Year ended 31 March 2023

I report on the accounts of the company for the year ended 31 March 2023 which are set out on pages 10 to 18.

Respective responsibilities of trustees 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 (Northern Ireland) 2008;

• 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; and

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 includes 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:

  1. That accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006

  2. That the accounts do not accord with those accounting records

  3. 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.

  4. That there is further information needed for a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

10. Contingent liabiliities

The charity has received grants and funding from various public bodies and funding groups subject to certain conditions and criteria. Any breach of these conditions could bring about circumstances under which such grants and funds (or part thereof) would become liable to be repaid to the awarding organization.

Due to the nature of these contingencies, it is not possible to quantify with reasonable accuracy the potential financial effect or the expected timing of any such liabilities that would arise

The trustees are of the opinion that possibility of such circumstances arising is remote.

11. Related party transactions

There were no transactions with related parties that require disclosure under SORP 2015 (FRS 102).

12. Tax status

The company is a registered charity and will be exempt from corporation tax on any income or capital gains arising. The charity tax reference number is XR55097.

13. Company limited by guarantee

The company is limited by guarantee and therefore there is no issued share capital. Every member of the company undertakes to contribute to the assets of the company in the event of it being wound up during a period in which they are still a member of the company, including a period of one year from the date that they ceased to be a member, providing the debts were incurred during their period as a member of the company or the debt relates to costs and expenses of a winding up.

The liability of each member in such circumstances is limited to £1.
