## REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2024 

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Financial position** 

NEWSAR continues to benefit from generous donations and is in a stable financial position to deliver its charitable objectives. Total income for the year was £93,499 (2023: £389,875). After expenditure of £69,643 (2023: £64,685), total reserves are £349,046 (2023: £325,190) of which £12,055 ( 2023: £3,440) are restricted. 

## **Principal funding sources** 

Principal funding sources are grants, individual donations and legacies. 

## **Investment policy and objectives** 

Funds not currently required for short-term expenditure are deposited in interest bearing accounts. 

## **Reserves policy** 

The Trustees aim to have at least one year's running cost reserved annually. 

The unrestricted funds of £ 336,991 at 31st December 2024 (2023: £321,750) are in line with this policy. 

## **Going concern** 

NEWSAR undertakes regular fundraising activities to ensure that the organisation has sufficient financial resources to maintain full operational status into the future. 

We periodically recruit and train new members to replace those who leave the Team. 

All of our working assets are regularly inspected to ensure that they remain serviceable, safe and compliant with manufacturers guidelines and legislation and a scheduled replacement programme for expendable items is in place. 

## **FUTURE PLANS** 

We aim to have a new own Base from where we can run our organisation in the near future. We are currently in negotiations with our current Landlord to investigate the possibility of expanding or rebuilding our current base, provided that a significant extension to the lease is granted. We are also exploring alternative options to ensure the stability of NEWSAR's future which may involve a move of Base.

INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF NORTH EAST WALES SEARCH AND RESCUE TEAM 

## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of North East Wales Search and Rescue Team** 

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of North East Wales Search and Rescue Team (the Trust) for the year ended 31st December 2024. 

## **Responsibilities and basis of report** 

As the charity trustees of the Trust 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 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all 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: 

1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by Section 130 of the Act; or 

2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or 

3. the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination. 

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.

Where costs cannot be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources.
