|Norfolk Show: NBKA was able to
promote the importance of honey bees
to the general public and encourage
purchase of bee-friendly plants. Many
people signed up for beekeeping
courses in 2025. We were delighted to
be awarded the Trade Stand Award for
the most Effective Conservation or
Environmental Exhibit
Beekeeping courses have been held
with the practical elements taking place
at the 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 talk have taken
part throughout 2024 to encourage
beekeeping.
Schools and children’s club talks are
given by beekeepers to promote
awareness of the importance of bees in
our world.
Swarms have been removed by our
local volunteers and found new homes.
Storage at the training apiary enables
bulk-buying of essential beekeeping
items. This helps and encourages
NBKA members to continue
beekeeping.| Additional information (optional) You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: **----- Start of picture text -----**

(remember to include the page numbers of additional sheets)| ||I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above
charity (“the Trust”) for the period ended**30/09/2023**.
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 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. * _Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply._ |**Signed:**
