The Trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. They consider that an audit is not
required for this year under section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent
examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subjert to audit under company law and is eligible for
independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Att;
to follow the procedures laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity
Commission under section 145{51{bl of the 2011 Att; and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examIne￿S report
My examlnatlon was carrled out in accordance with the general directions glven by the Charitv
Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a
comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any
unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees
concerning any such matters. These procedures do not seek to express an audit opinion on the
accounts
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
{1) which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
to keep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006; and
to prepare accounts which accord with the accountin8 records, comply with the accountlng
requirements of section 396 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and
principles of the Ststement of Recommended Prattice: Accounting and Reporting by

have not been met" or to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable
a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
