We report on the account5 for the year ended 30 April 2024 set out on pages 6 to 11.
Retrospertive responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The trustees (who are also the directors of the company for the purposes of company lawl are
responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The trustees consider that an audit is not required
for this year under section 14511) of the Charities Act 2011 and that an independent examination is
needed.
Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subjert to audit under company law and is eligible for
independent examination, it is my responsibility to-
examine the accounts under settion 145 of the Charities Act 2011-
to follow the procedures laid down in the general directions given by the Charity Commission under
section 14515llbl of the Charitie5 Att 2011,. and
to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner's report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the general direttions 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 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 no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view,
and the report 15 limited to those matters set out in the statement below.

which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respects the requirements
