TRUSTEES' REPORT
YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Statement of Trustee’s Responsibilities
The Trustees (who are also directors for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and the United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice.
Company 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 charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources. This includes the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. 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 Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company 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 charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Activities
In carrying out their activities, the trustees have had due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.
During the year ended 31 March 2025, the charity’s activities were significantly curtailed. This arose from a combination of health issues affecting trustee capacity and a challenging economic environment for fundraising.
As a result, limited charitable activities were undertaken during the year. The trustees continued to keep the charity’s objectives and previously identified needs under review but did not progress further activity during the period.
Achievements, Performance and Financial Review
The CIO’s principal source of income is voluntary donations. During the year, income totalled £200.
No expenditure was incurred by the charity during the year. All costs associated with maintaining the CIO, including administrative and compliance-related matters, were met personally by the trustees and were not reimbursed by the charity.
The trustees continue to monitor the charity’s financial position and are satisfied that adequate controls are in place despite the limited level of activity during the year.
Reserves policy
The trustees’ policy is to maintain sufficient unrestricted reserves to meet anticipated operational requirements. Given the current low level of activity and the absence of operational expenditure, the trustees consider the existing unrestricted reserves to be adequate and keep the reserves policy under regular review.
