RE-USE LIThLEBOROUGH
Charity Number1205425
I report to the trustees of Re-use Littleborough on my examinatlon of
their accounts for the 18 months ended 3151 March 2025.
Re-use Littleborough was registered as a charity on 26th October 2023. The first years financial
statements requested by the charity commission afe from 26, October 23 to 31, March 2025.
Responsiblllties 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 audit 15 not required for this
year as their income is below £250,000 and that an independent examination is appropriate as
their turnover has been above £25,000 in the previous year and may well be in the future.
I report in respect of my examination of the Organisation's accounts carried out under section
145 of the 2011 Act and in carryin8 Out my emamination I have followed all the applicable
directions 8iven by the Charity Commission under section 145151{bl of the Act.
8as1s of Examlnatlon
My examination included the review of the accounting records kept by the or8anisation and a
comparison of accounts with those records. It also took consideration of any unusual items in the
account5 of which there were none. The procedures caf ried 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 examinatlon.
Independent Examlner's Statement
The general bookkeeping is carried out by the treasurer, Katie Lloyd, using QuickBooks online
accounting software. The bookkeeping is of a hi8h standard, bank and control accounts are
reconciled regularly, and financial procedures are followed at all times.
The organisation has implemented a scheme of delegation which ensures any financial 5pendin8 IS
approved by at least 2 officers and will convert the existing bank account to a full registered charity
account with 2 signatures upon gaining full charitable status.
The board have welcomed new financial controls and agreed that all financial procedures wlll be in
line with those required by a registered charity to ensure the correct recording of financial
information and protect the organisation and trustees going forward.

The organisation does not have a reserves policy but will be reviewing this durin8 the year endin8
31" March 2026. The or8anisation currently holds feseprfes that would fund its overheads and
governance costs for 48 months.
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 01 the Act". or the accounts do not accord with those records.
I have no other concernsand 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.
Signed
Wendy Gledhill
