**__________________________________________________________________________________**
I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30 November 2025 which are set out on pages 5 to 8.
## **Respective responsibilities of the Trustees and the Examiner**
The Trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit in not required for this year under section 144 of the Charities Act 2011 (the Charities Act) and that an independent examination is needed. I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a Certified Public Accountant.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is my responsibility to:
- Examine the accounts under section 145 of the Charities Act ('the Act');
- Follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners (under section145(5)(b) of the Act); and
- State whether particular matters have come to my attention
My report is made solely to you as Trustees pursuant to the Charities Act 2011. My examination has been undertaken so that I might state to the Trustees those matters I am required to state in this report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Trustees for my examination, for my report, or for the statement I have made.
## **Basis of Independent Examiner's Report**
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions 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 includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanation 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 accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statement below.
## **Independent Examiner's 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 accounting records were not kept in accordance with the Act; or
- the accounts did not accord with the accounting records.
I have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in th report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
