The Harenc Community Trust Charity Registration Number 288051
Annual report for the year ended 25[th] November 2025
This has been a successful year for the charity with stable investment income, a slight drop in grants made, and a significant increase in the value of the investment portfolio. Our main beneficiaries have been St. Johns Church (Sidcup larder security), Hope School (improvements to playground area), CRIBS (a local Christian charity working in Bexley schools) and Sidcup Debt Advice. We continue to collaborate with other local charities, in particular St. Lawrences Charitable fund in supporting low income and vulnerable people in our area, and joint fund the Sidcup Christmas Luncheon (with Sidcup rotary). We have made two grants to support local scout groups.
Our proposed changes to our charitable objectives have been approved by the Charity Commission which expands our area of benefit to the whole of London Borough of Bexley and should expand the number of grant requests we receive.

Independent Examiners report
Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of The Harenc Community Trust
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 25 November 2025.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (as amended). The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10(1) (d) of the 2006 Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts as required under section 44(1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations. An examination includes a 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 seeks 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner’s statement
In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention [other than disclosed below*]
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 44(1) (a) of the 2005 Act and Regulation 4 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
-
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations
have not been met, or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
