A summary of the objects of the charity as set out in its governing document. 

## **OBJECTS** 

a) The Council is established for charitable objects and purposes only. 

b) In particular, the Council is established to promote to the benefit of the inhabitants of Saffron Lane Estate and its environs, without distinction of age, sex, race, political or religious or an other opinions, by associating the statutory authorities, voluntary organisations, institutions, businesses and inhabitants in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for health, recreation and leisure time occupation, with the object of improving conditions of life for the inhabitants; and to promote all or any objects for the benefit of the community which now or hereafter may be deemed by law to be charitable.

Saffron Acres is an environmental project situated on a once neglected twelve acre site, just around the corner from the Resource Centre. This project centres on food growing, giving opportunities to allow individuals to grow themselves out of poverty. It is also the home of the award winning and highly successful Saffron Acres Jam providing real life work opportunities for young adults with learning difficulties. 

## **Saffron Heath** 

The idea of Saffron Heath was born in 2009 out of frustration over the lack of affordable housing being built in the area when there was an abundance of disused land. The Senior Development Worker spent the next five years developing partnerships that allowed the charity to asset transfer 13 acres of land from Leicester City Council to build 68 affordable rented Eco homes. This £10.5 million project not only brought new homes and jobs, but also allowed us to open up 6 acres of new green space for public access.

Report of the Independent Examiners Report on the Accounts Saffron Lane Neighbourhood Council 

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 Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. 

It is my responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities 2011 Act, 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under , and 

- section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act, and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 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. 

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  the Charities Act; and 

- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the methods and principles of 

- the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities 

2. to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
