Para 1.20 | The year following incorporation on March 20th2020 was of course the first year of the COVID 19 pandemic. The steering group swiftly moved meetings online and utilised the Zoom platform. Two members used their skills to make masks, both fabric using newly acquired sewing machines and then 3D printed using a COVID relief grant from the Northamptonshire Community Foundation to purchase 3D printers and consumables. The masks and stretchers were given away free to key workers at various NHS and Corby Council sites as well as to volunteers working in the Kingswood and Hazel Leys Community. The 25 year lease for land on which the shed was built was negotiated, agreed and signed, along with final plans for construction.

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of Kingswood Hazel Leys Community in Sheds (Reg Charity 1188380)
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Kingswood Hazel Leys Community in Sheds for period 6[th] March 2020 to 31[st] March 2021.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the charity trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’). I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
Independent examiner’s statement
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
