## **Trustees' responsibilities statement** 

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). 

The law applicable to charities in England & Wales 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 charity and  of the incoming  resources  and  application  of resources  of  the charity  for that  period. In  preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to: 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- 

- 

   - observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP; 

   - make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; 

- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
