Independent Examiner’s Report for the Year to 30[th] June 2022 

I report on the accounts of the charity for the year ended 30[th] June 2022 

## Respective responsibilities of Trustees and examiner 

As the charity Trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of Section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) does not apply. It is my responsibility to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 43(7)(b) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## 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 explanations 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 I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts. 

## 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 requirements: 

to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act; and 

to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act; 

have not been met or;  or 

to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
