Last week we had 495 attendances 🥳.

Kingswood had Bristol Reptile Encounters visit and they LOVED learning about the reptiles as well as being able to hold them (highly recommended them!)

Several locations had the local PCSO’s and police visit - children got to do a Q&A session as well as try on all of their uniform. A bonus was being able to explore their vehicles 👮

Lots of arts and crafts were created, junk modelling, story telling, games and sports.

This week is our final week for this summer 😢

After the amazing success we had earlier, hoping we can find some more amazing individuals ♥️

Independent Examiner Wanted

Can you help us, or do you know someone who can?
Our charity is looking for someone to carry out an Independent Examination of our annual charity accounts. Our usual contacts are unfortunately unavailable.

We are a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) and we're looking for someone with suitable accounting knowledge, skills and experience who can independently examine our accounts.

You don't necessarily need to be a chartered accountant for a charity of our size. What matters is having the appropriate financial knowledge and experience to carry out an independent examination properly and meeting the Charity Commission's requirements.

🧾 What does an Independent Examination involve?
It's essentially an independent, proportionate check of our charity's finances — it is not a full audit.
The examiner would:
• Review our accounting records and annual accounts�• Check that the accounts agree with the underlying records�• Carry out the checks required by the Charity Commission�• Ask the trustees any relevant questions�• Identify anything that needs clarification or attention�• Complete and sign the Independent Examiner's Report

We would provide all of the relevant financial records, accounts and supporting information needed to make the process as straightforward as possible.

The examiner must be independent from the charity — for example, they cannot be one of our trustees or have a relationship with the charity that compromises their independence. So, no one tagging me or relatives of mine please 😅

👋 Who might be able to help?
We're particularly interested in hearing from:
• Accountants�• Bookkeepers with charity experience�• Finance professionals�• Retired accountants or finance professionals�• People who have previously acted as independent examiners�• Anyone with appropriate accounting experience who can recommend someone

We would be incredibly grateful for recommendations, contacts or introductions to anyone who might be able to help.

We're a small charity, so if someone is able to offer their time voluntarily or at a reduced charitable rate, that would make a huge difference to us. ❤️

If you think you could help, know someone who might be suitable, or have a contact we could approach, please comment below or send me Amelia Jackson a private message.

Even a recommendation would be hugely appreciated.

Thank you! 🐢

Further information about independent examinations and examiner requirements is available from the Charity Commission

Last week we had 554 attendances at our playscheme 🎉
We had the fantastic Bristol Reptile Encounters come and visit 4 of our locations (Kingswood is this Thursday). The children and staff got to learn about bearded dragons, tortoises and several snakes - one of them was 20kg.
Here are some great photos of the reptiles along with lots of other fun things the children done and made 😊

This week is set to be VERY hot. Please make sure your child has a drink with them (no fizzy) and has sun cream on.

We look forward to another great week 😊
