I report to the trustees on my examination of the accounts of the above charity (“the Trust”) for the year ended 31[st] March 2023 **D / MM / YYYY** . 

- **Responsibilities and** As the charity trustees of the Trust, you are responsible for the preparation **basis of report** of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 (“the Act”). 

I report in respect of my examination of the Trust’s accounts carried out under section 145 of the 2011 Act and in carrying out my examination, I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5)(b) of the Act. 

**Independent** I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have **examiner's statement** come to my attention (other than that disclosed below *) in connection with the examination which gives me cause to believe that in, any material respect: 

- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Act or

||**Respective responsibilities of the Committee and the examiner.**<br>As members of the Committee you are responsible for the preparation of the<br>financial statements. It is my responsibility to issue this report on those financial<br>statements in accordance with the terms of the regulations.<br>**Basis of the report.**<br>My examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the<br>committee and a comparison of the accounts with those records. It also<br>includes considering any unusual items or disclosures in the financial<br>statements and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such<br>matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would<br>be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express a view given by<br>these accounts.<br>**Independent Examiner’s statement.**<br>In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention.<br>(1) .
