Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general Directions given by the Charity Commission.

It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, 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,no opinion is given as to whether the financial statemnets present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the next statement.
