OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Public Benefit Objectives
The Purpose of Cliftonville Coinmunity Regeneration Foruin is to:
'Work for the social, economic and physical regeneration of the Cliftonville coininut]ity and to create the conditions for
the reinoval of the physical and mental barriers that divide us"
We have three key strategic outcoines which are..
Regeneralion:
Peace Building and Good Relations:
Children and Young People:
Oiir people have decent jobs and wages and a good standard of living
Our coininunity is peaceful, shared and divei'se
Our children and young people have the best start in life
Significant Activities and Achievements
The Cliftonville commiinity is located in the Waterworks ward which is according to the Northern li'eland Statistics and
Research Agency (NISRA) is the No.1 inost deprived wai'd in the North. This data is based on NISRA data froin 2017.
however, since then poveity levels have got worse.
Since this data was released wei-e have been hot by Covid-19 and then the Cost of Living Crisis. In terms of the claiinant
count - a proxy for the nuinber of people out of work - the figures for the Waterwoi'ks ward have risen by 440/0.
Homelessness is a inajor problem in this area. There is also a lack of good quality housing. Hoinelessness affects fainilies
biit also individuals and young people who have little chance of se¢ui'ing accominodation. We have 3 and even 4
generations of one fainily living in the same house. It is a world apart froin the leafy seinis with a large garden.
The area is also hoine to an increasing number of flats, aparttnents and low quality accommodation. The area ha5 a high
number of old 3 story pi'operties. These are easily turned into flats and HMOS (Housing in Multiple Occupation). There
is a high nuinber of low quality private landloi'd ac¢ominodation. There are notable exceptions. Soine private landlords
are pi'oactive in iinproving their properties. However, not all low quality accominodation is in the private sector. An
increasing nuiT]bei' of low quality hoiising is owned by social landloi'ds. Local residents who coinplain about poor quality
social housing are increasingly being told: 'What do you expect, its social housing"
Poor quality and ovei. crowded housing is a major conti'ibutor to low education attainment, stress, poor Inental health and
securing decent einployment opportunities. Millions of pound5 15 spend every yeai. in housing benefit in the Cliftonville
area. Very little of thai finds it way back to support either the I'edevelopinent of the pi'operties or regeneration of the local
ai'ea,
Econoinically, there are no large employei's in Ihe ai'ea and Ihei'e has been no investinent in any forin of econoinic
development in the area for decades. The cui'i'ent econoinic model does nol work foi. coininiinities such as the Cliftonville,

An alternative econoinic inodel which has einei-ged is called Coininunity Wealth Building. Coininunity Wealth

Wealth Building stops wealth leaving depi'ived ai'eas, siipporls Ihe local econoiny and places control and
benefits in the hands of local people. The development of the Cliftonvill¢ Coininunity Enterprise {below) will
Contribute to the building of cominunity wealth.
The last 12 Inonth pei'iod has been a particularly challenging one for developing good relations in North
Belfast. The iininediate period from April 2023 was very difficult as no budget had been agreed at Storinont
and none of our youth prograinmes wei'e able to operate. Detached and sessional youth work staff were placed
on hold while we waited for the oiitcoine of the budget decisions.
This is in the context of the Cost of Living crisis and some very experienced youth workei's decided that they
could no longer continue with the uncertainty of sessional paid youth work aiid took more stable jobs
elsewhere. The national minimuin wage also rose and this ineant we needed to inci'ease the houi'ly rate for
our detached and sessional youth workers against a back drop of a budget cuts.
Despite a nun)ber of low level incidents the suininer months of 2023 passed by wiihoiit any inajor incidents.
In Septe]￿ber 2023 an incident at a fun fayi'e close to Lidl's shopping centi'e at Hillview Road led to several
nights of tension, fighting and I'ioting. Although the incidents were resolved locally the young people wei'e
displaced to nearby Cliftonpai'k Avenue inlerface and Girdwood where the conflict continued.
PSNI iised 'Op Squallery,, a special PSNI opei'ation in the area. Incidents continued through to the end of
October. Deceinber 2023 wa5 quiet. however, low level tension and conflict re-appeared again after the
Christmas break.
Individuals, hoines and Cars wei'e attacked. Tensions continued into February 2024 when groups of young
people travelled on foot into nearby loyalist areas, posted photos of theinselves on social Inedia and
afterwards cars and homes on Agnes Street and Cliftonpark Avenue were attacked.
In late February 2024 it wa5 claiined that up to 80-100 young people were at the interface soine attacking
hoines. From Septeinber 2023-March 2024 tliere have been 76 nights of tension, arranged fights and conflict
at Girdwoodlcliftonpark Avenue. This lias involved 103 incidents involving assaults, criminal dainage and
anti-social behaviour. Whtle not all these incidents have been Inotivated by sectarian hate criine soine of
these iiicidents are.
One incident included an attack on the hoine of a local coinrnunity worker. Later the saiiie workei. was
physically attacked and injui'ed after being Iiit wiih a concrete block.
According to one PSNI officer. As a result of these incidents (at Cliftonpark Aveniie), police officers have
spent considerable periods of titne at the interface. This has often taken the forii) of static poltce patrols
waiting at the interface to prevent youihs attending or returning to the location for fuither violence.
'Several youth5 have been arrested and a larger number have received a recorded criininal justice disposal as
a result of ci'iminal behavioiir. This interface has easily been the tnost active and ti'oublesoine in north Belfast
in this period. The next Inost active, Carlisle Cii'ciis I Clifton Street, is directly linked to this intei'face as the
yoiiths, moveinent is often tracked between the two - one interface goes quiet as both groups of youths Inove
to the other"
The PSNI have identified 44 young people who are involved in anti-social beliaviour, Criininal damage and
physical assaults at this and othei. interfaces in North Belfast. They al'e cui'i'ently woi'king with social services,
Youth Justice Agency, the Housing Execiitive, housing associations, local schools and youth and cominunity
organisations to addi'ess these issues.

