We report on the accounts of the trust for the year ended 31[st] March 2024’, which are set out on the annexed pages.
Respective responsibilities of the Trustee and Examiner
The Trustees of the Charity are responsible for the preparation of the accounts and consider that the audit requirement of section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1995 (the Act) does not apply.
It is our responsibility to state on the basic of procedure specified in the general directions given by the charity commissioners under section 43(7) b of the Act, whether particular matters have come to our attention.
Basis of Independent Examiner’s Report.
Our Examination was carried in accordance with the general direction given by the charity commissioners. 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 included consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from the trustee concerning any such matters.
The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would the required in an audit, and consequently we do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent Examiner’s Statement

Which gives us reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirement
-
To keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act and
