Responsibilities and basis of report As the Charity's trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Charities Act 2011 ("the Charities Act,). I report in respect of my examination of the Charity's accounts carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act. In carrying out my examination, I have followed the applicable Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145 (5)(b) of the Charities Act. Independent Examinerfs statement I have completed my examination. I confirm that no material matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe that in any material respect: 1) accounting records were not kept in respect of the Charity as required by section 130 of the Charities Act; or 2) the accounts do not accord with those records. I have no concerns, and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination, to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
