Disclosure
Onty complete rf the examiner needs lo highlight matt*s of concan (see CC32.
Independenl examination of tharity account5: diredions and guidance for
examiners).
v*w of original CAB grant infomation not provlded for the prewation
of the 2024 has NJerrtif￿d that the amount of restricted income received in Ihe
2024 accounts from Communty of Christ Church, who *ere previously rnnning
the foodbank vrds oVe￿tated by 14650.96. This arose due to a
misunderstanding of how the grant worked (ie Wit between restricted and
unrestrtcted element)
re¢lassffication of this incorred brought foThward balan￿ from 2024 has
been treated as a transfer from the restricted furKI to unrestri¢*ed fvrKls to tha
value of £14,650.96 in the 2025 accomts.
All of the ￿$t17¢t8d element of this grdnt has been used up during 2025 8rMI the
balance of fund is zero.
