The guidall makes it dear that what con$tte5 the public will vary depEnding upon the Charity's purposes and can include beneficiaries defined by geographi1 area. Any restriction must be rational, reasonable and justifiable. The trustees have paid due regard to the Charity Commission guidance and are satisfied that while the tharity has a narrow geographical restriction, its objects and activities are sufficiently wide to cOnStte a public benefit in that the grants made are for the benefit of a wide ctIOn of the publlc in the geographical area and people on low incomes do benefit from the Charity's actsvities.

In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsSble for assessing the charity's ability to continue as gDing conrn, disclosiThJ, as appIe, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accountj.ng unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the chattty or to cease operations, or have no realistic altemative but tc> do so. Our re5pon5ibilities for the audit of the financial statements We have been appointed as auditors under Section 144 of the Charities Art 2011 and report in accordance with the Act and levant regulab.ons made or having effett thereunder. Our oblectlves a to obtsin reasonatAe assuran about whether the financial strdtements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of asSurarn, but Is not a guarantee that an alIt conducted in accordanTr with ISA5 (UK) will aayS detect a matcrial misstatemcnt whcn it exists. Misstatemcnts can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the econornic decisions of Use taken Dn the basis of these finanaal statements. Our appThch to idenlifying and assessing the risks of matellal misstatement in respert of irregularities, including fraud and non-complianTr with law5 and regulatiOll5, wa5 as follows= the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team CO1CtIVe had the appropriate competence, tapabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with appticable law5 ar regulations,. we identtlied the laws and regulations applicable to the tharity through discussions th trustee5 and other managemen( and from our commercial knowledge and experien of the secior; we trused on speafic laws and regulations which we considered may have a dirett material effett on the financial statemènts or the 0[ratiOnS of the Charity, including the Charities Art 2011, taxation legislation, data protection, anb".brilry, employment, environmentsl and health and safety legislation,. we assessed the extenl of compliance with the LAWS and regulations identifd atove through making enquiries Df management ar¥J inspecting legal correspondence,. and Identified laws and gulationS were communicated within the audit team regulady and the team remained alert to instsnces of non-compliance throughout the aLJdrt. We assessed the SptibI7ty of the charity's financial 5tstements to material misstrdtement, including obtaining an understrdnding of how fraud mKJht occur, by.. making e1rS of management as to where they considered there was SUSptibl1ify to fraud, their knowledge of actual, susrerted and alleged fraud,. and considering the internal controls in platr to mitigate risks of fraLKI and non-complian with laws arKI regulatiorks. To areSS the risk of ud through management bias and override of contrds, we.. perfomied analytical procedures to idenb.fy any unusual or unexpected reLitionships,' tested journal entrtes to identify unusual trdnsactions., assessed whether judgements and assumptions maje in determining the accountir¥J estimates set out in the accounting p()Iioes were inditstive of potentyal bias,. and investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.

Because of the inherent limtstions of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a maten31 misstatement in the financial statements or non-complianTr with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a lèw or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, a5 we will be less likely to become aware of Instan$ of non-ComlanCe.
