The organisation is a charity and is governed under its constitution. The Directors are also the charity trustees for the purposes of charity law. All Directors give their time voluntarily and receive no benefits from the charity.
Our financial performance has been positive. Total income has increased due to the community response to the Covid pandemic and expenditure has also risen but finances have been managed to ensure that we have a surplus to cover ongoing needs. Capital expenditure was completed on the new offices.

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 31/03/24 , which are set out on pages 6 - 11.
Respective responsibilities of Directors and examiner
As the charity trustees (and also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law, and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts under section 65 of the Charities Act
-
follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the
-
Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act
-
state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
I have examined your charity accounts as required under section 65 of the Charities Act and my examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under section 65(9)(b) of the Charities Act. The examination included a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also included consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as charity trustees concerning any such matters.
My role is to state whether any material matters have come to my attention giving me cause to believe:
-
That accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006
-
That the accounts do not accord with those accounting records
-
That the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the 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
-
That there is further information needed for a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
Independent examiner’s statement
I have completed my examination and have no concerns in respect of the matters (1) to (4) listed above and, in connection with following the Directions of the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland, I have found no matters that require drawing to your attention.
