No Trustee had any beneficial interest in any contract with the Charity during the year.
## REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES
The Trustees have continued to receive donations under the Gift Aid Scheme during the year together with other donations and a small amount of interest on deposits. The income received has been donated predominantly to various charities and individuals involved in Christian Ministry, both in the UK and overseas. The Trustees look to relieve poverty and advance the Christian faith and social benefit, wherever possible. The Trust’s interests in property are occupied by retired or currently active Christian workers.
## FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
The Trustees will continue to support the work of Charities, voluntary organisations and individuals.
## SUMMARY OF INVESTMENT POWERS
The Trustees may invest trust moneys in stocks, funds, shares and securities or other investments or property (real or personal) of whatever nature and wheresoever situate.

## **Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of The Wootton Grange Charitable Trust**
I report on the accounts of the Settlement for the year ended 31 March 2021 which are set out on pages 6 to 8.
## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner**
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to:
• examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act
• to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the commission under section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act
• to state whether particular matters have come to my attention
## **Basis of independent examiner’s report**
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 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 you as 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 next statement.
## **Independent examiner’s statement**
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
(1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
• to keep accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Act and
• to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the 2011 Act have not been met or
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
**Signed………………………………………. Sue Wintle (Independent Examiner)**
