Achievements of Performance

The trustees paid one-fourth of the net yearly income remaining after making payments of expenses of management to the Sutterton Education Foundation.

The residue of the net yearly income was divided into seven equal parts and the trustees paid five parts to Sutterton Charity Trust and paid two parts to Amber Hill Charity Trust.

The results for the year are shown in the receipts and payments account on page 4.

Financial Review

The management of the charity investments has been delegated to an independent financial adviser on an advisory basis. The objectives are to generate sufficient income to continue the activities of the charity and to maximise the returns of the charity’s assets. The IFA has regard to the suitability of the selection of investments and the need for diversification of investments. Within the portfolio, cash reserves are held to ensure the ongoing activities of the charity can be maintained.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Sutterton Parochial Charity Trust

I report on the accounts of the trust for the year ended 31 March 2026 which are set out on pages 4 to 7.

Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Independent 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(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

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 the 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 whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair view’.

Independent Examiner’s Statement

In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
