Independent Exgmlner's Report to the Trustees
I report on th¢ accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025 set out on pages six to foiirteen.
Respective responsibilitRes of the trnstees and examiner
The trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not r¢quired
for this year under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent
examination is needed.
Having satisfied myself that the Charity is not subject to audit under Company Law and is eligible for independent
examination, it is my responsil)ility to:
examine the accounts under Section 145 of the 2011 Act.
to follow the procedures laid down in the genera] Directions given by th¢ Charity Commission (under
Section 145(5) (b) of the 201 IAct); and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of the independcllt ¢xamfiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission. An
examination in¢lud¢s a rcview of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts
presented with those records. It also includes conside￿iOn of any unusual items or disclosur¢s in the accounts,
and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning such matters. The procedur¢s undertaken do not provÈde
all the evidence that would be required in an audÈL and consequently no opinion is given as to whetherthe acrounts
present a 'true aud fair vi¢w' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
Independent examiner's statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has com¢ to my attention:
Which gives me reasonable cause to believe that iffj any material resp¢cL the requir¢ments".
(l) to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records, comply with the aecounting
requirements the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Pra¢ti¢e: Accounting and
Reporting by Charities (Charities SORP FRS102) hav¢ not been met" or
(2) to which, in my opinion. attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper tmderstsnding of the
accounts to be reached.
