TRUSTEES' ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED: 06 October 2022

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Governing document: The trust deed (26 September 2008) Status: Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) (From 24 April 2020) Charity Number: 1189188

Committee appointment:

Appointment of the committee is by annual election at the AGM. The committee is authorised to appoint new members to fill vacancies arising through resignation or death of an existing member. Major risks: The ongoing need for receipt of funding and donations.

Risk Management:

The trustees actively review the major risks which the group may face on a regular basis and believe that maintaining reserves at current levels, combined with an annual review of the controls over key financial systems, will provide sufficient resources in the event of adverse conditions. The trustees have also examined other operational and business risks faced by the group and confirm that they have established systems to mitigate the significant risks.

Investment policy:

The trustees have the power to make and hold investments using the general funds of the group, but no investments are presently held.

The committee's responsibility in relation to the financial statements

The law in England and Wales require the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the group's financial activities during that period and of its financial position at the end of that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:

(b) Make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

(c) State whether the policies adopted are in accordance with the Charities Acts and with the applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

(d) Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in operation.

The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with relevant Acts and recognised accountancy standards. It is also responsible for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

MISSION AND OBJECT IVES

To support and help disadvantaged people from the Somali refugee community, especially the elderly and members with disability to overcome barriers and isolation and to participate more fully in activities within their community.
