We held a stall at a local carnival to raise funds for some new ICT equipmentfor the children. We did a raffle with prizes that were donated from local buisinesses.

**Independent examiner’s report to the trustees of Rainbow Playgroup and Parent Toddlers Acomb**
I report on the accounts of: **Rainbow Playgroup and Parent Toddlers Acomb** for the year ended: **31 August 2023** which are set out on pages 5 to 7.
## **Responsibilities and basis of report**
As the charity trustees of the Trust you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the Act’).
I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination I have followed all the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act.
## **Independent examiner's statement**
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:
- 1 accounting records were not kept in respect of the Trust as required by section 130 of the Act; or
- 2 the accounts do not accord with those records
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.
