ended (if any)
Set out on pages
I reporttothe trustees on my examination ofthe accounts ofthe above
charity ("the Trust") for the year ended 31/03/2023.
Responsibilities and As the charity'strustees, you are responsible for the preparation ofthe
basis of report accounts in accordance with the requirements ofthe CharitiesAct 2011
("the Act").
I report in respect of my examination ofthe Trust's accounts carried out
under section 145 ofthe 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I
have followed all the applicable Directions given bythe Charity Commission
under section 145(5)(b) ofthe Act.
Independent The charity's gross income exceeded £250,000 and I am qualified to
examiner's statement undertake the examination by being a qualified member of Institute of
FinancialAccountants.
I have completed my examination.
I confirm that no material matters have
come to my attention in connection with the examination which gives me
cause to believethat in, any material respect:

the accounting recordswere not kept in accordance with section 130
ofthe CharitiesAct; or

the accounts did not accord with the accounting records; or

the accounts did not complywith the applicable requirements
concerning the form and content ofaccounts 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 partof 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
orderto enable a proper understanding ofthe accounts to be reached.
