I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect:
-
accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
-
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
-
the accounts do not comply with the applicable requirements concerning the form and content of accounts set out in the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 other than any requirement that the accounts give a ‘true and fair view which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination.
I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

At a cost of £22,000 purchased a Minibus and donated it to RG Khrystyyanska Presviteriansk RG (Presbyterian Church) in Bashtanka, Ukraine to assist with their work transporting the elderly, families & young children from places of danger to places of relative safety. The Minibus will also be used to transport much needed food and supplies to the elderly in rural villages where there are no shops or bus services
