Basi5 for opiiiion
We conduclcd uur audit in accordance with Internalioiial Standards on Aiiditing (UK) (ISAS (UK)) and
applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are fijrtlier described in 11)e audilor responsibilities for
the aiidit of the fiiiancial slalemenls section of oui. report. We ale ind¢pLndent of the chai'ity in accoi'dance with

Ethical Standard, and the provisions available for small cntilies, in the circumstances set out in noic to the
financial stateiTJenls, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilitie5 in accordance with these
requii'einenls. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appi'opriate to pi'ovide a

In the previous ac¢ounting period the company took advaniage of ihe audit exeinption foi. small ¢oiiipanies

Conclusions relating to going coneei'n
In aiidiling the financial statein¢nts, we have concluded that the Iiwslees use of the going concei'n basis of

conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast sigiiificant doubt oil the charity's ability to Continue as a
going conceni for a period of al least twelve months from when the original financial statements were aLlthoi'ised

Responsibilities of trustees
As explained inore fully in (he Slateinent of Rcsponsibilities (Set out on page 3), the trustees are i'esponsible for
the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such
int¢rnal contt'ol as the trustees deteni)ine is iiccessary to enable the prepai'alion ol financial stateinenls that are
free froin Inaterial misslaieinent, whether due lo fraud or errol-.
In prepai'ing the financial statement5, the trustees are responsible foi. assessing the cliarity's ability i'o conliniie as
a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and Usllig the going concern basis of
accounting unless the trustees either inlend to liqvidate the charity or to cease operations, or have iio realistic
alternative but to do so.
Auditor respoll5ibilities for the audit of tlic finaneial statements
Oui. objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about ivhelhei. tlie fmancial stateinenls as a whole are free
from matei'ial Inisstateiiient, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an aiiditor'5 i'eport that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assiirdnce. but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material inisstatenient when it exists. Misslatemenls can arise
froin fraud or error and are considered Inalerial if, individually or in the aggregate, they could I'easonably be
expected to influence the econoimic decisions of user5 taken on the basis of these financial statements.