Report of the Tru5tee5
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Despite these event5 there contiiiues to be a high level of engagement of young people at Girdwood, Cliftonpark Avenue
and across the area. Soine of the young people involved in tension and conflict at the interface are froin the local and
surroiinding aieas (Cliftonville, New Lodge, Shankill, Ardoyne). However, many young people are travelling fi'oin
Glengormley, paits of West Belfast and even North Down.
The problem is that a transient group of disengaged youth seein to be main cause of issues. A way needs to be found to
engage these young people. It is likely that inany of these young people face underlying issues.our good relations woi'k
does not take place in a vacuum. It takes place on tough tei'rain where it is difficiilt to sustain. It takes place in the context
of physical dereliction aiid acute poverty and disadvantage. Physically the area around Girdwood and Cliftonpark A venue
is characterised by a lack of developinent with derelict and vacant land on each side the interface. In the evenings thi5
becoines a playground for i'ecreational activity which creates tension, anti-social behavioui. and sometiines rioting.
The area is also characlerised by high levels of povety, deprivation, Inental health, lack of education attainment, and lack
of positive roles Inodels for our young people. The hopelessness amongst young people has inci'eased. We need long tenn
I'egeneration work which Can address these issues and provide a more fertile ground for our good relations work.
We are working with young people who have Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE). According lo a Queen's University
report on mental health in Nl {October, 2020).. 'There was a clear association with deprivation, with young people in the
least deprived ai'eas inore likely to have expei'ienced no ACES compared to those in the most deprived (59.90/0 vs 36.00/0)
This means that childi'en, young people and their fainilies are living in what health professionals have referred to as
'Chronically Unsafe Comtnunity Environinents These issues lake place in a context whei'e armed gangs reinain active
and organised crime gangsldrug gangs target and exploit disadvantaged coininunities.

Cliftonville Enter
rise Centre
Iii January 2024 we re¢¢ived word that we had secui'ed funding £1.45 million to build the Cliftonville Community
Entery)I'ise to act as a catalyst for the regeneration of this ai'ea.
The funding from Belfast City Coiincil's Neighboiirhood Regeneration Fund will see the building of a 8,000 square feet
social enterprise oli Cliftonpai'k Avenue with a 2-story childcare facility and 8 workspace units.
This Centre aims to pi'ovide employment and training opportunities for local people and to support thein into einployinent
and business. This will help to create a pathway for i'esidents into einployinent through child care jobs and thi'ough a
process of leaiming, Inaking, and selling. Cliftonville Coininunity Foi'um has woi'ked to delivei. this project foi. a nuinber
of years.
Along with oui- coininurkity development work, peace building work and youth work we always knew thal this area needed
Inore support to help people into ti'aining and einployinent. We have always pi'ovided training to increase people's skills
and have helped many people secure employment.
This new centre will give lis a purpose-biiilt facility where we can do this on a larger scale. When the new centre is up
and I'unning it will ci'eate 30 jobs on the site as well as other jobs thi'ough ti'aining. We will engage with thi'ee groiips of
people in the local coininunity.. i) long lerm unemployed male5, ii) woinen living in poverty and iii) young people froin
disadvantaged fainilies.
We opened a Pop-up café in Girdwood in Deceinber 2023. Called New Gi-ound Coffee - the naine came fi'oin the yoiing
people trained as baristas. It was a play on cross coininunity woi'k and coffee.
The pop-up cafe aimed at empowering oiii. local youth by providing them with valuable skills and a pathway into the
world of work. The young faces behind the countei. have undergone a comprehensive training progi'ain covering
enlerpi'ise, barista skills, first aid, food hygiene, manual handling, health and safety, and ciistoiner care.

