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.
