## **Puriton Playing Field Committee** 

Reg. Charity No. 296549 

## ANNUAL REPORT 

The Charity has continued to thrive, despite losing at least one hirer due to traffic disruption in the area. 

However, our outlay is considerable, mainly due to utility costs and the upkeep of the building and open spaces. Drainage issues continue to plague us. We also urgently need to recruit more committee members to help run the Charity. 

Puriton Bowling Club continues to grow, with more new, active members. Victoria Park Rangers junior football club held another very successful tournament. The Sports Centre continues to be a hub for local archery clubs. Unfortunately, the café is no longer operating.

INDEPENDENT EXAMtNER'S REPORT
ON THE ACCOUNTS FOR THE YEAR TO 31 DECEMBER 2024
To (he TnLslees ofihe Puriton Playing Field Commillee (Chartiy No. 296549)
The Trustees of the Association are resFrf)nsible for the pre￿ration of the accounts.
The Trustees consider that an audit is not required for thi's year under Section 144 of
the Charities Act 2011 (the Act) and that an indqKndent examinatioD is needed
It is my restx)nsibility as an 1nde￿ndtTht Examiner appointed by th¢ Trustees to
examine the accounts under sects.on 145 of the Acty to follow the procedures laid
down in the general Dir¢ctions given by th¢ Charity Commissioners under Section
145(5Mb) of the Ad and to state whether tArticular matters have come to my
attenlion.
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by
the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records
kept by the Association and a comparison of the accounts presented Nvith those
records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the
accounts, and seeking explanations 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 ￿Ven as to whether the accounts present a 'ts￿e and fair"
view and the rep)rt is limil¢d to ihose mall¢ts srf out in Ihe slatem¢nt t￿low.
In conn¢rtion with my eXaMi￿tiO[L no Matter has corne to my attention."
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that xo any material respect, th¢
requirements
to keep accounting r￿ordS in awordance with sectton 130 of the Act. and
to prepare accounts which accord ￿th the accounting recor(Ls and comply
ith the r¢quir¢m¢nts of the Act
have not be¢n mct. or
to whiclL Èn my opinioo attention should be drawn in order to enable a proF¢r
understanding of the accounts to be reache