We began oui. Peace Building/Good Relations work in April 2023 in the context no functioiiing Nl Executive and with
civil servants not having agreed to a budget to enable cominiinity and youth organisations to deliver good relations
prograinines on the ground.
The Cost of Living Crisis meant that costs foi- transport, I'efi'eshinents, equip]￿ent, staff was increasing by 30-400/0 while
we had no biidget. The delay was no just one month but froin April to July 2023. In this context the Trustees of Clifionville
CoEninunity Regeneration Forum look the decision to 'work at risk, provide the essential yoiith woi'k good relations
progi'ainines in the liope that govei'niment would eventually release a budget. When the budget was eveiitually released it
was cut by IOQ/o.
Despite many difficulties the good relations programme foi. 2023124 was delivered by our dedicated staff. 2023124 saw
us deliver a range of youth activities, projects, cross-coininunity tripslresidentials and team building events to ensui'e that
the Girdwood Youth Space is a safe, shared space for all local young people.

The Iinagine Peace Barriers Pi-oject is a cross cominunity partnership with Lower Oldpark Community Association, In
Januaiy 2024 we began a consultation process with the loca cominunity on both sides of the intei'face to find out their
views on concept plans to build a Shared Space Project which will remove part of the interface on Cliftonpark Avenue.
The consultation exercise aiined at finding out what local residents, political representatives and governinent agencie5
working in the area think about the concept plans. The concept designs includ¢ a soft play area for children and a cafe
area. It will have multi-purpose rooins. a climbing zone and retail units. There will also be special Changing Places toilels
for children with special requiremenls.
There are two basic concepts and the plan would effectively replace a section of the interface wall which runs from
Cliftonpark Avenue up towards Manor Sti'eet. Men)bei's of the project teain went door to door explaining the project, we
also held a number of afternoon and evening meetings to allow local residents to express iheir views.
A meeting with also held with political representatives froin across North Belfast including the MP, MLAS and local
councillors.
Reflecting the ongoing conflict at Girdwood and ihe interface local i'esidents expre55ed fear5 of the anti-social behavioui.
and fighting at the interface. In response the project went back oiit dooi'_to-door providing local residents with fridge
magnets with the contacts to report incidenls to the PSNI and the local coinmiinity. The ci'oss coininllnity project is also
working with a cross coininunity women's group and a men's gi'oup aroiind inteiface issues.

ect
The delay in receiving The Executive Office Fuiiding had a direct I'esiilted in a delay in our services being delivered. The
sessions wei'e on hold for the Inonth of April and so we were unable to begin delivering oui. prograinines until June 2023.
This delay causes a disi'iipiion in the consistency of working with young people on a regular basis. The inability to
continue a I'elationship with yoiing people causes issues as young people disengage fi'oin the project or move on to
alternative sei'vices. Soine of the young people who disengaged diiring this period have still not i'eturned to our provision
l O Inonihs later.
Thi5 also had an impact on the lack of sessional workei's throughout the Inonth of April/May 2023 also. The inability to
offer paid work has resiilted in experienced staff having to find alteriiative employment in the hospitality industry where
work is guaranteed.
The loss of staff results in a loss of specialised knowledge of our coininiinities, the young people within it, links to their
faniilies as well as the barriers they face.
Loosing experienced staff that have been with the project since being participants has had a great impact. These staff have
a unique undei'standing of what it is like to be a participant, the barriers young people face and an iindei'standing of the
coininunities we work in. We continue to bring in youth leaders and provide thein with Inentoring, traiiiing and hands on
experience, but we find staff who have grown within the projects inethodology to be ii'i'eplaceable to an extent. As a
sector, we need to do more to ensure tliese staff have job secui'ity and show that the skills and experience they bl'ing al'e
valued.
Oiir youth developinent worker (funded elsewhere), who cooi'dinates this prograinine, was off on inaternity leave and has
only rettirned 6 Inonlhs into tlie pi'ogi'ainine. Reci'uitmenl was an issue as it was a inaternity post and the lack of job
secui'ity resulted in a sinall intake of applicants, Inany of which lacked the qualifications stated in the job desci'iption.
This had a deep impact on the project diiring the fii'st quarter without a key person lo seek altei'native funding to keep ihe
project i'unning again has also attributed to tlie delivery of the pi'ograi)Iine.

