Hinckley and District Mencap Society Trustees annual report 2023
At our AGM On 24th October 2023 we were able to celebrate a good year for the Society. The clubs have slightly increased in regular members and are now generally between 20-24 members which is a good number for activities. We have been able to offer a number of social activities including crafts, walk to the local pub,seasonal
parties(Coronation,Halloween), are taking part in the local Christmas Tree festival, and taking a group to the pantomime.
We also celebrate a better year for funds as the shop and bargain garage sales have provided increased income and we have regular users renting the hall. Despite some heavy but needed improvement expenditure in the hall there has been a surplus of income over expenses which is reassuring.
We have now a good core of volunteers for the shop and clubs are again benefiting from Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme volunteers.We feel we are approaching 2024 in good shape.
Challenges: We are now looking for a new secretary to reduce office work burdens on volunteers,and ways to advertise our presence to possible new members.
HINCKLEY AND DISTRICT 'MENCAP' SOCIETY
STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2023
HINCKLEY & DISTRICT MENCAP SOCIETY
Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of ‘Hinckley & District Mencap Society’.
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 31[st] March 2023, which are set out on pages 1 to 3.
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 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Act), as amended by section 28 of the Charities Act 2006 and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts (under section 145 of the Act); and
-
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under
-
section 145(5)(b) of the Act as amended); 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 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
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 130 of the Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements
-
of the 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.
