As such, the trustees ensure that the activities of the charity are for the public benefit. ## **Achievements and performance** Following the uncertainty of the previous two years with the pandemic causing major disruption to the day centres provision we are now able to provide a fully functioning centre that is a base at which we are able to provide a twocourse hot meal for up to 60 clients four days a week. Twice a week we provide entertainment in the form of a local singers or musicians for after dining entertainment of our clients.

The cost of this project is estimated at £45k. Funds are designated to part fund the project, but match funding is to be sought to make the project viable. We are in the preparation of installing solar panels to reduce our exposure to energy cost fluctuations and our carbon footprint. The cost of this project is estimated at £30k. ## **Financial Review** The centre generated a surplus of £18097 for the year on a payments and receipts basis. As part of the funding for the plans for the coming year the management committee have designated £30k of the reserves towards the projects and will seek funding for the balance by way of fund raising and grants. The management committee have considered the level of reserves that it needs to hold to ensure the provision of services to the local community during times of financial difficulty, the level has been determined at one years budgeted cost of £45,000 . Current cash reserves are slightly above this level. ## **Risk Management:** The trustees have assessed the major risks to which the charity is exposed and are satisfied that systems are in place to mitigate exposure to the major risks. ## **Structure, governance, and management** The charity is an unincorporated entity governed by a memorandum and articles of association. The trustees, who served during the year and up to the date of signature of the accounts were: E Gadsdon (Appointed 15 December 2022) A Hossack P Smith R Jarrard I Foster The board of trustees has the power to appoint and remove trustees on a majority basis. The trustees' report was approved by the Board of Trustees. …………………………………………….. Eileen Gadsdon **Chair of Trustees** 2 | P a g e THE HOCKLEY AND HAWKWELL DAY CENTRE FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2023 **INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE HOCKLEY AND HAWKWELL DAY CENTRE** I am reporting on the accounts for the year ended 31st March 2023 which are set out on pages 3 to 8. ## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 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 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the 1993 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to: - examine the accounts under section 43 of the 1993 Act. - follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act; and to 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 Commission. 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 represent a "true and fair view" and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below. ## **Independent examiner's statement** In connection with 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 41 of the 1993 Act and to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 1993 Act, have not been met: or - 2) which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
