We are continuing to build back trade and the range of activities on offer. This means the centre is open longer so operating costs have risen, even though costs are being tightly controlled.

ACCOUNTS REPORT
ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025
We report on the accounts to the Charity for the year ended 31st March which are set out on pages 2 and 3.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and 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 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is our responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act
to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5) of the Charities Act and
to state whether particular matters have come to our attention
Basis of independent examiner's report
Our examination was carried out 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 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 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 our examination, no matter has come to our attention:
-
(i) which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the Act; and
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act have not been met; or
-
(ii) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
