## HAMSTEAD SOCIAL WELFARE CENTRE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES for the Year Ended 31 MARCH 2025
## STATEMENT OF TRUSTEES RESPONSIBILITIES
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Report of the Trustees and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to
- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent: - prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in business.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charity and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Charities Act 2011. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
- there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company's accountants are unaware; and - the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.

**----- End of picture text -----**
## BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
Our 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 statement below.
## INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
**----- Start of picture text -----**
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention.
1 which gives us 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
**----- End of picture text -----**
