Section D Achievements and performance
Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year
The Martin charitable Trust has had an extraordinary year. Due the death of a family member the trust was given a legacy from the remainder of the will to be used as seen fit by the trustees.
The trustees took the decision that it would disperse approximately half of the received funds with 2 years and to especially help known trusts and works that they had supported in previous years especially through these years of a covid pandemic. New missional work was also considered as recommended by the family members.
The remaining monies have been invested in ethical funds to provide an ongoing income to the charity so they can donate these receipts in the years to come.

My examination work has been undertaken so that I might state to the society’s members those matters I am required to state to them in an examiners’ report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the society and the society’s members as a body, for my work, for this report, or for the opinions I have formed. Basis of Independent Examiner’s statement My examination was carried out in accordance with General Directions given by Martin Charitable Trust. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the Society 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 Society Board Members 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 accounts. In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention: a) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the Society Board Members have not met the requirements to ensure that: i) proper accounting records are kept ii) accounts are prepared which agree with the accounting records and comply with generally accepted accounting requirements; or b) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
