**TRUSTEES REPORT (continued)**
## **YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024**
## **Financial Activities**
The charity made a surplus of £8,779 compared with a deficit of £13,071 in 2023. £8,275 was paid to the school (2023- £45,343) to fund various activities as discussed and agreed with the school. The summer fair raised over £9,000 and the new half termly bake sales made over £2,600. Sadly due to no organising committee the friends were unable to hold the Summer Party which has historically generated signficant funds for the charity.
## **Future Plans**
The year to 2025 continues to be a great fundraising year with a full year of events planned and £15,000 has already been donated to the school for the new Year 6 block.
## **Reserves Policy**
The Charity aims to keep reserves in the region of £10,000, sufficient to cover the expenditure required in advance of events held throughout the year. At the year end, the charity had an accumulated surplus of £26,991 (2023 - £18,212). The trustees intend that the free reserves should principally be used to provide additional resources for each key stage.
## **Going Concern**
The Trustees have a reasonable expectation that the charity has adequate resources to continue operational existence for the foreseeable future. For that reason the Trustees continue to adopt the going concern bases of accounting in preparing these financial statements.
## **Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities**
Charity law requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a
- select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
- state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Trust will continue.
The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose, with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the Trust.
The Trustees acknowledge their responsibility to take due care of the funds under their stewardship.

## **FRIENDS OF THE RALEIGH (SURREY)**
## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE FRIENDS OF THE RALEIGH (SURREY)**
## **YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2024**
I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of Friends of the Raleigh (Surrey) (the charity) for the year ended 31 July 2024.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the charity’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the charity as required by section 130 of the Act; or
- 2 the accounts do not accord with those records; or
- 3 the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of the accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of the independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
