TRUSTEES REPORT
It gives us great pleasure to provide the Trustees Report for 2023 where we have seen The Soothill Community Association continue to flourish.
The key objective throughout the year/s has continued to be, to try our best to help the community. To achieve the objective we have engaged with many organisations, to name a few Kirklees Council, Huddersfield Town Foundation, Spark Skills and
One Community. The engagement has led to many successful initiatives that have benefitted the local and wider community, please see below:
Continued partnership working with Huddersfield Town Foundation has enabled a weekly session to continue be provided for the youth in the community.
Engagement with volunteers has lead to a number of individuals being trained as walk, cycle and movement and games in chairs leaders.
Successful funding applications to One Community that have lead to support being provided to people to help with the cost of living crisis.
Successful funding application to Kirklees Council that has resulted in funding being provided to refurbish the toilets, to make them more accessible.
The key element is maintaining the building which provides a platform for the community to benefit. We hope to continue providing as much as we can for the community and build on the success of this year.
Suleman Aswat
On behalf of the trustees of The Soothill Community Association

ACCOUNTANTS REPORT
Responsibilities and basis of report Independent examiner’s statement
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Soothill Community Association for the year ended 31 December 2023, which are set out on pages 4 to 5.
Responsibilities and basis of report
As the Charity's 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 Charity’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 Charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
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.
