Page 3
Nominations for trnstees are invited from our members in advance of each AGM and as necessary, are
voted for at the meeting. The Society's Council makes its own recommendations for new tLUStees to
the membership. This is done with a view to achieving a good balance in terms of skills, interests,
experience and geographical representation. No fonnal training is offered to new trustees but the
Council does encourage trustees to understudy existing office-bearers with a view to taking over their
responsibilities.
Steps are currently beingJ taken to dTaw up a strategJic framework for the Society in which the Tules and
tasks of the trustees and office-be(Irers will be defined.
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS, RESPONSIBILITIES
The directors are responsible for preparing the Report of the DiTectors and the Financial Statements in
accordan¢e with applicable law and regulations.
Company Law rcquircs thc dircctors to prcparc Financial Statcmcnts for cach financial ycar. Undcr
the Law, the directors have elected to prepare the Financial Statements in accord5Lnce with United
Kingdoin Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and
Applicable Law). Under Company Law, the directors must not approve the Financial Statements
unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of the atTairs of the company
and of the income and expenditure of the company for that period. In preparing these Financial
Stateinents, the directors are required to..
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consisteiitly;
rnake judgenients and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

FIIYALYCIAL REVIEW
The financial results of the company are set out on pages 6 to 12 of the financial statements.
The directors regard the holding of reserves as important to the long-term operation of the Society, and
consider that an amount of between two and three times the average annual expenditure over the
preceding three year5 would enable the charity to continue its current activities in the event of a
significant drop in funding. The position will be reviewed each year and policies adopted as necessary
to replace Reserves and to amend activities to suit reduced income levels, should they arise.
PUBLIC BENEFIT
The charity is operated in accordance with the guidance issued by the charity commission on public
bcncfit.
DONATIONS
No political donations were made by the company during the period.
ACHIEVEMENTS & PERFORMANCE
The charity has continued the services provided in Previous years and has Produced a surplus for the
year.
This Report has been prepared in accordance with the Provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act
2006, relating to small companies.
