Report to the Members on the Unaudited Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31st December 2025
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 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 Act,
-
- to follow precedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 145(5)(b) of the Charities Act), and
-
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner's Statement
My examination was carried out in accordance with 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 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.
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 Charities Act; - to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act have not been met; or
-
(2) to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enabie a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

4. Principal Accounting Policies
Basis of preparation of accounts
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with applicable United Kingdom accounting standards, the Statement of Recommended Practice, “Accounting and Reporting by Charities", issued on 1st January 2015.
Fund accounting
Unrestricted funds are available for use at the discretion of the trustess to help achieve the objectives of the charity. These funds have not been designated for other purposes. Costs that are not related to a Restricted fund are set against Unrestricted income.
Restricted funds are to be used in accordance with the restrictions placed upon them by the donors. Restricted funds may also include funds raised by the charity for a particular purpose. Any costs associated with the administering or raising of such funds are set against the specific fund.
Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised whena liability is incurred. Contractual arrangements and performance related grants are recognised as goods and services are supplied. Other grant payments are recognised when a constructive obligation arises that result in payment being unavoidable.
Charitable activities include both the direct and support costs relating to those activities.
Governance costs include those incurred in the governance of the charity and its assets and are primarily associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Incoming resources
Investment income is recognised on a receivable basis.
Income from charitable activities includes income received under a contract or where entitlement to grant funding is subject to specific conditions is recognised as earned (as the related goods or services provided).
Grant income included in this category provides funding to support centre activities and is recognised where there is entitlement, certainty of receipt and the amount measured with sufficient reliability.
Funds structure
The charity holds restricted income funds to account for situations where a donor requires that a donation must be spent on a particular purpose or where funds have been raised for a specific purpose.
All other funds are unrestricted income funds.
