Financial Review
Total income was £45,061 (of which include 2024: £8,837), including £8,678 of Gift Aid recoverable. Expenditure was £25,664 (of which include 2024: £4,481). Year-end reserves: £19,397 (of which include 2024: £4,356).
Principal Risks and Uncertainties
Funding reliance is mitigated by donor diversification. Safeguarding and compliance risks mitigated through training and audits. Regulatory risk mitigated with external professional support.
Reserves Policy
The Trustees’ reserve policy aims at building up free reserves in unrestricted funds to the level needed to cover up to three months operating expenditure, equivalent to £4,850 (2024: £Nil) well below the accumulated free funds of £19,397 (of which include 2024: £4,356) available, by means of annual operating surpluses and supplemented by generalpurpose appeals from time to time. This is to ensure sufficient working capital is available to meet expected expenditure and liabilities in the event of a fall in income. This Policy will be reviewed every other period, at minimum, or sooner if warranted by internal or external events or changes.
Plans for Future Periods
The charity plans to:
-
Grow unrestricted donations by 10%
-
Expand learning opportunities to reach 200 more children
-
Increase partnerships with other organizations
-
Build an orphanage to shelter 50+ orphans
The charity intends to continue to support causes in accordance with the objects of the charity and strengthen volunteer training and governance.

Statement of Trustees Responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
The law applicable to charities in England and Wales, the Charities Act 2011, Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial Period which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that Period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Examiner’s report To the trustees of Place At My Table
I report on accounts of the association for the period ended 31 March 2025, which are set out on pages 7 to 12.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
As described on page 4 the charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 1444(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts (under section 145 of the 2011 Act;
-
follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. 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 you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a `true and fair view’ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner’s statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
-
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met; or
-
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
