The statutory filing
The official annual report and accounts as filed with the Charity Commission for England and Wales are held on the Commission's public register at register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-search/-/charity-details/220019. Where the figures here differ from that filing by a few pounds, the statutory filing is authoritative.
If you have a question about the accounts, write to our Treasurer.
Gerald Steer will reply personally within ten working days.
