trustees declare that they have approved the above report. Signed on behalf of the trustees

**Independent examiners report to the trustees of TINY HANDS BABY BANK YORKSHIRE for the year ended 31st January 2023**
I report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st January 2023 which are set out on pages 4 to 6.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for 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:
- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
- follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
- 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 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 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 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:
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act
have not 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.

## **1 Accounting policies**

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis and in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 and related Regulations, the Statement of Recommended Practice "Accounting and Reporting by Charities" issued in January 2015 and applicable accounting standards.
