ALLEN HOUSE GROUNDS

ANNUAL REPORT

1 APRIL 2021 TO 31 MARCH 2022

This paper constitutes the annual report of Allen House Grounds (the Grounds) Attached to the report are:
the accounts for 2021-22 (Appendix 1)
The Grounds is an open walks and sports pavilion gifted to the Borough by Jane Ellen Broad on September 1,1914.
The ground is on a lease to Matrix Trust to manage for the physical well-being of the young people in the Borough on a nominal fee, shown as rent in the accounts.
The rental income is not sufficient for the up- keep of the Grounds, hence the donations of seventeen thousand, sixt hundred and sixteen pounds £17,616, (£6,108 2020/21) by the Trustees, Guildford Borough Council.
The Charity employs no staff. The Senior Financial Reporting Accountant, the Capital, Assets and Treasury Accountant, the Administrative Assistant from Legal and Democratic Services and the Civic Secretary provide administration support.
The accounts for 2021-22 are set out in Appendix 1. The donations in 202122 included a £17,616 donation from Guildford Borough Council.
It is clear there is a continued need for assistance, and we are pleased to be able to help. Most of the Charity’s income comes from donations and I take the opportunity given by this report to thank those individuals and organisations who have so generously donated.

Respective The charity's trustees are responsible for the preparation of the responsibilities of accounts in accordance with the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). trustees and examiner

The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Act and that an independent examination is needed.

It is my responsibility to:

examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act,
to follow the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Act, and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention

Basis of independent My examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions examiner’s statement given by the Charity Commission. 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 seeking 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 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.

APPENDIX 2

Independent examiner's In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to statement my attention (other than that disclosed below *) which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect:

the accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charities Act; or
the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or
the accounts did not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of 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 an 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.

Please delete the words in the brackets if they do not apply.
