The Trust became a registered charity on 14 June 2022 under a trust deed dated 14 October 2021. The Trust took over the existing arrangements for running the activities of the Methwold Hall Complex “MHC” which had previously been run directly by the Parish Council and MHC’s financial results in the past had been incorporated within the Parish Council’s financial statements.The activities of the MHC have been on going for many years and the registration of those activities and governance of the MHC as a registered charity did not fundamentally change their nature nor the class of beneficiaries This scenario is usually referred to as a “change of legal form” rather than the creation of a new entity. Under the Charities SORP this falls under paragraph 27.12 dealing with mergers and reconstructions and the appropriate method of accounting is known as “Merger Accounting”. Effectively the past unincorporated activities of MHC are merged with the newly registered charity and presented as an ongoing activity. These are the second set of financial statements in the Charity SORP format.

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’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** I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of **examiner's statement** the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales I have completed my examination.  I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or 

- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or 

- the accounts did 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.
