We were delighted to be awarded
the Trade Stand Award for the most
Effective Conservation or

NBKA Centenary Celebrations: We
were able to finance a day of
excellent speakers to encourage
local beekeepers and celebrate the
Associations activities.
Beekeeping courses have been
held with the practical elements
taking place at the new Association
Apiary. This is a very important
service we are able to offer those
who want to take up beekeeping as
well as those wanting to improve
their own skills and knowledge.
Demonstrations and talks have
taken place throughout 2023 to
encourage beekeeping.
Schools and children’s club talks
are given by beekeepers to promote
awareness of the importance of
bees in our world.
Storage at the training apiary
enables bulk-buying of essential
beekeeping items. This helps and
encourages NBKA members to
continue beekeeping.

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the period ended **30/09/2023** .
**Responsibilities and** As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the **basis of report** 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 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 have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have **examiner's statement** 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.

Beekeeping courses have been

Apiary. This is a very important
service we are able to offer those
who want to take up beekeeping as
well as those wanting to improve
their own skills and knowledge.
Demonstrations and talks have
taken place throughout 2023 to
encourage beekeeping.
Schools and children’s club talks
are given by beekeepers to promote
awareness of the importance of
bees in our world.
Storage at the training apiary
enables bulk-buying of essential
beekeeping items. This helps and
encourages NBKA members to
continue beekeeping.

I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the period ended **30/09/2023** .
**Responsibilities and** As the charity's trustees, you are responsible for the preparation of the **basis of report** 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 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 have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have **examiner's statement** 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.
