JOSEPH BAKER WORKMAN’S CHARITY

Registered Charity No. 203745

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2022

The trustees present their report and accounts which comply with the charity's governing document and Statement of Recommended Practice 2005.

The objective of the charity is to manage the Old School Room for the use of the inhabitants of the Parish of Charlton without distinction of political, religious or other opinions, including use for meetings, lectures and classes and for other forms of recreation and leisure time occupation with the object of improving the conditions of life for the said inhabitants.

The following have been regular hirers of The Old School Room during the year:-

Pre-school Cubs and Scouts Parish Council Charlton Chattery

The charity was successful in obtaining a Legacy Grant from Wychavon Council to enable the addition of another extension to contain a new kitchen together with a full modernization of the service area. Part of this grant was drawn down this financial year to fund the first phase of this project.

The Trustees have complied with their duty in section 4 of 2006 Charities Act to ensure the charity is for the public benefit.

Risk Management

The trustees continue to review the major business and operational risks to which the charity is exposed. Systems have been established to mitigate those risks and procedures implemented to minimise any potential impact on the charity.

Statement of Trustees Responsibilities

The trustees are required to prepare accounts for each financial year that give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the trust as at the end of the financial year and of the net incoming and outgoing resources for that period.

The trustees confirm that suitable accounting policies have been used and applied consistently and that reasonable and prudent judgements and estimates have been made in the preparation of the accounts for the year ended 31 July 2022. The trustees also confirm that applicable accounting standards have been followed and that the statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the trust and which enable them to ensure that the accounts

comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the trust and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