Children and Young People Activilies continued
Once sessions were reintroduced. our detached workers were back on the streets. Throughout the Suminer the area was
quiet in i'egards to tensions at ihe interfaces and organised fights. Suininei. caine and went through the cont¢ntioiis dates
which we usually anticipate when issues may arise.
However, over the month of Septeinber, tensions around the Girdwood interface begun to rise. We noted a rise in young
people ti'av¢ling to ihe area, many not froin the local cominunity, to Cause anti-social behaviour and attend arranged fights.
Police presence increased at the interface as a result. Also the gates to Gii'dwood Community Hub were locked in the
evenings at 8pm causing a physical barri¢r between young people. Many young people we engage in oui. programines
felt they were being shiit out and unwelcome, which is the opposite of what we are tiying to achieve by engaging young
people on oui. progi'amines.
As a result, youth workers began to walk groups through the interface, however young people fainilies were unhappy that
Ihe gate between Girdwood Community Hub and Lower Oldpark entrance was not a¢¢essible.
They felt unsafe walking through what they referred to as 'the Catholic entrance,. A reoccurring feeling we have been
trying to dispel is young people feeling like they al'e treated differently due to which side of the coininunity they live on.
These conversations often lead to othei. topics which Éhey feel a similar way for, for exainple, housing and ediication
which young people have expressed a difference depending on what religious coininunity you coine froin or area you
live.
Our model of engagement continues to shape our approach to engage in young people. Detached and Outreach work is
the initial grassi'oots stages of engaging with young people on the streets and in an environinent whei'e ihey are
coillfortable. This is whei'e our street-based youth work staff would come into contact with inost young people in particulai.
those who are hanging around interfaces or parks or slreets.
Dela¢hed youth work is an asset to both our youth project and the local Coinmunity. The advantage of engaging young
people in the local area, identifying barriei's to engageinent, needs of the young people as w¢ll as building relationships
with local residents and other youth providers.
However, when there are issues at interfaces, youth workers are often used as a means to 'police' young people especially
when anti-social behavioui. oi. rioting is taking place. This has an iinpact on how young people see youth woi'kers and can
have a negative effect on our ability to engage.
Tlie ability lo forin a relationshÈp with young people is based on trust, and froin this a positive relationship can foi'in
which can often lead to engaging thein in further oppoituiiities to suppoit their developinent or helping ihein realise the
negative iinpact theti. behaviours can have on the commiinity.
Through detached the inain issues identified are..
Anti-social behaviour
Sectarian behavioiii.
Organised fights and riots
Sexualised behaviour
Druglalcohol consuinption
We found that young feinales are Inore likely to engage in centre-based work than youiig males and have ali increased
likelihood to engage in i-isk-taking behavioui's. We understand that not all yoiing people have an interest in engaging in
structiired prograinines, however, we do feel il is iiiiportant that our youih workers are able to consult with thein and
encourage thein to coine up with ideas that tliey would like lo see available to them so create a sense of ownership.

Our shai'ed drop-ins is a safe space where young people feel they belong. They can look forward to each weekly session
and this can have a deep impact on how they see themselves and how they look towards their future. They have access to
role models in the forin of youth workers, voluiiteers and their peers which they may not have had at hoine. We have

