Due to a number of unforeseen circumstances and issues that have arisen, we have not been able to get the organiza�on off the ground over the past year. As a result, we have not opened a dedicated bank account on behalf of the charity, nor have we been able to carry out any of the charitable acts and ini�a�ves we had intended. This is a disappoin�ng situa�on, and one that remains out of our control. The Friendly Faces Children’s Charity board of Trustees is working diligently to resolve these issues and hopefully launch the organiza�on in the coming year. We remain commi�ed to our mission of Friendly Faces Children’s Charity and are determined to establish the charity as soon as possible. Please be assured that we are doing everything in our power to rec�fy the situa�on and get Friendly Faces Children’s Charity opera�onal. We look forward to being able to serve our community in the future. _________________________________ Trevor King Chair 4 _Friendly Faces Children’s Charity Charity Number: 108655_ ## TRUSTEES ANNUAL REPORT for year ended 31st December 2024 ended 31[st] December 2024. ## **Objec�ves and Ac�vi�es** Friendly Faces Children’s Charity was started with the principals of the advancement of educa�on, relief from poverty in India, Hai� and Romania.

The company's directors consider that an audit is not required for this financial year under Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006 and that an independent examina�on is required. It is our responsibility to: - - follow the procedures laid down by the general Direc�ons given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under sec�on 65(9)(b) of the Chari�es Act; and - state whether par�cular ma�ers have come to our a�en�on. ## **Basis of independent examiner's report** examina�on was carried out in accordance with the general Direc�ons given by the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland under sec�on 65(9)(b) of the Chari�es Act. An examina�on includes a review of the accoun�ng records kept by the company and a comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes considera�on of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements and seeking explana�ons from the directors concerning any such ma�ers. 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 ma�ers set out in the statement below. In connec�on with our examina�on, no ma�er has come to our a�en�on which gives us cause to believe that in, any material respect: accoun�ng records were not kept in accordance with sec�on 386 of the Companies Act 2006 the financial statements do not accord with those accoun�ng records sec�on 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Prac�ce applicable to chari�es preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Repor�ng Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) there is further informa�on needed for a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached. ## **Independent examiner's statement** We have no concerns and have come across no other ma�ers in connec�on with the examina�on to which a�en�on should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
