Quedgeley Community Trust Year To 31st March 2025
Independent Examiner's Report To The Trustees Of Quedgeley Community Trust
Statement of Assets and Liabilities As At 31st March 2025 pages 1 to 3.
Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Examiner
The Trustees of the Charity are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The Trustees of the Charity consider that an audit is not required for this year, under section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 and that an independent examination is required.
It is our responsibility to:
Examine the accounts under section 43(3)(a) of the 1993 Act;
To follow procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 43(7)(b) of the 1993 Act and
To state whether particular matters have come to our attention
Basis of Independent Examiner's Report
Our examination was carried our in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes the 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 such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required by an audit, and consequently we do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent Examiner's Statement
In connection with our examination we confirm that no matter has come to our attention which gives us reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the 1993 Act have not been met.
We also confirm that in our belief the preparation of the accounts and the accounting records comply with the account requirements of the 1993 Act.

Chairman’s Report
Like most groups and charities, it has been a very difficult year. However, with QHFC making a profit we have again helped several local groups giving grants to local groups and schools, many of these groups without the Trust’s help would be struggling to find funding.
Quedgeley Show
The Trust is unable to run Quedgeley Show any more due to the lack of appetite from the Community. It met with other groups within the community and “Help if You Can” (HIYC) wanted to continue running the show. QCT has given HIYC support and they have now taken the show over.
Quedgeley Health and Fitness Club
QHFC provides a useful facility to all of the community. The Gym offers personal training plans, fitness classes, cardiac & stroke rehabilitation classes and hire of badminton, tennis courts and the sports halls. It helps promote a healthy lifestyle for the community. QHFC has made a profit which some will be invested back into the facility to purchase new equipment. Trading looks positive for 2024/25 and the pupils and staff from Severn Vale School also continue to benefit from the facility .
Q Club
We still remain in partnership with Prospect Training running the Q Club, this year QCT ran the “Warm Rooms” initiative again in conjunction with the Q Club. This allowed both families and the elderly who are suffering with the cost-of-living crisis to sit in a warm room and have a cup of tea or coffee and cake or a sandwich at subsidised prices while enjoying free Wi-Fi. The soft play area has been great success, this has provided a facility for parents and Children to meet on a regular basis to promote community The Q Club remains successful and is a beacon for youth provision and family cohesion throughout the County.
Finally
Mandy Clift took over as Treasurer and has done an excellent job, the Trust would like to sincerely thank Mandy for the excellent work she has done throughout the year, not only with the accounts but the sound advice she always gives. A special thanks goes to Mr Mike Skidmore & Ashley Barnby my fellow Trustees. Thanks must go to Bluewave Partners Ltd who audits our accounts and have supported QCT for many years .I would also personally like to thank the rest of the Committee who without all their time and hard work the Trust would not be where it is today. I must also thank the people who give me the most support my Family especially Julie who stepped in as secretary. We should all be proud of what we have achieved through a very difficult year, however the Trust still has a bright future.
