Main activities
Over the last year we have widened our area’s of help and in winter offered a postal service for essentials like coats, we have taken on a lot more volunteers and this is making life easier to take a lot more donations and get referrals out quicker ,, we now have period poverty boxes in around 11 centres which we fill up monthly , we have helped move St George’s walk in wardrobe in to a larger building and help keep this stocked and running on a monthly basis our food pantry has been a huge success and we have obtained a few grants to keep this stocked up as-well as receiving regular food stamps to spend in Heron.

Reserves policy

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 2025
I report on the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31st January 2025 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” To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other then the company and the company's trustees as a body, for my work or for this report.
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
1.1 Basis of preparation
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.
As the charity's level of income is below £250,000 the management committee has opted for the accounts to be prepared in a receipts and payment basis. This is in accordance with the Charity Commission guidelines for small charities and is seen as more appropriate for this project.

Incoming resources that may be applied for the charities general purposes are treated as unrestricted incoming resources and are credited to the unrestricted fund.
Where a donation or grant is required to be used for a specific purpose, the amount concerned is treated as restricted income and is credited to the appropriate restricted fund.
