INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
I report on the accounts of the Meadows ChHdren and Family Wing for the year ended 31 March
2024 which are set out on pages 4 to 8.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
The charitys trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The chariws truslees
consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 144 of the Chartties Act 2011
(the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is my responsibility to:
- examine the accounts untjer section 145 of the Charities Act,
- to follow the procedures laid dovffl in the general Directions given by the Charity Commission
(under section 145{5){b) of the Charities Act. and
- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S REPORT
My examination was carried out in accordance wth the General Directions given by the Chaiity
Commission. An examination indudes 8 review of the accounting records kept by the charity and
a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also indudes consideration of any
unusual items or disclosures in the accounts. and seeking explanations from you as the trustees
conceming any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would
be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to vthether the accounts present a
rue and fair Vie￿ and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below:
INDEPENDENT EXAMINER'S STATEMENT
In connection with my examination, no material matters have come to my attention
which gives me cause to believe that in. any material respecL'
- accounting records were not kept in accordance with section 130 of the Charib'es Act or
- the accounts do not accord with the accounting records
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examinab'on to which attention should be
drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of th6 accounts to be reached.