Over the last few yeai's has been being a Miim.
Up until l joined the Personal Youth Development Programrne (PYDP) Iny kids were my only fociis but since joining the

join PYDP has enlightened Ine and also shown Jne that my needs can also be a priority.
I ain so grateful for this experience, not only to help boost iny confidence but it has given me the desire to get back into
education and set new goals for our future. I'in now foclised on learning to drive, aiining to try and gain inore qaiilifi¢ations
and maybe tiy to start a cai'eer in politics.
Joining PYDP has been an ainazing expei'ience so far, meeting beaiitiful, wonderful and inspiring woinen, covering a
range of topics and activities that have helped us con)e out of our shells and porgress to oiir full potential.
I didn't know prograinines like this existed, l am so thankfiil for it and to everyone who has been involved in the
pi'ograinine! Making friends along the way has Inade the experience even inore enjoyable than I had initally hoped foi.. I
would highly i-ecoininend this oppurtunity to any young pei'son. There is nothing stopping you froin reaching your goals

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Cliftonville Community Regeneration
Forum (formerly Cliftonville Community
Regeneration Forum Limited)
Opinion
We have audited ihe financial statements of Cliftonville Cominiinity Regeneration Forum (forinerly Cliftonville
Coininunity Regeneration Forum Limited) (the '¢haritable coillpany,) foi. the year ended 31 March 2024 which coinprise
the Statement of Financial Activities, the Balance Sheet, the Cash Flow Statement and notes to the financial stateinents,
including a suininary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framewoi'k that has been applied in their
preparation is applicable law and Uniled Kingdom Accounting Standards (Uniled Kingdom Genei'ally Accepted
Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial stateinents..
give a true and fair view of the state of the charitable coinpany's affairs as at 31 March 2024 and of its incoining
resoui'¢es and application of resoui'ces, including its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
have been properly prepai'ed in accordance with United Kingdoin Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requii'einenls of th¢ Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted oui. audit in accordance with Inlemational Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISA5 (UK)) and applicable law.
Our responsibilities under those standai-ds are furthei. described in the Auditors, responsibilities for the audit of ihe
finaiicial stateinents section of our i'eport. We are independent of the charitable coinpany in accordance with the ethical
requirements ihat are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC'S Ethical Standard,
and we have fulfilled oui- other ethical i'esponsibilities in accordan¢e with these requirements. We believe that the audit
evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing th¢ financial stateinents, we have concluded that the trustees, use of the going concern basi5 of accounting in
tlie preparation of the financial stateinents is appropriate.
Based on the work we have perfonned, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions
that, individually oi. collectively, may cast significant doubt on the charitable company's ability to continue as a going
concern for a period of at least twelve inonths fi'om when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant
sections of this report.
Other information
The ti'ustees al'e i'esponsible for the other inforination. The otlier information coinprises the infonnation included in the
Annual Repoit, other than the financial statements and oui. Report of the Jndependent Auditors thereon.
Our opinion on the financial stateinents does not cover the other inforination and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly
stated in oiir report, we do not express any fonn of assurance conclusion thei'eon.
In connection with our audit of the financial stateinents, oui. responsibility 15 to read the other infoi'mation and, in doing
so, consider whether the other inforination is inaterially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge
obtained in the audit or othenvise appeal's to be inaterially Inisslated. If we identify such inatei'ial inconsistencies or
apparent inaterial inisstateinents, we are required to deterinine whether this gives i'ise to a inaterial misstatement in the
financial slatements theinselves. If, based on the work we have perfoi'ined, we conclude that thei'e is a material
Inisstaten)ent of this othei. information, we al'e i'equired to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matter5 prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit..
Ihe infoi'ination given in the Report of the Trustees for the financial year for which the financial slalements are prepared
is consistent with ihe financial stateinenls. and
the Repoi't of the Trustees has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal i'equireinents.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Cliftonville Community Regeneration
Forum (formerly Cliftonville Community
Regeneration Forum Limited)
Matters on Ivhich we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the chai'itable ¢oinpany and it5 environment obtained in the course of
the audit, we have not identified material inisstateinents in the Report of the Trustees.
W¢ have nothing to I'eport in respect of the following mattel's where the Coinpanies Act 2006 requii'es us to report to you
if, in oiir opinion:
adequate accounting records have not been kept or returns adequate for our audit have not been received froin branches
not visited by us; or
the financial statements are not in agreeinent with the accounting records and returns. or
certain disclosures of Irustees, reiniineration specified by law are not made. or
we have not received all the inforination and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of trustees
As explained Inoi'e fully in the Stateinent of Tru5tees' Responsibilities, the Irustees (who are also the directors of the
charitable company foi. the purposes of ¢ompany law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and
for being satisfied that they give a triie and fair view, and for such internal control as the ti'ustees deterinine is necessary
to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from inaterial misstateinent, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees al'e i'esponsible for assessing the charitable coinpany's ability to continiie
as a going concei'n, disclosing, as applicable, matters I'elated to going concern and using the going Concern basis of
accounting unless the trustees either inlend to liquidate the charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic
alternative but to do 50.
Oui. responsibilities for the audit of the flnancial statements
Our objectives al'e to obtain i'easonable assurance about whether the financial stateinents as a whole are free from Inaterial
Inisstatement, whether due to fraud oi. eri'oi., and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assui'an¢e, but is not a guarantee that an audit condiicted in accoi'dance with ISAS
(UK) will always detect a inatei'ial inisstatement when il exists. Misstateinents can arise froin fraud or error and are
considered inatei'ial if, individually or in the aggi'egate, they could reasonably be expected lo influence the econoinic
decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial stateinents.
The extent to which our procedui'es are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
In assessing and detecting irregularities such as fraud and non-coinplaince with law5 and regulations we considered the
following..
the inattei's discussed ainong the aiidit engageinent teain and any other relevant professionals regarding how and
whei'e fraud Inight occiir in the finaiicial statements and any potential indicatoi's of fraud.
the natui'e of the industry and any laws and I'egulalions applicable to the organisation and the induslry.
the organisation's own assessinent of the risk of fraud and other irregularities.
organisation's policies and procedures in relation to:
how they identify and coinply with all i'elevani laws and i'egulations and whethei. they are aware of any
non-compliance
how they detect and respond to risks of fraud and their knowledge of any actual, suspected oi. alleged
control environinent within the coinpany and how this Initigates risks of fraud and instances of non-
compliance with laws and iegulations.
As a result of these pi'ocedures, we coiisidered the oppoitunities and incentives that iiiay exist within the organisation foi.
fi?ud and identifted the gi'eatest potential for fi'aud in relation to asset valuations. In coininon with all audits undei. ISAS
(UK), we are also i'equired to pei'form specific procedures to respond to the risk of inanageinent oveiyide.
14

