Quinn’s Retreat has continued to perform very well during this reporting period. We have seen our working capital remain at a steady level (when taking into account monies transferred to a savings account).

*£50,000 invested in a 12 month savings account 

## **Donations, Events and Grants** 

Work on securing grants from various bodies has continued and has been successful. Major grants in this reporting period included £2,500 from the Charities Trust and £2,000 from CAF. We were very grateful to have been donated the venue hire at Blackwell Grange where our charity night raised around £13,000 through ticket sales, raffle and auction. The events at Shildon Live and the Stanhope 10 mile run raised £3,500. Donations in this reporting period reached just over £16,500 with the monthly average at £1,375. 

## **Spending** 

We transferred £50,000 into a 12 month savings account which will provide a return and will be included in the next financial years accounts. 

Aside from ongoing costs to support our guests, and for upkeep and ongoing fixed costs for the caravans there have been a few major spends, highlighted below. 

Quinn’s Retreat has provided the majority of funding, totalling just under £6500 to the North East Speak Their Name Suicide memorial quilt project, providing craft equipment, a textile artist to assist the making of the quilt and the hire of a

film maker and graphic designer to produce the accompanying video and books for the quilt that was launched on the 11[th] November 2023. 

Following on from the grant that we received for staff costs last year, we are continuing to employ Tracey for up to 2 days a week at the national living wage which is now being paid out of the general funds of the charity. 

For the Great North Run in September 2024 we have purchased 16 places at a cost of £1414 which should earn a large amount for the charity and will increase awareness in the North East and further afield especially as two of our runners, Callum and Teegan were featured in a promotional video that was shown on the BBC coverage of this years run along with being shown on the big screens at the start and finish. 

## **Looking forward to next year** 

The fundraising places at the 2024 Great North Run give us an excellent opportunity to not only raise money but the publicise the charity. The Stanhope 10 mile race have once again nominated us as their charity of choice for the 4[th] year running. 

We have the remaining event from being NatWest Bank’s charity of the year, a black tie gala ball at the Wylam Brewery in Newcastle. We will also fortunate enough to be invited to our usual events that we attend at Shildon Live, Fun For All and Coastfest in North Shields. 

## **Year end accounts** 

Year-end accounts have been prepared ready for the annual report and are awaiting independent verification. This is required as total income has been greater than £25,000, however a full audit is not required and the person does not need to be a qualified accountant. The charities commission states that the examiner must have the skills and experience to carry out his or her responsibilities. 

The board has re-appointed the same independent examiner as last year to undertake this work. The date for submission of the annual report, including the verification is 10 months from year end, which will be 28 December 2024. 

The board is asked to accept this report.

## **Quinn’s Retreat – Charity Number: 1187899** 

## **Independent Examination – Accounts ending 29[th] February 2024** 

## **Independent Examiner: Sharon Louise Dewhurst** 

As this is an independent examination and not a full audit, it is not necessary to hold any qualifications to carry out this examination as the charity’s gross income is less than £250,000 as confirmed by the payments, receipts and bank statements.  I am employed as a SAP Finance Functional Specialist, having worked in various roles within Financial Accounting for 30 years.  It is therefore reasonable that I should have sufficient skills to carry out this independent examination.  I do not have any further connections with the Quinn’s Retreat Charity. 

I can confirm that I have based this independent examination upon the third party evidence provided to me by the trustees of Quinn’s Retreat. 

## **Direction 1: check whether the charity is eligible to have an independent examination.** 




## **Gross Income - £44,504.90** 

The definition of gross income for a charity depends on the form of accounts prepared. 

For receipts and payments accounts – gross income is the total receipts recorded in the statement of accounts from all sources excluding the receipt of any endowment, loans and proceeds from the sale of investments or fixed assets.

|**The examiner is required to check that:**|**Checked**|
|An examination is required under section 145(1) of the<br>CharitiesAct 2011|_Yes_|
|Section 144(1) [audit] of the Charities Act 2011 does not<br>applytothe charity|_Yes_|

## **Direction 2: Check for an conflict of interest that prevents the examiner from carrying out their independent examination** 

I can confirm that I am not a member of the charity.  I am not involved in any day to day activities of Quinn’s retreat.  I do not believe I have any conflict of interest nor would it be perceived that I am not independent in carrying out this report. 

## **Direction 3: Record your independent examination** 

This document is a record of the independent examination. 

## **Direction 4: Plan your independent examination** 

I am confident I understand the nature of the charity, what the charity aims to do and how they plan to do it.  The Trustees of Quinn’s Retreat have provided Treasurer’s reports; which include minutes from the AGM, budget setting and budget reports that clearly demonstrate what the charity is trying to achieve. 

## **Direction 5: Check that the accounting records are kept to the required standard** 

Quinn’s Retreat have provided up to date account information including bank statements dating back to March 2023 and receipts for transactions.  The budget reports detail the assets held, how their budget held up against actual yearly costs and the proposed budget for the forthcoming year including assumed income and expenditure. 

## **Direction 6: Check that the accounts are consistent with the accounting records** 

I can confirm that I have reviewed the receipts provided against the bank statements provided from March 2023 to February 2024 and feel these records have been maintained in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006. 

## **Direction 7: N/A** 

## **Direction 8: Check the reasonableness of the significant estimates, judgements and accounting policies used in accounting for the types of fund held and in the preparation of the accounts.** 

Receipts and payments accounts have been provided.  It is my judgement that the bank statements are reflective of the receipts and payments provided. Many donations are provided from facebook or bank transfers and there is no further evidence of these payments in but nor would I expect there to be.  The donations are reasonable and what you would expect. 

## **Direction 9: The examiner must check whether the trustees have considered the financial circumstances of the charity at the end of the reporting period and, if the accounts are prepared on an accruals** 



## **basis, check whether the trustees have made an assessment of the charity’s position as a going concern when approving the accounts.** 

The trustees have provided a Budget Report for the forthcoming year, all of which seems reasonable and appropriate.  It is my belief the trustees have considered the financial circumstances of the charity at the end of the reporting period. 

## **Direction 10: Check the form and content of the accounts** 

## **Direction 11: Identify items from the analytical review of the accounts that need to be followed up for further explanation or evidence.** 

Noting that £50,000 has been invested in a 12-month savings account.  The treasurer’s report states that the return on this investment will be included in the 2024-2025 accounts. 

There is a clerical error on the dates in payslip for Aug 23 – these indicate they relate to June period, however there is no additional payment for August and the YTD values are consistent with this being pay for August month.  A tax rebate was also received for the full amount of tax paid to HMRC for the 23/24 financial year – this was refunded with November 23 pay. 

## **Direction 12: Compare the trustees’ annual report with the accounts.** 

I have found nothing I wish to investigate further.  All transactions are clearly stated and easy to follow.
