An examination include5 a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the
accounts presented with those records. It also includes corh5ideration of any unusual i(ems or disclosures in
Ihe accounts, and seeking explanations from you as Trustees concerning any such matter5. 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 accounts p￿sent a "true and fair vievf and the report is limited to those matters set
out in the statement below.
Independent Examinerfs Statement .
In connection with my examination. no matter has come to my attention:
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect.the rèquirements-
to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 130 of the Charities Act 2011.
to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting record5 and comply with the
accounting requirements of the Charities Act
have not been met,. or

accounts to be reached.
