## **Give here brief details of any items that the examiner wishes to disclose** .
The Charity was formed on 6th September 2024 from an existing community group, and as such the Charity was donated the current account bank balance of £12,312.51. Furthermore, the community group also held a savings account balance which was also donated, although bank statements for 6th September 2024 cannot be obtained the balance would have consisted of £40,000 plus interest.
The Charity has been unable to provide evidence of the closing bank balance at 31 st March 2025 in respect of the savings account, however they have provided proof of the balance at 29th January 2026, being £41,549.10. We have prepared a basic calculation of what the balance could have been as at 29th January 2026 using the latest interest rate paid on the account and the deposited sum, and the difference from our calculations to the live balance is a mere £261.
For the purpose of these accounts the Charity opted to state the savings account balance at 31st March 2025 at £40,000 and will recognise all interest received in the accounts to 31st March 2026 when the balance will be known.
The trustees and chair of the Charity have been very co-operative during our engagement in both providing records of the Charity’s operations, as well as evidence of their identity for AML policy compliance.
