**THE BURY SPEAKEASY CLUB**
## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020**
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 December 2020. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
The Bury Speakeasy Club operates under the name "Speakeasy".
## **OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES**
## **Objectives and aims**
Speakeasy's objectives tend to be similar year on year as our core business of supporting people with aphasia remains unchanged.
Additionally we are operating in an uncertain environment which also means we are not able to plan for the long term and some of our objectives need to be focused on managing this situation and ensuring we can react quickly and accordingly if required. If we manage to secure significant funding for a period of three to five years then our offer may change significantly.
## **Activities**
We layer activities onto our basic services offering a wider range of member requested and member led activities to facilitate ongoing development of communication skills, confidence and community participation whilst improving quality of life with aphasia.
Annually we offer purposeful trips as appropriate, AGM, a Christmas lunch and our aphasia conference.

- congenital defect) has communication problems

## **FINANCIAL REVIEW**
## **Reserves policy**
Our policy on cash reserves continues to be the maintenance of at least six months operating costs on deposit as a buffer in the event that our funding / income sources cease.
The trustees have always recognised that the sources of income are ad-hoc or at best subject to a periodic review, and often subject to periodic qualification; all with the potential to cease with little-to-no prior notice, with subsequent impact to reserves.
These characteristics sit alongside an understanding on the part of the trustees that the members, staff and grant-makers require some continuity; the financial buffer is essential in allowing the trustees adequate time to formulate appropriate contingency plans, should they be required.
## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT**
## **Governing document**
The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust and constitutes an unincorporated charity.
The governing document is the constitution adopted 23 January 1985 and amended 24 April 1989.

## **INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEES OF THE BURY SPEAKEASY CLUB**
## **Independent examiner's report to the trustees of The Bury Speakeasy Club**
I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of The Bury Speakeasy Club (the Trust) for the year ended 31 December 2020.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ('the Act').
I report in respect of my examination of the Trust's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or
3. the accounts do 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.
