## **Section E Financial review**
**Brief statement of the charity’s policy on reserves**
The Green Hub Project for Teens receives its funding from a wide variety of individuals and from businesses and grant makers. The charity has sufficient unrestricted reserves (£35,000) to manage its budgeted expenditure for 6 months. The Trustees consider these resources to be suitable for the organisation. Should it become apparent that a combination of reserves and current income are no longer sufficient to support the charity on an ongoing basis, the Trustees will act to close down the charity in an orderly fashion.

**Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of The Green Hub Project for Teens** For the financial year ended 30 June 2024
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011. The trustees consider that an independent examination is appropriate under section 145 of the Act and that an audit is not required for this financial year.
It is my responsibility to:
- Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011;
- Follow the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act 2011; and
- State whether particular matters have come to my attention.
## **Basis of independent examiner’s statement**
I have examined the financial statements of The Green Hub Project for Teens for the year ended 30 June 2024, which have been prepared in accordance with the Charities Statement of Recommended Practice (SORP) FRS 102 and applicable accounting standards.
My examination was carried out in accordance with the Charity Commission’s guidance for independent examiners (CC32). An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently, I do not express an audit opinion on the financial statements.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
In connection with my examination, no matters have come to my attention which give me reasonable cause to believe that:
1. Accounting records have not been kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act 2011; or
2. The financial statements do not accord with those records and comply with the relevant accounting requirements.
I have no concerns and have not found any other matters that should be drawn to the attention of the trustees to help them in fulfilling their responsibilities.
## **Signed:**
For and on behalf of Altitude Accounting Limited
