The Trustees are responsible for the keeping of accounting records and the preparation of financial statements which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the financial year end of the surplus or deficit of the charity for that period.

We have reviewed the financial statements for the year ended 31[st] December 2024 on pages 2 to 8 which have been prepared on a receipts and payments basis.
RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES AND EXAMINER
The charity’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity’s trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011) and that an independent examination is needed.
It is our responsibility to:
-
examine the accounts (under section 145 of the 2011 Act)
-
to follow the procedure laid down in the general Directions given by the Charity Commissions (under section 145(5)(b)
of the2011 Act); and
- to state whether particular matters have come to our attention
BASIS OF INDEPENDENT EXAMINER’S STATEMENT
Our examination was carried out in accordance with general Directions given by the Charity 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 the trustees concerning 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 whether the accounts present a ‘true and fair’ view and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
INDEPENDENT EXAMINERS STATEMENT
In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention
(1) which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
• to keep proper accounting records in accordance with section 130 of the 2011 Charities Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and comply with the accounting requirements of the Charities Act 2011.

(2) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
