It is my responsibility to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the general directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 43(7)(b) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention. ## **Basis of independent examiners report** Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and the comparison of the financial statements presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the financial statements, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently we do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the financial statements. ## **Independent examiners statement** In connection with our examination of the financial statements as set out on pages 2 to 5 relating to the year ended 31 March 2022, no matter has come to our attention which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material aspect the requirements to keeping accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act and to prepare financial statements which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act have not been met or to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the financial statements to be reached.