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Cliftonville Community Regeneration
Forum (formerly Cliftonville Community
Regeneration Forum Limited)
In response to the risk of irregiilarities and non-compliance with laws and regulalions, we designed procedures which
included, but were not liinited to:
ensu¥ing the engageinent teain had the appropriate knowledge and experlise in order to be able to identifiy
and recognise any instances of fraud or non-coinpliance with laws and regulations.
ensui'ing the audit was cai'i'ied out with a level of pi'ofessional scepticism.
agreeing the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting docuinentation to assess coinpliance
with relevant laws and regulations.
enquii'ing of manageinent concerns of actual and potential litigation and claims;
performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual oi. unexpected I'elationships that may indicate risks
of material Inisstateinent diie to fraud.
reviewing correspondence with HMRC and other relevant regulators and the coinpany's legal advisors.
in addressing the risk of fraud through manageinent override of controls, testing the appropriateness ofjouimal
entries and other adjustments; assessing whetlier the judgements inade in inaking accounting estiiiiates al'e
indicative of a potential bias; and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are
unusual or outside the nonnal course of business.
We also coininunicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team Inembers
and reinained alert to any indications of fraud or noncompliance with laws and regulations thi'oughout the audit.
There are inherent liinitations in our audit procedures described above. The more reinoved that laws and regulations are
from financial transactions, tlie less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standai'ds also
limit the audit procedures required to identify non-coinpliance with laws and i'egulations to enquiry of the trustees and
other manageinent and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.
Matei'ial lnisstatei￿entS that arise due to fraud can be hai'der to delect than those that arise froin error as they may involve
deliberate concealment or collusion.
A furthei. description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial stateinents is located on the Financial Reporting
Council's website at www.fi'c.oi'g.uklauditorsresponsibilitie5. This description fonns part of our Report of the Independent
Auditors.
Use of our report
This repoit is inade solely to ihe chai'itable compaiiy's meinbers, as a body, in accoi-dance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of
the Companies Act 2006. Oui. audit woi-k has been undertaken so that we might state to the charitable coinpany's inembers
those inatters we are required to state to them in an auditors, report and foi. no other piirpose. To the fullest extent permitted
by law, we do not accept or assuine responsibility to anyone other than the chai'ilable coinpany and the charitable
con)pany's ineinbers as a body, for our audit work, for this report, oi. for the opinions we have foiined.
