Independent Ei xaminers, Report
For the year ended 31 March 2025
I report on the accounts of the Tru8t for the year ended 31 March 2025 set out on pages 6 to 9.
This report is made solely to the Tru8tees in accordance with Sections 43 and 44 of the Clwities Act 1993.
My work has been ulldertaken so that I might state to the Charity's Trustees those matters I am requires to
state to them in an Independent Exarniner's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent perniitted by
law, I do not accept or as5Lrne responsibility to anyone other than the Charity and the Charity's Trustees for
y examination work.
Respective Respollslbllitles Of The Trustees and Examlner
The Charity's Tnstees (who are also the directors of the Company for the pU￿OseS of Company law) arc
responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year
under section 43(2) of the Charitics Act 1993 (the 1993 Act) and that an independent exatnination is needed.
l-Iaving satisfied myself that the cliarity is not subj ect. to audit under company law alld is eligible for
independent examinatio￿ it is my responsibility to:
Exan]ine the accounts (Ullder section 43(3)(a) of the 1993 Act).
To follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Comlnission under
section 43(7){b) of the 1993 Act" and
l o state whether particular matters have come to my altention.
Basis of the Independent Examiner's Report
My exan]ination was carried out in accordance with thc General Directions given by the Charity
Comn]tssion. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a
co]nparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items
or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking cxplanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matters.
The procedure8 undertaken do not provide al] the evidence that would be required in an audit al
consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the ￿Count8.
Opinion
In connection with my examjj￿t10.t￿ no other nmtter has come to my attention:
(l) Which gives reasonable cause to believe that in any material respeci the requirements:
. to k¢ep accounting records in accordance with section 386 of the Companies Act 2006. and
. to prepare accounts which accord with th¢ accounting records, con]ply with the accounting
requirements of section 396 ot the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the
Statement of Reconllnended Practice: Accounting and Reporting by Charities have not been met, or
2) to whicffj in my Opini￿ attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the
accounts to be reached.
