## TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES 

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 March 2025 

Law applicable to charities in England and Wales requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the charity’s activities during the year and of its financial position at the end of the year. ln preparing financial statements giving a true and fair view, the trustees should follow best practice and 

- Select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently. 

- Make judgements and estimates which are reasonable and prudent. 

- State whether applicable accounting standards and statements of recommended practice have been followed, subject to any departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements. 

- Prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in operation. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy the financial position of the charity and which enable them both to ascertain the financial position of the charity and to ensure that the financial statements comply with applicable law, regulations and trust deeds. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
