Independent Examiner’s Report to the trustees/ members of Wembley Family Church with a registered address of 115 Preston Hill, Harrow Middlesex.

I report on the accounts for the year ended 31 July 2025 which are set out on the page.

Respectve responsibilites of trustees and examiner

Wembley Family Church trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under section 43(2) of the charities Act 1993 (the Act) and that an independent examination is needed. It’s my responsibility to: Examine the accounts (under section 43 of the Act)

To follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission (under section 43(7)(b) of the Act), and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention

Independent examiner’s statement

My examination was carried out in accordance with the 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 and disclosures in the accounts and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide any 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.

In the course of my examination, no matter has come to my attention
