Aims and Organisation
To raise, receive and administer funds from public, private or other sources to enable the Rotary Club of Caterham to carry out charitable projects for the international community, the local community, individuals and other bodies to include charitable donations where appropriate.
Organisation is through duly appointed committees of the Club subject to approval or ratification by Members of the Club in general meeting and by the Club Council in accordance with its authorised powers as confirmed by the Members of the Club in general meeting.
Review of the Activities during the Year 2022-2023
There were a wide range of charitable activities during the year to collect funds and to distribute them amongst local, educational and international recipients. The amounts raised and expended are listed in the notes to the accounts attached.
Statement of the Trustees Responsibilities
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper books of account and preparing, in accordance with applicable accounting standards, consecutive financial statements consisting of a statement of financial activities, balance sheet and notes to the accounts. The Trustees are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Club and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other
irregularities. The report and accounts are prepared in accordance with the Charities Act 2011.
Reserve Policy
The charity has no formal reserves, but the Trustees aim to retain an amount in the cash accounts such that the balance in the accounts at year end should be sufficient to cover the net budgeted donations and necessary expenditure planned for the following year. This would allow the programme of donations and necessary expenditure to be maintained in the event of a sudden drop in income, such as that caused by the 2020 corona virus outbreak.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of The Rotary Club of Caterham Charity Funds (the Club)
I have reviewed the accounts of the Club for the year ended 5 April 2023 which comprise the Balance Sheet, Statement of Financial Activities and the related notes. These accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out therein.
This report is made solely to the Trustees, as a body. My review has been undertaken so that I may state to the Trustees those matters herein I have agreed with them and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Trustees as a body for my work, for this report or the conclusions I have formed.
Trustees’ responsibility for the accounts
As explained in the Trustees’ Responsibilities Statement the Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts of the Club. The Trustees consider that an audit is not required and that an assurance review is needed.
Accountant’s responsibility
My responsibility is to express a conclusion based on my review of the accounts. Scope of the Assurance Review
My review includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Club 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 the 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 Club accounts present 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 review, no matter has come to my attention: which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirement to keep accounting records in accordance with the Charities Act has not been met; or to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts of the Club to be reached.
