TODMORDEN FOOD DROP IN Charity Reg No 1201934 I report to the trustees of Todmorden Food Drop In on my examination of their accounts for the year ended 31st May 2025. The Trustees have requested that an independent examination be carried out for the year ending 315t May 2025. Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 20111.the Act'l. The trustees consider that an avdit is not required for this year as their income is below I million and that an independent examination is appropriate. I report in respect of my examination of the organisation'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 14515llbl of the Act. Basis of Examination My examination included the review of the accounting records kept by the organisation and a comparison of accounts Wlth those records. It also took consideration of any unusual items in the accounts of which there were none. The procedures carried out do not provide all the evidence required for the purposes of an audit and therefore no opinion is given on the 'true and fair view,, this is not a matter for the independent examination. Independent Examiner's Statement The general bookkeeping is carried out by the treasurer. Neil Howarth, using QuickBooks online accounting software. The bookkeeping is of a high standard, bank and control accounts are reconciled re8ularly, and financial procedures are followed at all times. The board have welcomed financial controls and agreed that all financial procedures are in line with those required by a registered charity to ensure the correct recording of financial information and protect the organisation and trustees goin8 forward. The reserves policy that states the organisation should hold the c05t of 6 months overhead and governance costs. Funds at the year end of 31" May 2025 fell just short of 6 months and the organisation are working towards maintaining thi5 level of finding going forward. I can confirm that, in the case of my examination, no material matters have come to my attention that would give me cause to believe that accounting records were not kept in respect of the organisation as required by section 130 of the Act.. or the accounts do not accord with those records. I have no otherconcern5 and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
